Grace So Amazing
Let us disentangle ourselves from the web of conspiracy theories conjecture, hate and fear-mongering that ensnares us daily. I want to call you to a greater, more ancient reality that infects us moment by moment. Sin has sentenced you and I to death, yet God provided a Vaccine long before the virus of sin existed. God, because of LOVE, lived among us and redeemed us in and through Jesus Christ. NOW HE wants to give you a “New Infection”! Because…
Sabbath School – Creation: Genesis as Foundation, Part 2
Many great thinkers were inspired by Scripture to explore God’s created world; as a result, modern science was born. Johannes Kepler, Isaac Newton, John Ray, Robert Boyle, and other early great scientists believed that their work revealed even more about the handiwork of God’s creation. After the French Revolution, however, nineteenth- century science began to move from a theistic worldview to one based on naturalism and materialism, often with no place at all for the supernatural. These philosophical ideas were…
Who am I?
Who am I? This profound question of identity and meaning has been asked by generation for thousands of years, maybe since the beginning of time. In Ephesians, Paul takes his shot at answering this question, but he adds a qualifier… “In Christ” Join us as we discover who we are, in Christ. Scripture: Ephesians 1:3-13; Eccl 1:9; Ephesians 2:1-20 “Who am I?” preached by Pastor Don Bryan on May 23rd, 2020 at the Mount Vernon Seventh-day Adventist Church in Mount…
Jesus Loves Me
When was the last time you sang “Jesus loves me”? When was the last time you believed that Jesus actually loves you? Join us as we dive into the reality that Jesus is head over heals in love with each of us. God emptied all Heaven, because of his incredible love for us. Scripture: 1 John 4:9-10, Jeremiah 31:3,Romans 5:8, Ephesians 2:4-8, 1 John 3:3 “Jesus Love Me” preached by Pastor Don Bryan on May 16th, 2020 at the Mount…
Sabbath School May 16th
More than 6,000 languages are spoken among the world’s billions. The complete Bible has been translated into more than 600 languages, with the New Testament or some portions translated into more than 2500 other languages, as well. That’s a lot of languages, for sure. But at the same time, it is still less than half of the known languages of the world. An estimated 1.5 billion people do not have the full Bible translated into their first language. While there…
God’s Gift
As Christ was about to complete or fulfill the old covenant, He established a New Covenant which we call the Lord’s Supper. This GIFT reminds us that he redeemed us by His blood and set us free to live in Him. We do not have to carry our load of sin. We can leave it as the cross because of Jesus. Scripture: Matthew 26:27-30, John 6:35,51, 1 Corinthians 11:24-26, Romans 6:23 “God’s Gift” preached by Pastor Don Bryan on May…
Sabbath School May 9th
To read the Bible also means to interpret the Bible. But how do we do that? What principles do we use? How, for instance, do we deal with the different kinds of writing we find there? For example, is the passage we’re reading a parable, a prophetic-symbolic dream, or a historical narrative? The decision of such an important question of the context of Scripture involves an act of interpretation itself. At times, some people use the Bible as a divine…
Has Anything Been Done Like This Great Thing?
We’ve been following the covenant promises of God from their inception in Genesis 3:15 through the Abrahamic covenant of Genesis 12:1-3. Many Christians today believe that the Abrahamic covenant was a covenant of grace while the Sinaitic covenant is a covenant of law. Is that understanding correct? Did God change His mind after Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and make a covenant that moved from promise to works? Or was obedience to God a call to a much more intimate life…
Sabbath School May 2nd
The Protestant claim of “Scripture alone” (sola Scriptura) elevated Scripture to the sole standard and decisive source for theology. In contrast to Roman Catholic theology, which emphasized Scripture and tradition, the Protestant faith emphasized the keyword “alone”; that is, Scripture alone is the final authority when matters of faith and doctrine are at issue. It was the Bible that gave the decisive force and authority to the Protestant Reformation and its revolt against Rome and the errors it had been…
If My People Pray: Part 2
Personal and corporate revitalization requires nothing less than the creative power of God. As the Paralytic of Luke chapter 5 discovered, Christ’s healing included both the soul and the body. Spiritual healing was followed by physical restoration. The is true for us today. Join us in our journey of discovery this Sabbath. Scripture: 2 Chronicles 7:14; 2 Chronicles 12:5-7; 2 Chronicles 33:10-13; 1 Peter 5:6-7; Numbers 6:23-27; Matthew 6:33; Luke 5:17-26 “If My People Pray: Pt 2” preached by Pastor…
