My Journey With Jesus
This is my first opportunity to share what Jesus Christ means to me in front of a congregation. I do love to teach and have some experience doing so. And I do love my Lord.

Steven Covey identified 7 characteristics of highly effective people. The…
Gethsemane
Jesus almost lost the human race in Gethsemane. His friends’ brutal treatment was an added Gethsemane punishment Jesus did not need. He needed intercessory prayers. All He got was rejection, snoring, and cowardice. Would you consider helping someone overcome his or her Gethsemane this week through significant intercessory prayer and a ministry of presence? Scripture: Matt 26:36-46, Mark 14:32-42, Luke 22:39-46 “Gethsemane” preached by Pastor John McGhee on July 15th, 2017 at the Mount Vernon Seventh-day Adventist Church in Mount…

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…
Calling All Prayer Warriors
At a time in history when the hearts of people are failing them for fear, the Father is calling the church to “be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.” (Eph. 3:19) What does that mean? What could it look like? Please join me in an adventure, a quest to become mighty prayer warriors, like Paul in the book of Ephesians. Together, lets explore what it means to have “the Spirit of wisdom and revelation”. (Eph. 1:17) Together, lets ask our Father…
It’s All Good
The Bible identifies three kinds of groaning which makes audible the inner sounds of pain. Did you know that underneath the skyscrapers of Seattle, the tectonic plates are groaning? According to my sources, there were 18 earthquakes in the greater Seattle area during a recent 7-day period. The human race is also groaning with hunger, poverty, sickness, and death. Is it possible that a perfectly healthy God may also be groaning in agony? Scripture: Romans 8: 22-26 “It’s All Good”…
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
Love hopes all things. Love carries a vision for the excellent future of the loved one is being invited into. 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…
The Silence of God
All of us face obstacles on our spiritual journey. This sermon looks at a difficult but inspiring story of a woman who persevered through great obstacles. We encounter the same basic issues in our day and in our lives.
