About AltarActive

AltarActive is a devotional blog born from a simple desire: to help people return to a deeper, more meaningful walk with God — one altar at a time.

Created by a husband-and-wife team grounded in the teachings of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, this space is dedicated to supporting and enriching the weekly journey through the Sabbath School lesson guides. Our content offers rewritten reflections and simplified insights, rooted in biblical truth and inspired by the weekly studies.

We are not an official SDA source, but a heartfelt companion. Whether you're a longtime Adventist or exploring the lessons for the first time, our hope is that each post draws you nearer to the One who calls us back to the altar.

“Let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them.”
– Exodus 25:8

Our Mission

To inspire daily communion with God by offering simplified, heartfelt reflections based on the SDA Sabbath School lessons — helping believers return to the altar of personal worship, prayer, and spiritual growth.

Core Values

  • Faithfulness to Scripture – Rooted in God’s Word and the Adventist message of truth and hope.
  • Simplicity with Depth – Making profound truths accessible for everyday readers.
  • Devotion over Information – Focusing not just on what we know, but how we live.
  • Community Support – Aiding others in their spiritual journey, not replacing it.
  • Respect & Integrity – Honoring the official Sabbath School guides and giving credit where it’s due.

Thank you for joining us on this journey — back to the altar.

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, ...

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...
