Sabbath Bulletin - Aug 16, 2025: The Hands That Reach Heaven

By Maui Kahului Seventh Day Adventist Church

Thank you for joining us this Sabbath! We extend a heartfelt "Aloha & Happy Sabbath," to all our members, visitors, & guests. We are thrilled to have you with us today this Sabbath.

Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or disputing.
1 Timothy 2:8 NIV

Thought of the day

True prayer is more than silent words; it is a heart reaching out to God, visibly expressed through the biblical posture of lifted hands. Throughout Scripture, from Moses to David to Solomon, and affirmed in the New Testament, lifting hands is a sacred, God ordained sign of sincere prayer and dependence on God. Though traditions may vary, God calls us to align not only our hearts but also our outward actions with His Word. As we learn to pray with hands lifted, even if it feels unfamiliar at first, we open ourselves more fully to His presence and power, deepening our connection with Him in spirit and truth.
