Fall Feasts and Completion

Given by Ken Treybig

Today I want to rehearse some of the ‘big picture’ lessons we learn from God’s feasts—and particularly the fall festivals we’re about to observe. Mr. Franks gave an overview in his member letter this week. But I want to add another dimension to the fall festivals—how they signify ‘completion’.

Being a Light in a Dark World

Given by Jim Franks

Members around the world have a story to tell about their lives and how God called them. It is inspiring to hear these stories and see how the life and example of one person can affect the lives of so many others. Paul wrote to the Philippians and encouraged them to “shine as lights in the world.”

Finish the Job

Given by Jim Franks

Staying faithful to God and His truth to the end is a wonderful thing. We all must be committed to finishing the job—however long it may take.

Acres of Diamonds

Given by Jim Franks

We preach the gospel to the world, but what are we doing to develop our young people who sit among us each and every Sabbath? A classic story illustrates this case.
