  • Bible Study - Sabbath School Podcast - Episode 2488 - Lesson 8 - Sabbath August 16: Covenant @ Sinai

    Sabbath Afternoon

    Read for This Week’s Study: Exod. 19:1-20:17; Rev. 21:3; Deut. 5:6-21; James 1:23-25; Rom. 3:20-24; Rom. 10:4

    Memory Text: "You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself. Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine. And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation" (Exodus 19:4-6, NKJV).

    Where did God lead Israel after He had liberated them from Egypt? To the Promised Land—where else? However geographically correct, that answer is theologically wrong. God Himself answers it: "You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself" ’ " (Exod. 19:4, NIV; emphasis added). Thus, the biblical-theological answer to the question reveals God’s priority and goal: the Lord brought them to Himself.

    When humans depart from God, He searches for them and calls them back to Himself. The best model of this profound truth is in the Garden of Eden, when Adam and Eve sinned against God, disobeyed His command, and hid from Him. He took the initiative and called: "Where are you?" (Gen. 3:9, NKJV). He always makes the first step. Jesus states this eloquently: "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest" (Matt. 11:28-29, NKJV).

    God calls out to all of us; our eternal destiny depends on our response.

    Study this week’s lesson to prepare for Sabbath, August 23.

  • Sabbath School Study Hour - The Bread and Water of Life
    After leaving Egypt, Israel was on an unknown journey to the Promised Land. The people faced a demanding and long trek, and they needed to learn a multitude of new lessons. The Lord would lead and care for them; and, yes, He desired to help them grow, but they must learn discipline, self-control, sacrifice, unselfishness, trust in the Lord, and especially obedience.

  • AUTHENTIC with Shawn Boonstra - Questioning the Reich
    This week we're discussing the disturbing legacy of a different Reich in the 20th century. The sexual liberation movement promised to cast off the chains of oppressive morality—to let "free love" reign and hearts fully flourish. In the radical new thinking of figures like Wilhelm Reich, self-control and boundaries were now dangerous repression. But has the new paradigm truly delivered us from evil? Shawn examines the cost of divorcing biblical morality from sex.

  • Sabbath School From Home - Exodus 15 - What are we going to drink?

    There are hardships for the Israelites in the desert, perhaps unsurprisingly. 

    The lesson this week poses these challenges as "tests of Israel's faith", but we wonder whether some of the issues that arise might be better categorised as raw disobedience. How much does it change our reading of the story, and what does this mean for us today?
