He Leads in Right Pathways
In life, it seems that craziness is all around us. Not only does God promise to provide green pastures and cool waters for us, but He promised to do more. He promised to restore our souls and direct our paths. Join us on this journey as we continue to explore Psalm 23. Scripture: Psalm 23 “He Leads in Right Pathways” preached by Pastor Don Bryan on March 4th, 2023 at the Mount Vernon Seventh-day Adventist Church in Mount Vernon, Washington
He Makes Me Lie Down…
In the 23rd Psalm, we read that the Good Shepherd makes us lie down in green pastures. Sheep will only lie down if they are not fearful, have no strife in the flock, are not bothered by pests, and are not hungry. The reality is that in order for this to happen the Shepherd must be in their midst, providing what is needed. As with sheep, so it is with us. If we are distracted, discontent, disturbed, and starving we need…
I Shall Not Want
Scripture reminds us in the “Shepherd Psalm” that the LORD, or Yahweh, is our caretaker. And because of that truth, we want for nothing. Yet it may go deeper than that.

Could it be that when all looks black and foreboding that really we have the capacity to be at peace with Yahweh? Join us as we look…

Gotta Get to Jesus
Jesus had compassion on humanity! Over and over again, scripture records that Jesus was moved with compassion and worked on behalf of humanity because of it. People all over the place picked up on that and had to get themselves for others to Jesus. What about you and me? Are we filled with so much compassion for humanity that we work on behalf of the hurting? Do people see so much Jesus in you and me that they Gotta Get…
Does it Matter How You Share the Gospel?
Does it really matter how a person shares the “Good News”? Can’t I just throw down the message of Christ any old way and that is good enough? Or would it be better to mingle with people as a friend and share the “Good News” with joy, as if I am really changed by it? Join us this Sabbath as we illustrate and discuss this concept.
