13: The End of God’s Mission – Singing with Inspiration

By

“God’s Mission – My Mission” consistently points us to our Gracious God and how He wishes us to portray what He has done for us. In response we will reach out to others: 
Hymn 573 – I’ll Go Where You Want Me To Go, Dear Lord, hence our theme hymn. This is in response to 
So Send I You – Hymn 573.

The end of our mission on this old earth is to know 
Jesus Is Coming Again – Hymn 213, so let us lift up the trumpet and loud let it ring.

The angels in Heaven are already singing 
Holy, Holy Is What The Angels Sing – Hymn 425 and we will soon be joining them to sing the greatest Hallelujah chorus ever. We are further reminded on Sunday that we are all an 
Heir Of The Kingdom – Hymn 594 as we “join the royal family in the salvation of other human beings”.

Monday encourages us to proclaim to the world God’s message: 
Watchman Blow The Gospel Trumpet – Hymn 368 and to 
Go, Preach My Gospel – Hymn 378, with Tuesday instructing “that Christ’s death is for all people”: 
Hymn 202 – Tell It To Every Kindred And Nation.

Our Success in Mission (Wednesday) is shown in “the object of God’s mission is saving the lost”: 
Seeking The Lost – Hymn 373.

Mission Complete (Thursday) is 
When We All Get To Heaven – Hymn 633.

So, dear people, be encouraged to go forward so that we and all our friends and neighbors will be rejoicing 
When We All Get To Heaven – Hymn 633.

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.”

13: The End of God’s Mission – Teaching Plan

By

Key Thought: “I long to see very many laborers at work for those who do not know the evidence of our faith.” It is our duty to reach the world with the three angel’s messages in all parts of the world.
December 30, 2023

A. Have a volunteer read Revelation 14:6-12.

  1. Ask class members to share a short thought on what the most important point is in this passage.
  2. What do these verses have to do with our mission and message?
  3. Personal Application: Why is the judgment and the Sabbath so important in the gospel given here in Revelation? Do we really need to bring it out so boldly and clearly?” How would you respond to your relative?
  4. Case Study: One of you relatives states, “I thought the everlasting gospel was good news. Why do these messages in the second and third angel speak negatively about other churches and the mark of the beast?

B. Have a volunteer read I John 4:8.

  1. Ask class members to share a thought on what the most important point in this text is.
  2. Why does every group of people matter to God?
  3. Personal Application: How do we reach those who wish to destroy Christians? Their religion tells them to kill Christians and have their own form of Bible.? Share your thoughts
  4. Case Study: One of your friends states, “How are we supposed to reach people in other countries of different religions? They have their own beliefs and cultures. The gospel may cut across these beliefs. Sometimes they will just add Jesus to their plethora of gods and really not be converted.” How would you respond to your friend?

C, Have a volunteer read 2 Corinthians 11:2, Isaiah 30:21, 1 John 1:8.

  1. Ask class members to share a short thought on what the most important point in this text is.
  2. What do these texts tell us about the character of those who became followers of Jesus?
  3. Personal Application: How can we tell whether it is the spirit of God leading us, or the spirit of demons that go out to deceive the world? Share your thoughts.
  4. Case Study: One of your neighbors states: “What does it mean to be a chaste virgin to Christ? How can we, as sinners, do this before God and point others to become chaste virgins to Christ as well” How would you respond to your relative?

4. Have a volunteer read Revelation 21:1-4, 21:22-22:5..

  1. Ask class members to share a thought on what the most important point in this text is.
  2. What is the scene described here?
  3. Personal Application: How are you hastening Christ’s return? How are you planting seeds of hope in the hearts of those who need to hear the good news? Share your thoughts.
  4. Case Study: Think of one person who needs to hear a message from this week’s lesson. Tell the class what you plan to do this week to share with them.

(Truth that is not lived, that is not imparted, loses its life-giving power, its healing virtue. Its blessings can be retained only as it is shared.”Ministry of Healing, p. 148).

Lesson 13: The End of God’s Mission | 13.1 Revelation: God’s Last-Day Mission

By

Read Revelation 1:1–7. In what ways do you see evidence that Revelation is focused on God’s mission in the last days?
“In this book, Jesus Christ reveals the future. God gave him the command to show his servants what must soon take place according to God’s will. Christ sent an angel to his servant John to convey everything. John passes on everything he has seen and heard. He testifies to what God has said and what Jesus Christ has shown and confirmed to him. Blessed is the one who reads the prophetic words of this book to others, and blessed are those who hear and act upon them. For soon all this will come to pass. John writes this to the seven churches in the province of Asia: I wish you grace and peace from God, who is always present, who was from the beginning, and who is to come; grace and peace also from the seven spirits before God’s throne and from Jesus Christ, who reliably testifies to God’s truth. He is the first to rise from death to an imperishable life and reigns over all the kings of the earth. He loves us and has shed his blood for us to free us from our guilt. He gives us a share in his reign and has made us priests who serve God, his Father. To him belong all honor and power for eternity. Amen! Look! Jesus Christ will come on the clouds. All people will see him, even those who crucified him. Then all the peoples of the earth will mourn and lament. This will surely happen. Amen!”
The passage from Revelation 1:1–7 focuses on the revelation of Jesus Christ about the future and indicates several signs that could point to God’s mission in the end times:
  1. God’s command to Jesus Christ: The passage emphasizes that God has given Jesus Christ the command to show his servants what must soon take place according to God’s will. This suggests that Revelation reveals a divine mission regarding the future.
  2. Prophetic words: In verse 3, it is emphasized that blessedness applies to those who read, hear, and act upon the prophetic words of the book. This could suggest that Revelation is not only a passive revelation but also a call to action in view of the imminent events in the end times.
  3. Soon to be fulfilled: The text highlights multiple times that the events will soon come to pass. This emphasizes the urgency of the message and could be interpreted as a sign of the immediacy of God’s mission in the end times.
  4. The return of Jesus Christ: The mention of the return of Jesus Christ on the clouds in verse 7 is a central element. The idea that all people, including those who crucified Jesus, will see him underscores the eschatological significance and God’s end-time mission.
  5. Grace and peace: The greetings to the seven churches and the mention of grace and peace from God, the seven spirits, and Jesus Christ could be considered signs of God’s mission of redemption and peace in the end times. Overall, the emphasis on prophetic revelation, imminent fulfillment, and the return of Christ suggests that Revelation deals with God’s mission in the end times and the upcoming eschatological events.
Read Revelation 1:6 and 1 Peter 2:9. What do the titles for the redeemed in these verses signify?
Revelation 1:6 – he gives us a share in his reign and has made us priests who serve God, his Father. To him belong all honor and power for eternity. Amen!
1 Peter 2:9 – But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
Both verses emphasize the special position of the redeemed and use titles that describe their identity and role in Christ:
1.Revelation 1:6: “Kings and Priests”
    • Kings: The title “Kings” emphasizes the royal dignity and authority of believers. Through Christ, they are called to participate in his royal reign.
    • Priests: The title “Priests” indicates that the redeemed have a special connection to God and are empowered to serve Him and mediate for others. This role as priests expresses closeness to God and the ability to engage in service.
2.1 Peter 2:9: “A royal priesthood”
    • This verse uses the expression “royal priesthood,” which, like Revelation 1:6, combines the idea of royal authority and priestly function.
    • Chosen people, royal priesthood, holy nation, God’s special possession: These additional descriptions emphasize the chosen, holy, and ownership relationship of the redeemed to God. In both verses, the special position of the redeemed as kings and priests, possessing royal authority and exercising a priestly function, is emphasized. These titles underscore the privileged position of believers in Christ and their destiny to play a significant role in God’s plan of redemption.
Not only have we been created by God, but we have been redeemed by Him, and at such an amazing cost, too. Why should this truth give us so much hope, no matter our present situation?
The truth that we are not only created by God but also redeemed by Him offers immense hope, regardless of the current situation. Here are some reasons why this truth is so encouraging:
  1. Value and Significance: The fact that God has created us and redeemed us at an astonishing price indicates our immeasurable worth. We are not randomly existing beings but intentionally wanted and loved by God.
  2. Love and Grace: Redemption through Jesus Christ reveals the love and grace of God. Regardless of our mistakes and weaknesses, God is willing to redeem us and enter into a relationship with us. This love and grace provide hope even in difficult situations.
  3. Forgiveness and New Beginning: Redemption means forgiveness and the possibility of a fresh start. Regardless of the mistakes we have made, redemption gives us the chance to begin anew and move toward a life in harmony with God’s intentions.
  4. Divine Care: The astonishing price of redemption, the sacrifice of Jesus, underscores God’s dedication to our well-being. This care gives us hope, knowing that God is not indifferent to our fate but actively interested in helping and guiding us.
  5. Purpose and Meaning: Redemption gives our lives deep purpose and meaning. We are not alone in this world but have a connection to God that fills our lives with significance. This connection offers hope even when external circumstances are challenging.
  6. Eternal Life: The hope of redemption extends beyond this transient world. It promises eternal life in the presence of God, where there will be no more tears, pain, or darkness.
Overall, the truth of creation and redemption by God gives us hope because it is based on love, grace, forgiveness, care, purpose, and the promise of eternal life. Even in the most difficult life situations, we can trust in this truth and find comfort.
