Finding Hope Through Discovery in Bible Study

Sabbath School Class—Life as Discovery and Hope May 30, 2009 Larry R Evans   Introductory Reflections   One of my favorite songs sung by the National Christian Choir and others is a song written by Walt Harrah, “No More Night.”   The song is based on two verses found in the book of Revelation (21:5; 22:4-5).   The passage speaks of heaven when it simply says, “On no day will its gates ever be shut, for there will be no night there.”   “They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.   There will be no more night.   They will not need the light of a lamp or th e light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light.   And they will reign for ever and ever.” Such is the experience when the presence of God exists without the threat of sin.

  Sabbath School Class—Life as Discovery and Hope May 23, 2009 Larry R Evans   Introductory Reflections  Perhaps you’ve seen the film, Mr. Holland’s Opus. It is a powerful story of one man’s life lived seemingly in vain, that is until he saw the real purpose of his life.   Mr Holland was filled with ambition.   His dream was to be a great composer but he was dogged with having to pay bills.   In order for him to meet his financial needs he and his wife moved to a small town where he taught music to high school students.   During his spare time he worked on his dream:   to write his dreamed of masterpiece—his own composition or opus.   Unfortunately life has its demands and its intrusion put on hold for fifteen years his completion of his masterwork.   One day when Mr. Holland was old the school board decided it was time for him to take an early retirement.   The scene shows him packing his desk and he reflects over his time spent in this little town and, of course, on his u...
