Gabriel Arruda: My Journey of Loss and Recovering from Grief

Sabbath School lessons are part of a global study initiative undertaken by members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. As we enter the fourth quarter of 2025, we will explore the theme “Joshua” This week’s lesson, titled “Living in the Land” covers the period from December 06 - December 12. Join Pastor Mark Finley for a brief preview of what to expect in this week’s study.

This message explores how the weekly 7‑day cycle ties into creation, our physical and spiritual rhythms, and worship. it argues that humankind was created to operate in a 7‑day rhythm ordained by the Creator. Mark Finley links this to the Sabbath, asserting that worshiping on the seventh‑day aligns us with God’s design. Then he unfolds three attributes of God as Creator: unlimited power, infinite care, and incredible love, showing how these relate to the Sabbath and to our lives.

Listen to my story of loosing my wife, how it effected me, how God recovered me, and what He taught me about how to grieve in a healthy way.
