School FAIRHAVEN CHURCH AT STUDY Sabbath, February 27, 2016 Song Service :30 A.M. Opening Song Congregation Opening Prayer Welcome and Opening Remarks Superintendent Secretary s Report Mission Report The Church at Study Teachers Lesson Theme: The Great Controversy and the Early CHURCH Memory Text: When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus. ~ Acts 4:13, NIV Summary: The greatest barrier Jesus faced with His followers was their preconceived opinions dispite what Jesus said if it did not fit in with their own ideas of who He should be. It was only after 10 days of prayer and close fellowship with the presence of God that their preconceptions began to be replaced with truth, and the disciples were ready to hear what God told them. This paved the way for the incredible events at that first Pentecost after the crucifixion of Jesus. Today, we cannot overcome our own prejudices or withstand the forces of evil except by the power of that same Holy Spirit. Closing We invite You to make Sabbath School a part of your weekly worship experience! Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth. ~ 2 Timothy 2:15

2 Call to Worship Habakkuk 2:20 The Lord is in His holy temple; let all the earth keep silence before Him. Affirmation of Faith John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved. Exodus 20:8-11 Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work; but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy GOD; in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day; wherefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it. When the out-look is dark, And the in-look discouraging, Try the UP-LOOK IT S ALWAYS ENCOURAGING!!
