Inside Story: A Genuine Sacrifice? ~ Part 4

Sabbath School Net Posted on August 10, 2023 by Sabbath School LessonJuly 29, 2023avatar
Safe in Jesus: Part 2 By Andrew McChesney One afternoon, 16-year-old Almira decided to take a nap after returning home from school, exhausted from months of fitful nights. She lay down on a couch, her face to the open door of the room. She was at home alone. Suddenly, she sensed the presence in the room. Looking toward the door, she saw the presence for the first time. He looked like a gray cloud, completely obscuring the doorway. Almira didn’t know why, but she understood that something terrible would happen if she even blinked. She stared at the doorway for what seemed like an eternity. Finally, she had to blink. In that split second, the gray cloud darted to her. Almira felt like she was entombed in a giant stone, helpless and unable to move. She struggled to breathe. She pleaded with good forces for help. There was no response. At that moment, she remembered a prayer that she had memorized. It was a non-Christian prayer associated her ancestors’ traditional religion. She recited it. For a moment, she was free and could breathe. But then the presence captured her again. She repeated the prayer again and again. She was released and recaptured, released and recaptured. Growing weary of the struggle, she frantically wondered what she could do to save herself. Abruptly, she remembered that one of the Russian teachers at the supernatural courses had mentioned Jesus Christ was more powerful than all good and evil forces. The thought flashed into her mind to call upon Jesus. She opened her mouth to speak. She only managed to utter the first syllable of Jesus’ name, and the gray cloud fled. She felt like Jesus had entered the room and thrown the evil captor off her. Almira had no doubt that she needed Jesus. But how? She was not a Christian. So, she went to her ancestors’ traditional place of worship for two months. She began to sleep better, so she decided that Jesus must also visit that place of worship. Then her older sister, Faniya, came home with two friends whom Almira had never seen before. She learned that day that Faniya had started going to a Seventh-day Adventist church located on the same street as their apartment building. The two friends were members of the Adventist Church. Almira related her story to the Adventist girls. “That is Satan,” one girl said. The other girl said Almira had entered Satan’s territory by taking the classes on the supernatural. “But Jesus is on your side,” she said. “Only He can free you from Satan’s power.” Read more about Almira next week. Thank you for your mission offerings that help spread the gospel in Russia and around the world.

A Genuine Sacrifice? Part 4 By Andrew McChesney About a year passed. Almira prayed and read the Bible every night to keep the evil spirit at bay. She attended church every Sabbath, enduring painful criticism and even threats from parents, relatives, and neighbors. But the rest of her life remained unchanged. She went to school … Continue reading –>

Friday: Further Thought ~ The Unified Body of Christ

Sabbath School Net Posted on August 10, 2023 by Sabbath School LessonJuly 26, 2023avatar
Spectacles on Bible

Further Thought:  Two notes help to expand our study of Ephesians 4:7-10: 1. Translating Ephesians 4:9. Some translations indicate that the descent occurs before the ascent (e.g., NKJV, “He also first descended”; KJV, RSV, ESV, NASB). Other translations follow the Greek text more closely, leaving the issue of the timing of the ascent and descent open (e.g., NIV, “What does ‘he … Continue reading –>

Thursday: Growing Up Into Christ

Sabbath School Net Posted on August 9, 2023 by Sabbath School LessonJuly 26, 2023avatar
Jesus as Baby, Child and Adult

What danger threatens the Christlike maturity of the church? Ephesians 4:14. Paul perceives an environment not unlike our own in which various ideas, such as “every wind of doctrine” and “deceitful schemes” (ESV), are thrust upon believers. He uses three sets of images to describe the dangers of wayward theology: (1) the immaturity of childhood, “so that … Continue reading –>

Wednesday: Gifts of the Exalted Jesus

Sabbath School Net Posted on August 8, 2023 by Sabbath School LessonJuly 26, 2023avatar
The Gift

Drawing on Psalm 68:18, Paul has just described the risen, exalted, conquering Jesus as giving gifts to His people from on high. What “gifts” does the exalted Jesus give, and for what purpose? Ephesians 4:11-13. Paul identifies four groups of “gifted” people as part of the treasure trove of the exalted Jesus that He gives to His church: … Continue reading –>

Tuesday: The Exalted Christ, Giver of Gifts

Sabbath School Net Posted on August 7, 2023 by Sabbath School LessonJuly 26, 2023avatar
Jesus Giving Bread

“However, he has given each one of us a special gift through the generosity of Christ. That is why the Scriptures say,     ‘When he ascended to the heights,     he led a crowd of captives     and gave gifts to his people.’” “Notice that it says ‘he ascended.’ This clearly means that Christ also descended to our lowly … Continue reading –>

Monday: Together as One in the One

Sabbath School Net Posted on August 6, 2023 by Sabbath School LessonJuly 26, 2023avatar
Together in Heaven

What seven “ones” does Paul cite in support of his theme of the unity of the church? What point is he seeking to make with this list? (Ephesians 4:4-6). Paul’s list of seven “ones” has a poetic feel to it and may echo a hymn of affirmation used in Ephesus. The list begins by mentioning two “ones” … Continue reading –>

Sunday: The Unity of the Spirit

Sabbath School Net Posted on August 5, 2023 by Sabbath School LessonJuly 26, 2023avatar
five interracial hands interlock, the fire of the Holy Spirit giving them power.

Read Ephesians 4:1-16. How does Paul encourage believers to nurture the unity of the church? Paul begins the second half of Ephesians (chapters 4-6) with a stirring call to unity, but in two major parts. First, in Ephesians 4:1-6 he asks believers to nurture “the unity of the Spirit” by exhibiting unity-building virtues (Ephesians 4:1-3), a call he supports … Continue reading –>

Fighting With Scripture: Part 3 By Andrew McChesney That night, Almira woke up after having another nightmare, and she resolved to go to the Seventh-day Adventist church the next Sabbath.
