Sunday: The Big Picture

Sabbath School Net Posted on by avatar

When we are hurting, it is very easy to presume that what happens to us is the only thing that matters. But there is a slightly larger picture than just “me” (see Revelation 12:7, Romans 8:22). Read Habakkuk 1:1-4. What did Habakkuk face? You might expect that God would say something like, “That’s really terrible, Habakkuk; let Me come … Continue reading –>

Read the story of Jacob’s wrestling with God (Genesis 32:1-32, NIV). What does this story say to us about perseverance, even amid great discouragement?

“If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell” (Matthew 5:29-30). Dwell on the words of Jesus in the above verse. Would you call His words radical? If so, … Continue reading –>

We are increasingly living in a culture bombarded with pictures and music that can appeal directly to our senses, triggering our emotions — anger, fear, or lust — without our realizing it. How often do we think such things as “What do I … Continue reading –>
