The John the Baptist Generation
The gun has gone off! The race does not stop until the finish line. What is the race? How do we cross that finish line? In order to renew our apocalyptic edge and prophetic focus we must answer God's call and run the race.

Mea Culpa
Already saved? John the Baptist calls even the saved to repent, even if it's only for the sin of unrepentance. What does it mean to repent? Only by doing so can we grow closer to God.

Marinating in the Brine
When Martin Luther nailed his thesis to the church doors, he began a counter-cultural revolution in the hearts and mind of scholars and laymen alike. God calls us to withdraw from the marinade and join the revolution.

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.
