We pray for healing in your heart and for you to experience the true love of Jesus, free from judgment and full of grace. You are deeply loved.

You Can Do this Too!

At ADRA, we’ve seen how the most meaningful change happens when churches listen to their communities and respond with care, and we’re here to support that journey. Not just with funding—but with guidance, encouragement, and resources to help you shape a response that’s thoughtful, informed, and rooted in your context. If this series has stirred something in you, now’s a good time to start asking questions. Talk to your community. Reflect with your team. Begin imagining what’s possible.

Lives Changed

When a church listens and responds with care, it doesn’t just impact the people they serve. It reshapes the church too—how we relate to our neighbours, how we see need, and how we understand our calling. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6k9XBDK_Ks

Faithful Steps

No project begins perfectly. And it doesn’t need to. But it does begin with intention—with a church asking, What do we have? and How can we offer it in a way that truly serves our neighbours? Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRuMXV7CCuk

Seeing the Need

By



The first step toward meaningful impact isn’t action—it’s awareness. Churches that are serving well didn’t jump into solutions. They started by slowing down. Paying attention. And asking questions like, ‘Who in our community is carrying something heavy?’ ‘Where are the gaps—and how can we walk alongside the people already doing good work? These answers don’t come from assumptions, but from listening—building relationships, asking questions, and letting the community guide the response.

It Starts with the Heart

By



Across Canada, churches are rethinking what it means to serve their communities. Not by launching big programs—but by slowing down… and paying attention. They’re asking simple but powerful questions: What do we already have? And who can we come alongside? Some began by asking their community what was missing.

10: The Covenant and Blueprint — Teaching Plan

By

Key Thought: Approximately one-third of the book of Exodus deals with the tabernacle. Its importance in God’s covenant is rooted in animal sacrifice, which points to Christ’s sacrifice, sealed with blood.
September 6, 2025

1. Have a volunteer read Exodus 24:1-8.

  1. Ask class members to share a short thought on what the most important point is in this passage.
  2. What roles do the reading of the word and sprinkling of the blood play in ratifying the covenant between God and His people?
  3. Personal Application: Israel said that they would do what God said, but they failed. How many times have we said the same thing, only to fail? Share your thoughts.
  4. Case Study: One of your relatives states, “Why was the covenant established and focused on blood and death? Why was the blood brought into the sanctuary?” How would you respond to your relative?

2. Have a volunteer read Ezekiel 36:26-28.

  1. Ask class members to share a thought on what the most important point in this text is.
  2. How does obedience take place in our lives?
  3. Personal Application: Since we have been promised the power to obey, why do we find it so easy to fall into sin anyway? Share your thoughts.
  4. Case Study: One of your friends states, “Why is the Sabbath a sign of holiness and sanctification? What role do holiness and sanctification play in keeping the sabbath?” How would you respond to your friend?

3. Have a volunteer read Exodus 25:1-9.

  1. Ask class members to share a short thought on what the most important point in this text is.
  2. What practical and spiritual truths are seen in these verses?
  3. Personal Application: Is it important where we worship God now? Aren’t our bodies the temple of God? So wherever we are, God is with us. Share your thoughts.
  4. Case Study: One of your neighbors states: “The sanctuary was a special place for the Jews to meet with God through sacrifice and blood offerings through the priesthood. Why do we consider our churches today as a sanctuary when we no longer bring blood and sacrifices to God and the priesthood has been abolished?” How would you respond to your neighbor?

4. Have a volunteer read Exodus 31:1-18.

  1. Ask class members to share a thought on what the most important point in this text is.
  2. What assistance did God give so that the tabernacles and services would be built in a proper way?
  3. Personal Application: Why was the mercy seat to be set right over the Ten Commandments? What hope do we see in this fact?? 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).
