SERMON PREPARATION: In preparation for today’s message, please read Chapter 6 of Ty Gibson’s book, “Refresh, Jesus — the Essence of our Faith.” On page 64 Ty writes, “Jesus faced the prospect of eternal death; … he was literally willing to die forever and never be reunited with His Father to save us. … When Jesus gave His life on the cross, He demonstrated with astounding clarity and beauty that God literally loves all others more than His own existence. This is the incredible truth the Seventh-day Adventist understanding of death and hell opens to view. This is the truth that the false doctrines of natural immortality and eternal torment block from view."
SABBATH SCHOOL REFLECTION QUESTIONS:
Have you ever considered how false teachings regarding death and hell impact our understanding of Christ’s sacrifice for us on the cross?
When you have experienced the weight of guilt and shame for acting in unloving ways in the past, how has God helped you experience forgiveness and healing.
SABBATH PRAYER TIME: Join us in the “Engine Room” below the church platform for half an hour of prayer and reflection at 9:15 a.m.
WEDNESDAY PRAYER TIME: Join us on Zoom at 7 p.m. for study and discussion of the book of Matthew, followed by a time of prayer.
AAF LADIES BOOK CLUB: Monday, April 13, 6 p.m., location TBD. The next book is "Heart of a Stranger: An Unlikely Rabbi's Story of Faith, Identity, and Belonging," a 2025 memoir by Rabbi Angela Buchdahl, that chronicles her journey as the first Asian American rabbi and cantor.
SAVE THE DATE: Our spring AAF work bee is scheduled for Sunday, April 19, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thank you for marking your calendars!
MISSION PROJECT: Amber E has been serving as a student missionary in the Philippines since August 2025. A total of 10 missionaries, including students from WWU and Southern Adventist University, are there until May 2026. Some are volunteering as medical assistants in the clinic, while others are helping in construction or ministry. As they near the end of their service at Pagudpud Adventist Wellness Center (PAWC), they are reaching out to as many people as possible to meet the goal of a fundraiser they just started! This fundraiser is dedicated to the clinic (PAWC) and will go toward various projects: lab equipment, medical mission supplies, and new transportation for both the staff and current/new SMs. Please visit this link to find more information as well as a video. Amber says, “Anything—whether a donation, prayer, or simply spreading the word—would help tremendously. Thank you so much for your consideration.”
LUNCH BUNCH SIGNUP: Our church family strives to provide a meal for our visitors and guests each week following the service. Please invite a friend and sign up together to prepare food and host our guests! You will meet the nicest people!!
