The great lesson we learn from dear Paul this quarter is that we are to 
Stand Up! Stand Up For Jesus! – Hymn 618. This is a beautiful theme hymn that gives us a great reminder of what we need in our world, which is falling apart these days.

The Sabbath afternoon introduction to this week’s study time encourages us “how we can grow to be more like Him” as does
Hymn 245 – More About Jesus. 

With all the Disunity in Philippi (Sunday) we are taught about 
Love Divine – Hymn 191 and 
God’s Free Mercy Streameth – Hymn 110.

Monday gives us more clues as The Source of Unity, with Paul providing a picture of humility for us, as is sung in 
Hymn 406 – Love Consecrates The Humblest Act. 

The Holy Spirit is a large source of so many things to help us with unity: 
Holy Spirit, Light Divine – Hymn 268 and we can ask for more help from the Holy Spirit in 
Hymn 269 – Come, Holy Spirit.

The greatest example to follow in all we are learning this week comes for our Lord Jesus: 
Hymn 577 – In The Heart Of Jesus all because He “died on the cross in order to be our Redeemer”: 
Hymn 402 – By Christ Redeemed.

Please continue to search the scriptures this week to be blessed, and to bless others.

To learn unknown hymns, you will find the accompaniment music for each one at: https://sdahymnals.com/Hymnal/

Another great resource is for when there is a hymn you wish to sing but can’t find it in your hymnal. Go to https://www.sdahymnal.org/Search and in the search bar type a special word in that is in the hymn. I am sure you will be amazed at the help you will be given.

 2 Timothy 2:15 KJV – “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”

Key Thought: The origin of disunity stemmed from the pride and thirst for position and power. Unity through humility is a strength.
