Can you imagine living without the invisible forces of electricity, microwaves, or WiFi?
What would life be like if your WiFi stopped working for say two years? Would you survive?
As impactful as these invisible realities are on your life, ultimately when you’re lying on your bed at night contemplating the meaning of life, the desire of your heart is for something more. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQzr8K-U_fk

5 Minutes or Less | Pride vs Humility | September 23, 2021
In Matthew 20, we are told of a couple of disciples who wanted Jesus to make them His right-hand men. They believed they deserved this "promotion" instead of the other 10 disciples. Jesus basically says to them, "You want to be a leader? Learn to serve! Don't you see that I came to serve and not to be served?!" What is in your heart? The devil's pride or Christ's humility?

Sabbath: Preamble to Deuteronomy

Sabbath Afternoon
Read for This Week’s Study: Isaiah 14:12-14, Ezekiel 28:12-17, Genesis 3:1-7, Genesis 12:1-3, Acts 7:20-36, Exodus 19:4-8.
Memory Text: “He who does not love does not know God, for God is love” (1 John 4:8).
The book of Deuteronomy, of course, did not arise in a vacuum. As with everything in life, Deuteronomy exists in a context; and, as with everything in life, that context plays an important role in understanding what the book means and what its purpose is.
A lot of history came before it — a history that explained the circumstances, not only of the book itself but of the world and environment that created its context. Just as it would be hard to understand the purpose and function of a windshield wiper outside the context of a car, it would be hard to understand Deuteronomy, especially in light of our theme (Deuteronomy and present truth), outside the context in which it arose.
Someone had read Russian Leo Tolstoy’s War and Peace — about 1,500 pages in just three days. When asked what the book was about, the reader replied: “It’s about Russia.”
To cover in one week’s lesson the thousands of years of history before we come to Deuteronomy is to do somewhat the same thing. But by focusing on the highlights, we can see the context needed to best understand this book, so rich with “present truth.”
Study this week’s lesson to prepare for Sabbath, October 2.
Amen!
