The Head of the Body Always Feels the Pain First

Sabbath School Net Posted on November 6, 2018 by William EarnhardtNovember 23, 2018avatar

…Christ is the head of the church. He is the Savior of his body, the church. Ephesians 5:23 NLT  When you pray and tell Jesus about the trials of your day, do you ever stop and ask Jesus how His day was? Remember, while you may have seen one person being abused, Jesus saw every … Continue reading –>

Are Adventists Old-Covenant Christians? (part 2)

Sabbath School Net Posted on June 1, 2017 by Marcos David TorresSeptember 2, 2017avatar
Covenant with the Lord

As mentioned in the last post, Adventism’s understanding of the covenants is not well known either to us, our inquirers or our critics. Some critics even go as far as to suggest that Adventism’s covenant progression is an unheard-of new heresy. Part of the difficulty in responding to these charges is that, while Adventists have historically written … Continue reading –>

The Radical Politics of Our First GC President, John Byington

Sabbath School Net Posted on April 15, 2015 by Brian StrayerSeptember 7, 2018avatar
John Byington photo

Probably the image most Adventists have of Elder John Byington is based on the only photograph they’ve ever seen which portrays the aged patriarch as a silver-haired, balding, bearded, wrinkled, scowling preacher in a black frockcoat and white shirt buttoned tightly around the neck. Consequently, they might be surprised to learn that he was a … Continue reading –>

Is Uniformity of Belief Necessary for Unity?

Sabbath School Net Posted on August 20, 2014 by Inge AndersonJuly 2, 2017avatar

So is there a difference between uniformity and unity? In “uniformity,” you will find the word “uniform.” And that serves as a good illustration. When I taught in a Christian school with school uniforms, all the students look equally good. But do you believe their uniforms make them equally good in heart and character? In … Continue reading –>

How the Church Failed Mo

Sabbath School Net Posted on August 18, 2014 by Marcos David TorresSeptember 27, 2014avatar

Mo is a pretty cool dude. I don’t say super cool because, after all, he is my brother and so pretty cool will have to do. (I’m sure such a “theorem” would be reciprocated by a hearty “my sentiments exactly” on his part.) Anyhow, the point is he’s pretty cool. Now Candice, my special lady, … Continue reading –>

The First Advent Is Good News

Sabbath School Net Posted on December 19, 2013 by William EarnhardtDecember 25, 2013avatar

During this time of year much of the world turns its attention to the Bible account of the first Advent of Christ. You can read about it in Matthew 1-2 and Luke 1-2. Just as the angels of heaven brought “good news” to the shepherds, this is a good time for us to share the good news … Continue reading –>

Wednesday: The Church as the Sanctuary

Sabbath School Net Posted on October 8, 2013 by Sabbath School LessonMarch 3, 2016avatar

After Christ’s ascension to heaven and His inauguration as High Priest in the sanctuary there, the temple on earth no longer had any real purpose in the plan of salvation (see Matt. 27:50-51). However, God still seeks to dwell among His people on earth, which was now possible through the Holy Spirit. The apostles use … Continue reading –>

Servanthood: Our Christian Calling

Sabbath School Net Posted on October 3, 2012 by Claude LombartApril 29, 2015avatar
Christ Washing Feet

We love titles, even in Christian circles. Whether it is Pastor, President, Professor, or Pope, titles are common currency in the church’s vocabulary. Inherent within some of those titles is the concept of hierarchy, authority and very often, privilege. The obvious or unseen but well-known underbelly of titles is church politics. A classic example of … Continue reading –>

Role of the Church

Sabbath School Net Posted on May 13, 2012 by Maurice AshtonMay 27, 2015avatar

Sometimes in our efforts to express the importance of conversion, or “being saved” we underestimate the role of the church. While we all understand that being joined to the church does not save us, it is or should be instrumental in us maintaining the saving relationship with Jesus. We are social creatures and we need … Continue reading –>

Creeds and Fundamental Beliefs

Sabbath School Net Posted on March 29, 2012 by Sean PitmanApril 26, 2017avatar

There are many people who think that the “Fundamental Beliefs” of the Seventh-day Adventist Church have turned into a kind of creed or unchangeable set of doctrinal beliefs or Biblical interpretations that supersede the Bible itself in importance and authority.  It has therefore been suggested that the Adventist Church is in danger of falling into … Continue reading –>
