Seventh Day Adventist Church Calendar for 2022 (Details)

by | Nov 27, 2021 | world Church

The Seventh Day Adventist Church is an organized denomination that runs almost the same program worldwide. They may live and worship in far-flung places, but the 19.1 million Seventh-day Adventists worldwide are not only a faith community—they’re a family.

But finding a sense of togetherness can be difficult. One way Adventists can promote community across time zones is by celebrating special emphasis days and events together. The Adventist Church’s calendar of Special Emphasis Days and Events not only encourages unity, it also helps raise awareness of key issues, such as abuse prevention, family and religious freedom.

Adventist Church leadership invites you and your church to join your global family in celebrating these emphasis days and events.

Sabbath School Daily Summary – November 22nd

4th Quarter: Present Truth in Deuteronomy.
Lesson 9: Turn Their Hearts
Monday: Seek Me and Find Me

Text: [[Deu 4:29]] KJV
But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.

Message
One of the most complex concepts about God is His Omniscience. God knows everything – from the past into the future. He knows all that will happen the next moment. He knew that Peter would betray him, when Peter himself didn’t know. This explains the foreknowledge of God – His ability to know to the tiniest detail what each of us will do in this life and how it’ll end us. He knows exactly what choices we’ll make in every situation. Yes, finally, He knows all who will go to heaven and hell. Honestly, this is scary. Is God not manipulating men to do something and then turn round to blame and punish them?

As confusing as it may appear, God’s foreknowledge doesn’t interfere with the choices we make. Stated differently, because God knew what Israel will in the promise land doesn’t mean He created them to do that (some call it predestination). Though God had earlier warned the nation not to enter into idolatry (Deut 4:15), yet, in verse 25, he tells them that is exactly what they will do. Not immediately, but eventually. And he tells them the consequence of the action. Was God saying what he’ll make Israel do? No! Rather He was telling the nation what his foreknowledge permits him to see.

Yes, they would find themselves in deep trouble because of their own evil choices. But even in that, God assured them that His grace will be there in the future. Isn’t it beautiful how God makes provisions for our weaknesses even before we fall? Like Israel, all we have to do is to admit and return to Him. This is the whole concept of repentance – that we can return to God after we’ve gone astray and messed up our lives, and he’ll accept us back.

Reflection
What comfort can we find in the fact that God knows the future? At the same time, why should the foreknowledge of God not cause us to be careless and think that He has preprogrammed our lives?

4th Quarter: Present Truth in Deuteronomy.
Lesson 9: Turn Their Hearts
Sunday: Mi-Yitten

Text: [[Deu 5:29]] BSB
If only they had such a heart to fear Me and keep all My commandments always, so that it might be well with them and their children forever.

Message
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, (Rom 3:23). If you had no knowledge of the Bible, and you saw this statement in the newspaper today, would you have believed it? Is it any news that humanity has fallen down the stair of evil and Wickedness? You can just look at the people around you! No! Look at yourself first. Consider closely the intents of your heart. Are you any better? If the standard is Christ’s righteousness not your friends’, do you measure up to it? The bad news is, we all “fall short”. The good news is that, when we accept our wretched condition and go to God, he forgives and imputes on us Christ’s righteousness.

This week, we’ll look at this very important aspect of our relationship with God – repentance, as revealed in the book of Deuteronomy. The old testament language (Hebrew) is rich in expressions that carry deep meaning. One of such is Mi-Yitten Mi is the question “who?” and yitten means “will give.” So, literally, Mi-yitten is “Who will give?” But when used in the OT writing, this phrase expresses the idea of a wish, of a desire, of someone wanting something badly. An instance is when Israel cried in the wilderness, and wished that they had died in Egypt (Ex 16:3). This is a strong verbal expression of the intent of the heart which sometimes can’t be achieved because of certain limitations.

It’s interesting (if not unfortunate) to note that God uses this same expression. The sovereign, omnipotent God, uses a language that implies weakness when speaking about what he wished Israel will do – that’s to have a heart that will fear him so that it’ll be well with them. But why does it appear that God is “struggling” at this point? It tells us the reality of our free will (choices). As hard as it might appear, we see that there are limits to what God can do in the midst of the great controversy. This use of mi yitten reveals that even God can’t trample on free will; for the moment He did, it would no longer be free. God can only work with and in us when we choose to allow him.

Reflection
“If God loves us all, why doesn’t He just save everyone?” How does today’s lesson help answer this question? What choices are you making today, and how will they permit or block God’s desire to work for you? How can you learn to make the right choices?

4th Quarter: Present Truth in Deuteronomy.
Lesson 8: Choose Life
Thursday: A Question of Worship

Text: [[Deu 8:19]] BSB
If you ever forget the LORD your God and go after other gods to worship and bow down to them, I testify against you today that you will surely perish.

Message
Some have described God as an autocratic leader who imposes rules and threatens his followers to bow to him. But this is far from the truth, considering how He dealt with the Israelites and how He deals with us today. Think about this, Israel had accepted God’s leading right from Egypt. At Sinai, they entered a covenant with him surrendering wholly to Him. At this point, they were entirely God’s. But even after that, God didn’t force them to do anything, He only gave them the path to take, and when Israel will go astray, He’ll graciously welcome them back and renew His covenant with them. As part of their covenant obligations was to worship Him.

One of the things that made them stand out as a nation was their worship of the true God, and this standard was never to be compromised. God over and over again warned the nation to be careful not to worship the idols of the other nations. He’s a jealous God and will not share his glory with anyone. It was either Israel choose to remain in the covenant with him and worship him, or they follow the other gods. Here again, There was no middle ground. Worshipping God (leading to life) or following other gods (leading to death).

God wasn’t threatening the nation, nor was he instilling fear in them. He only gave them the truth. There’s only one source of life, and if one doesn’t follow that path, then it’s destruction that awaits them. The new testament, particularly the book of revelation gives the same call – worship the creator and have eternal life (Rev 14:7), or worship the beast and his image and perish (vrs 10,11). At the end of the day, the choice is yours. It’s no more a nation, you have to make a personal choice between life and death, this time, presented as worshipping the true God or a counterfeit.

Reflection
How can we make sure that, even subtly, we are not slowly leaving our allegiance to Jesus for some other god?
