Tamil Sabbath School

The main topic for study this week is the eschatological material of Mark 13 or the analysis of its inner context and the perspective of Ellen G. White on this topic.

This week’s study considers some significant incidents in Jesus’ life that transpire in Jerusalem, most specifically concerning the temple.

Our study this week addresses the question of how we may enter the kingdom of God. We also look at the challenges that people face in their intention to enter the kingdom or to experience the kingdom now.

This week’s study covers the priority of Jesus’ mission in light of God’s redemptive plan and the glory of God’s kingdom as portrayed, specifically, in the event of the Transfiguration.

Jesus stirs up controversy by His rejection of religious tradition. However, He does it in a way that is strikingly supportive of something deeply relevant to Christian life today.

This week’s lesson wraps up our study, highlighting the final developments in the cosmic war between God and Satan.

This week, we focus on several key elements of the end-time preparation of God’s people.

Biblical prophecy forewarns that the long cosmic conflict between the two opposite, irreconcilable forces, God and the devil, is drawing to a close and will culminate in a final battle. This last battle will be over issues of authority and worship.

Spiritualism is part of the devil’s scheme to promote the diabolical theory that we are gods and can live without God. Thus, spiritualism is the devil’s device to keep humanity on his side of the great controversy.

The law of God, which includes the Sabbath, is eternal and immutable because it represents God’s being, character, status as Creator and King of the universe, and His principles for life and relationships. The heavenly sanctuary is the seat of God’s government and of His salvation.

Seventh-day Adventists realized that the doctrine of the heavenly sanctuary was not only an important biblical teaching but was the central tenet of a biblical theology that connected other doctrines.

The “present truth” message as discovered by William Miller through a literal reading of Scripture focused on the hope in the soon appearing of the Messiah.

This study centers on the foundational role, authority, and power of the Word of God in the great controversy. Specifically, we will focus our attention on the Word of God as represented by the two witnesses who preached in sackcloth for the prophetic period of 1,260 years.

The study this week highlights three central principles that characterize the great controversy.

This week, we continue to witness the church’s stand on the side of God in the great controversy, throughout the periods of the Middle Ages and during the Reformation.

This week we watch as the apostolic, and the post-apostolic, church enters the great controversy between God and Satan.

Jesus’ instruction in Matthew 24 clearly outlines last-day events in the context of Jerusalem’s fall.

Looking at the world through the lens of God’s love, in light of the great controversy between good and evil, reassures each of us that right will triumph over wrong, and will do so forever.

This week’s study considers two miracles of Jesus. The first account is the story of a man, a member of a Gentile community, who was possessed by an unclean spirit. The other narrative is the story of an “unclean” woman who is a member of the Jewish community.

This week's study is on the parables in Mark 4, how to interpret what they mean, why Jesus used them, what kind of lessons they were intended to reveal, and how literally they were to be taken.

In Mark 2 and 3, the author highlights the fact that some religious teachers misapprehended and distrusted Jesus’ message.

The emphasis in the beginning of the Gospel of Mark is on action, particularly of Jesus’ healing of people. Mark often uses the word immediately to illustrate the fast-action movement of Jesus’ ministry.

This week’s lesson will focus on the identity of Mark as recorded in Scripture, from his early failure to becoming a restored missionary.
