First Things First
Being Seventh-day Adventists distinguishes us from the rest of the Christian world. But we are first Christians, then Seventh-day Adventists. In sharing our Adventist faith, we should always put first things first.

Seventh Things Second
Our most distinguishing characteristic is built right into our name: Seventh-day Adventists. What relationship does the seventh day have to our devotion to Jesus as our Lord? How does it enhance that devotion and make it contagious?

The Ghosts of Easters Past
Nothing is more certain about life in this world than that it will end. But Easter says the end of our lives here is not the end of the story. The Contagious Adventist view of death and beyond.

Fit as a Fiddle

Follow the Finger
The mission of Christ is the mission of Seventh-day Adventists. But before grace can be shared contagiously, it must first be experienced. Are you experiencing it?
04/27/2002
