Studies for SDA's
When studying with a Seventh Day Adventist, we take for granted that they already know basic Adventist teachings. This may not always be true. Therefore, I usually cover certain points whether that person claims to know them or not. On some of these subjects I begin with 2 Peter 1:12 as an introduction. The majority of people I have studied with usually realize that they did not really know the subject as presented.
The following is a list of subjects that you need to be thoroughly familiar with. So familiar, that it does not matter in which order you find the need to begin. The list is in an order I've found best suited for sharing the Reformation message.
