Three Relationships – Pastor Erton Köhler
Do you ever feel like you don’t belong? In a world that values fast and listens slow, the church must sound different. The Seventh-day Adventist Church is called to keep its doors open and its message clear, with warmth that is real and faithfulness that is steady. Three relationships help a local congregation stay welcoming and faithful at the same time. Fellowship is the open porch where anyone can step in without fear. Membership is the family table where a covenant is made and disciplemaking is practiced. Leadership is the room where example, guidance, and protection are offered with humility. When we understand these relationships, we stop confusing welcome with commitment, and we stop confusing kindness with silence. Fellowship means every person is treated with dignity before they are understood and loved before they are evaluated. We do not ask for a résumé at the door. We offer a handshake, a smile, a seat, and time. "Therefore receive one another, just as Christ also received us, to the glory of God" (Romans 15:7, NKJV). Fellowship is learning names, sharing a meal, praying with a family in crisis, visiting the sick and the lonely. Fellowship creates trust. Trust opens the heart. Membership is the relationship of a covenant. It is the public step of baptism and the daily step of disciplemaking. Membership is not earned by talent, background, education, culture, or social status. It is a response to Jesus, a choice to follow Him in truth, worship, and mission. "If you love Me, keep My commandments" (John 14:15, NKJV). Leadership is not a higher class of Christian. It is a deeper responsibility. Leaders are not perfect people. They are people who must walk closely with God. Scripture calls leaders to shepherd the flock and to serve willingly, being examples to the flock. True leadership protects both truth and tenderness. Fellowship keeps our arms open. Membership keeps our identity anchored. Leadership keeps our mission focused. Let us be a people who welcome widely, disciple deeply, and lead gently, until Jesus comes. About the series From the Heart is a weekly devotional series in which Pastor Köhler reflects on what it means to be grounded in the Bible and focused on the mission, collectively and individually. Each episode is grounded in the four pillars of the Seventh-day Adventist Church strategic plan: Communion with God, Identity in Christ, Unity through the Holy Spirit, and Mission for All. The series connects biblical faith to everyday life, sharing short reflections and glimpses of how God is at work through the Adventist Church around the world.

Growing Up With an Addict
by Gail Broeckel | 5 June 2026 | Addiction is a terrible curse, one that has affected my family most of my life. My brother (I’ll call him Sam) started experimenting with drugs around age twelve. Young Sam was fun to be around. As kids, we were close. We rode bikes together. We played together. […] Source: https://atoday.org/growing-up-with-an-addict/
Sabbath: Setbacks
Daily Lesson for Sabbath 6th of June 2026
Image © Pacific Press
Read for This Week’s Study
Mark 4:35-41; Mark 5:21-34; Romans 5:3-5; Job 19:23-27; Job 23:8-12; Luke 24:13-27; Romans 8:18,28.
Memory Text:
“And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us” (Romans 5:3-5, NKJV).
One evening, as the sun dipped over the horizon, a girl was walking home when a dark storm blew in. She quickened her pace, knowing there was still a way to go. A lone raindrop fell on her cheek, then another, and, before she knew it, she was drenched. She started to run toward the front door of her home, where her father rushed to meet her. He had been watching her from the front window. As he wrapped a blanket around her shoulders, he asked her, “I saw you just now, in the rain. Why, with every bolt of lightning, did you stop running to look up and smile?”
“Oh, I stopped to look up,” she said, “because God was taking my picture!”
What is our response when the storms of life come or when we have certain setbacks in our relationship with God? Do we put our head down as the rain pelts upon our backs or do we look up, knowing and trusting that God is there as we turn our face toward Him?
This week, we’ll explore some responses we often have when life is challenging. We’ll consider how we might use life’s setbacks to strengthen, not weaken, our most important relationship.
*Study this week’s lesson to prepare for Sabbath, June 13.
