We share many beliefs and values with the broader Christian community as well as having some things that are distinctive. We hope that you are blessed are we explore what we BELIEVE.
We wrap up our BELIEVE preaching series this week exploring the tradition and custom of communion. As Adventists we not only gather for the partaking of the bread and wine that represent the body and blood of Christ, but we also continue the practice given to us but Jesus to wash each other feet. We hope that you can join us as we celebrate communion.
We continue our BELIEVE preaching series exploring the transformative power of 'The Word of God'. How do these ancient words provide wisdom and relevance in our modern lives. Join us as we journey through the pages of ancient texts, unraveling their meanings, and embracing their profound truths that lead us to Jesus.
Jesus sent his disciples to go into all the world and preach, teach and baptise. Around 2000 years later, how does Adventist Education fit that role? Why have we built, as a church, the largest protestant education system in the world? Join us this week as Stephen Littlewood (who may have a vested interest in Adventist education) shares some of the facts, figures and reasons for why this mission of the church exists.
As part of our BELIEVE series we celebrate communion. Something that is very dear to the heart of SDA beliefs is the Lord Supper and foot washing. As we prepare for this celebration we invite you to take some time to reflect and pray before we follow this tradition given to us by Christ.
As Adventists we are proud of our history and heritage. There are some fantastic and inspiring stores from our past, where men and women were bold in their mission of sharing Jesus. Have we lost our evangelistic zeal? What can we learn from them for today?
We continue our BELIEVE series with the subject of the Remnant, a group referred to in scripture who survive a tribulation, and expect that there is a tribulation to come. We are all called to be a remnant, those people who trust God through any tribulation.
As an individual we may choose to ignore God but that does not mean He is not there. There is so much evidence around us that acknowledges God’s presence, through His creation and us. If we open our hearts, as people have done throughout the centuries, we will see and hear His voice, and the Sabbath will be a day of praise to Him and a blessing to us. What a privilege we have of being together each Sabbath and sharing in corporate praise to our wonderful creator.
Pr Adrian Peterson kicks off our BELIEVE series with an exploration of The Second Coming. Two of our beliefs are found in our denominational name, our belief in the Sabbath and the second Advent of Jesus. What does it look like? When will it happen? Does it really matter?
We conclude the BELIEVE series by celebrating communion.
God’s law is written on our heart because of what was written on the cross.
We begin our new series with a look at the work of the Holy Spirit in the early Adventist church and how He is still at work today in our church.
