That feeling? The slowing down, the deep sigh, the quiet pull to pause, it’s not laziness. It’s sacred rhythm. Sabbath was made for you to rest, reset, and be reminded that you are more than what you produce. Lean in. Let go. Sabbath is here. Share this reel to invite someone to Sabbath with you.

Sabbath: Life and Death
Daily Lesson for Sabbath 10th of January 2026
Image © Pacific Press
Read for This Week’s Study:
Philippians 1:19-30, 1 Corinthians 4:14-16, 2 Corinthians 10:3-6, John 17:17-19, Micah 6:8, Acts 14:22.
Memory Text: “For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain” (Philippians 1:21, NKJV).
Death, we’re often told, is just part of life. That’s a lie. Death is the opposite of life, the enemy of life. Death was no more built into life than wreckage was built into a car. Paul emphatically says that Christ died to “destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; and deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage” (Hebrews 2:14-15).
Although ready to die for Christ, Paul was confident of his long-term fate. The most important thing for him in the meantime was, by his own life or death, to honor Christ and to preach the gospel to as many as possible. Perhaps that is one reason we have so many epistles bearing his name. Through his writings, he could reach many people and places, including places that he himself had never visited.
Life is short, and it is vital to make the biggest impact possible for God’s kingdom within the span of the years that God grants us. No small part of that impact has to do with our encouraging “the unity of the faith.” As we shall see beginning this week, this theme was one important reason for Paul’s writing to the Philippians.

When Praise Feels Hard, God Is Still Good
When trials come, praising God does not always feel natural. Yet Job chose trust over bitterness. His experience is a reminder that even in loss, God remains worthy of praise. Think of God’s faithfulness in your life and share what you want to praise God for in the comments. Are there blessings you want to thank God for? #AWR360 #HappySabbath Source: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/jquXS0E8jDQ
If Words Have Power, Imagine What Prayer Can Do – Pastor Erton Köhler
In this episode From the Heart, Pastor Erton Köhler, president of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, shares something deeply personal about the one unchanging truth that sustains him in every circumstance: Prayer. Prayer connects human weakness with divine strength. It transforms anxiety into confidence, restlessness into peace, and uncertainty into mission. From northern India's Uttar Pradesh with over 200 million people, to the remote islands of the Maldives—prayer reaches where visas cannot go. Pastor Köhler shares three principles of powerful prayer: pray with boldness, pray with persistence, and pray with dependence. He reminds us that every word spoken, tear, or sigh in faith is heard by God, who never forgets His children. Your prayer may not immediately change the situation, but it will change you. Watch now and pray with new courage. About the series
