The Sabbath wasn't a consolation prize for Adam and Eve in the garden, and it's not today for us. The Sabbath is not a test of holiness. It's not a divider for the good and the bad. So, what is it? Watch and share. Source: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/rAZx4vhfbA4
Sunday: Out of the Overflow
Daily Lesson for Sunday 14th of June 2026
Read the Great Commission in Matthew 28:18-20. Write down the different messages of Jesus when He says “all” or “always” (which in Greek is the same word pas).
Jesus gave us a mandate to share His message with the world: “Go therefore and make disciples.” The mission of the Seventh-day Adventist Church is to make disciples, who can then make other disciples. That way we are all proclaiming the everlasting gospel and the three angels’ messages (Revelation 14:6-12) to prepare our world for Jesus’ soon return.

Anyone who has received a new life in Christ is called to witness. Yet, too often, people think about witnessing as something that they can’t do or don’t want to do. You might picture yourself preaching on a street corner or giving a complex Bible study, and so you shake your head. “Not me! No way! I’m an introvert; witnessing isn’t my comfort zone.”
However, true witnessing is often the result of being an eyewitness to what God is doing in your life, of noticing what He is teaching you as you grow in Him, and then simply sharing your experience with others. God is so good, and what He has done for us is the best news that this world can hear. We cannot and should not be silent! He has redeemed you; He has called you by name—you are His. Could there be any better news for anyone anywhere?
Although the disciples in the early church weren’t educated in the Rabbinical schools or eloquent in the oral traditions, we can still learn from them.
Read Acts 1:8 and Acts 4:13. What was witnessing like for the early church? What impact did Peter and John have on those who heard them witness?
Peter and John went on to declare, “ ‘For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard’ ” (Acts 4:20, NKJV). “They had been with Jesus” (Acts 4:13) and were compelled to share. The Holy Spirit gave them boldness and a convincing power in their words.

Spend some time in prayer right now. Ask God for courage to share Him with people He puts in your life. Ask Him for wisdom to know when to share and what to say. Read 1 John 4:7-11 and pray for this kind of love. |
EDITORIAL: Born Somewhere, Born Someone
During our last Adventist Today Sabbath Seminar, I had the opportunity to share (tearfully, I’ll admit) a statement I heard from the mouth of Greg Boyle, whose title of Father is profoundly real to hundreds of souls living in the gang communities of Los Angeles. With the authority of one who knows, he declares: “The […] Source: https://atoday.org/editorial-born-somewhere-born-someone/

Who you walk with matters. #shorts #wisdom
Who you walk with matters. The voices around us shape our thoughts, habits, priorities, and spiritual direction more than we often realize. Proverbs 13:20 reminds us that wise friendships lead us toward wisdom, while unhealthy influences can slowly pull us off course. Take a moment today to evaluate the company you keep — and the influence you are becoming in someone else’s life. #wisdom #goodcompany #renereflections #dailymotivation #goodchoices Source: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/c2HunlT-rWA
Fare pace richiede più coraggio che fare guerra.
Ci sono muri che costruiamo per orgoglio, o a causa di ferite, o per rancore. Li conosciamo bene perché li abbiamo alzati noi stessi. Gesù lo disse chiaramente: beati gli operatori di pace. Non chi la subisce, ma chi la costruisce. 👇 C'è un muro che potresti abbattere oggi? Source: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/EZ-WK6tftBc

Switch off This Sabbath
Hebrews 4:9-10 says, “There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His” (NKJV). Do you need rest this week? God says, if we are His people, we get to rest in Him—and that means resting from work too! Share this with someone who needs a reminder to rest this week. Happy Sabbath!

The Quiet Crisis – Pastor Erton Köhler
We are the most connected generation in human history. We have devices in our pockets that link us to eight billion people and thousands of friends on social media, and are constantly notified, tagged, and messaged. Yet public health experts are screaming a warning that we cannot ignore: we are living through a global epidemic of loneliness. We are drowning in information, but we are starving for connection. This is not just a feeling. It is a medical emergency. The Surgeon General of the United States recently released an advisory stating that chronic loneliness is as lethal as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. Think about that comparison. Being disconnected from people damages your heart and shortens your life just as much as a serious addiction to tobacco. The World Health Organization declared loneliness a "global public health priority." They found that social isolation increases the risk of stroke by 30% and the risk of dementia by 50%. The loneliest generation today is Generation Z. The very young people who are digital natives, and spend hours scrolling through the lives of others, report the highest levels of emptiness. They see the highlight reels of their friends' lives and feel utterly excluded. God addressed this issue before sin even entered the world. In the book of Genesis, God looked at a perfect world—a world with no pain, no death, and no conflict—and He made one negative observation. He said, "…It is not good for man to be alone…" (Genesis 2:18, NKJV). If it was not good in Paradise, imagine how bad it is in a world of sin. We were designed for community. We are biologically and spiritually wired to belong. Sociologists talk about the concept of the "Third Place." Your First Place is your home. Your Second Place is your work or school. But for a society to be healthy, people need a Third Place: a community where they are known by name, where they are missed when they are absent, and where they are loved without condition. For billions of people, the local church is the only potential Third Place left. We need to move from being a friendly church to being a church of friends. Let us make our churches the warmest places on earth. "By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another" (John 13:35, NKJV). 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.
