  Episode 2902 - Lesson 2 - Sunday Oct 04 - Abraham, Defender of the Covenant

  Oct 3, 202612 minS8

  Abraham, Defender of the Covenant From Genesis to Revelation, God has had a faithful remnant who have accepted the call to obedience in response to His grace (see Jer. 31:7, 31-34 ) . For example, years after the dispersion from Babel, God chose Abram (later Abraham) to be an example of covenant faith, not just to his family but for all future generations. Surrounded by apostasy and moral ambivalence, Abram proved faithful to God's call. (See Gen. 12:1-9 .) God communicated the terms of the covenant to Abraham and showed him how humanity's salvation would be accomplished through the sacrifice of Christ ( Gen. 15:6-17 ) . To test Abraham's faith and to illustrate the future sacrifice of God's Son, Abraham was called upon to offer Isaac, his son, as a sacrifice to God ( Gen. 22:1-17 ) . What an excruciating test for the father of the faithful. Think of all the reasons Abraham could have used to disregard God's explicit command, yet he faithfully obeyed. God stayed the hand of Abraham from killing Isaac and provided a ram in his stead. Not all prophets were called by God to warn of impending doom. All were called, however, to restore the people to faithfulness, and often to warn against apostasy, against oppression of those who were poor and needy, and against violation of the covenant and its stipulations. Most important of all, however, the prophets were to reveal the promise of salvation found in the Messiah. The enduring testimony of the biblical prophets and of His Spirit in our post-apostolic era calls us to recognize and to warn others of the impending crisis that will come upon the world. Yet central to that warning is the good news of redemption for Jesus' faithful people, those who have remained in covenantal relationship with Him ( Rev. 12:17 ). Read Genesis 15:6 , Galatians 3:6-9 , and Hebrews 11:8 . What about Abraham's life and character qualified him for God's service, even though he was, clearly, a flawed man? There are many parallels between Abraham's day and ours. As paganism and idolatry ran rampant in Abraham's day, so today many of the world's competing ideologies aim to eliminate or marginalize Christianity. In contrast with much of the prevailing culture, God's people today are called to reflect His image faithfully in their daily interactions with others, including their proclamation of the three angels' messages ( Rev. 14:6-12 ). Scripture says that Abram "believed in the Lord; and he counted it to him for righteousness" ( Gen. 15:6 ) . How do you see the promise of the gospel powerfully revealed in this text? What hope can you take from this for yourself?

  Episode 2901 - Lesson 2 - Sabbath Oct 03 - The Call of a Prophet

  Oct 2, 20267 minS8

  Sabbath Afternoon Read for This Week’s Study: Gen. 15:6, Gal. 3:6-9, 1 Kings 18:19-39, Isaiah 53, Dan. 2:46-48, Mark 1:2-5, Matt. 11:1-6 Memory Text: "Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: 'Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?' Then I said, 'Here am I! Send me'" (Isaiah 6:8, NKJV) . In biblical times, prophets often played key roles in the history of God's people. Sometimes they were center stage, taking powerful, if not crucial, positions in the life of the community. However, being a prophet was a difficult calling. Their lives were often not easy, but filled with sorrow, rejection, misunderstanding, and frustration. Often God's prophets did not readily accept their call to the prophetic office. And no wonder. Many prophets were strongly opposed by those who should have welcomed their messages. God's prophets were ignored, ridiculed, beaten, or jailed. Others were stoned or hunted like wild animals. Several were martyred. Today in a generation flooded with violence, greed, immorality, exploitation, and all manner of satanic influences, the prophetic voice is often rejected or simply ignored. We are called to heed the voice of God's prophets and to be messengers of the hope given to us through the prophets. Last week we learned that, after the Fall in Eden, God worked to reestablish communication with human beings. This week we will examine some monumental times in history when God called prophets to realign His people with His messages for a fallen world. *Study this week's lesson to prepare for Sabbath, October 10.

  Episode #2900

  Episode 2900 - Lesson 1 - Friday October 02 - Ellen G. White

  Oct 1, 20269 minS8

  Ellen G. White God's communication is not limited to biblical times. As we will see in coming weeks, God speaks to human beings in perpetuity, and His words will be manifested in modern ways until Christ returns. Ellen Gould Harmon White and her twin sister Elizabeth were born on November 26, 1827, in Gorham, Maine. They were the youngest of eight children born to Robert and Eunice Harmon. In a few years, the family moved to the city of Portland, Maine, where Robert Harmon hoped to expand his hat-making business. At age 9, Ellen suffered an injury that affected her physically, emotionally, and socially. While she was in a park near her home, an angry classmate threw a stone that struck her in the face, leaving Ellen in a semi-conscious state for several weeks. This accident abruptly ended her formal education and left her with lifelong health challenges. The facial injuries also left Ellen self-conscious about her appearance, limiting her social interactions. It is in this context of uncertainty that the young Ellen Harmon began to think about her spiritual destiny. She was afraid of God and felt unworthy of heaven. Such fearful feelings intensified when the Harmon family accepted the Millerite doctrine of the soon second coming of Jesus. Even after her baptism by immersion into the Methodist Church in 1842, Ellen did not feel worthy of God's love. She believed she was "forever lost" ( Life Sketches of Ellen G. White , p. 29 ; also see pp. 20-31). Amid these agonizing thoughts, young Ellen had two dreams that began to change her mind about God. But it was not until she met Levi Stockman, a Methodist preacher, that she understood and felt God's love and grace. It was as if God spoke to her in her despair. "Faith now took possession of my heart," she wrote later. "I felt an inexpressible love for God and had the witness of His Spirit that my sins were pardoned. My views of the Father were changed. I now looked upon Him as a kind and tender parent, rather than a stern tyrant compelling men to a blind obedience. My heart went out toward Him in a deep and fervent love."— Life Sketches of Ellen G. White , p. 39 . At the same time, Ellen White also understood the doctrine of the "state of the dead" and gradually grasped the idea that there was no forever-burning hell. Her new understanding of God and His love completely changed her attitude. As we will learn each Friday in the weeks to come, Ellen White fell deeply in love with Jesus and served Him for the rest of her life. To discover more, visit https://whiteestate.org/absg/1 .

  Episode #2899

  Episode 2899 - Lesson 1 - Thursday October 01 - God's Spokespeople️️

  Sep 30, 20269 minS8

  God's Spokespeople️️ What do the following texts reveal about how God has spoken to humanity after the entrance of sin? (Read Heb. 1:1-2 ; Rom. 1:19-20 ; Num. 12:6 ; 2 Tim. 3:16-17 ; John 14:7-9 ; John 10:27-30 .) In spite of sin, God found many ways to communicate with fallen human beings. One way God reveals Himself to us is through creation. Nature is a powerful revelation of His wonderful acts. Scientists are amazed by the wonders of our universe and at the complexity of even the "simplest" life. Yet nature also displays the consequences of the Fall, with the death of every living thing the most powerful example. Another way in which God has spoken to humanity is through the prophets—individuals whom He has chosen as His spokespersons. For example, God spoke to Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Daniel, revealing His will for His people. At their core, God's prophetic messages are a reminder that He has not forgotten His children and is still with them. And though some of the prophets wrote what has come to us as Scripture, others never wrote any books of the Bible. However, many of the prophets' words were communicated through Scripture ( 2 Tim. 3:16-17 ) . The Bible is a revelation of God Himself. It is through His words that we learn who He is, see His relentless love, and discover His guidance for how we are to live. Moreover, it is through the Bible that we understand who we are, where we came from, and where we are going. There we find God's purpose for our lives. But the most effective way in which God has spoken to us is through Jesus Christ, who, of course, is revealed to us in the Bible. As God sought Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, so Christ came to "seek and to save that which was lost" ( Luke 19:10 ) . " 'He who has seen Me has seen the Father,' " Jesus declared (John 14:9, NKJV) . Through His life, death, and resurrection, Christ fulfilled the promise given to Adam and Eve in Eden. He came and died in our place so that we may have eternal life through Him. After Jesus' ascension to heaven, the Holy Spirit has continued to guide us " 'into all the truth' " and to speak to us of " 'what is yet to come' " (John 16:13, NIV) . How much comfort do you get from knowing that Jesus, His love, His character, and His self-sacrifice, reveal to us what God the Father is really like?

  Episode 2898 - Lesson 1 - Wednesday Sep. 30 - Expelled from the Garden

  Sep 29, 202617 minS8

  Expelled From the Garden One of the most devastating consequences of Adam's and Eve's sin was separation from God. They were expelled from the Garden and could no longer speak with God face-to-face. The prophet Isaiah memorably wrote about this challenging human condition: "Your iniquities have separated you from your God; and your sins have hidden His face from you" (Isa. 59:2, NKJV) . In truth, Adam and Eve were still God's children. However, the result of sin could not be avoided, and they had to leave Eden. Nothing was to be the same after their disobedience. Sin has changed humanity in many ways (see Gen. 3:14-24 ) . But how has sin specifically changed our communication with God? (See also Exod. 19:16-22 .) Sin entirely changed human life in ways we cannot imagine, and that is because all we know is a world of sin. Because of sin, the land was "cursed" and was to produce "thorns and thistles." Humans would now experience pain, and they would have to "sweat" in order to provide food for themselves, only finally to die and return to the ground. Of all the reminders of sin, death remains the most powerful. At the same time, too, because of sin we lost our face-to-face communication with God. However, Adam and Eve were promised a solution to counteract the ravages of sin. Although our first parents were not to see and talk to God directly, they left Eden with hope for the present and future. God took the initiative and explained to them His rescue plan. Genesis 3:15 , what has been called "the first gospel promise," was filled with hope for them (and us), despite what had happened. The promise of a coming Redeemer would provide present enmity against sin and hope for the future salvation of humanity. In fact, God's provision of clothing for Adam and Eve before they left the Garden was a symbolic act depicting their future redemption. Through the future death and resurrection of Jesus, communion with God was to be restored ( John 14:1-3 ) . That is, right there in Eden, right after the entrance of sin, humanity was given the hope and promise that the sin problem ultimately would be solved. As soon as there was sin, there was the promise of a Savior. How have you felt after doing something that was not right? Guilt? Shame? Self-loathing? What were the consequences? How did your faith in God, and the promise of the gospel, keep you from giving up on faith entirely?
