What September 11 Teaches Us About Being Ready

Today marks the 25th anniversary of the terrorist attacks in the United States. Every September 11, we remember a morning when ordinary life was suddenly interrupted. People went to work, children went to school, and families began another ordinary day, never imagining how quickly everything could change. More than two decades later, 9/11 still reminds us of something we would rather not think about: none of us knows what tomorrow will bring.

But the Christian response to that uncertainty doesn't have to be fear. What if remembering September 11 can instead remind us to live with greater purpose, gratitude, and hope? This Sabbath, we invite you to join us as we consider what the Bible means when it calls us to “watch” and be ready for Christ's return, not with anxiety, but with quiet confidence and hope.

Ministry of Healing: The Mother

This week we return to our regular schedule with Chapter 31 of The Ministry of Healing, “The Mother.” In this chapter, Ellen G. White reflects on the sacred influence and responsibility of mothers, the importance of their health and well-being, and the lasting impact of their work in shaping the lives of their children.

And this Friday, we will also resume our original articles and regular blog content.

If you are able, we warmly invite you to join us this Sabbath for worship. We would be happy to have you with us.

Christ Object Lessons: This Man Receiveth Sinners

What does the love of Christ look like toward those who are lost, sinful, or forgotten? Through the parables of the lost sheep and lost coin, Christ reveals the immeasurable value of every soul and the joy of heaven when the lost are found.

Join us this Sabbath as we worship together and reflect on the Shepherd who searches for the lost and the Saviour who welcomes sinners with compassion and love.

Ministry of Healing: Choice and Preparation of the Home

What makes a home truly successful? This chapter explores the home as a place of simplicity, health, character, and spiritual growth, reminding us that our earthly homes can prepare us for our heavenly home.

Join us this Sabbath as we worship together and consider how our homes can become places of peace, love, and closeness to God.

Christ Object Lessons: Shall Not God Avenge His Own?

 

Christ’s parable of the persistent widow reminds us that God hears the prayers of His people, even when justice seems delayed. Though we may face oppression, trials, or accusation, we can trust His compassion and continue to pray without fainting.

Join us this Sabbath as we worship together and learn more about the God who hears the cries of His children and will ultimately bring justice.
