A Name That Raises Big Questions

Michael the Archangel is one of the best-known figures in the Bible, and one of the most debated. Artists often show him as a winged warrior with a sword. Many people assume he is simply the top-ranking member of a large group of archangels. Yet Scripture points to something altogether different: that "Michael" is a name used for Jesus Christ in His role as the champion and leader of God's people.

This article looks at the Bible passages, the meaning of key words, and the history of Christian writers who support that view. It draws one clear line from the start: the claim is not that Christ is a created being. The claim is that Scripture sometimes uses words like "angel" and "Michael" for the Son of God to show His power and His care for His people.

Every child has unique gifts, big dreams, and a special purpose in life. In this chapter from The Ministry of Healing, Ellen White explores how true education goes beyond textbooks to help young people grow in heart, mind, and character. By guiding children with love and encouragement, parents and teachers can help them build a strong foundation for a life filled with meaning and selfless service.

In the parable of the great supper, Jesus reminds us that the gospel invitation is for everyone, regardless of their circumstances or background. God calls us to share His love with the overlooked, the discouraged, and those who have yet to know the joy of His salvation. May we open our hearts to His invitation and become faithful messengers of His grace.

We invite you to join us this Sabbath at church as we worship together, study God’s Word, and grow in the love of our Saviour.
