I truly had a great experience at this years AdAgrA. Being a sponser is literally a dream come true. I’m looking forward to serving in an even greater capacity to the Adventist Country Living community.
I love the Sabbath because it's a reminder that God personally wants to connect with me!
I love the Sabbath because it actually teaches us the gospel. God gave us the Sabbath as a sign that He is our Creator (Ex 20:8-11), He is our Redeemer (Deut 5: 12-15), He is our Sanctifier (Eze 20:12), He promises us eternal life with Him (Eze 20:20).
We started in the book of Hebrews and read chapters 1 and 2. Chapters 1 really sets Jesus up as full 100% divine, just as God. Then chapter 2 brings him close to humanity and lets us know He can relate with us.
Unlike the politicians in our country who have no idea what it's like to live paycheck to paycheck. Jesus actually understands the struggles of what it's like to go through humanity and can offer real help in times of need.
Tonights study was a great reminder that we have a fully divine, human high priest advocating on my behalf in heaven!
Some reasons I love the Sabbath are that it gives me a full day to step away from life’s busyness and focus on worshiping God the Father and His Son. It reminds me that He is my Creator—the One who sanctifies me and provides everything I need, now and for eternity.
I look forward to the Sabbath every week, it’s my favorite time. A day for rest where all time can be devoted to God and loving Him and appreciating all of His wonderful work and serving Him in every way possible.
Growing up, the Sabbath used to be a hinderance in my life. I felt like I could not do other activities other kids were able to do.
Now that I am an adult, the Sabbath has become my weekly holiday that I get to spend with God. Instead of being a hinderance, the Sabbath protects my time with the most important person in the universe.
The Sabbath is my ultimate reminder that I am not in control and that's okay!
