Sabbath School Podcast

The Judeans forgot that they belonged to the Lord and thus lost their true identity as the covenant people. This week we'll take a look at God’s work to restore His people to Himself.

View Details

What good does it do if a person were to gain all the knowledge in the world yet lose eternal life?

View Details

Sabbath is not just a day of rest. It is an opportunity for education and personal development.

View Details

We are invited to view work as one of God’s blessings.

View Details

We need God’s Word to inform the teaching of every discipline, from humanities to molecular biology.

View Details

If the church is to be a place of education, it must provide the space for genuine dialogue to occur.

View Details

God's grace. We cannot earn it, but we can learn it.

View Details

Christian education must deal with the question of worship.

View Details

In sending His Son to this planet, the Father sent the Master Teacher on a mission: to show humankind His face.

View Details

Whatever our differences, one thing unites us: our general sinfulness. This week we’ll look at our only solution: our Master Teacher.

View Details

It’s so crucial that we teach our young people, and even older church members, the biblical worldview.

View Details

The law is not only negative in function. It also points us to the way of life, which is found only in Jesus.

View Details

For most of human history, education took place mostly in the home, especially for the early years.

View Details

The Lord was founder, principal and teacher of the first school here on Earth. But as we know, Adam and Eve ultimately chose another teacher and learned the wrong lessons.

View Details

At times our Lord calls us to make sacrifices, but the joys He offers are far greater.

View Details

The book of Revelation is an urgent and important message for this generation.

View Details

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.

View Details

There is strength in numbers. We do better if we have a social support system. This is especially true in spiritual matters.

View Details

Jesus never exhibited a tinge of pride or superiority. No one was beyond His love.

View Details

When we share the Word of God, our primary goal is not to prove that we are right and that the other person is wrong; it is to reveal Jesus in each facet of the truth we share.

View Details

Witnessing is not a special spiritual gift that only a select few possess. Witnessing is the divine calling of each Christian.

View Details

It is the the Holy Spirit who makes our witness effective.

View Details

God works in our own hearts to draw us closer to Him and gives us divine wisdom to reach others for His kingdom.

View Details

By watching the way Jesus worked with people, we learn how to lead others to a knowledge of salvation through Jesus Christ.

View Details

It is one thing to share what Jesus has done for someone else. It is quite another to share what He has done for us, personally.

View Details

When we understand who Jesus is and have experienced the marvels of His grace and the power of His love, we cannot be silent.

View Details

Jesus recognised that the world needed a demonstration of the gospel as much as it needed its proclamation.

View Details

The first chapters of Genesis are foundational for the rest of Scripture.

View Details

A look at five different influential sources that impact our interpretation of Scripture.

View Details

How did Jesus and the apostles relate to the people, places and events described in Scripture? What were their assumptions and subsequent methods of interpretation?

View Details

The way we see and understand the origin and nature of Scripture greatly impacts the role that the Bible plays in our lives and in the church at large.

View Details

There is no other book, sacred or religious, like the Bible.

View Details

To read the Bible also means to interpret the Bible. But how do we do that? What principles do we use?

View Details

What a privilege and a blessing it is to be able to read the Word of God.

View Details

Science has increasingly distanced itself from its biblical foundation, resulting in a radical reinterpretation of the Genesis story.

View Details

The historical nature of Scripture is one characteristic that distinguishes it from the sacred books of other religions.

View Details

How do we interpret prophecy correctly so that we know when the prophecy has, indeed, come to pass?

View Details

There are some things/texts in the Bible that are difficult to understand.

View Details

The best method of studying the Bible is of no use if we are not determined to live by what we learn from Scripture.

View Details

As Protestants, we must maintain the Bible as the ultimate doctrinal authority.

View Details

Ezra, Nehemiah and other great leaders of Israel had one thing in common: they were totally indebted to God’s Word and His instruction that they found in it

View Details

This week we will look at how Ezra and Nehemiah approached the issue of intermarriage.

View Details

Ultimately, our success in the conflict rests on Jesus Christ, who alone defeated Satan at the cross.

View Details

In crucial moments of his life, Daniel resorts to prayer in order to cope with the challenges that lie before him. In chapter 9 we find one these prayers -- arguably one of the greatest prayers of the Bible.

View Details

Whereas Daniel 7 shows the heavenly tribunal and the Son of man receiving the kingdom, Daniel 8 shows the purification of the heavenly sanctuary.

View Details

Unpacking the vision of Daniel 7.

View Details

Daniel’s experience with persecution serves as a paradigm for God’s people in the time of the end.

View Details

The book of Daniel begins with Nebuchadnezzar invading Judea and taking captives to Babylon; the book of Daniel concludes, in contrast, with Michael standing up to deliver God’s people from end-time Babylon.

View Details

At the end of the day, evil will end -- and God's eternal kingdom will be established.

View Details

The Seventh-day Adventist Church was born from within the pages of the book of Daniel, our study for this quarter.

View Details

In Daniel 5, the Word of God gives us a powerful example of human hubris that ends in a stunning and dramatic way.

View Details

Pride led to Lucifer’s fall, so now he instills pride in men, thus leading them to be against God and, so, to go down a path toward destruction.

View Details

While facing the threat of death because of the issue of worship might seem a thing of some pre-scientific and superstitious age, Scripture reveals that at the end of time, when the world has greatly “advanced”, something similar will unfold, but on a worldwide scale.

View Details

Although the rise and fall of nations, ideologies and political parties seem to happen at the discretion of human whim alone, Daniel 2 shows that it is the God of heaven who actually moves human history to its grand finale.

View Details

As we study Daniel, there is one important thing to keep in mind: the true hero of the book is God.

View Details

After some time away, Nehemiah returned to Babylon and found the people very lax in their devotion to God. How did he respond?

View Details

An exploration of how and why we worship God.

View Details

We usually skip genealogies and long lists of items in the Bible. But the Lord has them included there for a reason.

View Details

This week, we will look at the covenant that the Israelites renewed with God, in Nehemiah 10, and also discuss some general information about the history and importance of covenant making in the Bible.

View Details

The goodness of God evokes praise and feasting, while also reminding us that we need God to forgive, cleanse and re-create us.

View Details

Chapters 8-10 of Nehemiah describe an important series of events that show how the children of Israel were determined to obey the Word of God.

View Details

Rules and regulations should never become an end in and of themselves. Rather, they are a means to reflect the character of Jesus.

View Details

Resistance to the work of God is a prevalent theme in the two books of Ezra and Nehemiah.

View Details

Ezra and Nehemiah were called by God for a specific task: to rebuild what lay in ruins.

View Details

The man and his mission: An introduction to the prophet, Nehemiah.

View Details

Our best performance comes from a realisation of who God is and what He has done, and from knowing how He lovingly intervenes on behalf of His people.

View Details

As a church body, we must not ignore the suffering and evil that exists all around us. If Christ didn’t ignore it, we must not either.

View Details

Our communities, our churches and our families need to stand up against poverty, violence, oppression, slavery, exploitation, selfishness and greed—no matter how hard at times it is to do so.

View Details

By definition, Seventh-day Adventists are people of hope. But this hope is not only about a future new world. While hope looks to the future, it also transforms the present now.

View Details

Our works of mercy and compassion toward those in need should not be seen as legalistic. On the contrary, as we grow in our understanding and appreciation of salvation, the link between God’s love and His concern for the poor and oppressed will be passed on to us, recipients of His love.

View Details

A key part of the Great Commission is to teach people “to observe all things that I have commanded you” (Matthew 28:20). That includes taking care of those in need, those hurting, those who are unable to take care of themselves.

View Details

Serving others—caring for their needs and uplifting them—is one way in which we can directly offer service to God.

View Details

Among other reasons for His incarnation, Jesus came to show us what God is like. Many of His actions made immediate, real-world changes in the lives of others, including the poor and oppressed.

View Details

True worship is not just something that happens during a religious ritual; it is about living a life that shares God’s concerns for the well-being of others and that seeks to lift up those who have been downtrodden and forgotten.

View Details

Among the sins and evils that the Old Testament prophets warned people against, one of the biggest was the oppression of the poor, the needy and the helpless.

View Details

Our faith should make a difference in every aspect and experience of our lives, because God cares about every aspect of our lives.

View Details

When we truly "remember the Sabbath day", it will change us every day of the week, and—as Jesus demonstrated—it can be a means of blessing others, as well.

View Details

In His mercy, God has always had people with whom He has maintained a special relationship. As they were blessed, they could be a blessing to others.

View Details

God has set in motion His plan for redeeming and re-creating the world, and He has given us, as believers, roles to play in the fulfillment of His larger plans.

View Details

Whatever the phase, whatever the stage, whatever the condition of ourselves or our family at the moment, we can and must live in the light of God's promises, clinging to them with all our heart and soul. In the end, they are our only hope.

View Details

What have heavenly angels seen? What kind of spirit permeates our residences? Can one 'smell' the scent of prayer? Is there kindness, generosity, love, or tension, anger, resentfulness, bitterness, and discord?

View Details

The power of the gospel gives us light, comfort and strength to deal with the challenges that culture can bring.

View Details

A look at some ways to help mollify little times of trouble, especially in the family.

View Details

We all know the reality, and pain, of loss, and most of us feel it the deepest when this loss strikes us in the family.

View Details

Challenges, fears, satisfaction and joy are all part and parcel of the season of parenting.

View Details

Our sinful fallen natures can make unity in family life very challenging. As such, it is imperative that we be receivers and givers of grace on a daily basis.

View Details

A look at the wonderful gift of sexuality, as described in the Song of Solomon.

View Details

The book of Proverbs is cast as a family document in which keys to a godly life are handed down from parent to child.

View Details

People are more connected than ever before. Why, then, are so many of us suffering from loneliness?

View Details

Often, changes come unexpectedly. On the other hand, sometimes we can see them coming. How do we prepare ourselves—and our families—for change?

View Details

Some choices are simple and even become routine, while others are life-changing and have eternal consequences, not only for us but even for our own families.

View Details

A look at the seasons and rhythms of our lives, especially in regards to their impact on us and our families.

View Details

The destruction of end-time Babylon is bad news for those who collaborated with this apostate religious system. For God's people, however, it is good news.

View Details

Challenges, fears, satisfaction and joy are all part and parcel of the season of parenting.

View Details

Making sense of the key players in earth's final battle.

View Details

The world will be a very violent, angry place upon Jesus' Second Coming.

View Details

Christ's death was for all humanity. The question is who will accept that provision and who won't.

View Details

Satan will be defeated, but he won't go down without a fight.

View Details

The purpose of the seven trumpets is to assure God's people that heaven is not indifferent to their suffering.

View Details

The opening of the seven seals shows us that every person who claims to believe in Christ will receive blessings for faithfulness or curses for unfaithfulness.

View Details

By opening the seals on the scroll (as described in Revelation 6), Jesus shows that He is ready to carry forward the plan of salvation to its ultimate realisation.

View Details

John’s vision shifts from earth to heaven and focuses on the “things which must take place after this” (Revelation 4:1)—the future.

View Details

If Jesus offered hope and answered the needs of each church during the days of John, surely He can meet our needs today as well.

View Details

A look at the first of God's seven special messages for His church.

View Details

The prophecies of Revelation were revealed in vision to the apostle John more than 19 centuries ago. However, they still provide guidance for our life today and hope for our future.
