Christ Object Lessons: Gain that is Loss

In Ellen White's Christ’s Object Lessons, the chapter "Loss That Is Gain" explores the story of the rich young ruler who turned away from Jesus because he couldn't part with his wealth. Jesus asked him to give up his earthly treasures not to deprive him, but to offer him something far greater: eternal life, true peace, and a lasting purpose. The chapter reminds us that anything we surrender for Christ is small compared to the infinite blessings He gives in return.

Sometimes God asks us to let go of things that hold us back so we can receive true joy and freedom. When we trade our selfish ambitions or material comforts for a relationship with God, what feels like a loss becomes our greatest gain. We would love to have you join us this Sabbath for church as we worship together, explore God's Word, and discover the true riches found in a life with Jesus!

Ministery of Healing: Danger in Speculative Knowledge

In her classic work The Ministry of Healing, Ellen G. White dedicates the chapter "Danger in Speculative Knowledge" to a timeless warning against getting lost in groundless theories, human philosophy, and subtle theological speculations that distract from practical Christian living. She emphasizes that true wisdom begins with reverent faith and a personal, transformative relationship with God. Rather than pursuing speculative ideas that lead to skepticism or spiritual detachment, we are encouraged to anchor our minds upon the clear, foundational truths of Scripture.

If you are looking for a community to study God’s Word deeply and grow in authentic faith together, we warmly invite you to join us for church this Sabbath! Whether you are seeking spiritual renewal or simply eager to fellowship with others, you will find a welcoming atmosphere centred on worship and biblical truth. We would love to worship alongside you this Saturday!

As October 31 marks Reformation Day, a pivotal moment in history when the church began returning to the clear truths of God’s Word. Understanding our history helps us grow deeper in our faith, and we would love for you to join us this Sabbath for church as we worship together and explore God's Word as a community. Read on to discover how the Protestant Reformation began, why it shaped our world, and how its message of faith and grace still matters for us today.

To live a life of service and grow in character, we must first truly know God as He has revealed Himself. In this chapter from Ellen G. White’s The Ministry of Healing, "A True Knowledge of God," we explore how the wonders of nature and the life, sacrifice, and character of Jesus Christ display the boundless love and personal presence of our Creator. As we behold Him, our lives are transformed by His grace.

We would love for you to join us this Sabbath to worship together, study His Word, and experience the warmth of Christian fellowship. Come fellowship with our church family this Saturday!

Christ Object Lessons: The Measure of Forgiveness

How often should we forgive someone who has wronged us? In this chapter from Christ’s Object Lessons, Ellen G. White explores Jesus’ parable of the unforgiving servant and the profound difference between the mercy God extends to us and the mercy we show to others. We are reminded that, having received God’s abundant grace, we are called to reflect His compassion, forgive those who repent, and guard our hearts against bitterness and unforgiveness.

As you read, consider how God’s forgiveness can transform our relationships and help us extend the same love and patience to others that He has shown to us. We would also love for you to consider joining use this Sabbath to worship, pray, and study God’s Word with us in person! Fellowship is one of the greatest places to experience and practice the grace and community Christ calls us to.
