Sabbath School Ministry 9:40am, Sanctuary Presented by Elder John Olive Divine Worship Sabbath, May 6, 2017 11:00am Scripture Reading and Prayer Church at Study Closing Prayer Memory Text: For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us. Leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps. 1 Peter 2:21, NKJV Thoughts to Ponder: The history of persecution in the first few centuries of Christianity is well known. The Bible itself, especially the book of Acts, gives glimpses into what awaited the church. Persecution, with the suffering it brings, is also clearly a present reality in the life of the Christians to whom Peter is writing.
