Efesini 1:20,21 Questa potente efficacia della sua forza egli l'ha mostrata in Cristo, quando lo risuscito' dai morti e lo fece sedere alla propria destra nel cielo, al di sopra di ogni principato, autorita', potenza, signoria e di ogni altro nome che si nomina non solo in questo mondo, ma anche in quello futuro.

While 2020 has certainly brought its fair share of uncertainty, doubt and fear, I come back to the calming power of hope.
Jesus often spoke about hope and His words hold a special kind of meaning right now: “In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world” (John 16:3, ESV).

Seventh-day Adventists in the Santa Catarina state of Brazil won’t let a mere global pandemic stop their quest to help people live free of smoking: the University Adventist Church in Florianópolis, the state capital, recently produced a five-day stop smoking clinic online, and the impact was life-changing.
