“Una noche oscura y tormentosa”: Una historia bíblica
La tierra prometida. Se asienta sobre lo que una vez se llamó el Gran Valle del Rift. Aquí, una placa tectónica subduce (se desliza por debajo) a la otra. Y en la cima de esta línea de placas se asienta la Tierra Prometida, con sus dos lagos (el Mar de Galilea y el Mar Muerto) […] Source: https://atoday.org/una-noche-oscura-y-tormentosa-una-historia-biblica/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=una-noche-oscura-y-tormentosa-una-historia-biblica
Sabbath: Offerings for Jesus
Image © Pacific Press
Sabbath Afternoon
Read for This Week’s Study: 2 Corinthians 9:6-7; Deuteronomy 16:17; Psalm 116:12-18; 1 Chronicles 16:29; Mark 12:41-44; Mark 14:3-9.
Memory Text: “What shall I render to the LORD for all His benefits toward me? I will take up the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD. I will pay my vows to the LORD now in the presence of all His people” (Psalm 116:12-14, NKJV).
Besides tithing, there are offerings, which come from the 90 percent that remains in our possession after our tithe is returned to God. This is where generosity begins. Different types of offerings were given by God’s people, such as sin offerings, given in response to God’s grace, or thank offerings, given to recognize God’s protection, and blessings of health, prosperity, and sustaining power. There were also offerings for the poor, and offerings to build and maintain the house of worship.
When we consider the magnitude of God’s gifts to us, we then begin to see our giving as more than just paving the parking lot or buying choir robes. We bring our gifts in response to what God has done for us, especially in the sacrifice of Jesus. “We love Him because He first loved us” (1 John 4:19, NKJV). The church, then, whether it be local, conference, or worldwide, uses our gifts to advance the cause of God. This week we will review what the Bible has to say about offerings as part of our management of God’s business on the earth.
Study this week’s lesson to prepare for Sabbath, January 28.
Amen!

The start of a different year – Scottish Mission Training Day
More than ninety leaders from churches around Scotland gathered in Crieff on Sunday, 15 January, for a Scottish Mission church officers’ orientation day. The event, which has become an annual institution, was described by one seasoned elder from Aberdeen as “one of the best events so far.” Pastor Jimmy Botha, President of the Adventist Church in Scotland, was pacing as the 10 am starting time came close. The Stanborough Press Bookshop had been set up and was getting ready for a roaring trade….Source: https://adventist.uk/news/article/go/2023-01-20/the-start-of-a-different-year-scottish-mission-training-day/
