What is Sabbath School?
Sabbath School is a time to deepen our understanding of the Bible and of Jesus our Lord. The topics for study change each quarter. Each study guide is laid out to be studied 6 days a week in order to be prepared to share insights with others in the class. We are small in number at the Oak Ridge Church, but still yet strong on Bible study.
We are always amazed at the topics the worldwide church brings for our consideration! All around the world, people are studying the same topic week by week for 13 weeks. Then a new topic comes to absorb us! We welcome all visitors and promise that we will never embarrass anyone by calling on them without permission granted! So, nothing to fear, but fear itself! Come join us and take delight in how deep we go in our study!

- Skip to Tuesday’s lesson Deep Bible Study (see below)
- Choose the Memory Text (Sabbath’s lesson) and write it in your Steno Pad or Journal (see the example on right (below) and note to leave the right hand column temporarily blank.
- Underline key ideas and/or circle key words. Now write down what the underlined ideas tell you in the right column. These can become Wow moments. You may want to look up word meanings in a lelxican.
- Repeat this for each day or section to complete the study. Review and Repeat the list under Deep Bible Study below.
- Start a new page label it: Psalm 119 – Deep Bible Study Note that Psalms 119 is divided into 22 sections, one for each letter of the Hebrew alphabet. Eight verses in each section. Each person selected just one verse from the Aleph section (1st section) . Then it was time each to SHARE their selected verse and notes.

The Desire of Ages, p 24Since Jesus came to dwell with us, we know that God is acquainted with our trials, and sympathizes with our griefs. Every son and daughter of Adam may understand that our Creator is the friend of sinners. For in every doctrine of grace, every promise of joy, every deed of love, every divine attraction presented in the Savior’s life on earth, we see “God with us.”
