Seventh-day Adventist Encyclopedia – Unboxing An Amazing Gift
Who are the Seventh-day Adventists? Aside from keeping the seventh day as their Sabbath and healthy foods, what do we know about them? In this digital age, it is very timely to have an Adventist encyclopedia for reference. #AdventistEncyclopedia: The first of its kind The online Encyclopedia of Seventh-day Adventists (ESDA) is the first in Adventist history and it started operating on July 1, 2020. It has 2000+ articles on history, people, and institutions. This online reference has more than 3,500 photographs, many of which were never published before. And we’ll be expecting more stories, photos, and videos! What’s with the online Adventist encyclopedia?
ESDA is not exclusive for church members, it is also for people who want to know about the Seventh-day Adventists. It is for everyone! The history of the Adventist community is rich and deep. The missionaries’ true-to-life stories are inspiring where we can learn lessons from their attitudes and actions. How their ‘small’ acts contributed greatly to the work of God. Meet the ESDA editors

Sabbath School: Why Should We Tell People About Jesus?
As you watch this week's #Sabbath school video, reflect on your own experiences in #witnessing to others, #praying with others, and #ministering to the needs of others? How have these experiences impacted your own #faith and walk with the #Lord? What does #God want? He wants all people everywhere to accept His #love. He also wants people to be changed by His Holy Spirit. God wants humans to live with Him in His kingdom. More than anything else, God wants to save us. His love has no limits. We cannot measure His love. God’s love has no end. His #forgiveness never runs out. His power cannot be used up or worn out. God is different from any other god that humans ever worshiped. Humans gave these false gods gifts. But the true God gave His life as a gift for us. Do you want to be saved? God wants to save you even more than you want to be saved! (1 Timothy 2:3, 4, ERV). With all His heart, God wants to save you and me. What is witnessing all about? Witnessing is telling other people all about #Jesus and what He did to save us. It is about how Jesus changes our lives. Witnessing is about wonderful Bible truth. The #Bible teaches us about God. The Bible shows us the beauty in God’s heart. Why should we witness or tell people about Jesus? Because we understand who God is. We want to share our experience of God’s love and His mercy with other people. Why else should we witness? Because we want to work with Jesus. We want to share the joy He feels when He saves people. His love changes lives.
