Recent and ongoing studies show that psilocybin, a psychedelic substance derived from mushrooms, has promising therapeutic effects for hard-to-treat disorders such as addiction, depression and end-of-life anxiety. The DEA classifies psilocybin as a drug that has a high potential for abuse, has no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States, and has […] Source: https://atoday.org/quite-the-trip-adventist-hospitals-cancer-center-explores-use-of-magic-mushrooms-to-treat-depression/
Sabbath: Jacob-Israel
Image © Pacific Press
Sabbath Afternoon
Read for This Week’s Study: Genesis 32:22-31; Hosea 12:3-4; Jeremiah 30:5-7; Genesis 33:1-20; Genesis 34:30-35:29.
Memory Text: “And He said, ‘Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for you have struggled with God and with men, and have prevailed’” (Genesis 32:28, NKJV).
The family saga of Jacob continues, both the good and the bad. Yet, through it all, the hand of God and His faithfulness to the covenant promises are revealed.
This week follows more of Jacob, now that he left Laban and, returning home, had to face Esau, the victim of Jacob’s treachery. What would his brother, so grievously wronged, now do to him?
Fortunately for Jacob, amid the fear of what was coming, the Lord God of his fathers appeared again to him in an incident that was a precursor to what would later become known as the “time of Jacob’s trouble” (see Jeremiah 30:5-7). And that night Jacob, the supplanter, became “Israel,” a new name for a new beginning, a beginning that would ultimately lead to the creation of a nation itself named after him.
In other words, despite all that happens, the story of the patriarchs and their family is told in Scripture in order to show us that God is faithful to fulfill what He has promised and that He will do so despite what, at times, seems to be nothing but His people doing all that they can to stop that fulfillment.
Study this week’s lesson to prepare for Sabbath, June 4.
Amen!

May 2022 President’s Video: “Ambassadors for Jesus”
This past weekend, I had the privilege of spending time with our Adventist World Radio Ambassadors in Loma Linda, California. These dedicated men and women travel to churches across the United States sharing stories of the incredible things God is doing through Adventist World Radio right now. Our Ambassadors told us that one story that has really gotten people excited is that of Lily, our “secret weapon” working on the other side of the world. Her conversion story is a dramatic one, and I wanted to ensure you were able to watch it, because it showcases the creative ways in which God reaches people where they are. Watch this video and see how no one is unreachable with the Gospel. Lily is now working to bring even more people to Christ, so please continue to pray for her (and Adventist World Radio’s) ongoing outreach! Yours in the Blessed Hope, Duane McKey
