This quarter we’re looking at “Making Friends for God.”
Your own story is the best witness to your faith. By sharing what God has done for you in your life you present something compelling. People may say, “Well, that worked for you, it wouldn’t work for me,” but they can’t deny what it meant to you.
We are ambassadors for Christ—every last one of us who are Christians. If this is so, what are we to do, and what are we to say? While we are very much in this world, how are we not “of” it? Does this mean some kind of haughty disengagement? Then what of the practical application—for the theory may seem clear, but in practice…
Some criticize our involvement in human organizations. But are we not called to witness for God and the truth wherever? Most importantly, how will those outside our community come to know the God we love and admire? It is not just a question of traditional evangelism—it is how we live our lives before the on-looking universe.
“For God was in Christ bringing the world back from hostility to friendship with him, not counting anyone’s sins against them, and giving us this message to change his enemies into his friends. So we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God is pleading through us: ‘Please, won’t you come back and be God’s friend?’” 2 Cor. 5:19, 20 FBV. We are ambassadors for Christ because he has given us his message of reconciliation.

Sabbath School on the Move meetings in progress
Speaking at Sligo Church Sabbath School Teachers’ Meeting:
Some of Dr. Gallagher’s articles and books are available here: articles books
Through a free, conversational study of the Scriptures Dr. Jonathan Gallagher invites you to participate in an exciting analysis and discussion of the Sabbath school lesson in the context of the character of God and in the setting of the Great Controversy
This supportive ministry seeks to make the Sabbath school study a relevant and important part of spiritual life by providing actual class discussions in audio format, accompanied by
study sheets. In this way class members become far more involved in discussing vital spiritual issues,particularly focusing on the nature and character of God in the setting of the Great Controversy. By centering the focus on a ‘free, conversational study of the Scriptures,’ Sabbath School On The Move contributes to both the growth and development of individual members and also a wider and more dynamic involvement in the fundamental message and mission of the church.
Recorded at different locations and also online, Sabbath School On The Move is made available free via the Internet to all, providing a rich resource for those teaching the lesson as well as those wishing to be more deeply informed about the subjects presented by the lesson. It is particularly useful to those who for various reasons are not able to attend Sabbath school in person, and provides a “virtual community” to members who can then experience the sense of belonging and participating in the wider church around the world.
