Lesson 3 Overview – Sabbath School Lesson Study

This Sabbath School Lesson 3 overview helps us understand the difference between pride and humility and how these two attitudes shape our relationship with God. It invites us to examine our hearts and choose the path that leads us closer to Him.

Lesson 3 Overview Summary

This week focuses on two opposite attitudes: pride and humility.
Pride is something we often see in others—but we must also examine our own hearts.
It shows up when we want to appear better, more important, or more right than others.
Pride began with Lucifer and led to the great controversy that still affects our world today.
It also played a role in the fall of humanity when trust shifted from God to self.
At its core, pride is choosing self over God.
We may think our value comes from our achievements, abilities, or status.
But the truth is, our value comes from God—He created us and Christ died for us.
Pride damages our relationship with God and with others.
It leads to comparison, conflict, and self-dependence instead of trust in God.
In contrast, Jesus shows us a different way—the way of humility.
His life teaches us to depend on God, serve others, and put self aside.
This week invites us to honestly examine our hearts.
It calls us to let go of pride and choose humility, just as Christ did.

This lesson is a personal call to move away from self and grow closer to God through a humble heart.
