When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed. Where did this man get these things? they asked. What s this wisdom that has been given him? What are these remarkable miracles he is performing? Isn t this the carpenter? Isn t this Mary s son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas and Simon? Aren t his sisters here with us? And they took offense at him. Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honor except in his own town, among his relatives and in his own home. He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them. He was amazed at their lack of faith.

What Are Camp Meetings?: A series of meetings held for a number of days [often 10], generally in a rural or semirural setting, with provision for encampment on the grounds; a type of meeting now peculiar to the Seventh-day Adventist Church and a few other denominations. Camp meetings are held in various sections of the world, usually annually, and at times when the weather is suitable for such occasions. Camp meetings originated among the Presbyterians in Kentucky in the early years of the nineteenth century and later flourished especially among the Methodists. SDA camp meetings began in 1868, five years after the General Conference was incorporated in The background for the SDA gatherings was in the Millerite camp meetings of , in which both James White and Joseph Bates, early leaders of the SDA Church, had participated, and in similar meetings held by the Methodist Church with notable success. Steering away from the basically evangelistic nature of the nineteenth-century camp meetings, SDAs today tend more and more to utilize these yearly sectional gatherings as spiritual meetings for the church members, though not ignoring opportunities for neighborhood evangelism.
