Offering

Mimics can be irritating; imitators, entertaining. But the seven-faceted imitation-invitation of Scripture is the focal point of the temple’s message to our generation. Miss this, and you miss God’s special appeal and promise.

Through a Crack in the Door
Through a fleeting apocalyptic vision John glimpsed the mission control center of the universe focused on a resplendent Being seated on a throne, teeming with life and sound, yet turned and responsive to the slightest whisper on earth. Discover four great realities of the temple.

God on the Docket
Consider a court scene the likes of which has never been, with stakes that have never been higher. You won’t understand its full impact until you discover the identities and roles of the key players in this drama.
09/12/2009
The Cleansing
The most solemn and momentous day of the year for ancient Israel may hold more parallels for God’s people today than many people realize, given our own momentous time in the history of our planet.
09/26/2009
The Temple on Yom Kippur
Rightly understood and applied to these end times, Yom Kippur has a striking parallel to American Football, which makes it especially relevant to every one of us.
10/03/2009
Outside the Curtain, Inside the Camp
What did devout believers do differently on the Old Testament’s Day of Atonement than they did on other days? Could the two biblical clues to the answer suggest some radical differences that should be occurring in the lives of believers who live in the final Day-of-Atonement era of this world’s history?
10/10/2009
The Two Goats
Though the centuries-old theological controversy still rages over their identity, the two goats involved in the ancient Day of Atonement ritual may seem far removed from the practical issues of our daily lives—until Warren Buffet enters the picture, that is!
10/17/2009
Sex in the Temple: What’s So Gay about That?
It’s one of the most difficult subjects of our day. But not one without clarity and, in many cases, without cost, as two biblical bookends to this subject make clear.

Annual Sacrifice for Global Mission

Global Mission is the frontline mission arm of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Through the use of wholistic ministry, Global Mission pioneers are bringing light to cities of the world, with a special focus on the 10/40 Window. Since Global Mission began three decades ago, we’ve reached many new people groups and entered new countries. “I Will Go” is the strategic plan of the Adventist church for 2020-2025.

There are missionaries working right now in places like Sri Lanka, Malawi, Indonesia, Cambodia, and veiled countries where preaching the gospel is against the law. There are many mission challenges, because in some places where there is no Adventist presence, it takes about two years of sharing the love of Jesus with non-Christians who live in these areas before they open their hearts to Christ.

Please give sacrificially to support these missionaries and pray for these missionaries and their families. If you feel called to be a missionary there are many opportunities to work in unreached people groups. Visit vividfaith.com to explore missionary opportunities.

We invite you to GO! Go through prayer! Go through giving! Go through service!

Honoring Military Persons

This week we want to honor our military people-Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marines, Navy-presently serving and who have served in the past, Seventh-day Adventist or not. They have all taken an oath to "support and defend' the U.S. Constitution, for which many have been wounded or given their lives. November 11 is the national day of recognition of the living. We thank each of you for your service and pray that God will sustain, guide, and protect you as you live the oath you took, "so help (you) God." In our international community, we must also recognize service for other countries. Let us all remember them in our prayers.
