Adventurer Curriculum

The Adventurer curriculum is divided into four levels.

The Busy Bee level is designed for first-graders.

The Sunbeam level for second-graders.

The Builder for third-graders

The Helping Hand level for fourth-graders.



Each level builds on the levels which came before it and is especially designed to interest, challenge, and provide successful experiences for children of that grade level.

"A WAY OF ESCAPE"
Joseph while in prison started plotting his way to success. He said to the chief butler who would soon be restored to his position; "But when all goes well with you, remember me and show me kindness; mention me to Pharaoh and get me out of this prison" (Gen. 40:14).
The thief while nailed to the cross started plotting his way out of hell and his way into heaven. He said to Jesus Christ; "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom" (Luke 23:42). Life can get overwhelming. Sometimes life or our own mistakes lead us into difficult situations which seems inescapable. In such trying times, we're tempted to give up or to feel comfortable in the midst of our discomfort.
When your world is collapsing, when you're world is crumpling down, you can be sure of one thing; "God always provide a way of escape that you may be able to endure it" (1 Cor. 10:13). Always keep a cool head and don't worry when afflicted. Instead, look out for the "way of escape" which God always provides.
When caught in the net, fishes don't give up—they consider the tiny holes in the net as their "way of escape". "God always make a way when there seems to be no way". Start plotting your way out of your misery; find your "way of escape" (Isa. 43:19). God loves you! © Michael Adarkwah Agyemang

Sabbath School Summary
God's Everlasting Gospel
Lesson 10
Memory Text: Revelation 14:12
SATURDAY: Through a false system of worship, Satan will deceive many people, as we approach the end of this world. "But the people of God will not be misled." While many will receive the mark of the beast on their right hands or on their foreheads as a sign of serving Satan with their deeds and/or minds, a remnant will be faithful to God, and the gospel shall be preached to all (Rev. 14:1-6).
SUNDAY: The three angels' messages (Rev. 14:6; Matt. 24:14) are God's last threefold warnings to the world. The three angels are God's people "who are entrusted with the end-time message". The gospel is "everlasting" like it's Author—God (2 Tim. 1:9, Titus 1:2). The first angels' message depicts salvation & judgement. As Satan redoubles his efforts, the gospel must be preached with "a loud voice" (Rev. 14:7, 9).
MONDAY: Fearing God & giving Him glory are inseparable. The "fear" means taking God "seriously", but not being afraid (Rev. 14:7; Eccles. 12:13, 14). "God's end-time people are the ones who fear God" (Rev. 11:18; 19:5), love Him (Dan. 11:13, Matt. 22:37), obey Him (Deut. 5:29, Eccles. 12:13), and reflect Him (Gen. 22:12). Investigative judgment is already in play, by God (2 Cor. 5:10; 2 Pet. 3:9).
TUESDAY: There'll be two classes of people at the end-time; "those who fear and worship God, and those who fear and worship the beast". Worship and obedience to God will become the central issue (Rev. 14:12). Satan's major attack will be directed to the first four commandments which connotes worship (Exod. 20:2-11; Rev. 13:7, 8, 14, 15, 5, 6, 16, 17; Ezek. 20:12, GC, p. 605).
WEDNESDAY: Babylon comprises of false religious systems. She is depicted as a harlot—apostate church, who makes people to drink her wine—false teachings, of immorality (Rev. 14:8; 18:2; 17:5; Isa. 21:9, GC, p. 382, 383). The message of the second angel unmasks the apostasy of Babylon. All her corrupt practices will be laid open to the world, and the call to "come out from her" will go forth.
THURSDAY: The third angel's message is "the most fearful threatening ever addressed to mortals". The angel announces the fate of all apostates. The OT depicts the outpouring of God's wrath as drinking wine from a cup (Jer. 25:15, 16). All the apostates will drink the wine of the wrath of God which is "without mixture"—not diluted (means without mercy, Rev. 14:9, 10, 11, 12; 20:10-15, Gen. 19:23; Isa. 34:8-10, Jude 7).
FRIDAY: As the end draws near, God's people are called to proclaim the gospel message with "a loud cry". God Himself will empower His servants for the task ahead. With the help of the Holy Spirit, hearts will be convicted and converted. The great proclamation of the gospel is what will draw a line between the worshippers of God and the worshippers of the beast (Rev. 14:14-16, 17-20).

Discussion Questions
📌 Reflect on this thought: Who is preaching the three angels’ messages other than Seventh-day Adventists? What should this tell us about just how important our work is and how seriously we should take it?
📌 Why do you think that judgment is an unpopular concept among many Christians? What relevance does the concept of the pre-Advent judgment have for Christians today? How would you help your fellow believers better understand the true meaning of the pre-Advent judgment?
📌 Think about the question of the Sabbath in the context of final events. The issue is: Whom will we worship—the Creator of “the heaven and the earth” (Rev. 14:7, NASB), or the beast power? The Bible teaches that the seventh-day Sabbath is the oldest (Gen. 2:2, 3), most foundational sign of God’s creatorship of “the heaven and the earth.” What does that truth teach us about why the Sabbath, as one of God’s commandments (Rev. 14:12), plays such a prominent role in the final crisis?
For March 2-8. Happy Sabbath.

THE BLIND MAN & THE LAME MAN
Two beggars live in a forest, near a city. Naturally they are enemies, because they are in the same profession and in competition. One is blind and one is lame. And they are always quarreling about their clients. You don’t know what beggars say about you. They have their clients, they have their territories.
Beggars are continuously fighting. There is great struggle and competition. And those two beggars had been enemies for years. But one day the forest caught fire. The blind man was perfectly able to walk and run, but it was dangerous. He could not see whether he was going in the right direction, where there was no fire, or whether he was running through the fire towards more.
The lame man could not run on his own. And the fire was spreading so fast and the winds were so strong, but he could see that there was still a possibility to get out. There were a few places where the fire had not reached yet. But soon it would be reaching there. Soon, they would be covered by fire from all over the place. They both forgot all their antagonism, competition. This was not the time to fight, this was a time to unite.
And the blind man took upon his shoulders the lame man, and they became one personality. Now they had eyes and they had legs, both. The lame man could see, and direct where they had to run, and fast – and which directions had to be avoided. And the blind man was strong enough to run, carrying the lame man on his shoulders. They came out of the forest without being injured.
Moral Lesson;
1. We're here not to compete but to complete life. Put all differences aside and embrace unity! Division precedes a fall, but unity is strength. Unity amid diversity is Possible!
2. This ancient story is about your mind and your heart. Your heart can see, but cannot say. Your mind can say, but cannot see. If you are capable of bringing your heart and mind closer, your love and logic closer, your experience and expression closer, perhaps mind can also say something significant. It may not be complete, it may not be an entire expression, but it may be an indication in the right direction. It may be a finger pointing to the moon. It may not be the moon, but it can indicate towards the moon.
GOD LOVES YOU!
