Joe Stagg describes himself as “a stubborn fisherman” from the northeast coast of Newfoundland. Joe feels certain his wife has grown a pair of wings; he says, “She has to be an angel to have loved me so unconditionally for more than 40 years.” Though he willfully resisted God time and time again, Joe’s powerful story of redemption and grace shows how God patiently pursued him.

by Shelley Curtis Weaver | 3 October 2025 | Whenever I talk with Adventists who have been in 12 Step recovery groups, they almost always say, “I wish my church was more like my 12 Step group.” One of the things that puzzled me most when I began attending 12 Step recovery meetings was their […] Source: https://atoday.org/do-aa-and-al-anon-have-the-steps-to-better-adventism/
Daily Lesson for Sabbath 4th of October 2025

Memory Text: “By faith the harlot Rahab did not perish with those who did not believe, when she had received the spies with peace” (Hebrews 11:31, NKJV).
Why did I do this again?” Perhaps we all have uttered these words. After all, not only history repeats itself but so does humanity in general and we ourselves in particular. How often we repeat the same mistakes!
Israel has a second chance of entering the Promised Land, and Joshua takes this mission seriously. The first step is to have a clear understanding of what Joshua and the Israelites face. Joshua sends out two spies to bring him valuable information about the land: its defense system, military preparedness, water supplies, and the attitude of the population in the face of an invading force.
One would think that God’s promise of giving the land to the Israelites did not require any effort from them. Yet, the assurance of divine support does not override human responsibility. Israel stands at the border of Canaan for a second time. Expectations run high, but the last time Israel was at the border and had the same task, it resulted in an abysmal failure.
This week, we will explore two of the most fascinating stories of the book of Joshua and discover their relevance to our faith today. God’s grace has infinite possibilities to surprise us.
