15 September 2025 | Dear Aunt Sevvy, Even though I am not a Seventh-day Adventist, I attend church with my husband because I believe a family should worship together.

Exodus points us to a wonderful conclusion with the Israelites being bound for the Promised Land, hence our theme hymn for the quarter being
We Are Bound For The Promised Land – Hymn 620.
“We are daily in God’s university, where there is no graduation but a constant learning process” says Sabbath afternoon’s introduction to this week’s lesson studies. Here we are to ask
Saviour, Teach Me – Hymn 193.
The Tent of Meeting (Sunday) teaches
O Worship The Lord – Hymn 6 and then goes on to encourage us to say 
I’ve Found A Friend – Hymn 186,
What A Friend – Hymn 499 and
Hymn 187 – Jesus, What A Friend For Sinners. We then learn that “Moses was a faithful servant of God” (Deut. 34:5, Josh 1:1), therefore, let us learn this and sing
O Brother, Be Faithful – Hymn 602.
Monday continues the growth of Moses’ friendship with God. “He drew closer and closer”:
Hymn 315 – O For A Closer Walk With God. “Moses desired to know God’s character more concretely” and just like Moses,
We Have Not Known Thee As We Ought – Hymn 291.
“Our hearts and minds can experience a change when we surrender to God and allow Him to be the Lord and King of our lives” is written for Thursday’s study time, so may
I Surrender All – Hymn 309. Then, “Christ, together with His law, can be engraved in our characters only when we fix our eyes on Jesus”:
Hymn 290 – Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus.
Friday then shows that we will be able to “Let your light so shine before men”, and we can reflect this by showing
There Is Sunshine In My Soul Today – Hymn 470. “Only shining people can be agents of change.”
Please continue to search the scriptures this week to be blessed, and to bless others.

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/Search 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.”
