Sabbath School Lesson 7 Summary – A Portrait of Love | Q3 2026

Sabbath School Lesson Summary for this week explores agape love in 1 Corinthians 13, the "love chapter" Paul places at the very center of his teaching on spiritual gifts. Host Kaysie Vokurka is joined by Carissa van Deventer and Alfredo Campos for a concise, interactive bible study on why every gift, and even faith itself, falls short without love — and what it actually looks like to live it out. The conversation moves through 1 Corinthians 13:1–13, unpacking the difference between agape and phileo love in the original Greek, what love is not (envious, proud, rude, easily provoked), and what love is (patient, kind, hopeful, enduring). Along the way the panel connects the passage to Galatians 5:22, Philippians 2, and 1 John 4, showing why genuine love is the fruit of the Holy Spirit rather than something we can manufacture on our own. This episode gives you the key insights, scripture references, and discussion points you need to prepare for Sabbath, plus a fresh, practical look at why love outlasts every other spiritual gift, and even faith and hope themselves. Whether you're catching up on the Sabbath School lesson for this week before class or leading your own group's bible study, this summary distills it down to what matters most: love never fails.
