Sabbath Worship Service | Next, New, Now: "Slavishly Gracious"

February 17, 2024 • Pastor Jonathan Henderson

Though she remains nameless in the Bible, I’m gonna call her Gracie. Gracie’s story is a tragedy of sorts. She’s taken away from her family during a Syrian raid, that most likely cost the lives of her parents and siblings. Gracie is then forced to wait on the wife of her captor (also likely the murderer of her parents). Though it felt as if God had abandoned her, justice seemingly strikes when Gracie’s enslaver falls deathly ill. Yet instead of sitting back and taking delight in the suffering of someone who caused so much suffering, this young lady defies all logic by making a suggestion that leads to one of greatest Bible stories of all time. Don’t miss this inspirational story as we continue our sermon series Next | New | Now.

Sabbath Worship Service | Next, New, Now: "Next Man Up!"

January 13, 2024 • Pastor Jonathan Henderson

New year, new you? Much easier said than done, right? Already a week in, and your new year resolutions are already being tested. As we begin this year, a very special year I might add for our church (centennial year), we begin a new series from the life of the Prophet Elisha called "Next, New, Now.” Our goal is to inspire and equip you to not be merely a person of resolutions but a person who is resolute. Join us tomorrow as we begin this journey with our first message of the series entitled “Next Man Up!"

Sabbath Worship Service | Next, New, Now: "Never Again"

January 20, 2024 • Pastor Jonathan Henderson

If you had a chance to make a wrong right, and guarantee that it would remain right, would you take it? Elisha is presented with an opportunity to end a generational curse with a formulaic solution that I believe still works today. Want to know what it is? Join us this Sabbath to find out as we continue with part two of our Next | New | Now Series entitled “Never Again."

Sabbath Worship Service | Next, New, Now: "Bearable"

January 27, 2024 • Pastor Jonathan Henderson

Next | New | Now: "Bearable" It’s not everyday you hear on the news about 42 children being torn to pieces by two bears. Well, it’s actually only been in the news once, and that’s in the second chapter of the second book of Kings. Tragic, right? Makes you want to pray for the families of the children? What if I told you God was seemingly behind the “grizzly” attack? And the reason, “bear in mind,” was because of a little name-calling. No one was hurt by the teasing, except maybe Elisha’s ego. It’s stories like this that make the Bible almost “unbearable” for the average reader. Has even pushed many to be agnostic or even atheists. Our faith will be tested this week as we dissect one of the most misunderstood stories in the Bible. Join us this Sabbath for the third message in our Next | New | Now Series entitled “Bearable.”
