Sabbath School for a New Generation

Among Seventh Day Adventists, Sabbath School is a time for discussion and learning. It is the belief of this site that Sabbath School should be an exciting venue for the discussion of new ideas, instead of rehashing old arguments. So welcome to a virtual Sabbath School, a Sabbath School for a new generation.

Finding God in Los Angeles - Part 2

Introduction: During my last sabbath school lesson, we talked about how to experience God. We talked about several practices that allow us to have a clearer picture of God. Since I didn't like the theoretical aspect of the last lesson, this lesson will be spent discussing how best to apply these ideas in our lives.


  • Why do we want to have a closer relationship with God?

  • Why is it important?


Discussion

  • How would you classify your relationship with God?

  • What areas need work?

  • How would you describe somebody who has a good relationship with God?

  • What do you want out of this relationship?

  • How do we motivate ourselves to maintain and grow the relationship?

  • Set a goal.

  • What steps should you take to achieve that goal?

  • What would you like to accomplish this next week? Next month? Next year?

  • Do you have somebody you can talk to about your goals so they can help?


Conclusion

I hope that with these questions you were able to think about what is your relationship with God like, what areas need improvement, and what steps do you need to take to get to your goal.
