In a classic biblical story one of the "Hothead" brothers became exhibit "A" of the upside down kingdom. And the way it happened is the way it still does.
06/07/2008
There's a character trait of sanctification that we're never invited in Scripture to pray for directly, but to work out on our own. At the intersection of two powerful biblical stories, discover the formula for achieving this essential trait, and prayer language appropriate to the occasion.
06/14/2008
The two morally crisscrossing tales make the vital point. And it's driven home by the secret chapter of the second tale that reveals a hard pathway that we want very much not to travel but which leads to an outcome that we very much want.
06/21/2008
Ever thought of the Almighty God as the most humble being in the universe? If it's true, maybe that's why humility in His children is such a big deal to Him. Consider a one-line formula guaranteed to expel personal pride and self worship.

"Speed Friending" and Dulcimer Concert

The Family Life Committee invites our church family to get to know each other better!

Then we'll eat a light meal together and end with a captivating hammered dulcimer concert. Ted Yoder will be sharing an eclectic set of impressive originals, fun pop songs, and moving hymns.

Offering for June 14, 2025

Women's Ministries Offering

Our offering today helps provide opportunities for Adventist women of North America to create deeper connections with other women—connections both within and beyond our church walls whose ultimate purpose is to invite every woman closer to Jesus. We form connections like one young woman found in a group started by the women of her church for mothers of young children. “This mom’s group has ignited my journey of finding faith in motherhood,” she said. “Knowing I am prayed over daily, and having Godly mentor moms in my life means more than I can tell you.”

We form connections like those of the dedicated women who lead an after-school life skills group for teen girls in their neighborhood, providing essential help for a brighter future. We form connections like evangelistic meetings spearheaded by women bringing a message of hope and wholeness to their communities. These and many more touch points are made possible through the women’s ministries offering. Additionally, this offering helps provide funds for leadership training, equipping women of all ages to better serve Jesus in a variety of ways in their homes, churches, and beyond. Thank you for generously supporting the Adventist women of North America in our mission to make a tangible difference for eternity.
