Early in life, we're taught the harsh realities of the world: touch a hot stove, get burned; jump from a high ledge, risk injury; and death, sadly, feels final. Life often unfolds with predictable outcomes given how we understand the natural and physics. But then there's God, and we’re taught He can operate outside the predictable and learned outcomes in life. It’s these understandings of the ordinary and extraordinary that often create a faith crisis—when we need God to act supernaturally in the natural realm. Does He see us? Does He care? Why doesn’t He answer our prayers? This Sabbath we delve into the remarkable story of the Shunammite woman and her miracle son’s death in 2 Kings 4. How does she handle her crisis of faith, when the extraordinary and ordinary collide in tragic fashion? Don’t miss the next chapter in our Next | New | Now series entitled: Extraordinary.

Sabbath Worship Experience | "The Right Relationship"
May 4, 2024 • Pastor Jonathan Henderson
Jesus’ first recorded miracle in the gospels was unplanned. In fact, it was seemingly not even His Father’s will. It was, however, His mother’s will. So why did it happen? This week we start a two-part message on the wedding event in John 2, unpacking the most interesting dynamic between Jesus and His mother, Mary. Join us for the message entitled: “The Right Relationship.”
Sabbath Worship Experience | This Is Our Story
April 27, 2024 • Ben Garcia, Associate Pastor
When reading any story details matter, setting, characters, conflict, climax, narration, and even the unexpected plot twist, which draws us further into the narrative. Combining all these elements reveal a central message, a theme that tells the reader what the story is ultimately about; we approach reading the Bible similarly. There is beauty in admiring the texture and details of a tree, but the view of the forest is an inspiring panoramic perspective. Join us this Sabbath as we rediscover that big picture story found in Scripture, the need of a Savior.

April 20, 2024 • Pastor Jonathan Henderson
As we come to the final message of the series on attachment, what have you learned about your particular attachment style? Is it one of the multiple types of insecure attachment styles? If so, how do you see it play out in your relationship with God? This week we discover what we must do to have a secure attachment with God by looking at how Boaz approaches his relationship with Ruth. Make sure not to miss out!
