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

The studies we have completed so far are reverberating in 
Hymn 203 – This Is The Threefold Truth and will do through to the end of this quarter.

To answer all our questions, the Bible is our best inspiration: 
Hymn 272 – Give Me The Bible. It is in this treasured book that we have the 
Blessed Assurance – Hymn 462 that 
Christ Is Coming – Hymn 201 as is stated on Tuesday.  

Wednesday closed with “be faithful”:
 Hymn 602 – O Brother, Be Faithful.

We may sing in Hymn 582, Hymn 336 and Hymn 511 that we are unworthy, sinful, weak, but it is because of our Gracious God we can be “counted worthy to suffer for Christ” (Friday). All this is due to Jesus in my place: 
Worthy, Worthy Is The Lamb – Hymn 246.

Today we look forward to Jesus coming again. Oh, what a day that will be 
When We All Get To Heaven – Hymn 633 because 
That Glorious Day Is Coming – Hymn 209.

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.”

Key Thought: We need to look at some passages that some people us to justify the natural immortality of the soul. These reflections should strengthen our own convictions and help us to answer those who question this important teaching.
November 26, 2022

1. Have a volunteer read Luke 16:19-31.

1. Ask class members to share a short thought on what the most important point is in this passage.
2. Why is this story not a literal description of life after death?
3. Personal Application: Why did Jesus use a prevailing misconception of hell in His parable to the Pharisees? Share your thoughts..
4. Case Study: One of your relatives states, “Jesus said the rich man was in a place of torment and Lazarus was in the bosom of Abraham. That tells us Jesus believed there was a heaven and hell.” How would you respond to your relative?

2. Have a volunteer read Luke 23:43.

1. Ask class members to share a thought on what the most important point in this text is.
2. How should Jesus’ promise to the thief on the cross be understood when compared to other Scriptures?
3. Personal Application: Why do people misread and misunderstand the Scriptures so often? Share your thoughts
4. Case Study: One of your friends states, “Jesus told the thief he would be with Him in heaven that day. So why don’t you believe the thief and Jesus didn’t go to heaven that day, like Jesus promised?” How would you respond to your friend?

3. Have a volunteer read I Peter 3:13-20..

1. Ask class members to share a short thought on what the most important point in this text is.
2. How did God preach to those in the prison house of sin before the flood in the times of Noah? What effect did that preaching have?
3. Personal Application: What similar preaching are we giving today that seems just as unlikely as a world-wide flood in Noah’s day? Share your thoughts.
4. Case Study: One of your neighbors states: “Jesus went ot hell and preached to those who were lost. That’s obvious. What I don’t understand is, if they are already lost, why did Jesus preach to them? Do they get a second chance or was He just explaining to them why they were lost?.” How would you respond to your relative?

4. Have a volunteer read Revelation 6:9-11.

1. Ask class members to share a thought on what the most important point in this text is.
2. How could the souls of the martyrs cry out from under the altar?
3. Personal Application: Have you seen injustice that has not been rectified, dealt with, or remedied? What is the difference in the response of the faithful, and those who want justice now?? 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.

(Truth that is not lived, that is not imparted, loses its life-giving power, its healing virtue. Its blessings can be retained only as it is shared.”Ministry of Healing, p. 148).
