"Until He Comes," Part Four with Pastor Chad Stuart - August 29, 2026
Send us Fan Mail Signs are helpful; they help us get where we need to go. As Adventists, we have our eyes set on the future Advent of Jesus. It’s right in our name! Matthew 24 shares several signs that this earth is drawing ever closer to “the end.” These signs aren’t given to scare us or make us...
-
"Until He Comes," Part Three with Pastor Chad Stuart - August 22, 2026
Send us Fan Mail In the first two messages of the series, Pastor Chad spoke about the importance of personal discipline and the awareness we need of our own condition to avoid spiritual sleep. This week, in the third sermon of this four-part series, he'll examine what the Bible says about "being...

"Until He Comes," Part One - Pastor Chad Stuart - August 8, 2026
Send us Fan Mail As Adventists, we spend a lot of time thinking about Jesus' future return, and rightly so. But in the New Testament Book of Matthew, we find Jesus himself spending a lot of time focused on the present value of living out our faith. Listen in as Pastor Chad begins a four-part…

"Why We Do Hard Things" with Pastor Chad Stuart - Aug. 1, 2026
Send us Fan Mail Why do we exist? No, really? Why are we here in this location, at this particular moment in time? Do we believe it to be divinely appointed? Or is it just a coincidence? When we opened our new school building in 2011, it was the capstone of more than 15 years of planning and...
-
"Take a Seat" with Pastor Erwin Nanasi - July 25, 2026
Send us Fan Mail An open chair. A question. "Is this seat taken?" We all know what it's like to take a seat. In a classroom. An airplane. A theater. Around a dinner table. Not every seat invites the same questions, or requires the same answers. Which seat do you choose most often? What does your...
-
"The Cost of Hurry" with Pastor Erwin Nanasi - July 18, 2026
Send us Fan Mail Jesus was never rushed, even when He was busy. He consistently made time for interruptions, seeing them as opportunities to love. What does His example teach us about balancing the pressures of everyday life with the call to show compassion to those around us? Listen to this...
-
"Pitching Tents" with Pastor John Gonzalez - July 11, 2026
Send us Fan Mail **Our apologies, the audio cut out, and we missed the first 15 seconds of the sermon. It's a fantastic message, so we decided to share it anyway. You may have heard it said that, as Christians, we're called to live in a way that is "in the world" but not "of the world." Pitching...

"The Privilege of Strangers" A Special Message on the 250th Birthday of America - Pastor Chad Stuart - July 4, 2026
Send us Fan Mail July 4, 2026, marks the 250th anniversary of the Great American experiment. As we consider why and how it began, it’s worth also taking a look at what the Bible says about how it will end. Not to focus on the end itself, but to ask ourselves how we, as residents of this kingdom,...
-
"Talking Back to God" with Pastor Kandace Zollman - June 20, 2026
Send us Fan Mail One of the key attributes of any relationship is a respectful, open, and honest dialogue. It's no different when we talk with God. This week, Pastor Kandace Zollman examines the life of Moses, someone who had very direct and sometimes confrontational conversations with God on a...
-
"Broken Beyond Repair?" with Pastor John Gonzalez - June 13, 2026
Send us Fan Mail If we’re honest with ourselves as we look around at the state of the world, it doesn’t take an observant person to see that there is much brokenness. If we continue that honesty and assess our own hearts, perhaps we can admit that there is brokenness in us, too. How do we…

"The Women Behind the Exodus" with Pastor Chad Stuart - May 9, 2026
Send us Fan Mail You might be familiar with the prophet Moses and the Old Testament narrative of the Jewish exodus from Egypt. But there's a story behind the narrative that is probably less familiar. On Mother's Day weekend, we're looking at the women of the Bible who directly impacted—and helped...
-
"Fire in My Bones" with Pastor Chad Stuart - April 25, 2026
Send us Fan Mail This weekend marks thirty years since Pastor Chad became a follower of Jesus. Following Jesus has always come with a price—and that price is rising. In our culture, following Jesus means living by a value system the world finds irreconcilable with its own. That friction is not...
-
"Led by Love" with Pastor James Winegardner - April 18, 2026
Send us Fan Mail The disciples were struggling with Jesus' words. He'd foretold His death and was telling them what would come next. In the New Testament book of James (James 15:7-15), Jesus introduces His friends to the Holy Spirit—the Advocate or Helper (depending on your version) before laying...
-
"What the Neighbors Saw" with Pastor Chad Stuart - April 11, 2026
Send us Fan Mail The early church didn't start with an outreach strategy. They simply lived in a manner so different that their neighbors couldn't look away. From the plague-ridden streets of Alexandria to the court of a pagan emperor, history continues to tell the same story: when a community...
-
"No Place He Won't Go" with Pastor Chad Stuart - April 4, 2026
Send us Fan Mail Where do you go when you're in the darkest place? David asked that question in Psalm 139, and the answer was revealed through the events we remember this and every Easter weekend. The cross and the resurrection prove there is no valley, no shadow, no place of fear or grief that…

"People: A Worshiping Community" - God With Us: Part 3 - Pr. Erwin Nanasi - March 21, 2026

"Time: God's Palace in Time" - God With Us: Part 2 - Pr. Erwin Nanasi - March 14, 2026
Send us Fan Mail There are 24 hours in a day, 7 days in a week, 52 weeks in a year. Time is given equally to all. The difference is not how much time we have, but how we honor the time we're given. When God gave us the Sabbath, Scripture tells us that He sanctified the seventh day as a holy sign,...
-
"Place: Where God Meets Us" - God With Us: Part 1 - Pr. Erwin Nanasi - March 7, 2026
Send us Fan Mail In John 4, Jesus declares that worship is not confined to a mountain or a city. Instead, God meets us in our stories—where He engages with our longing, loneliness, guilt, and shame. It's from a place of nearness that He calls us to worship Him in spirit and truth. When God draws...
-
"Clean Feet, Renewed Heart" with Pastor Chad Stuart - February 28, 2026
Send us Fan Mail The Christian practice of communion involves taking bread and juice to rededicate ourselves to Jesus. It harkens back to the upper room (Luke 22:18-20) when Jesus invites his disciples to "do this in remembrance of Me." But there's a related practice called the Ordinance of...

"Be Present" - Pastor Chad Stuart - Resolutions That Matter For Others: Part Five - Jan. 31, 2026
Send us Fan Mail We live in an age of being everywhere—except where we truly are. Your body may be at the dinner table, but your mind is already thinking about tomorrow. You’re looking at your children, but your heart is on that email from work (you know the one). You’re sitting in worship, but...
-
"Be a Singer" with Pastor Chad Stuart - Resolutions That Matter for Others: Part Four - Jan. 24, 2026
Send us Fan Mail The book of Colossians tells us that we're to "let the Word of God dwell in us richly," and that one of the ways we do this is by singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs (Colossians 3:16). In this sermon series, Resolutions that Matter for Others, we're reminded that...
-
"Be a Neighbor" with Pastor Chad Stuart - Resolutions That Matter for Others, Part Three - Jan. 17, 2026
Send us Fan Mail The power and genius of The Great Commandment (given by Jesus in Luke 10:25-28) is that it’s so simple but also extremely powerful when acted upon. This week, Pastor Chad will focus on the second part, "Love your neighbor as yourself" (v. 27b), as he calls us to live it out in…

"Be Generous" with Pastor Chad Stuart - Resolutions That Matter for Others, Part Two - Jan. 10, 2026

-
"Be Kind" with Pastor Chad Stuart - Resolutions That Matter for Others: Part One - Jan. 3, 2026
Send us Fan Mail While society celebrates random acts of kindness, biblical kindness demands far more and will cost us our greatest treasure: self. Why? The Bible tells us that true kindness isn't just sprinkling in a few kind gestures; it's a lifestyle that requires complete surrender to Jesus!...

When No Peace is a Gift - Let There Be Peace in Me, Part Four - Pastor Chad Stuart - Dec. 27, 2025
Send us Fan Mail We've spent the past three weeks talking about the extraordinary peace that comes from walking with God. However, sometimes God may allow a lack of peace to get our attention and help us change course. How can we recognize when our lack of peace is a gift? And what then? Listen…

Peace in the Waiting - Let There Be Peace in Me, Part Three - Pastor Chad Stuart - Dec. 20, 2025
Send us Fan Mail As a kid, the worst part of Christmas was waiting for Christmas morning. But if we stop to think about it, getting to that first Christmas morning took thousands of years! Waiting is part of the human and Christian experiences. Just as they waited for the first coming of Jesus…

Peace from Offense - Let There Be Peace in Me, Part Two - Pastor Chad Stuart - Dec. 13, 2025
Send us Fan Mail For many, the Christmas story feels warm and beautiful, but from Jesus' perspective, it meant a lifetime of gossip, misunderstanding, and offense. Yet, He was able to walk in peace. Worship with us as we continue our December sermon series "Let There Be Peace in Me." In this…

MacGyver Your Life, with Pastor Chad Stuart - Nov. 29, 2025
Send us Fan Mail Joyful contentment receives and enjoys what God gives today. But how do we build contentment? By gratefully recognizing God’s gifts in your work, table, and season of life! We're called to steward (not strive to “maximize”) the good and grace around us—even amidst our…

A Masterclass in Remembering God's Love - Pastor Chad Stuart - Nov. 22, 2025
Send us Fan Mail God doesn't just tell us about His love for us. Throughout human history, He's endeavored to show us His love. And yet...we forget. But when we do, He again reminds us of His love and tells us to rehearse how He has shown it. Why does God go to such great lengths to show us His...

Counterfeits: Part 5, Leaving Babylon, Coming Home - Pastor Chad Stuart - Nov. 15, 2025
Send us Fan Mail Satan works to persuade us that this world—Babylon’s system of power, pleasure, and false worship—is home (Rev. 17–18; 14:8; 1 John 2:15–17). However, Scripture tells us that this is patently untrue and that our citizenship is in heaven! God’s call is clear: come out of...
-
Counterfeits, Part 4: The Dragon's Altar Call - Pastor Chad Stuart - Nov. 8, 2025
Send us Fan Mail Scripture warns that before the close of history a false revival will sweep across Christianity—marked by “all power and signs and lying wonders” (2 Thess 2:9; Matt 24:24; Rev 13:13; 16:14). It will appear to be Spirit-filled, electrifying, and will attract multitudes—but it will...

Counterfeits, Part 3: The Seals of God and the Mark of the Beast, with Pastor Chad Stuart - Nov. 1, 2025
Send us Fan Mail Scripture tells us that God seals His people in two ways: through the Gospel of Jesus at the time of salvation, and apocalyptically at the end of time. In both cases, we are sealed through our trust in the truth of the Gospel as evidenced by our obedience to God. Like the many...

Counterfeits, Part 2: The Unholy Trinity, with Pastor Chad Stuart - Oct. 25, 2025
Send us Fan Mail The Bible tells us that a counterfeit ‘trinity’ is hard at work right now. Every Christian needs to recognize these counterfeits! Here's why it matters: Counterfeits don’t just confuse prophecy; they redirect worship! The aim of the devil is not merely political power but…

Counterfeits, Part 1: The Great Counterfeiter, with Pastor Chad Stuart - Oct. 18, 2025
Send us Fan Mail A counterfeit is an imitation of something valuable or important, made with the intention to deceive or defraud. This week, we launch “Counterfeits,” a five-part series designed to help us walk wisely and hopefully in God’s truth—now and into the future. Our first message begins…

Ordinary People, Extraordinary Mission with Pastor Erwin Nanasi - Oct. 11, 2025
Send us Fan Mail God establishes, equips, empowers, and encourages ordinary people for His extraordinary work. In Matthew 9:37–10:4, Jesus calls His disciples to pray for laborers in the harvest and then sends them out with power to heal and proclaim the kingdom. Is this same power still…

The Power of Last Words, with Pastor Crystal E. Ward - Oct. 4, 2025
Send us Fan Mail There's something special about someone's last words.

"I Walked Away" with Dr. Danaran Frederick - Sept. 27, 2025
Send us Fan Mail As we think about our daily lives, let's ask ourselves: "Are we walking towards Christ or away from Him?" The truth is, we're always doing one or the other. God allows and sometimes even sends events and circumstances to draw us back to Himself. Sometimes, what he allows brings…

Bridges, Part 4: He Invites Us to a Meal, with Pastor Chad Stuart - Sept. 20, 2025
Send us Fan Mail There's something sacred about sharing a meal with someone. Scripture reveals that many of Jesus' most significant conversations with people took place over food. Was it really about the food? Or was Jesus modeling a practice—in this case, eating together—as an invitation to get…
