This Morning the message is Who Are We #11: Stewardship. While God made this world, He entrusted us to take care of his creation. The Bible says, "each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms" (1 Peter 4:10). We also show stewardship by taking care of ourselves by living a life of temperance, and being faithful in giving back to God a portion of what He has given to us.
Next Week the message is Who Are We # 12: The Second Coming. We believe that understanding and believing in the second coming of Jesus plays a crucial role in being a Seventh-day Adventist Christian. Paul wrote, "For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God..." (I Thessalonians 4:16). This text tells us that the whole world will know when he does come, and we also believe that our lives are changed when we live with a mindset that Jesus can come at any moment.
