Just a reminder about potluck this Sabbath after third service in the fellowship hall. Since we will be sharing the space with another SS class having potluck at the same time, they have requested that we please mark our food REALife SS (or something to that effect).

The Tanners are cancelling the Superbowl party at their house. The reason is that we have learned our church is having one in the fellowship hall and we encourage everyone to attend that one. For such an event as this one, the more people the better. It will be a great time to get to know some other members of our large church family as well. See you there.

It's been said that Jesus can not be a good man or a prophet. Because He claims to be the Son of God, He is the Son of God or a lunatic. The same can be said of Ellen White and the Spirit of Prophecy. She can not be a good woman. She claims to

There is a nice picnic area with some tables right near the parking area. After lunch there are a number of choices for hiking (Bluff views or water views). No swimming is allowed. It should take about 40 minutes from the church. You may want to bring lawn chairs and you will definitely want to bring water bottles for hydration when walking. Shaloy says to remind everyone "No Swimming Allowed"

For Sabbath on June 14, we will be discussing the power of His resurrection. Read Matthew 28 (shorter version) and/or Luke 24 (longer version).How was the power of Jesus's resurrection experienced in the lives of the disciples? How can it be experienced in your life?

Instead, Scripture records in this week's memory verse that He used

The Intensity of His Walk"Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did" (1 John 2:6, NIV)Jesus' power to overcome came from His closeness with the Father. How did He achieve and maintain this closeness? How can we?The four Gospels give us insight into what it means to "walk as Jesus did." Luke tells us that the "grace of God was upon him" (Luke 2:40). Luke also tells us that Jesus spent

Last week's lesson focused on sayings of Jesus that leave contemporary people scratching their heads. This week's lesson probes similar issues, but in respect to His conduct.As you come across situations this week, ask yourself, what would Jesus do? On Sabbath we'll explore some things Jesus did that might prompt you to question, should I really do that?Read for this Week's Study:Matt. 4:12,

I was thinking about something today as I'm wishing I could be with you. It's 10:30 am and you're having Sabbath School. There is wireless Internet in our Sabbath School room. If someone took a laptop that had a camera, microphone and Skype, , , ,I could join in @ 4:00 pm Africa time.

The Challenge of His SayingsJesus said many things that were puzzling and contrary to popular beliefs and traditional behaviors. Even today some of the words of Jesus seem hard to follow and difficult to apply to our "normal" way of life. Some of these "difficult sayings encompass such topics as forgiving others, obtaining wealth, and achieving perfection. Two general ideas His sayings stress

Was Jesus human?? How human?? How Divine?? The Message puts it like this in John 1:14 "The Word became flesh and blood, and moved into the neighborhood. We saw the glory with our own eyes, the one-of-a-kind glory, like Father, like Son, Generous inside and out, true from start to finish." Even this text starts the question though "How much humanity?? How much Divinity??" There are quite a few

The Tanner's want to thank everyone for their participation in the cookout at our home. We have gotten lots of comments and complements, but without your presence, it would not have been a success. Most of all, thank you Lord for making this happen. Thank you Lord for the great weather, great people, great food and the opportunity to fellowship. You just don't know how much good it does us to

Dan will have the lesson study this week. You can find it electronically here. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made" John 1: 1-3 Shaloy has found the CD version of the lesson very helpful.

Who was Jesus?? During the lesson we changed the question to Who is Jesus , , , to me with each of the members giving their testimony of who Jesus is to them. What is it about your experience that makes Jesus real to you?He said he was the Son of God. If that's true then we must pay attention to His life, His words His message. If it's false, , then we are under no compulsion to do anything He

How do you see yourself when faced with the glory of Jesus?We began by investigating causes of death. You can research this by going to this CDC website We spent quite a bit of time discussing fear and reading/discussing the texts about Jesus calming the storm and walking on the water. We also read quite a few texts telling us what to do about fear (whether we should have it or not) and
