“MANAGING FOR THE MASTER Till He Comes” will show us that 
God Is Working His Purpose Out – Hymn 225 in all our we do and say. May we be encouraged by this hymn for this quarter and that 
In Our Work And In Our Play – Hymn 591 we will work until Jesus comes. Hence, a choice of theme hymns for this quarter.

Sabbath afternoon’s introduction reminds us that we are strangers in this world: 
Hymn 445 – I’m But A Stranger Here but as the lesson studies go on during the week, we are able to be helpful to others as Jesus requested: 
Hymn 578 – So Send I You. We will see so many times in Jesus’ life that he was homeless, poor and rejected as in 
Hymn 152 – Tell Me The Story of Jesus, particularly in verse 2.

The Rich Young Ruler did not sing 
Hymn 292 – Jesus, I Come or 
Hymn 623 – I Will Follow Thee and he left without being able to sing 
Hymn 463 – Peace, Perfect Peace.

On the other hand, we have Zacchaeus who would heartily sing 
Hymn 623 – I Will Follow Thee, 
Hymn 573 – I’ll Go Where You Want Me To Go,  because 
Just As I Am – Hymn 313, all because Jesus said 
So Send I You – Hymn 578.

Thursday we find Job wishes to be proactive in 
Seeking The Lost – Hymn 373 and 
Hymn 367 – Rescue The Perishing so that he would then be ready for the great judgment day (Friday): 
Hymn 416 – The Judgment Has Set.

Today, and every day, we look forward to Jesus coming again. Oh, what a day that will be 
When We All Get To Heaven – Hymn 633 because 
That Glorious Day Is Coming – Hymn 209.

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.”

Key Thought: Widows and fatherless are those who have lost spouses and parents. Single-parent families are many today. Helping the poor is not an option, but a command.
February 18, 2023

1. Have a volunteer read Leviticus 23:22, and Deuteronomy 15:11.

1. Ask class members to share a short thought on what the most important point is in this passage.
2. Who are those that we are supposed to help that are called our “brothers” or brethren?
3. Personal Application: How do you, as an individual, help the poor by opening your hand to them? Share your thoughts.
4. Case Study : One of your relatives states, “In America, we pay taxes that are used and misused to help the poor in food, housing, Medicaid, and clothing. We should help those truly in need, but many are living off the government and having babies as a crutch to get help. They don’t work, neither do they want to. How are we supposed to deal with these cases?” How would you respond to your relative?

2. Have a volunteer read Matthew 19:16-22.

1. Ask class members to share a thought on what the most important point in this text is.
2. What did Jesus mean when He told the rich young ruler to sell all that he has and give it to the poor?
3. Personal Application: What does it mean to lose your life for the gospel? Share your thoughts.
4. Case Study: One of your friends states, “I don’t believe Jesus expects us to give away everything we have and give it to the poor. It would be a drop in the bucket for all the poor people in the world. And it would just add one more poor family to the mix. I think that Jesus said that because the rich young ruler was covetous.” How would you respond to your friend

3. Have a volunteer read Luke 19:8-10.

1. Ask class members to share a short thought on what the main idea of this passage is.
2. What were the differences between the rich young ruler and Zacchaeus?
3. Personal Application: How do you view your role as a steward of the money and goods that God has given you? Share your thoughts.
4. Case Study: One of your neighbors states: “Does repentance from sin also involves restoration of goods, property, or money that was obtained illegally or fraudulently?.” How would you respond to your relative?

4. Have a volunteer read Job 29: 2-16.

1. Ask class members to share a thought on what the most important point in this text is.
2. What here shows what made Job’s character so stellar?
3. Personal Application: How many of these actions are still appropriate today? How do you match up to Job in your care for those in need? 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).
