The lessons this quarter review our Adventist heritage.

Beginning with early Advent history, the lessons cover the major milestones of the

growth and organization of God’s final movement and conclude with the end-time

dangers that face the people of God and their ultimate triumph over sin.

It is important for us, young and old, to understand why we are Seventh-day

Adventists and to be inspired to be among God’s faithful heroes.
