Rest. The word used most frequently in our Sabbath School Lesson pamphlet this quarter. “Thou shalt rest, Thou shalt rest!” These are words repeated each verse of
Hymn 387 – Come, O Sabbath Day, our theme hymn for this quarter.

We could add to the theme
Hymn 529 – Under His Wings. Each week of study this quarter, gives more and more of showing God’s deepest care for us, His children. As God’s children we find out about the Biblical family growing pains, and this still happens today. Yet, we are still “under His wings”.

The title Sabbath Rest is found in
Hymn 381 – Holy Sabbath Day of Rest. We are reminded
Don’t Forget the Sabbath in Hymn 388. The theme of Sabbath is continued in
Hymn 390 – We Love Thy Sabbath, Lord.

During the week of study we find the
Crowning Jewel of Creation – Hymn 385 is the Sabbath Day.

Sabbath and Creation on Sunday, is in
Hymn 386 – The Sacred Anthem. We are able to ask our God to ‘Brighten Thou my Sabbath morning’ in
Hymn 389 – Light of Light, Enlighten Me. It is then that we may enjoy the Sabbath as in
Hymn 390 – We Love Thy Sabbath, Lord.

We give
Praise to the Lord – Hymn 1, the Almighty, the King of Creation. This theme is also in
Hymn 147 – Christ Upon the Mountain Peak (verse 4)

In preparation for the Sabbath Day we sing
Hymn 392 – Dear Lord We Come At Set of Sun and then worship the
Lord of the Sabbath – Hymn 393. We are then
Far From All Care – Hymn 394 and can enjoy the wonders of the Sabbath Day. We again praise the
Lord of Creation – Hymn 320.

Freedom from our earthly bondage is found in
Hymn 292 – Jesus, I Come. We are able to ask
Gracious Father, Guard Thy Children – Hymn 621 (verse 3).

We are thankful to be
Safely Through Another Week – Hymn 384 to worship on the Sabbath Day.

Blessings for a wonderful week ahead.

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: The Sabbath is not intended to be a period of useless activity. We must devote these sacred hours to rest, worship, and holy deeds
.September 4, 2021

1. Have a volunteer read Genesis 1:26,27: Genesis 9:6.

1. Ask class members to share a short thought on what the most important point is in this passage.
2. How do these verses show us how special and different we are from the rest of Creation? Why is it important for us to understand this difference?
3. How are we to respond to and interact with Creation? Share your thoughts.
4. Case Study: One of your relatives states, “Does Sabbath-keeping in relation to Creation have any impact on our responsibilities in being good environmental stewards?.” How would you respond to your friend?

2. Have a volunteer read Romans 6:1-7.

1. Ask class members to share a thought on what the most important point in this text is.
2. What kinds of slavery are we subject to today? How is this linked to the Sabbath?
3. Personal Application: What is your experience with slavery to sin? How can we appropriate the promise in Jesus for freedom from that slavery? Share your thoughts
4. Case Study: One of your friends states, “Nobody can stop sinning. I’ll bet many people still struggle with overcoming one sin or another and haven’t gotten the victory over it. They are not really free. They are still in slavery. So can God give them true freedom or not? What’s the problem?” How would you respond to your friend?

3. Personal Application: How can we have a deeper experience with God on the Sabbath day than what we are used to? Share your thoughts.
4. Case Study: One of your relatives states: “How can we be more community minded in serving others? How can the Sabbath provide opportunities to do that?“ How would you respond to your relative?

4. Have a volunteer read Isaiah 58:12-14.

1. Ask class members to share a short thought on what the main idea of this text is.
2. How are we not to do our own pleasure, nor find our own ways, nor speak our own words on the Sabbath?
3. Personal Application: How are we to honor God on the Sabbath? In what ways can we honor God on the Sabbath?” 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).
