As the Sabbath approaches, we invite our Parkdale community to pause and consider a vital question: Whose voice are we trusting? This week's Friday reflection explores the "tail of the dragon"—the power of deception—and how we can find our footing on the solid ground of Scripture. Join us at Parkdale Seventh-day Adventist Church this Sabbath for fellowship and worship as we seek the Truth together.
Consistent with our view of the health message as the 'right arm of the gospel,' we believe that physical restoration is deeply tied to how we honour the laws of nature. This reading examines the practical 'rational remedies'—such as water, activity, and temperance—that allow the body to recover its God-given strength and vitality. By identifying the true causes of our ailments, we can move beyond merely treating symptoms and begin the journey toward genuine, holistic health.
This chapter from Christ’s Object Lessons provides a profound look at how we receive the Word of God, using the familiar scenes of nature to explain the mysteries of the human heart. It challenges us to examine our own lives—whether we are distracted by worldly cares, hardened by sin, or ready to flourish in "good ground."
We warmly invite you to join us this Sabbath at church as we gather to study these truths together. It is a wonderful opportunity to set aside the "cares of this world" and find refreshment in the presence of the Great Husbandman alongside our local church family.
The Green Herald of Spring: A Vegan Guide to Spinach
As winter’s chill slowly gives way to the gentle warmth of March, nature offers its first signs of renewal. Among the earliest vegetables to grace our gardens and markets is spinach. Tender, vibrant, and overflowing with nutrients, spinach is the perfect food to celebrate the beginning of spring.
For centuries, this leafy green has been valued as a source of strength and vitality. Whether you’re a long-time plant-based eater or just looking to add more greens to your plate, spinach is one of the most versatile and powerful tools in your vegan kitchen.
While modern media often portrays the Bible as a collection of myths, archaeology continues to uncover remarkable evidence that roots the Scriptures in real human history. This fascinating article explores key discoveries, from the Dead Sea Scrolls to the House of David inscription, that demonstrate how the physical remains of the past consistently illuminate the reliability of the biblical record. We invite you to explore these historical milestones and then join us this Sabbath for church, where we gather to study the living Word of God that has been so faithfully preserved through the ages.
