242 372The Least of These – A Call To Serve
“Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” [Matthew 25:40]
“Freely you have received, freely give.” [Matthew 10:8]
The Bible has numerous examples of Jesus loving people with actions, not just words. We live in a hurting, broken world, but as a faith-based charitable organisation, ADRA partners with individual supporters and churches to serve humanity so that all can live as God intended – free from poverty and disadvantage.
During this Sabbath School quarter (July to September 2019), Adventists will explore how we have been called to be the hands and feet of Jesus, and how through service to others, we can help foster loving, connected communities.
The resources available on this page can be used for individual and/or group study of the Sabbath School Lesson.
The below 13 videos, produced by ADRA South Pacific, were created to accompany the third quarter Sabbath School Lesson series, The Least of These (July to September 2019). Watch these inspiring videos and reflect on how you and your church community can be of service to your community. The videos can also enhance corporate study lessons.
