More In This Series

The Refreshing "Delusion"
There may not be a straight line connection between Richard Dawkins' best seller, "The God Delusion" and the day God was "refreshed," but by connecting the dots we might discover a vital purpose of one of God's greatest gifts to the human race.
01/19/2008
The Three Act Play
Comes the challenge of a young, atheistic-leaning mind, "if God is real, let this sermon series impress me!" Could it be that in a surprising twist God's gift of holy time addresses this deep-seated desire to know the ultimate truth?
02/02/2008
Legacy of the Bastard Science
Put the fourth commandment, the pseudo science of astrology and a powerful emperor in a political blender and what to you get? The first Sunday law. But not the last!
03/01/2008
The Case of Dr. Eck
It was the clinching argument that won the day in court, but in God's eyes didn't change a thing. It's an argument still being advanced today, and with the same effect.
03/08/2008
A Test Very Simple and Highly Visible
How do you test worship or loyalty? The biblical precedent answers: very simply, highly visibly. So, while the Bible's description of the last battle will come to many as an unsuspecting surprise, the final test associated with it shouldn't.

Spanish Sabbath School Class

 Sabbath School is the perfect setting to rediscover the power of Bible study and prayer. In one of the most diverse campuses in the nation, we aspire to allow all our church members, students, and guests to study and learn in their language. To further this, we are establishing the Spanish Sabbath School Class so all our Spanish-speaking brothers and sisters can join us in learning together in our weekly Sabbath School. With that, please grab your Spanish sabbath school lesson and join us starting Sabbath, January 4, 2025.

Care for Cuba

A group of students from Andrews University are preparing to embark on a life-changing mission in March of 2025. They will engage in evangelism, health care, and community outreach in Cuba.
