God gave His shining ideal for marriage in Eden. But wonder of wonders, the subsequent story in Genesis tells of one dysfunctional family after another. Good news; God has an entire history of experience working with families more dysfunctional than our own.
09/30/2000
Seldom do they really "live happily ever after." Even the family Jesus grew up in didn't. But God has made provision for unfulfilled expectations.

Modern motto of the young: "Sex without strings, relationships without rings." But it's not only moderns who've encountered its lure and its pain. Study two biblical characters: one who fell for it, one who didn't.

The wound is secret because for too many it is simply too painful to disclose. What if the church were a safe haven, a place where wounds were healed? (Homosexuality and the church's response)
11/04/2000
When does our identity in God begin? When does God's future become a promise for a potential child? Focus on the incredible hope this truth presents to every young woman . . . and man. (Abortion)

Offering for June 14, 2025

Women's Ministries Offering

Our offering today helps provide opportunities for Adventist women of North America to create deeper connections with other women—connections both within and beyond our church walls whose ultimate purpose is to invite every woman closer to Jesus. We form connections like one young woman found in a group started by the women of her church for mothers of young children. “This mom’s group has ignited my journey of finding faith in motherhood,” she said. “Knowing I am prayed over daily, and having Godly mentor moms in my life means more than I can tell you.”


We form connections like those of the dedicated women who lead an after-school life skills group for teen girls in their neighborhood, providing essential help for a brighter future. We form connections like evangelistic meetings spearheaded by women bringing a message of hope and wholeness to their communities. These and many more touch points are made possible through the women’s ministries offering. Additionally, this offering helps provide funds for leadership training, equipping women of all ages to better serve Jesus in a variety of ways in their homes, churches, and beyond. Thank you for generously supporting the Adventist women of North America in our mission to make a tangible difference for eternity.
