What does the Bible teach us about God and missionaries? What is a missionary and what is their mission? In what ways is God Himself a missionary? What took place in the Garden of Eden that caused humanity to be lost? How did Jesus Christ address that problem? What were the consequences of Sin? Why did Adam and Eve fall? What implications does this have for missionaries today? Why did God choose to operate through missionaries instead of heavenly beings or doing the work Himself? This week we tackle many of these subjects as we explore God as a missionary.

This week we focus on wisdom and its link to Creation. How is wisdom linked to creation? In what ways does wisdom's personification in Proverbs 8 connect with the characteristics of the Godhead? Also, in this chapter, Solomon again compares wisdom and foolishness highlighting their different approach at drawing people to their side. What makes wisdom the better option? What value should we place on wisdom? How do fools respond to wisdom?
This week we study the essence of the Great Controversy over God's character. Why is God on trial? Why does God need to vindicate His character to anyone? What were Satan's lies about God and how has God chosen to respond? God created beings that are free moral agents. What does this say about His government as king of the Universe? Can there truly be a merger of justice and love? If God was only love, or only justice, what would that mean for us?
Season 02 Episode 14 of Gems of Truth. Is one race superior to another? Did God create a racial hierarchy when he created man? Why does so much prejudice exist on this planet? Why does it sometimes carry over in the church? In this episode, the origin of man is traced to debunk the idea of racism and prejudice, showing that from a Biblical standpoint: all humanity is related to two common ancestors. Not of another species, as evolution would suggest, but two human families. If the human race is family, what does this mean about how we should treat each other?
What exactly happened in creation that led to the events of "the Fall"? How was Satan able to tempt two perfect people in a perfect world, and get them to rebel against the perfect God? What happened as a result of the Fall? Can these effects still be seen in our world today? What is God's plan to restore what was lost in creation? These questions are tackled in this week's study.
In this week's study we discuss the principle of stewardship based on Creation. Do human beings have any obligation to a higher authority? Do they have the right to live and do as they choose? How much of what we have really belongs to God? Does Stewardship only have to do with money? What about health, gifts, and other aspects of life? We explore this theme in this week's lesson.
