In Search of the Perfect Kingdom
Ever since the fall of mankind in the Garden of Eden, humanity has been searching for the perfect kingdom. The Hebrew nation was no different – they too desired a government different than God had provided, and asked for a king so that they might be like all the other nations (1 Samuel 8:4-22). In his gospel, Matthew speaks to the Jews about their quest for the perfect kingdom and the restoration of “the Kingdom of Heaven.” The result is…
Compassion on Parade
From Scripture, we discover that God is love. It is the essence of who God is. We also learn that His love is bigger than the Universe. Bigger than two septillion stars. It would stand to reason then, that His compassion, the expression of His love, would also be deeper, wider, and fuller than any tongue could tell. In fact, the writers of the New Testament had to coin a new word, just to try and express God’s compassion as seen in…
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…
Can We All Just Get Along
We are all God’s children. Therefore, there can be no true racial reconciliation without God. “Can We All Just Get Along” preached by Daryl Hamilton-Manier on February 18th, 2023 at the Mount Vernon Seventh-day Adventist Church in Mount Vernon, Washington
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 with Yahweh as our caretaker, we can be content in whatever situation or circumstance we find ourselves in? 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…

Are You Breathing?
We are busy humans, rushing from one thing to the next. Oftentimes we neglect our health, our home, our family all because we have so much on our plates to do. We usually have a good excuse or a plan for “next week when things slow down” at which time we will then get our lives in order. Just as with our physical health, our spiritual health will wane without attention. Join us as we explore how prayer can and has changed the…
