Sabbath Bulletin - October 17, 2026: “He Came and Touched The Open Coffin”

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.

11 Now it happened, the day after, that He went into a city called Nain; and many of His disciples went with Him, and a large crowd. 12 And when He came near the gate of the city, behold, a dead man was being carried out, the only son of his mother; and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the city was with her. 13 When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said to her, “Do not weep.” 14 Then He came and touched the open coffin, and those who carried him stood still. And He said, “Young man, I say to you, arise.” 15 So he who was dead sat up and began to speak. And He presented him to his mother.
Luke 7:11-15 NKJV

Thought of the Day

Jesus Brings Hope! In a world filled with pain, sorrow, and broken relationships, Jesus still brings hope. Just as He touched the coffin and restored a son to his mother, He longs to touch our hearts, restore our families, and bring His children back to Him. No life is beyond His reach, and no heart is beyond His love. Jesus brings hope, healing, and restoration!
