Key Thought: There are several instances of resurrections before Christ died on the cross, and we want to take a closer look at these this week.
October 29, 2022

1. Have a volunteer read Luke 9:28-36. Jude 9..

1. Ask class members to share a short thought on what the most important point is in this passage.
2. What evidence do these texts show about the bodily resurrection of Jesus?
3. Personal Application: Why did Michael have to dispute with the devil in order to raise Moses from the dead? Share your thoughts.
4. Case Study: One of your relatives states, “Why didn’t God allow Moses to enter the earthly Canaan, but was allowed to enter heaven? Somehow it doesn’t make sense to Moses that disobedience kept him from the earthly, when the heavenly was more important anyway. How would you respond to your relative?

2. Have a volunteer read I Kings 1&:22, 2 Kings 4:1-7.

1. Ask class members to share a thought on what the most important point in this text is.
2. What similarities and differences do you see in these resurrections?
3. Personal Application: Why would God allow a promised child to die after a few years in the first place? Share your thoughts
4. Case Study: One of your friends states, “Why doesn’t God raise people from the dead through His people today? It seems like there would be more than in the Old Testament because of the appearance of Jesus and the power He gave His people than before He came.” How would you respond to your friend?

3. Have a volunteer read Luke 7:12-15.

1. Ask class members to share a short
2. What differences do you see in this resurrection compared to the two we just looked at?
3. Personal Application: What can we do to help the widowed and orphans and elderly around us to give them peace and comfort? Share your thoughts.
4. Case Study: One of your neighbors states: “Was Jesus’ resurrection of this child a random act, or did He do it purposely for a reason, or did He just have compassion for the woman at that moment?” How would you respond to your relative?

4. Have a volunteer read John 11:43.

1. Ask class members to share a thought on what the most important point in this text is.
2. In what sense was Jesus glorified by the resurrection of Lazarus?
3. Personal Application: Did Lazarus die again after he was resurrected? Why did Jesus say His followers would never die? Share your thoughts?
4. Case Study: Think of one person who needs to hear a message from this week’s lesson. Tell the class what you plan to do this week to share with them.

The theme hymn for this quarter’s studies “On Death, Dying and the FUTURE HOPE” is 
Hymn 214 – We Have This Hope.

Hymn 526 – Because He Lives shows that we are able to continue living today and tomorrow with great hope. It is wonderful to have Jesus who walks and talks with us, to keep encouraging us: 
Hymn 251 – He Lives.  

As in Martha’s amazing belief of the resurrection to come, we too, today, look forward to hearing the trumpet sound to take us all home with those loved ones who are now resting in their graves raised to new life: 
Hymn 418 – Day of Judgment, Day of Wonders!, 
Hymn 419 – Soon Shall the Trump of God and then 
Hymn 442 – How Sweet Are the Tidings with Jesus coming soon.

Sunday’s story of Moses is brought to us in 
Hymn 147 – Christ Upon the Mountain Peak verse 2. This is echoed on Monday with Elijah’s story. The ladies of Zarephath and Shunem show their faithfulness: 
Hymn 100 – Great Is Thy Faithfulness.

On Wednesday Jesus encourages Jairus and us “Do not fear, only believe”: 
Hymn 511 – I Know Whom I Have Believed and 
Hymn 486 – I Do Believe.

We sing in 
Hymn 2 – All Creatures of Our God and King that God’s word created life (Thursday) through His miracles: 
Hymn 111 – It Took A Miracle

Today we look forward to Jesus coming again. Oh, what a day that will be 
When We All Get To Heaven – Hymn 633.

To learn unknown hymns, you will find the accompaniment music for each one at: https://sdahymnals.com/Hymnal/

Another great resource is for when there is a hymn you wish to sing but can’t find it in your hymnal. Go to https://www.sdahymnal.org and in the search bar type a special word in that is in the hymn. I am sure you will be amazed at the help you will be given.

 2 Timothy 2:15 KJV – “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”
