2 Sabbath School Ministry Program 9:15 A.M. Song Service Scripture Reading Prayer Adventist World Mission Story Testimony Closing Prayer 9:45 A.M. Church at Study Lesson Topic: The Curse Causeless? Memory Text: Can a mortal be more righteous than God? Can a man be more pure than his Maker? (Job 4:17, NKJV).You Thought to Pounder: Last week we stressed the importance of putting ourselves in the position of Job, at least to whatever degree possible. In one sense, it shouldn t have been that hard, because we ve all been there; that is, to some degree we ve all found ourselves immersed in suffering that so often seems to make no sense and certainly doesn t seem fair. While in the rest of the lesson we should try to keep that perspective, we also need to find the perspective of the other people in the story, the men who come to mourn and grieve with Job. In fact, so much of the book of Job is really taken up with the dialogue between Job and these men, as they all try to make sense of what so often seems to make no sense: the endless parade of human suffering and tragedy in a world created by a loving, powerful, and caring God. **** Classes/Programs are also held for our young people: Beginners (0-4); Kindergarten (Pre-School); Primary (Grade School); Youth (High School). classes please see one of our Greeters. **** Purpose: To make Disciples Core Values: Prayer, Preparing People, and Praise Mission Statement: To welcome with Love and minister to our families, our church, and our community.
