Sabbath School Lesson Review by the Author – Pr Mark Finley – Making Friends for God
Let's start a new quarter with the author of the new Sabbath School Lesson, Pastor Mark Finley. Sharing the gospel is difficult for some people and they feel burdened. But God is reminding us that it is not our work to do, it is God’s. He wants us to share what we already have in us. It is Jesus who we got! We can share the word of God by making friends and mingling with other people. Missionary work could be much easier if we are motivated with love and with a willingness to serve. That is why the Sabbath School lesson was written to teach us how to be an effective laborer of God in hastening His soon coming. Join us for THE ULTIMATE GUIDE IN SHARING THE GOSPEL BY PASTOR MARK FINLEY! As he summarizes the Sabbath School Lesson Quarter entitled Making Friends for God: The Joy of Sharing in His Mission (13 lesson topics). He will also share 5 tips in teaching Sabbath School lesson and 3 ways to improve the Sabbath School attendance. MEET THE HOST
