Lode a Gesù che è nato. Concerto online
Il Dipartimento nazionale della Scuola del Sabato bambini e ragazzi è felice di invitare alla quinta edizione del festival di adorazione dal titolo “Lode a Gesù che è nato”. Non poteva mancare questo appuntamento con il concerto di lode, in cui bambini e ragazzi, da 0 a 18 anni, hanno potuto esprimere ringraziamento e gioia attraverso il canto e la musica per l'evento che ha cambiato la storia dell'umanità, e quindi la nostra storia personale: la nascita di Gesù. Venendo tra noi, senza esigere privilegi, Gesù ha conquistato il nostro cuore. Il concerto è stato trasmesso venerdì 23 dicembre, alle ore 19, in streaming su hopemedia.it Ospiti speciali: Emanuel Sambula Nteba e i God on the road.

Such a Strange Way to Save the World!
by Christopher C. Thompson | 23 December 2022 | Did you ever participate in a Christmas pageant or recite an Easter speech? If you have, then you’ll appreciate the story I have to tell you. When I was growing up in the First African Baptist Church in Beaufort, South Carolina, we commonly had Christmas pageants, […] Source: https://atoday.org/such-a-strange-way-to-save-the-world/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=such-a-strange-way-to-save-the-world
Sabbath: All things New
Sabbath Afternoon
Read for This Week’s Study: 2 Peter 3:13; Revelation 21:3, Revelation 21:22; 1 John 3:2-3; 1 Peter 1:22; Isaiah 25:8; Revelation 22:3-5.
Memory Text: “Then He who sat on the throne said, ‘Behold, I make all things new.’ And He said to me, ‘Write, for these words are true and faithful’” (Revelation 21:5, NKJV).
Scripture gives us this hope: “But according to His promise we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells” (2 Peter 3:13, NASB).
For some, however, the promise of “a new heaven and a new earth” (Revelation 21:1) seems like a fantasy, stories told by those in power who used the hope of an afterlife to help keep the masses in line. The idea being: Though you have it hard at present, one day you will have your reward in heaven, or the like.
And though some people have used the future hope presented in the Bible that way, their abuse doesn’t change the truth of the promises that we have regarding the new heavens and the new earth.
In the last days, scoffers will ridicule our blessed hope (2 Peter 3:3-7). But their scoffing, just as predicted, could be seen as more evidence that what the Bible says is true, for they are scoffing as the Bible predicted they would.
During this week we will reflect on the glorious promise of a new heaven and a new earth, including the heavenly temple, the presence of God, the end of death and tears — and, finally, the ultimate triumph of God’s love.
Study this week’s lesson to prepare for Sabbath, December 31.
