Here is another version of the question. Fill in the blank. Luke 12:16 VHQ Very Hard Questions Version Luke 12:16 And he told them this parable: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest. 17 He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do?

True Blue Loyalty
We honor, today, our heroic loyal defenders on front lines, deep blue seas, and wide blue skies who made the ultimate, most precious sacrifice to preserve liberty and keep the peace. THANK YOU!

Unlikely Heroism
Moviegoers for the first time are learning something about Seventh-day Adventists. They are learning that Adventists refuse to kill. So Perhaps its time we review our position. Conscientious objection has typically been the Adventist position. This approach comes in between pacifism and full participation. Adventists have always considered this to be a matter of personal conscience. What would you consider yourself to be? Consider that the use of violence muddies the waters on the conflict between good and evil. Today…
Father Abraham’s Sons
Muslims, Jews, and Christians have a legitimate claim to be Father Abraham’s sons and daughters. While it is a wonderful blessing to hold common genes and traditions with Father Abraham, it is a spiritual life of faith, submission, and action which qualifies us to claim that we are Father Abraham’s sons and daughters. The Arabic word Muslims use to describe this quality is “Hanif.” Look for an incredible mission story in the conclusion about why a Muslim ruler changed a…

I See You
“Why did I say that? Why did I do that? I’m glad no one can read my mind!” We often try to ignore or hide the part of us that is dark, unkind and sinful. We struggle with the purpose of shame and guilt. Our busy lives keep us from sitting with our guilt to let it lead us to Jesus. Instead we brush it off, cover it up, and all the while our feelings of unworthiness build. It is…
Hope

Sometimes the best gift we can give is to carry hope with those whose hope is failing Video mentioned in the sermon: Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:7 “Hope” preached by Randy Salt on April 15th, 2017 at the Mount Vernon Seventh-day Adventist Church in Mount Vernon, Washington
Offended
Are you offended often? Do you find others words or actions always in the wrong? What should I do when offended? What offended Jesus? How did he respond? Get offended for the right reasons and to not sin in becoming offended or offending others. I pray that this talk helps you when you do get offended. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 8-10; Job 34:31-33; Proverbs 11:12; Matt 17:22-25; Matt 18:15-17; John 2:13-19; John 2:23-25; Mark 1:35 “Offended” preached by Elder Mark Everett on…
