2nd Quarter of 2024 Sabbath School Study Guide Introduction

The theme for the Sabbath School Study Guide for the third quarter of 2024 is "The Great Controversy". The great controversy began in heaven with Lucifer's rebellion against God. At the heart of this cosmic conflict is the issue of God's love. is he fully loving? does he have the interests of his creatures in view? or is he an authoritative dictator desiring only what is in His own selfish interest? 

This quarter's lessons Trace world history from God's viewpoint, as prophecy reveals it, from the time of Christ down through the centuries to our day and beyond.
