    More Than G P S (Free Will In God’s Plan)

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 11, 2025
     | 82 views

    God lovingly planned salvation for everyone in Christ but never forces anyone’s choice. "More Than GPS" shows that His foreknowledge guides without controlling, calling us to live assured and freely abide in Jesus.

    Preface: This message explores the biblical theme of God’s plan and human freedom from a Seventh-day Adventist perspective. Christians across history have understood predestination and salvation security in different ways. The aim here is not debate but encouragement—helping all who read or ...read more

    The God Of Jonah

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 18, 2022
     | 2,550 views

    The story of Jonah is so exciting that some people believe it is no more than a fairy tale filled with exaggerations.

    When it comes to exaggeration, we are reminded of the story of the little boy who was known for his problem with exaggeration. He came home from school one day and said, "Mom, I saw a dog as big as an elephant." The mother said, "Johnny, haven't I told you a billion times not ...read more

    God is not a showman putting on shows. He has purpose for all that He does.

    Acts 4:31 And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness. Frivolous miracles? When I woke up this morning this thought came to me, does God do miracles that have no ...read more

    The tongue is a destructive force that can spew the stench of a rotten heart, but we are called to speak only what is constructive to others. We need to be thinking about our words and changing our attitudes about people while God transforms our lives.

    Bible passages from the NIV, NASV and King James from the BibleGateway.com Introduction Dale Carnegie wrote in a book he published in 1936, “How to Win Friends & Influence People,” “But gradually, as the seasons passed, I realized that as sorely as these adults needed training ...read more

     | 16,059 views

    The grace of God is always present and always sufficient, but sometimes we forget our need for his grace and we do not rediscover it until we are faced with circumstances beyond our control.

    2 Co 12:6-10 Vs 9 (My Grace is sufficient for thee, and my strength is made perfect in weakness) I believe that we in America are in a time of rediscovery Discover: Find, To see, to recognize.

    Many people, including Christians, struggle greatly with the Goodness of God. They get their ideas about Him from circumstances and difficulties, rather than from the life of Jesus Christ. This message can help refocus people to the considering the proper evidence.

    The Goodness of God Pastor Eric J. Hanson January 29, 2023 Read Matthew 19:16-17a. One of the first childhood prayers that many of us learned, went like this: “God is good. God is great. Let us thank Him for this food. Amen.” It is easy to smile, remembering the childlike simplicity of this little ...read more

    Things that control us, by the power of Christ, we can control.

    “Then They Came” Mark 2:1-12 - The Bible is full of real and imperfect people. Noah was a drunk; Abraham was too old and a liar; Sarah laughed at God’s promises; Isaac was a daydreamer; Jacob was a liar; Leah was ugly.

     | 237 views

    Big Idea: Saul grasped for control, while David trusted God’s timing. True kingship is not measured by force but by surrender to the Lord.

    They say, “timing is everything.” And you don’t have to be a musician to know that’s true — although if you’ve ever sung the wrong verse while everyone else moved on to the chorus, you know how awkward bad timing can be. Think about how much of life depends on timing. Arriving five minutes late to ...read more

    Holy Spirit Love For All

     | 4,386 views

    Saints do not let anyone tell you that you are a second class Christian because you do not speak in tongues or walk on fire or survive snake bites. Such testing and qualifying today is not of the Spirit but is of men not God. Without love I am nothing.

    Holy Spirit Love for All 1 Corinthians 12:4-11 Acts 10:44-48 Have you ever noticed that this Christian life does not always go according to the script that you and I think it should follow? Just like when you go to a live theater performance people forget their lines. Sometimes we as ...read more
