Dear Aunt Sevvy, I recently read an answer from you that made me think you believe God tolerates LGBTQ+ people. If so, why did God destroy Sodom and Gomorrah ? Signed, Not Me Dear Not Me: It has always astonished Aunty how many Christians are obsessed with what they believe happened at Sodom and Gomorrah.

27 March 2023 | Dear Adventist Today: It was amazing to read Raj Attiken’s article “Redundancy, Relevance, and Resources: Our Overgrown Church” in the Winter 2023 Adventist Today magazine—then to find a previous related essay from 2018, “Why We Love Our Big Fat Church Administration”! This subject was painful to the heart of my dad, Edmund […] Source: https://atoday.org/89455-2/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=89455-2
Karen Glassford joins host, Sam Neves, to discuss how Paul’s experience should encourage us to become missionaries for Jesus. Throughout His life as a follower of Jesus, Paul endured several trials as he went forth to tell the world about Jesus. Yet, even in prison, the chains couldn’t silence him. He was a powerful witness for the Gospel and continues to speak to us today. Karen Glassford reminds us that today we have the power of social media and digital ministry. She encourages us to go forward as we use these tools to be digital missionaries for Jesus! The Seventh-day Adventist Church has been an established denomination since 1863. It is a global Christian family with over 21 million members who hold the Bible as the ultimate authority. We are believers who promise to help people understand the Bible to find freedom, healing, and hope in Jesus. Want to learn more about the Seventh-day Adventist Church?

As depicted in the Bible, Jesus has never lost a battle with Satan. He is the mighty conqueror. The victor over the powers of evil. It is one thing to believe that Jesus was victorious over the temptations of Satan; it is quite another thing to believe that Christ’s victory is our victory, as well.
Although the battle still rages on earth, Satan has lost. Period. This is true not only of Christ’s ultimate victory at the climax of human history, but it is also true in our battle over the principalities and powers of evil in our personal lives. Some Christians live in frustrated defeat. They are hoping for victory over some attitude or habit but never grasp the reality of Christ’s victory for them in their personal lives.

Seven times in Revelation’s messages to the seven churches we find the expression, “he who overcomes.” Here in Revelation 12:11 we find this concept of overcoming again. The word “overcome” in the original language of the text is nikao. It can be literally translated “to conquer, to prevail, to triumph, or to come through victoriously.” Notice how it is possible for us to be overcomers. Revelation 12:11 affirms that it is “by the blood of the Lamb.”
In Revelation 5:6, in prophetic vision, John gazes into heaven and sees “a Lamb as though it had been slain” (NKJV). The sacrifice of Christ is the focus of the attention of all of heaven. There is nothing more sublime to demonstrate the infinite, unfathomable love of God than the cross.
When we accept by faith what Christ has done for us, our debt is canceled, and we stand perfect in the sight of God. Our sins are forgiven (Colossians 1:14, Ephesians 1:7, Colossians 2:14), and the “accuser of our brethren … has been cast down” (Revelation 12:10, NKJV). We are redeemed, victorious, and saved, not because of our own merits but because of Christ’s victories in our behalf.

What is church school? The term "church school ministry" usually refers to the educational programs and activities provided by a church, which are often geared toward children and youth. This can include Sabbath school classes, vacation Bible school, youth groups, and other programs designed to teach young people about the Christian faith. Church school instills in young people solid spiritual values and assists them in developing a meaningful relationship with God. When parents, pastors, and teachers work together, they can be a powerful force in shaping the spiritual development of young people. They have the ability to foster a cohesive and supportive environment in which young people can explore and deepen their faith. This helps lay a solid foundation for their spiritual lives that will serve them well for the rest of their lives. Adventist education has a unique power to prepare young people for ministry in all its forms. This is more than just education; it is about discipleship, the intentional process of nurturing and mentoring young people in their faith. Watch the video to hear Pastor Scott Ward discuss the significance of church school, particularly for our generation. —————————————————————- The Seventh-day Adventist Church has been an established denomination since 1863.

“Three Cosmic Messages” encourages us to
Watch Ye Saints – Hymn 598 as we near the end of this old world’s history to witness the Second Coming of our Lord, and Saviour, Jesus Christ. This is a wonderful hymn to give courage, dear people, and is our theme for this quarter.
We will be noting at times throughout the quarter that
“Tis Almost Time For The Lord To Come – Hymn 212 and we should be proclaiming the message that
Jesus Is Coming Again – Hymn 213.
It is with joy that I read the Sabbath afternoon’s introduction to the study this week, Jesus Wins – Satan Loses. Hallelujah!!! Reading on I am encouraged to
Fight the Good Fight – Hymn 613 and
Sound The Battle Cry – Hymn 614, then to
Stand Like The Brave – Hymn 610 because
Faith Is The Victory – Hymn 608.
Following “The Battle in Heaven” (Sunday), it is so reassuring to know
The King Of Love My Shepherd Is – Hymn 197 and that I will see Jesus
Face To Face – Hymn 206.
Tuesday reiterates the theme of the week of the wondrous love of God for humankind:
Hymn 79 – O Love Of God all because there is
Power In The Blood – Hymn 294.
Following “The Woman in the Wilderness” time in earth’s history Martin Luther encouraged everyone with
A Mighty Fortress Is Our God – Hymn 506.
So, dear people, be encouraged to go forward and
“Lift up the trumpet and loud let it ring, Jesus IS coming again” – Hymn 213.
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.”
