+#### Sen v Dallasu
+
+_Andrew McChesney_
+
+Samuel prohlásil, že o studium Bible nemá zájem. „Ale na dotazníku o studiu Bible jsi vyznačil, že máš zájem,“ řekl volající, biblický pracovník z prvního sboru církve adventistů sedmého dne v Dallasu, který leží v americkém státě Texas. On a další bibličtí pracovníci procházeli dotazníky, které církev rozdávala. „No, já nemám zájem,“ řekl Samuel.
+
+Volající odložil dotazník o studiu Bible stranou.
+
+O týden později Samuelovi zavolal jiný biblický pracovník.
+
+„Nemám zájem,“ řekl Samuel.
+
+Další týden zavolal biblický pracovník znovu.
+
+„Kolik by to studium Bible stálo?“ zeptal se Samuel.
+
+„Nic.“
+
+Na prvním biblickém studiu Samuel řekl, že se svou ženou hledají církev. Jejich syn je pozval do svého sboru, ale pohoršilo je kázání o papeži a sobotě. „Už nikdy nevkročím do sboru adventistů sedmého dne,“ řekl Samuel.
+
+Pracovník se tiše pomodlil a pokračoval ve studiu Bible.
+
+Po několika týdnech biblický pracovník pozval Samuela na evangelizační setkání v dallaské První církvi adventistů sedmého dne. Zajímalo ho, co Samuel řekne. Samuel souhlasil, že příjde.
+
+Na prvním setkání se Samuel s velkým zájmem rozhlížel po sboru. Budova měla jedinečnou architekturu se zaoblenou modlitebnou, zaobleným stropem a lavicemi zakřivenými kolem pódia. Samuel vyhledal biblického pracovníka. „Potřebuji s vámi mluvit,“ řekl. Biblický pracovník pomáhal s přípravou na setkání a požádal Samuela, zda by mohl počkat. Samuel souhlasil a posadil se. Pozorně naslouchal evangelistovu kázání o Danielovi 2. Poté vyhledal biblického pracovníka a vyhrkl: „Chci se nechat pokřtít!“ Samuel se na něj podíval a řekl mu: „Já chci být pokřtěn!“ Biblický pracovník byl v šoku a zvolal: „Cože?“
+
+Samuel řekl, že před 18 lety měl sen: „V tom snu mě Ježíš zavedl do sboru a řekl: 'To je moje církev,'“. „Když jsem dnes večer vešel do tohoto sboru, okamžitě jsem ho poznal. Konečně jsem našel sbor ze svého snu. Chci se nechat pokřtít.“
+
+Biblický pracovník zavedl Samuela k evangelistovi, který byl také překvapen, když se dozvěděl o jeho snu. Příběh byl o to pozoruhodnější, že sbir před 13 lety vyhořel a byla postavena nová budova. Samuel viděl ve snu nový sboru pět let před jeho stavbou.
+
+“Everything is possible when we cooperate with God in His mission,” said the evangelist, Slavik Ostapenko, now pastor of the Spokane Slavic Seventh-day Adventist Church in Washington State.
+
+„Všechno je možné, když spolupracujeme s Bohem na jeho poslání,“ řekl evangelista Slavik Ostapenko, nyní pastor slovanského sboru církve adventistů sedmého dne ve Spokane ve státě Washington.

+#### Kingston nachází naději
+
+_Andrew McChesney_
+
+Biblická pracovnice pozvala do sboru adventistů sedmého dne v Bethelu na Aljašce několik lidí, aby se podělili o své životní příběhy s návštěvníkem z adventistické misie. Část darů třinácté soboty ve čtvrtém čtvrtletí roku 2024 půjde na opravu a rozšíření sboru, aby se v něm mohlo usídlit centrum vlivu pro službu v Bethelu. Do města s 6300 obyvateli jsem přiletěl, abych shromáždil misijní příběhy k propagaci projektu.
+
+V určený čas se však ve sboru nikdo neobjevil. Biblická pracovnice Joy Anderson mávla směrem k velké pizze, kterou vyzvedla cestou do sboru ze své kanceláře, kde pracuje jako právnička.
+
+„Poslužte si,“ řekla Joy, která pochází z Alabamy a sbor vede společně s dalším biblickým pracovnikem. „Doufala jsem, že pizza podnítí lidi, aby přišli.“
+
+Když byla snězena asi polovina pizzy, vešel dovnitř Kingston. Vyjádřil překvapení, že je jediným přítomným. Pak si vzal kousek pizzy, posadil se a promluvil o tom, proč chodí na bohoslužby do sboru adventistů.
+
+Devětapadesátiletý hlídač řekl, že léta bojoval s alkoholem a drogami v Hooper Bay, městečku v deltě Yukon-Kuskokwim s 1400 obyvateli, které se nachází 90 minut letu malým letadlem od Bethelu. „Chtěl jsem se dostat z toho mizerného života, který jsem vedl,“ řekl. „Řekl jsem si: 'Pokud se z této lekce nepoučím, pokud se nepoučím ze svých chyb, lidé si budou myslet, že jsem hloupý. “
+
+Pak se Kingston přestěhoval do Bethelu a následoval tak cestu mnoha obyvatel delty Yukon-Kuskokwim, kteří opustili malá města v naději na lepší život v Bethelu, největší obci na západě Aljašky. Obyvatelstvo delty Yukon-Kuskokwim tvoří asi 85 % původních obyvatel Aljašky, kteří jsou především Yup'ikové, Cup'ikové a Athabaskové.
+
+Jednoho dne Steve, adventista a domorodý obyvatel z delty Yukon-Kuskokwim, pozval Kingstona do bethelského sboru. „Zeptal se mě, jestli mě něco trápí, nebo jsem na dně,“ řekl Kingston. „Byl jsem zvědavý, kam to chodí, a tak jsem začal do sboru docházet.“
+
+Kingston našel sílu ve chvílích strávených s ostatními návštěvníky sboru, kteří překonali jejich závislost na alkoholu a drogách. „Pomohli mi držet se od těchto věcí dál,“ řekl. „Toto prostředí mi pomohlo.“ Řekl, že je šťastný, ale stále hledá odpovědi. „Ta Dobrá Osoba nahoře všechno vidí,“ řekl. „Všichni nějak najdeme své odpovědi.“
+
+_Prosím, modlete se za Kingstona, který navštěvuje sbor téměř každou sobotu, ale ještě se nerozhodl pro křest. Děkujeme vám za dary třinácté soboty, které v tomto čtvrtletí podpoří misijní pomoc ve sboru Církve adventistů sedmého dne v obci Bethel. Jména obyvatel Bethelu byla změněna z důvodu ochrany jejich soukromí. Na fotografii je Joy Anderson._

+title: Order out of Chaos
+date: 01/01/2025

+
+> <p>Scripture</p>
+> In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. (Genesis 1:1-2)
+
+### Observation
+
+These two verses open the book of Genesis, the Bible, and the history of humanity on this earth. It speaks of the chaos that reigned on the earth before God began His work of creation and before He brought everything into a perfect order and harmony. There, when the earth was without form and void, the Spirit of God hovered over the abyss as He began to bring order out of disorder.
+
+### Application
+
+As we begin a new year, this is an opportunity to look over our marriage and our family and ask God to bring order out of chaos. It may seem as if our marriage or our family is falling apart – it could be an illness, or death; it could be infidelity or lack of commitment; it could be falling into the doldrums, the routine, the unhealthy comfort of life; it could be an abandonment of our spiritual connection with God and thus with one another. Whatever it is that’s brought disorder and chaos in our life, in our marriage, in our family, we can ask God to send His Holy Spirit to restore order, to bring back harmony, to make something very good out of the chaos we have created.
+
+> <callout>A Prayer You May Say</callout>
+> Father, as we begin this new year, please send your Spirit to bring harmony and order out of what we have so badly mismanaged. Recreate in us Your image and thus make of our marriage and family a true reflection of You.

+title: Love and Lead
+date: 01/02/2025
+---
+
+_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_
+
+> <p>Scripture</p>
+> Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner. 20 For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself does; and He will show Him greater works than these, that you may marvel. (John 5:19-20)
+
+### Observation
+
+Jesus had just healed the man, at the Pool of Bethesda, who had been there for thirty-eight years waiting and hoping for a miracle. Jesus simply asked him if he wanted to be made well, but the man’s response shows his hopelessness - I don’t have anyone to put me in the water, and somebody always gets there first. Instead of expecting him to perform any kind of act in order to receive healing, Jesus told him to get up, pick up his bed, and walk, and immediately the man did as was told and was healed as he had hoped for many years.
+
+It’s interesting that when the Jews saw him, knowing he had been infirm for thirty-eight years, they did not marvel at this glorious miracle but instead focused on the breaking of their tradition! They were more ready to condemn this person who hadn’t been able to walk almost his entire life for walking and carrying his bed on the Sabbath than they were to rejoice and celebrate the fact he was walking at all!
+
+Looking for the guilty party, the one who would dare “break” the Sabbath by healing this man, they found out it was Jesus and “began to persecute Him” and to try to “kill Him” (John 5:16). In response Jesus told them He was simply doing what His Father always does. The words of our text for today are part of His words to the Jews.
+
+### Application
+
+The relationship between God the Father and Jesus is unique to them - the triune God. But in His humanity, Jesus lived His life in such a way as to teach about how fathers and children, and particularly fathers and sons, can and should have a close relationship based on mutual love, respect, and obedience. Two important lessons we as fathers must learn from these words of Jesus:
+
+1\. Fathers must lead, and we must lead by example, not just command with words. Jesus said He did, “What He (the Son) sees the Father do.” Children watch every action and hear every word of their father and imitate them. For a child, their father is this giant whose example they want to emulate, and whose love and recognition they crave, and their way to seek for their attention is through copying what they see their fathers do. It makes them feel “grown up’ and “mature” to do as their fathers do.
+
+In explaining the words of Exodus 34:7 [“ visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, upon the third and upon the fourth generation”], Ellen White writes: “God did not mean in this threatening that the children should be compelled to suffer for their parents' sins, but that the example of the parents would be imitated by the children. If the children of wicked parents should serve God and do righteousness, he would reward their right-doing. But the effects of a sinful life are often inherited by the children. They follow in the footsteps of their parents. Sinful example has its influence from father to son, to the third and fourth generations. If parents indulge in depraved appetites, they will, in almost every case, see the same acted over in their children. The children will develop characters similar to those of their parents; and unless they are renewed by grace, and overcome, they are truly unfortunate. If parents are continually rebellious, and inclined to disobey God, their children will generally imitate their example. Godly parents, who instruct their children by precept and example in the ways of righteousness, will generally see their children following in their footsteps. The example of God-fearing parents will be imitated by their children, and their children's children will imitate the right example their parents have set before them; and thus the influence is seen from generation to generation.” (1 Spirit of Prophecy 257-258)
+
+2\. Not only does Jesus do what He sees the Father do, but the Father also loves the Son. So it isn’t enough to show our children what to do, we must love them. It may sound unusual to tell fathers they must love their children when it should be natural for them to do so. And yet, there are fathers who did not experience that love in their own homes and therefore don’t know what that type of love is and how to express it to their children. Lovelessness can go through many generations! But so can love!
+
+So, fathers, add these two ingredients to your relationship with your children: Love them and lead them by example.
+
+> <callout>A Prayer You May Say</callout>
+> Dear Father, Thank You for loving us and leading us. Help us to learn what You want to show us and teach us, and help us to imitate You so that we may love and lead our own children, who are really Your children too, that the may not only follow us but ultimately that they may follow You, their Loving, Eternal, Perfect father.

+title: Don't Live Under a Burden
+date: 01/03/2025

+
+> <p>Scripture</p>
+> Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light." (Matthew 11:28-30)
+
+### Observation
+
+John, who baptized Jesus, was in prison. While there, his faith must have been tested severely and he sent some of his disciples to ask Jesus if He was indeed the Messiah he believed Him to be or if they should wait for somebody else. Jesus responded by telling him to look at the evidence of His ministry, and then He told John’s disciples and others who were listening about the John’s high calling. In is in connection with John’s unjust imprisonment that Jesus declares the words of today’s text.
+
+### Application
+
+I find it interesting that Jesus seems to be thinking about John, his cousin, and what he must be feeling now being thrown in prison for standing and proclaiming what is right and true. Jesus must have been thinking of so many of His disciples who would also experience persecution, imprisonment, and even death because of their convictions.
+
+At the same time, I couldn’t help but think how these verses apply to those who find themselves in a difficult marriage or with challenging family difficulties and Jesus extends to each of them, each of us, the promise that He’s ready to carry our heavy burden and instead give us his “yoke” which is so much lighter and better. Think about it, Jesus invites us to bring to Him whatever situation where going through today, and He will take whatever it is on His shoulders, take them off our shoulders, and instead give something much better to have in their place.
+
+I think this is Jesus’ way of saying, “Don’t give up on your relationship!” But it’s also His way of saying, “You don’t simply have to stay in a relationship that is making you miserable; let me have it and I’ll give you something a lot better and much more pleasant in its place.” Don’t settle for “accepting what life has dealt you.” Accept what Jesus offers you and enjoy life abundantly.
+
+> <callout>A Prayer You May Say</callout>
+> Dear Father, thank you that whatever challenge we may face in our married life or in our family does not have to be unbearable but that Jesus bears all our burdens in life and instead gives us what we can easily bear. Take our burdens, dear Jesus, and help us to live life as you intended for us, life to its full.
