This Morning 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.

Eureka is the title of the message on September 6th. Our message for our worship service will have a bit of a Western flavor to go with our "Parking Lot" party. Jesus says this when we come to God, "Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ..." (John 17:3). We all know that the western gold miners would shout out Eureka as they have found gold, but it is when we find Jesus is when we have truly found something.
