Lesson Summary
The class began with a prayer and a reading of 1 John 2:15, emphasizing that love for the world excludes love for the Father. Teacher Jesus Sanchez then connected this principle to the biblical account of King David’s sin with Bathsheba in 2 Samuel 11, highlighting how David’s desire for the world led to disastrous consequences and divine judgment. Sanchez shared his own life story, describing his early resistance to God’s call, a period of personal failure, a transformative fast, and a later divorce that left him isolated. He explained how God guided him to Linder Road Church of Christ, where he was baptized, accepted into a loving community, and encouraged to pursue ministry. The lesson culminated with the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18‑20), urging believers to let God prevail in every circumstance and to step into God‑appointed service. Throughout the session, Sanchez stressed that surrendering worldly ambitions and trusting God’s timing leads to lasting peace and purpose. He confessed his lingering doubts about preaching but affirmed that God continues to open doors, such as his acceptance into Sunset International Biblical Institute. The central message was a call to let God’s will dominate our lives, striving to obey His commands and share His love with others.
