“For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. (Hebrews 4:15-16)” Join us as we focus on the necessity of prayer. Our Lord and Saviour spent His early mornings in communion with His Father, giving us an example. He w...
“The work is soon to close. The members of the church militant who have proved faithful will become the church triumphant. In reviewing our past history, having travelled over every step of advance to our present standing, I can say, Praise God... We have nothing to fear for the future, except as we shall forget the way the Lord has led us, and His teaching in our past history...” (7LtMs, Lt 32, 1892, par. 38)” These words praising God’s lead...
“Christ, the Great Teacher, had an infinite variety of subjects from which to choose, but the one upon which He dwelt most largely was the endowment of the Holy Spirit. What great things He predicted for the church because of this endowment. Yet what subject is less dwelt upon now? What promise is less fulfilled?

We have a race ahead of us that must be run. Hebrews 11 presents the stories of men and women of God who ran this race victoriously and now await the prize promised to them. How did they run? What gave them the victory? They kept their eyes on Jesus. Join us as we spend three thoughtful days pondering the theme of Looking Unto Jesus. In our time together, we will cover Hebrews 12:1-4, learning more about the Christian’s race and what is expec...

The theme for this convocation is inspired by this vision: “While I was praying at the family altar, the Holy Ghost fell upon me, and I seemed to be rising higher and higher, far above the dark world. I turned to look for the Advent people in the world, but could not find them, when a voice said to me, ‘Look again, and look a little higher.'" — Early Writings, p. 14” And also this verse: “Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious...
