Singing with Inspiration – Lesson 6: Adam and Jesus
Our memory text brings us our first hymns when is says, “we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ”:
Hymn 466, “Wonderful Peace” and
Hymn 463, “Peace, Perfect Peace”. The memory text goes on to remind us of the General Conference theme song
Hymn 214, “We Have This Hope”.
The introduction to this week tells us of Jesus blood being the foundation for all our hope:
Hymn 294, “Power in the Blood”, and
Hymn 184 , “Jesus Paid It All”.
With our lesson studies having faith as a recurring theme, the hymns we have used frequently so far this quarter come back to us again this week:
Hymn 517, “My Faith Looks up to Thee”,
Hymn 523, “My Faith Has Found a Resting Place”, and
Hymn 533, “O for a Faith”.
Monday raises:
Hymn 295, “Chief of Sinners” and
Hymn 521, “Depth of Mercy”.
We may have Death Through Sin (Tuesday’s topic) but
Hymn 526, “Because He Lives” I can face tomorrow.
If you have the old church hymnal (pre-1985) you will thoroughly enjoy singing:
Hymn 498, “Yield Not To Temptation” which is part of the focus in Thursday’s study.
The 31st October, 2017 being 500 years since Martin Luther posted his Ninety-Five Theses on the door of the Castle of Church of Wittenberg in Germany, I can’t help but put in the hymn that he wrote,
Hymn 506, “A Mighty Fortress”
May God be your Mighty Fortress for the coming week.
“Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ”. – Romans 1:7

Dear Corinne,
after getting frustrated as a Sabbath School leader that the hymns I chose were 'not known' to the musicians (but I knew that they did, they had just forgotten or were using the first line of the chorus) This year I started sending your selection so that they could chose for themselves which of the themed hymns they were happy with. That has worked out really well - for me (no pressure), the musicians, the song leader, (no longer the 'meat in the sandwich' the pew bulletin printer who appreciates me now able to send the program early in the week for printing.
Thank you for the effort that has gone into your selections, for giving your reasons for the selection and most of all - having them ready early in the week.
Godbless you and today Mrs A Stolz
Dear Mrs Stolz
I am so happy that God has provided something special and easy for you. I have a smile on my face and a great giggle in my heart as I was feeling exactly the same as you, when I asked ssnet.org if they had anyone doing this for their website.
That is how I got the job. (Big smile).
I am sure the computer system man I send the details to, is happy to keep putting the hymns and explanations up early in the week so we are all able to have our music ready for the bulletin printers.
Blessings to you
Corinne
