Speaking this Sabbath is Tim Gillespie, reminding us that "Bushes Still Burn." Tim visits us as the Vice President for Mission and Ministry at AdventHealth in Colorado.

Speaking this Sabbath is our Lead Pastor. In the parable of the persistent friend, Jesus invites us to see how the Holy Spirit is at work in humanity. The Spirit helps us to pray in Jesus' name, with Jesus' heart, and in Jesus' love. The Spirit is our Guide to help us see how God is at work and why God is doing or not doing what we ask in prayer. The Spirit invites us to be actively and audaciously inviting God to work through our prayers.

Speaking this Sabbath is our Lead Pastor. In Matthew 21, Jesus tells the parable of the tenants. This parable highlights how the religious leaders are going to reject and kill Jesus. But, this rejection will result in Jesus dying for the sins of the world and becoming the cornerstone for His kingdom. Jesus demonstrates humility & invites us to learn from Him. Jesus' humility is foundational for us and our faith, our transformation, and our future.

Speaking this Sabbath is our Lead Pastor. God is a good Father. In the parable of the prodigal son, we get insight into how good He is; He defies all expectations as He gives graciously, joyously, and generously. As we come to understand how much God gives us, we are able to deal with many of the addictions, fears, and stressors in our lives.

Speaking this Sabbath is the Union Adventist University campus Chaplin.

Speaking this Sabbath is our Lead Pastor. In John 15, Jesus reveals how the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit work together to bring about God's purposes in His people. God invites us to abide with Him, to abound in Him, and to experience His love. We can be fruitful only as we remain connected to God. This connection prepares us to experience God's blessing.

Speaking this Sabbath is our Lead Pastor. Our new sermon series, Seek First the Kingdom, focuses on the 28 fundamental parables of Jesus. In Matthew 13, Jesus shares the power of His Word. God is speaking to us no matter where we are at in our lives; His words invite us into the heart of God, the character of God, and the mission of God.

Speaking this Sabbath is our Visitation Pastor, reminding us "Don't Fixate on the Wolves!" It's easy to get distracted as we wait for Jesus' return. He tells us to "watch and be ready;" Matthew 24 tells us what to watch for and Matthew 25 tells us how to be ready. Don't get distracted!

Speaking this Sabbath is our Lead Pastor. Jesus tells us in the last days there will be false prophets. This sounds scary, but in 1 John 4, John helps us understand how to distinguish between true & false spirits so we do not need to fear. John invites us to listen to that Voice that acknowledges Jesus has come in the flesh, the Voice that invites us into Godly love, and the Voice that drives out fear.

Speaking this Sabbath is our Lead Pastor. In the book of Ephesians, Paul challenges us to consider the ways the presence of God's Spirit changes us individually and collectively. As we see God's glory, we worship Him for His love for us; as we worship Him, we are moved to work and grow together. However, this is never easy as we are waging war against spiritual forces. Yet God's Spirit invites us into this battle.

Speaking this Sabbath is our Children's Pastor. This weekend, we're celebrating all God has done throughout CVC's KidMin Summer and our incredible student leaders. In "Now, Not Later," we'll reflect on how God calls each of us — young and old — into His purpose today, not just someday. Through the story of Elijah and Elisha, we'll explore the power of mentorship, the courage to follow God's call, and what it means to walk in faith even when we feel unqualified. Whether you're a parent, leader, or student, this message will remind you that discipleship is a journey we take together.

Speaking this Sabbath is our Lead Pastor. Jesus knew He must suffer and die. He had to! If Jesus had not died for us, we would never have known much we are loved. However, in His death, Jesus also showed us why we need to die to our old self. It doesn't work if we don't. As Jesus washed His disciples' feet, He invited them to see that real power is found in humble service, and that is where we find real love too.

Speaking this Sabbath is our Worship Pastor. We all know the story of the woman caught in adultery in John 8:1-11. However, there are two types of people in this story and two responses by Jesus. Which of the two types are you, and what is Jesus' response, you ask? Jesus always sees beyond what we can.

Speaking this Sabbath is our Lead Pastor. As we celebrate Independence Day, we are reminded of the freedom we have and the freedom Jesus offers. In Romans 7-8, Paul invites us to the freedom of knowing we are chosen as a child of God. Being chosen frees me from condemnation, from slavery to sin, and from anxiety.

Speaking this Sabbath is our Lead Pastor. When Jesus meets a Samaritan woman at Jacob's well, it is not random. Jesus has come to make her a disciple-maker. But first, she needs to recognize the truth about herself and God. Jesus invites her to step back and see she is in trouble; He can act for her. He does this by speaking a prophetic word to her. Now she believes in Jesus and He pours His living water into her. She becomes a disciple-maker.

Speaking this Sabbath is our Lead Pastor. Many of us have experienced rejection. So does Jesus. But His rejection leads to abundant life for me as, following His resurrection, Jesus pours out His Spirit on His followers. In John 3, Jesus invites Nicodemus to a powerful life: not to moderation, but to be born again; not good advice, but good news; and not a claim to my spiritual life, but to my whole life.

Speaking this Sabbath is our Lead Pastor. In the story of Lazarus, we see how much Jesus loves His children, but we also see how the Holy Spirit helps us understand what God's love looks like, even as Jesus allows one of His best friends to die. We see the intimacy of the Godhead. We see how we can have faith even when we can't see, and we are invited into deeper feelings and emotions, even when it is risky, as we experience God's heart for us.

This week's message explores how real forgiveness costs us something, but gives us back even more: peace, freedom, and healing. We'll talk about what forgiveness is - and isn't - and how God meets us in the hard, holy middle of it all.
