Exploring Prayer
Prayer is the continuation of the conversation with God that started when Adam first opened his eyes. God called this conversation “very good.” Through prayer we re enter that conversation and receive forgiveness, healing and restoration to the family of God. As helpful as this is, it can also, at times, become very confusing and painful. David, Mary and Martha and Job were people in the Bible who also, at times prayed in deep pain and frustration. They found this…
Knowledge of God
Just as politicians today use lies and deceptive language to castigate their opponents, Satan used lies and misrepresented God to God’s newly created people. Satan continues to do so today. How does God get His message to those of us on earth? Scripture tells us that God is worthy of our worship because He is our creator and our redeemer and that’s what He uses to communicate His love to us. In spite of sin, nature continues to shout that…
Low Hanging Fruit
The “butterfly effect” is the theory that small causes can have large effects. A butterfly flaps its wings, and the result of just the slightest shift in the air, can cause a tornado several countries over. Based on the mathematical chaos theory, those two incidents seem quite extreme to be related. But like the ripple effect, where the smallest ripple can reach the far edges of the lake, we cannot help but affect the world and others in it simply…
Next Level
Have you ever seen a full grown person act like a baby? It is not pretty and can be embarrassing, especially for the bystanders. The Bible has identified 8 qualities which ensure that a Christian is a top level ambassador from God . “If you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.” 2 Peter 1:8 Want to know what they are? Let the McGhee…
A Different Way of Life
If disciples had to pass a final test in order to receive certification, what kind of questions would they find? Our speaker, Brenda Hubin-Price, had to pass her nursing boards (a 3 – 4 hour test) in order to obtain her professional RN certification. Like many Christians, she is also a disciple of Jesus who has passed the test of discipleship. Her assignment on August 13, 2006 is to help those who worship at the Mount Vernon Seventh-day Adventist Church…
How High
We are learning today that faith is one of the most precious, powerful gifts a human can receive from God. The Bible teaches, “think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith (Romans 12:3).” We’ll discover today that there are two kinds of faith: common sense faith and saving faith. By the end of the sermon you will know if you have one or both kinds of faith. And you’ll be able to know for sure…
Value of Treasure
When going on a treasure hunt what is important? What is worth bringing? Just think of what you’ll do when you get that treasure! Come and discover the character worth seeking, the One who sees you worth anything and everything. Relevant Verses: Jeremiah 29:13; Ephesians 2:1; Isaiah 1:5-6; 2 Timothy 2:26; Isaiah 1:18; Luke 14:33; Isaiah 53:12 “Value of Treasure” preached by Elder Mark Everett on July 30tj, 2016 at the Mount Vernon Seventh-day Adventist Church in Mount Vernon, Washington
Transparent Hearts
Deep heartfelt confession can be both the sweetest and the most bitter experience life brings our way. When everything in us screams “hide or be hurt!” yet our silence makes our bones waste away all day long (Psalm 32:3) we have a choice to make. We can try to disguise our failures and weaknesses through blame and shame, or we can be transparent and real, walking humbly with our God. (Micah 6:8) What will it take for our trembling hearts…
