Sabbath School Study Hour

"The central issue in the great controversy between God and Satan is about who has the right to rule. True worship recounts and celebrates God’s mighty acts of Creation and Redemption."

"There are Christians who always talk in glorious terms of their past faithfulness to Christ. Unfortunately, these same Christians do not have much to share about their present experience with Christ. Their religion is nominal, lacking the true religion of the heart and genuine commitment to the gospel."

"The same Jesus who came to John with the words of hope and encouragement in the midst of his hardship on Patmos still is present with His people to sustain and support them in their difficult situations."

"The primary purpose of biblical prophecies is to assure us that no matter what the future brings, God is in control. Consequently, Revelation’s prophecies have two practical purposes: to teach us how to live today and to prepare us for the future."

"The Bible speaks confidently of the time this earth will be re-created and the ravages of sin erased forever. At last humanity will be restored to its original purpose, and all people will live in harmony."

"Our acknowledgment of Christ as the Head of the church helps us remember to whom our ultimate allegiance must belong, and that is the Lord Himself and to no one else. The church is to be organized, but that organization always must be subordinate to the authority of Jesus, the true Leader of our church."

"What does it mean to worship God? And why do we do it? Worship happens when God’s creation responds to Him with words of adoration and thankfulness for what He has done. Worship is the response of a grateful person for God’s creation and salvation."

"How can we learn to forgive those who have hurt or disappointed us? At the same time, why does forgiveness not always include a complete restoration of a previous relationship? Why does it not always need to?"

"What kind of witness do you present to others? What would one find in your life that would make them want to follow Jesus?"

"How is an appreciation of our forgiveness and justification in Christ a basis for our fellowship and community with brothers and sisters?"
