Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
Matthew 5:14
Meditation:
When questioned, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath days?” Jesus answered, “What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the Sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out? How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the Sabbath days.”
Matthew 12:10-12.
The spies dared not answer Christ in the presence of the multitude, for fear of involving themselves in difficulty. They knew that He had spoken the truth. Rather than violate their traditions, they would leave a man to suffer, while they would relieve a brute because of the loss to the owner if it were neglected. Thus greater care was shown for a dumb animal than for man, who is made in the image of God. This illustrates the working of all false religions. They originate in man’s desire to exalt himself above God, but they result in degrading man below the brute.
Every religion that wars against the sovereignty of God defrauds man of the glory which was his at the creation, and which is to be restored to him in Christ. Every false religion teaches its adherents to be careless of human needs, sufferings, and rights. The gospel places a high value upon humanity as the purchase of the blood of Christ, and it teaches a tender regard for the wants and woes of man. The Lord says, “I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.” Isaiah 13:12

We are Adventists in Torre Pellice. The Adventist Church belongs to the worldwide Christian community of Seventh-day Adventists. Our roots originate from a Protestant reform movement in the mid 19th century. Today, the global Seventh-day Adventist Church has over 20 million baptized members in over 200 different countries.
The first Adventist baptisms outside America were performed in Italy in 1865 in the Angrogna river at Torre Pellice.
The center of our faith is Jesus Christ, His sacrificial death for fallen humanity, and God’s plan of salvation, which will soon culminate in the return of our Lord.
Our faith is based solely upon the Word of God – the Bible. The Holy Scriptures are the guideline for our life, and their innumerable promises are still valid for us today. In response to and by the grace of God, we follow His laws, also known as the Ten Commandments, including the 4th Commandment, which calls all humanity to remember and honor God’s seventh-day Sabbath.
