After a year’s worth of good, hard work, some employers like to provide a year-end bonus for their employees.

The Rebel Returns Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 30, 2021

Romantic And Religious Roses Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 17, 2021

It is no wonder that our Lord is identified with flowers. He is called the Rose of Sharon, and the Lily of the Valley.

Ernest Hemmingway wrote about the experience of Mungo Park, who, on one of his travel adventures, got lost in the vast wilderness of an African desert. He was all alone, and so dead tired he could not go on. His legs were numbed, and he gave up, and laid down to die. He opened his eyes, and right ...read more

The Wonders Of His Love Series

Contributed by Dorothy Lam on Jan 11, 2023

How did Jesus coming as a baby mean that there would be peace on earth and goodwill for us? My journey through Advent has brought me back to the manger where God shows up in the flesh, where the God-Man is all potential, just lying there. It's an offer. It's an invitation.

Babies change everything, or at least a lot of things change for a family when a baby is born. For mothers, a selfless devotion to her child kicks in. Life revolves around what the baby needs, not her own needs. New fathers find a place in their hearts that was not there before. A sense of pride ...read more

Identity In Christ PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 16, 2025

God gives us a new identity in Christ, freeing us from old labels and shame, and calling us beloved, forgiven, and truly new.

There’s a name tag on the table for every one of us. Maybe it’s not paper and ink, maybe it’s old memories and new mistakes, report cards and résumés, whispers and headlines. Labels stick. Some feel like tattoos. Others like Post-its that refuse to peel away. Have you noticed how fast the world ...read more

The Silence Is Broken Series

Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 17, 2026

The universe is not silent. Jesus Christ has been lifted up, and the voice of God now stands over every life as revealed meaning, not self-created purpose.

The modern world tells us a story. It rarely announces it out loud. It doesn’t need to. It simply assumes it — and we absorb it by living inside it. The story says the universe is ultimately quiet. That there is no voice behind it. No intention beneath it. No meaning given — only meaning made. We ...read more

A Peculiar People: On The Road

Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 26, 2026

Faithfulness is tested not by abstract obedience, but by whether truth walks with mercy among those who bear its greatest cost.

Adventists know how to talk about obedience. We are fluent in it. We have inherited a vocabulary shaped by commandment-keeping, faithfulness under pressure, and clarity in a confused world. Obedience, for us, is not an abstract ideal. It is a marker of identity. It tells us who we are and, just as ...read more

Thyatira — When Faithfulness Is Subverted Series

Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 31, 2026

Thyatira warns that faithfulness can be redirected when tolerance replaces discernment and Christ’s authority is quietly shared with other voices.

By the time we arrive at Thyatira, something has already changed in us. Ephesus taught us that love can cool without rebellion. Smyrna taught us that faithfulness can be costly without being fragile. Pergamum taught us that proximity to power can quietly rearrange loyalty. So when we come to ...read more
