In un periodo in cui il mondo si accorge delle sue fragilità Dio ci fa una pormessa: "Come Gerusalemme è circondata dai monti, così Dio sta intorno al suo popolo, ora e per sempre."

Adventist Church Youth Ministry Achieves Impressive Accomplishments; and other world news
This week in ANN: The love of mission is at the core of youth ministry in the Seventh-day Adventist Church, leading youth worldwide to serve and reach their communities through different global and regional initiatives. Through Pathfinder Clubs, One Year in Mission (OYiM), Project Caleb, Global Youth Day (GYD), Voice of Youth (VOY), and different Campus Ministries, large numbers of young people have been baptized and needs met through service projects. Together they are reaching the world to bring more souls to a saving relationship with Jesus. The Digital Evangelism Initiative (DEI) Philippines team shares Jesus with the world through social media and online platforms. Called and gathered together from different fields of life with diverse expertise and experiences, the team has one mission: to help people understand the Bible to find freedom, healing and hope in Jesus. In Iceland, around 100 Master Guides, representing 20 countries in Europe and North America, gathered to participate in the Master Guide Centennial Celebration, Expedition and Training. With the theme ”Master Guide Camp Iceland ‘The Future Together,” the event gave the participants a unique opportunity to connect and exchange new ideas, skills, and expertise with the other youth leaders.

Sabbath: Seeing the Goldsmith’s Face

Sabbath Afternoon
Read for This Week’s Study: Matthew 5:16, 1 Corinthians 4:9, Ephesians 3:10, Job 23:1-10, Matthew 25:1-12, Daniel 12:1-10, Ephesians 4:11-16.
Memory Text: “But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord” (2 Corinthians 3:18, NKJV).
Amy Carmichael took a group of children to a traditional goldsmith in India. In the middle of a charcoal fire was a curved roof tile. On the tile was a mixture of salt, tamarind fruit, and brick dust. Embedded in this mixture was gold. As the fire devoured the mixture, the gold became purer. The goldsmith took the gold out with tongs and, if it were not pure enough, he replaced it in the fire with a new mixture. But each time the gold was replaced, the heat was increased. The group asked, “How do you know when the gold is purified?” He replied, “When I can see my face in it.” — Amy Carmichael, Learning of God (Fort Washington, PA: Christian Literature Crusade, 1989), p. 50.
God is seeking to purify us, to refine us like gold, to transform us into His image. That’s an astonishing goal, and it seems even more astonishing that a Christlike character is developed in us only as we pass through life’s crucibles.
The Week at a Glance: What role does suffering have in the purifying process? How do we understand all this in the context of the great controversy?
Study this week’s lesson to prepare for Sabbath, July 23.
Amen!
