Ellen White’s Mournful Christmas: the Death of Edith Andrews

By

by Amalia Goulbourne  |  13 December 2022  | Cheer and happiness are key facets of the holiday season. But after losing two grandparents in two years, I recognize how isolating it can be to feel heavy and sorrowful during the weeks of holiday cheer. The following historical story is not for the cheerful, but for […] Source: https://atoday.org/ellen-whites-mournful-christmas-the-death-of-edith-andrews/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ellen-whites-mournful-christmas-the-death-of-edith-andrews

Pioneering the Spread of the Adventist Message in Japan [History]

By



Pioneering the Spread of the Adventist Message in Japan [History] This week in Adventist history, we look at the life of a man named Teruhiko Okohira, whose work began the spread of the Adventist message in Japan. Born in Kagoshima, Japan, he grew up in an influential aristocratic family. Years later, he studied in the U.S. to become a businessman. There, he converted to Methodism but his hunger for a deeper knowledge of the Bible led him to attend Adventist camp meetings. Learn more about his story by watching the video above hosted by Dr. David Trim. And visit https://encyclopedia.adventist.org/ for more Adventist stories and events. 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 help people understand the Bible to find freedom, healing, and hope in Jesus. To learn more about the Seventh-day Adventist Church, visit https://www.adventist.org/.

By

Series ON DEATH, DYING, AND THE FUTURE HOPE with Pastor Kurt Piesslinger, M.A.

12.THE BIBLICAL WORLDVIEW
There is truth and error in this world. How can we find out about truth?

Memory Text: 1 Thessalonians 5:23 – Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

12.4 The Guidance of the Spirit
The more time we spent with Jesus, the more we will be lead by the holy spirit.

My God bless you today and always.

12: The Biblical Worldview – Singing with Inspiration

By

The theme hymn for this quarter’s studies “On Death, Dying and the FUTURE HOPE” is 
Hymn 214 – We Have This Hope.

The studies we have completed so far are reverberating in 
Hymn 203 – This Is The Threefold Truth and will do through to the end of this quarter.

Contrary to the worldwide view of the Bible, we ask 
Give Me The Bible – Hymn 272. Sabbath afternoon concludes with encouraging us “to be guided by the Holy Spirit with the purpose of being ready for Christ’s glorious appearing: 
Hymn 269 – Come, Holy Spirit.

Sunday gives us many pointers on how we may be like Jesus, our Model: 
Hymn 310 – I Would Draw Nearer to Jesus so 
I Would Be Like Jesus – Hymn 311 and Hymn 492 – Like Jesus. We may then be able to sing 
We Praise Thee With Our Minds – Hymn 642 to complete Sunday’s study time.

The last statement on Monday tells us “we should trust in God”: 
Hymn 510 – If You But Trust in God to Guide You.

Once again we may sing 
Hymn 311 – I Would Be Like Jesus (Tuesday). It is that 
Faith Is The Victory – Hymn 608 and 
All To Jesus I Surrender – Hymn 309 that we may work towards seeing The Mind of Christ.

To have The Guidance of the Spirit, we may sing heartily and yet prayerfully 
Hymn 269 – Come, Holy Spirit or 
Hymn 672 – Spirit Of The Living God as we ask daily for this guidance. 
Lead Me Lord – Hymn 691, please.

As ‘Tis Almost Time For the Lord To Come – Hymn 212, I want to be ready for the breaking of the day (verse 4). We are to be “pressing on ahead in faith” (Thursday) as is in 
Hymn 625 – Higher Ground (verse 1).

On Friday, Ellen G White says “The Lord is coming” as does 
Hymn 200 – The Lord Is Coming. Further down in the reading of the day, we are then encouraged to be cheerful as we wait for Jesus to come: 
Hymn 440 – How Cheering Is The Christian’s Hope and 
Hymn 494 – We Would See Jesus because 
In A Little While We’re Going Home – Hymn 626.

Today 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 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.”

Amen!(0)
