Tamil Sabbath School

This week’s lesson will focus on the identity of Mark as recorded in Scripture, from his early failure to becoming a restored missionary.

The emphasis in the beginning of the Gospel of Mark is on action, particularly of Jesus’ healing of people. Mark often uses the word immediately to illustrate the fast-action movement of Jesus’ ministry.

In Mark 2 and 3, the author highlights the fact that some religious teachers misapprehended and distrusted Jesus’ message.

This week's study is on the parables in Mark 4, how to interpret what they mean, why Jesus used them, what kind of lessons they were intended to reveal, and how literally they were to be taken.

This week’s study considers two miracles of Jesus. The first account is the story of a man, a member of a Gentile community, who was possessed by an unclean spirit. The other narrative is the story of an “unclean” woman who is a member of the Jewish community.

Jesus stirs up controversy by His rejection of religious tradition. However, He does it in a way that is strikingly supportive of something deeply relevant to Christian life today.

This week’s study covers the priority of Jesus’ mission in light of God’s redemptive plan and the glory of God’s kingdom as portrayed, specifically, in the event of the Transfiguration.

Our study this week addresses the question of how we may enter the kingdom of God. We also look at the challenges that people face in their intention to enter the kingdom or to experience the kingdom now.

This week’s study considers some significant incidents in Jesus’ life that transpire in Jerusalem, most specifically concerning the temple.

The main topic for study this week is the eschatological material of Mark 13 or the analysis of its inner context and the perspective of Ellen G. White on this topic.

This week’s study analyzes the anointing of Jesus with costly perfume, Peter’s forsaking of Jesus and Jesus’ suffering as a direct fulfillment of prophecy.

This week’s lesson presents the trial of Jesus, His condemnation, the mockery by the soldiers, His crucifixion, and then His death and burial.
