Looking to the Cross
Forgiveness of sins is a gift through Christ’s death that we do not deserve. With this forgiveness comes work which we must do–repentance. Repentance is not easy. If repentance is genuine it involves a change in the life of sin we have led, confession and restitution. Only through the grace of Christ can it be accomplished. Scripture: Zephaniah 3:17 “Looking to the Cross” preached by Joy Curtis on March 7th, 2020 at the Mount Vernon Seventh-day Adventist Church in Mount…
The Covenant – Father Abraham
This is 3rd in the series on the Covenant. In this session, we will see how the covenant, the plan of salvation, moves forward through a man named Abraham. The covenant gets additional clarification as Abraham is promised a land, a seed, a blessing and to be a blessing to all nations.

The Covenant Beginnings
The notion of a covenant is unfamiliar to many today. But, the practice of a covenantal life was an integral part of the ancient cultures in the Near East. Tens of thousands of documents unearthed in the last decades show a wide range of legal agreements between individuals and between nations. Already in the eighteenth-century B.C., such international covenants attached religious sanctions that involved the slaughter and cutting up of sacrificial beasts for the making of a covenants. The contracting…
Messy Love
Love is Messy. So how do we remain or become a loving human being? The Bible has a lot to say about love. It’s my heart’s desire (get it?), that we utilize the tools and knowledge we have been given to become the best loving version of ourselves that God created us to be. Won’t you join me in exploring how we can love God, others and ourselves better? Scripture: Deuteronomy 6:5; Mat. 22:37-38; Psalm 27:4-1; John 5:2-3; Psalm 23:6;…

Restoring Fellowship with God
We’ve heard that Jesus loves us and has called us friend (Jn 15:15a). In this message I explore the idea further. Why did God originally create man? What is the end goal of man’s salvation? Is the plan to take us back to the original relationship that was in the Garden of Eden? The Apostle Paul speaks of reconciliation between God and man. In 2 Corinthians 5:20 Paul says, “God has reconciled Himself to man, now man must reconcile himself…
Love Revealed
1 John 4:16 declares that God is Love. The very essence of who God is, is Love. Jesus came to show us the Father. To show us God’s Love for humanity. He demonstrated this incredible love by going to the cross on our behalf. When we talk about Amazing Grace, we should all kneel in amazement of God grace expressed in and through Jesus. Scripture: John 15:13 “Love Revealed” preached by Pastor Don Bryan on January 11th, 2020 at the…
