Welcome to AltarActive: Back to the Altar Begins Here

-

 We’re so glad you’re here.

AltarActive was born out of a quiet conviction — that in a world full of noise, distractions, and spiritual busyness, God is calling us to return to the altar.

Week by week, we walk through reflections based on the SDA Sabbath School lessons — not to replace them, but to supplement your study with fresh perspectives, clear devotionals, and spiritual encouragement.

We write as a couple. We study, pray, and wrestle with these truths together. And we share them with you, hoping they will bless your heart as they’ve blessed ours.

So welcome — whether you’re a long-time Sabbath School student or just getting started, we’re honored to be part of your journey.

Let’s go back to the altar — together.

— The AltarActive Team

🗓️ Faith in Action – Week 2 Weekend Feature All-Nations Center Image credit: General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists / Adventist Mission. Used from the official Sabbath School Bible Study Guide, 3rd Quarter 2025. A Transformed Mind: From Gang Life to God’s Work As told by Andrew McChesney, Adventist Mission Mitch was a tough gang member in Washington state. But a violent brawl left him with a traumatic brain injury so serious that doctors said, “You’ll never work again.” But someone believed otherwise. His younger brother, Stephan , invited him to the All Nations Center Seventh-day Adventist Church in Wapato, where he worshiped with their mother and sister. Mitch didn’t go willingly at first — but something happened. He kept going. Week after week. And then, he opened a Bible. 🧠 Hope in the Word Driven by the hope that Scripture could heal his damaged mind, Mitch grabbed hold of Romans 12:2 : “And be not conformed to this world: but be transformed by the renewing of ...

These were not random events, but targeted judgments—each one exposing the powerlessness of false gods and the ultimate authority of the Creator. 📖 Exodus 9:23 (KJBPNV) “‭And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven: and Yahweh sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran along upon the ground; and Yahweh rained hail upon the land of Egypt.” ☁️ The hailstorm challenged Nut , the Egyptian sky goddess, and Osiris , god of crops. The fire that mingled with the hail devastated Egypt’s food sources and declared Yahweh’s dominion over weather, life, ...

🩸 Covered by the Blood: Why Passover Points to the Messiah (Exodus 12) | July 29 Sabbath School

🩸 Exodus Lesson 5: Covered by the Blood | Sabbath School Study (July 29, 2025) 🖼️ AI-generated image: Israelites marking their doorframes with lamb’s blood during Passover (Exodus 12) Date: Tuesday, July 29, 2025 Weekly Theme: Lesson 5 — Passover 🕊️ Pesach: Covered by the Blood In the first Passover, the blood of the lamb wasn’t symbolic — it was survival. As death loomed, God gave specific instructions: mark your home with blood. The destroying angel would pass over those who obeyed in faith. 📖 Exodus 12:13 (KJBPNV) “‭And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where you are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.” God’s justice passed over them — not because they were better, but because of the blood. That’s the gospel. The lamb had to be perfect, foreshadowing the Messiah Himself. 📖 John 1:29 (KJBPNV) “‭The next day John saw Yahshua coming to him...
