"To all God's beloved ... called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ" (Romans 1:7, NRSV). Amen.

This Morning the message is Let's Be Friends.  This sermon will focus on the importance for friendship. The Bible says, "Anyone who withholds kindness from a friend forsakes the fear of the Almighty" (Job 6:14). As brothers and sisters in Christ, we are bound together and we need each other.

Next Week the message is The World in Need.  Our final sermon of the series will remind us of our commission to be a friend to the world. Paul writes, "I pray that your partnership with us in the faith may be effective in deepening your understanding of every good thing we share for the sake of Christ" (Philemon 1:6).  Sharing our faith could not only change the life of the receiver but also the one who is sharing.

The annual production of Reflections at the Cross, hosted by San Gabriel Academy, will be presented on the evening of Friday, March 13, at 7:00 p.m. at the White Memorial Seventh-day Adventist Church. This special event includes powerful music and dramatic presentations. This production takes a look at the lives of twelve people who watched Christ die and is based on Leslie Hardinge's book, "These Watched Him Die." Bring your family, friends, and neighbors.

Weekly Bible Passage: We are concentrating on learning Bible passages in 2015. Each week you will get a Bible passage on a business card to review and learn. Check out the graphic version of the memory verses on Facebook or in our mobile app.

January 31, 2015

Welcome, brothers and sisters in Christ, as we gather for praise and prayer, Word and worship.

This Morning the message is Living in Peace. In the Sermon on the Mount, we hear Jesus say, "Don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself."  We believe in the power of God and his love for us, so our last sermon of this series will hopefully show us how to cope with our worries by ultimately trusting in God.

Next Week the message is You are Never Alone.  On this Sabbath, Bill Aumack will kickoff the series on Friendship. Many people are lonely, even when surrounded by others.  But God never leaves us alone, He is always with us. The Bible tell us one of God's name is Immanuel, which means God is with us. We will explore what does this promise mean for us?

Weekly Bible Passage: We are concentrating on learning Bible passages in 2015. Each week you will get a Bible passage on a business card to review and learn. We provided a snap ring so you can keep your Bible texts together. Reviewing the passage one or two times a day for 7 days should commit it to memory. At the end of the year you will have learned 52 new verses.

January 24, 2015

God invites us to come before him in worship -- and so we do this day. Let us focus solely on him for this brief time, to hear his Word and glorify our Savior, Jesus Christ.

This Morning the message is Where Are Your Treasures? This is a message on our giving to the Lord and how it reflects on where our treasures are.  The reality is that everything that we have comes from God, and I believe he gives us so we can learn the gift of generosity.

Next Week the message is Living in Peace. In the Sermon on the Mount, we hear Jesus say, "Don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself."  We believe in the power of God and his love for us, so our last sermon of this series will hopefully show us how to cope with our worries by ultimately trusting in God.
