09: Discipling the Powerful – Hit the Mark

Sabbath School Net Posted on February 27, 2014 by Curtis HallMarch 1, 2014avatar

Thursday: The Early Explosion

Sabbath School Net Posted on February 26, 2014 by Sabbath School LessonOctober 8, 2014avatar

Christ’s earliest disciples energetically advanced the gospel throughout the civilized world. Houses, synagogues, public stadiums, judgment halls, and royal palaces became stages for kingdom proclamation. Jesus, however, prophesied arrests, trials, and hostile royal audiences for those disciples (Matt. 10:16-20). Unfortunately, those saturated with earthly power were slowest to receive Christ. Read through as much of … Continue reading –>

Read Matthew 26:57-68; 27:11-14; Luke 23:1-12; John 18:19-23, 31-40; 19:8-12. What can we learn from Jesus’ witness to these powerful men?

From arrest until crucifixion, Christ bears witness before the most powerful in the land: monarchs, governors, priests. … Continue reading –>

Tuesday: The Centurion

Sabbath School Net Posted on February 24, 2014 by SSNET StaffMarch 13, 2014avatar

While several of Christ’s encounters with powerful people ended acrimoniously, there were notable exceptions, such as with Nicodemus. Another constructive meeting involved a Roman centurion (ranking military officer).   Read Matthew 8:5-13 and Luke 7:1-10. What can we learn from these accounts about witnessing to people in power? When the centurion learned that Jesus was … Continue reading –>

Monday: “Have You Not Read . . .?”

Sabbath School Net Posted on February 23, 2014 by SSNET StaffMarch 13, 2014avatar
Old Scroll

Unfortunately, some of the most powerful and influential people with whom Jesus dealt were the religious leaders of His time, many of whom were openly hostile to Him. Yet, even in His encounters with them, Jesus always sought to be redemptive. He wasn’t seeking arguments; He was seeking the salvation of all people, even of … Continue reading –>

Sabbath School Net Posted on February 21, 2014 by Jennifer SchwirzerMarch 9, 2014avatar
http://www.goodsalt.com/details/lwjas0525.html?r=ssnet

They call me Simon the Pharisee. “Simon” means “hearing.” In accordance with my name, I heard the call of Jesus and became a disciple after He healed me of leprosy.
