Welcome To Adult Sabbath School Online!

Hello, Brothers and Sisters in Christ Jesus!

Welcome to this new Sabbath school blog. By the grace of God, this blog will enhance daily communion with Jesus and fellow believers. Hopefully, those who use this site will be encouraged to daily partake of the Bread of Life and faithfully complete the daily lessons taught in Sabbath School Quarterlies. By the grace of God, I plan to complete my lesson daily and post my comments to the lesson day by day. I encourage all to do the same. The result should be a very special place that the world can use as a reference of not only what Seventh Day Adventist Believe, but also what they live.

One of the main reasons that I was led to create this site is because I have searched the Internet for a forum that would enable me to participate in a day by day lesson study that adheres to the current Sabbath school lesson: I was unable to find such a place. So, by the grace of God this will be the place where people can go to:

-Post comments on daily lessons
-Email interesting comments to others
-Provide insightful perspectives
-Encourage each other

I would like to emphasize that it is my intent to closely follow the lesson day by day so that we are all studying the “same” scriptures and readings. By using this approach, more engaging discussions will develop. Please pray for me and those that visit this site as we embark on a journey that ends in everlasting life.

More Lessons in Discipleship

Read for This Week's Study:


Matt. 14:22-33; Mark 4:36-41; 6:51, 52; Luke 8:25; 24:37; John 6:19.

Memory Text:


"But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid" (Matthew 14:27).

Jesus selected His disciples so that they could be with Him and could learn from Him. Apparently, they were not as sharp and quick-witted as one would expect. How much different are we? Some of us have been walking with God for several years, and we still do not understand fully what the demands of discipleship are. As in the natural world, so it is in the spiritual. Growth is essential for life. Every day should bring some growth in depth, width, or height. What preparation of soil and nutrients are you making to assure growth and success in discipleship?

As I continue to grow in Christ, I understand that I can trust Him more. He always comes through for me! I know that I do not deserve the gracious mercy that He provides for me, but I must learn to accept and trust His love for me. As I except His love, it will "cast out all fear." (Alastair)

This week's lesson will look at more examples from the Word of God that can help us understand what it means to be a disciple of Christ.

This Week at a Glance:


Why were the disciples of Christ often full of fear? What can we learn from Jesus' warnings about the leaven of the Pharisees? How do we respond to those who purposely close their hearts to our witness?

*Study this week's lesson to prepare for Sabbath, March 15.

Greetings,

I followed your links from your posting on the GC website regarding a space for adventist youth. You mentioned that you were creating one.

Are you open to integrating other scripture based projects into your site?

Your blog is inspiring. Continue the good work. :)
