Offering

The great issue in the Great Controversy centers on worship. We're good at the where and the when of it. What about the larger issues of the who and the how of it?

Christ and the New Apocalypse
When you lose a loved one you never forget their face. The Apocalypse reveals Jesus' face and invites us never to forget it.
09/07/2002
Apocalypse Now
Americans are more than ever captivated by the apocalypse. But the apocalypse is not simply about the future, it reveals a Face. The closer we look, the more of it we see.
09/14/2002
Painted in Blood
Martyr. Victor. King. How can they all be the same face? How can they all bear the same mark? How is it that the scar bears our own imprint?
09/28/2002
The Face in the Clouds
He will return bearing the scar. How much of its formation resulted from physical trauma? Did we contribute to it? Do we still?
10/19/2002
A Smile Upon the Face of Death
The great emotion: Fear. The great unknown: Death. We fear what we don't know. He who holds the keys of death holds the solution to our fear.
10/26/2002
The Candlestick Face
Have any complaints about your church? Know of anyone in your church who's stopped attending because of them? In the Apocalypse, guess where Jesus shows up!

The Face of the Slaughtered Lamb
Lamb sacrifices: ancient, foreign, obsolete. But has the crimson cross that made them such become an ancient, foreign, obsolete relic to us?
11/16/2002
The Seven Faces of the Other God
When God left earth to take His throne, Another descended to be His presence with His people. The Holy Spirit. A view from the Apocalypse.
11/23/2002
An Apocalyptic Thanksgiving (Part1)
Feasting and family mark our Thanksgivings. As should gratitude, every day of the year, for a powerful reason.
11/30/2002
An Apocalyptic Thanksgiving (Part2)
Thank God for loss? Sound ridiculous? Except that new depths of God's grace and mercy often manifest themselves through pain, loss and failure.
12/07/2002
Of Babies and Dragons - An Apocalyptic Christmas
Will it ever be forgotten that the face on the throne was the face of a baby? The baby is so that we will never forget that we are never forgotten.

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.
