Showing Compassion to our Neighbors
In today’s world we constantly see people in need. Some are struggling with homelessness, others with abuse and neglect, others with addictions, and still others who don’t fit into our ideal world. Do we take the time to stop to help them in their time of need? Do we provide comfort, shelter and even financial help to them? Do we only stop to help those that look like us, sound like us or have the same blood in our veins?…

If you find yourself spending “money on what is not bread” and your “labor on what does not satisfy,” God’s heart cry to you is “Come!..Listen!..Come to the…
Pulling Together to Finish God’s Plan
God made a plan before man was created. The 3 most powerful beings in the cosmos agreed that should man fall, no price was too great to save him. That plan resulted in Christ’s death and will be completed when Jesus returns to take His people home to live with Him. The Mt. Vernon SDA church is engaged in developing a strategic plan that will work to ensure we support God’s plan and provide opportunities for its members to use…
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.

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…

True Riches
Jesus described a man preparing for a traditional American retirement. Then He called the man a fool. What choices, in that moment of retirement, would Jesus have commended? 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? I have no place to store my crops.’ 18 _________19And…
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…

Together, lets explore what it means to have “the Spirit of wisdom and revelation”. (Eph. 1:17) Together, lets ask our Father…
