LESSON 11  *September 5–11 Sharing the Story of  Jesus Sabbath Afternoon Read for This Week’s Study :  Eph. 2:1–10 ,  1 John 4:7–11 ,  Mark 5:1–20 ,  Heb. 10:19–22 ,  Gal. 2:20 ,  1 Cor. 1:30 . Memory Text:  “These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God” ( 1 John 5:13, NKJV ). As stated in an earlier lesson, nothing argues more eloquently for the power of the gospel than a changed life. People may argue with your theology. They may debate about doctrines. They may call into question your understanding of the Scriptures, but they will rarely question your personal testimony of what Jesus means to you and has done in your life. Witnessing is sharing what we know about Jesus. It is letting others know what He means to us and what He has done for us. If our witness consists solely of trying to prove that what we believe is right and that what oth

HOW IS THE CHURCH ORGANIZED

By -
Seventh-day Adventists organize themselves through four levels, from each individual member to the global organization:  The local Church is an organized body made up of individual members; The local Association / Mission is a body organized and made up of the churches of a state, province or territory; The Union is the conformation of the associations / missions of the fields within a wider territory.  For example: South-Brazilian Union, includes the states of the South region of Brazil; The General Conference is the unit that includes the entire organization, and is made up of all the divisions around the world.  Divisions are sections of the General Conference, with assigned administrative responsibility for specific geographic areas. In the case of South America, eight countries (Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay) are part of the South American Division, based in Brasilia.  The other Central American countries (Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Frenc

Devotional for Adults December 28, 2018 Gratitude for the greatness of God "When he got up again tomorrow, the next day, Dagon had fallen prostrate on the ground before the Ark of the Lord, and Dagon's head and both his hands were cut off on the threshold; Dagon had only the trunk left "(1 Samuel 5: 4). THE ISRAELITES were face to face in battle with the enemy. They had been defeated by the Philistines and about 4000 men died. Seeing that the Philistines had won the battle, the people of Israel chose to take the ark of God to the camp. "All Israel cried with such great joy that the earth shook. When the Philistines heard the shouts of joy, they said: "What shouts of joy are these in the camp of the Hebrews?" And they knew that the ark of Jehovah had been brought into the camp "(1 Samuel 4: 5, 6). The Israelites believed that the power was in the ark to give them the victory, but the power came from obedience to the Law of God that was inside the ark. L

Devotional for Adults December 26, 2018 The power of praise and gratitude  "Rejoice Jehovah, all the earth; lift up your voice, clap your hands and sing psalms" (Psalm 98: 4). GRATITUDE and praise are expressions that flow from a heart redeemed by our Lord Jesus Christ, which flows from men and women who recognize the power of God, from those who have had a personal encounter with Christ; knowing that God has forgiven them, they can not keep silent. So they cry: "Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord, Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest!" (Luke 19: 38). Gratitude is to confess that God is exalted and perfect, great in mercy and kindness, slow to anger and great in deep love for all mankind. Who seeks with love the one who flees from him. He bends down to the bed of pain and takes in his arms the helpless and unable to do something for himself. To the one who says as David: «I will praise you, because your works are formidable and wonderful; I a

🌲Happy Holidays🌲 "But we look for, according to his promises, new heavens and new earth, in which righteousness dwells" (2 Peter 3:13).  THE RESURRECTION AND THE RESTORATION OF RELATIONS  From the earliest days of the church, the promise of Christ's return has sustained the heart of the fel people of God, perhaps more than anything else, especially during the trials.  Beyond his frightful struggles, beyond his inconsolable grief and pain, he had the hope of the return of Christ and all the wonderful promises contained in the Second Coming.  Read 1 Thessalonians 4:13 to 18. What promises are included in this passage? What do they tell us about the hope of re-establishing relationships?  1 Thessalonians 4: 13-18  13 Brothers, we do not want you to remain without knowing what happens with the dead, so that you do not grieve like the others, those who have no hope.  14 Just as we believe that Jesus died and rose agai

Devotional for Adults December 23, 2018 Thank God for the gifts he has given us "Praise the Lord! Every day the God of our salvation fills us with benefits! "(Psalm 68:19). MANY or few of our talents, we have much to thank the Lord for. We can thank for the gift of singing, of teaching, for the gift of speaking, writing, drawing or painting. Those of us who have known the gospel, for the gift of sharing it with others. Say: "Forever is his mercy." Above all, we have the gift of God's grace that saves us. This is the most wonderful gift God has given us. Paul said: "By grace you are saved through faith; and this not of yourselves, it is the gift of God "(Ephesians 2: 8). A young man had a very handsome, intelligent father with an extraordinary capacity for communication. He was always surrounded by people waiting for his wise and wise words. But he had a problem that nullified all his abilities: he was an alcoholic. Alcohol made him irresponsible with h

Devotional for Adults December 20, 2018 Jesus confirms Peter's faith and loyalty «After eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter:" Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me more than these? " He replied: "Yes, Lord; you know I love you". He said to him, "Feed my lambs" (John 21:15). PEDRO DENIED CHRIST three times in the courtroom. He denied that he belonged to Christ and even cursed, even when he had sworn to go with Jesus to prison and death. However, Jesus looked at him with tenderness and compassion. It was then that the disciple felt that his heart was pierced by an arrow and ran out of the room. He ran in solitude and darkness, until he saw himself in the Garden of Gethsemane, right where Christ had cried and agonized in prayer. There, he wished to die for the betrayal he had committed. But he did not take his life like Judas, who also ran out of the room to hang himself and not see the crucifixion of Jesus. Peter was about to be dismissed as one of the apost
