Read and creatively synthesize selected passages from Prophets and Kings, The Acts of the Apostles, and The Great Controversy that relate to the writing and context of the books of Daniel and Revelation. After reading, choose one of the following response options:

• Create a visual timeline that connects Daniel and John’s prophetic experiences with historical events.
• Write a reflective narrative comparing how God used both prophets in captivity and isolation.
• Create a multimedia presentation, poem, or dramatic monologue expressing what you learned about God's guidance through these prophetic writings.

Include insights from your reading of one or more of the following chapters:

2a

“In the Court of Babylon” – Prophets and Kings, pg. 470–490

2b

“Nebuchadnezzar’s Dream” – Prophets and Kings, pg. 491–502

2c

3

Read Steps to Christ thoughtfully and prayerfully and write a one page report/essay, a series of short journal entries, or a series of social media posts outlining each of the eleven steps to Christ. Focus on application and self-evaluation—not just summary.

4

During several worship periods, read with your parents or group the historical prologue to the book Early Writings. Choose three of the historical sections, outline the events chronologically, then imagine what it would have been like to live during that part of early Adventist history. Illustrate your imaginings through art, skit, or creative storyline.

5

With the support of a church leader, lead out in a series of doctrinal Bible studies, using a trusted Seventh-day Adventist Bible study series (such as It Is Written, Amazing Facts, etc.).

• Maintain a visit chart to track each Bible study session.
• Take notes on how each person or family responded to the call for decision.
• Document how you and the church leader guided any questions or objections during the study.
• Reflect prayerfully on how the experience strengthened your own faith and ability to share truth.
