A new year is upon us. What will we do with it? "Another year, with its burden of record, has passed into eternity. We know not what that record is, and cannot know till the judgment. But a new year has commenced, and I feel like dedicating myself anew to God—soul, body, heart, and strength. A new page is turned. What shall be the record of this new year? What shall be its revelations in the history of the world? What shall be its revelation in our individual history?" – Ellen White, Letter 2, 1900 This new year, let’s rededicate ourselves to God – soul, body, heart, and strength. May we give our all to loving God and loving our neighbors as ourselves so that we would truly fulfill God’s will for our life. Listen to Pastor Ted Wilson's message as he encourages us to live a purposeful new year in Christ. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-AfcY2Nzz8&list=PL-k2Gb-DBYo_ANrUJhHN2_4bSlMDTjuqQ&index=94 ———————————————————————————— The Seventh-day Adventist Church has been an established denomination since 1863.

Changed for Life
Sarah McConaghy’s life was tragically altered one fateful day in mid-winter when the roads were hit with the first major snowfall. Everything Sarah once did without much effort became a near impossibility. However, she never gave up. Before the accident, she prayed for God to rescue her, and He did; but not in a way she expected or desired. Sarah wished her tragedy had never happened, but she is okay with it, because this was her path out of a destructive lifestyle. This was the way God saved her and changed Sarah McConaghy for life.

Sunday: We Are Part of God’s Family
“For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named” (Ephesians 3:14-15, NKJV). What imagery is evoked in this verse, and what hope is found there?
Early in Jesus’ ministry, He states, “In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name” (Matthew 6:9, NKJV). Later He repeats the same prayer privately to His disciples (Luke 11:2). Jesus told us to call His Father, “Our Father in heaven.” When Jesus encountered Mary after His resurrection, she wanted to embrace Him. Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God’ ” (John 20:17, NKJV).
Because we have the same Father as Jesus, He is our brother, and we are all brothers and sisters in the Lord. Jesus became a member of the earthly family so that we could become members of the heavenly family. “The family of heaven and the family of earth are one.” — Ellen G. White, The Desire of Ages, p. 835.
Read Exodus 3:10; Exodus 5:1; and Galatians 3:26, Galatians 3:29. What do these verses say about how God relates to us? Why should this be so encouraging?
In contrast to a view of creation in which we are deemed the mere products of cold, uncaring natural laws, Scripture teaches not only that God exists, but that He loves us and relates to us in such a loving manner that the imagery of family is often used in Scripture to depict that relationship. Whether Jesus calls Israel “My people,” or us “sons of God,” or refers to God as “our Father,” the point is still the same: God loves us the way family members are supposed to love each other. What good news amid a world that, in and of itself, can be very hostile!
| Imagine a world in which we treated everyone as family. How can we learn to relate better to all human beings as our brothers and sisters? |
