This quarter’s studies are on “The Gift of Prophecy”
The essential aspect of the prophetic call is that it is not a human decision. The call comes from God, and the prophet functions as the channel for God’s messages to his people. In so many ways, the Old Testament prophets were at odds with the religious system that had developed. While the role of the priests was to represent God and to instruct the people, all too often they had failed to encourage a personal relationship with him. Instead their function had devolved to a formal program of worship and a devotion to simply meeting requirements.
The prophets were called to challenge all this and to invite God’s people to true and meaningful lives lived together with their heavenly Father. In this way the prophetic call was God’s way of challenging those who followed him to a deeper understanding and commitment to a community that truly trusted him.

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.
