Two hands exchange a black Holy Bible with gold lettering against a blurred green outdoor background. White text over the image reads “Give Me The Bible” and below it “Branden Stoltz.”

In this sermon, Pastor Branden Stoltz explains that the Bible is the final authority on faith and life. While resources like the Seventh-day Adventist Church Manual, The 28 Fundamental Beliefs, and hymnals are valuable for organization and expression, they are ultimately dependent on the Word of God. He emphasizes the necessity of reading the Bible personally to understand its context and principles before making applications to modern life. Furthermore, he explores Romans chapter 14 to teach how to maintain unity and avoid being stumbling blocks when individuals reach different convictions on practical issues. The message concludes with practical steps for personal Bible study and a call for the church to make decisions together in community.

“Two robed figures walk along a mountain ridge at sunrise, surrounded by dramatic clouds and rays of light. One holds a staff. Text on the image reads ‘Closer To My House Than Yours.’”

In this powerful and reverent message, Randy Warkentin leads listeners into a deeper awe of God’s holiness—His glory, His majesty, and His nearness to humanity. Drawing from Isaiah, Exodus, Colossians, and the stories of Enoch, Abraham, Jacob, Moses, Gideon, and Manoah, he shows how the God who “stretches forth the heavens alone” and whom “no man can see and live” still chooses to dwell with His people, care for them, and walk beside them.

Randy reminds us that in a world shaking with conflict, moral confusion, and accelerating prophetic signs, our hope is anchored in the unchanging character of a holy God who loves us with an everlasting love. He highlights how Jesus—God in human flesh—“risked it all to be with us,” lived among us, intercedes for us, and is soon returning for those who walk with Him.

In this heartfelt sermon, Miguel Ascencio calls the church to rediscover true Christian sympathy, a compassion that reflects the very character of Christ. Drawing from Scripture, he challenges believers to set aside selfishness and embrace a life of kindness, unity, and genuine care for others, both inside and outside the church family. Through personal stories and biblical insight, he reminds us that sympathy is not weakness but a divine calling rooted in God’s love. This message invites every listener to live out a faith that mirrors Christ’s tenderness, humility, and unwavering commitment to humanity.

In the background, another person walks along a narrow ridge path toward sunlit mountains. Text on the image reads “WHY IT’S HARD TO FOLLOW JESUS.”

Christian Ascencio delivers a powerful message on the true cost of following Jesus, exposing how self often becomes the greatest barrier to discipleship. Through Luke 14, he challenges listeners to confront their excuses, recognize their spiritual needs, and return Christ to the center of their lives. With heartfelt testimony—including his own wake‑up call during a battle with COVID—he reminds us that Jesus invites the humble, the needy, and the willing to His great supper. This sermon calls every believer to examine the heart, surrender pride, and walk with Christ in genuine commitment.

A bearded man in a white robe sits at a wooden table holding a cup of red liquid, with a loaf of bread on a cloth in front of him. The room has simple pottery on the table and an open window showing trees and a stone wall outside. Text above reads “Remembrance of Jesus.”

In this heartfelt sermon, Miguel Ascencio calls the church to return to the deep meaning and sacredness of the communion service. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 11 and the gospel accounts, he reminds believers that Jesus’ command to “do this in remembrance of Me” is not a ritual, but a life‑changing invitation to reflect on the cross, renew our covenant, and prepare for His soon return. With compassion and urgency, he addresses the struggles, losses, and discouragement many are facing, pointing us back to the hope found only in Christ. This message challenges every listener to examine their heart, embrace God’s escape plan from sin, and honor the sacrifice that changed human history forever. A powerful call to remember, recommit, and walk closely with Jesus.

A Roman centurion in a metal helmet with cheek guards stands in soft light, looking serious. The helmet reflects the silhouette of a crucifixion scene with two crosses. Blurred soldiers and torchlight appear in the background, and text on the left reads “Confessions of A Centurian.”

Christian Ascencio delivers a powerful message calling believers to rediscover who Jesus truly is in their lives, echoing the centurion’s confession in Mark 15:39: “Truly this man was the Son of God.” The sermon exposes how even religious leaders in Scripture failed to recognize Jesus, while a Roman soldier understood Him through witnessing His sacrifice. Ascencio challenges the church to stop taking the Word of God for granted and to reflect Christ in daily life rather than merely in outward religion. In this heartfelt call to transformation, he invites every listener to answer the central question: Who is Jesus in your life?

Miguel Ascencio shares a powerful Passover message on the true meaning of redemption and the sacrifice Christ made for humanity. He traces the story from Eden to the cross, showing how God’s plan to save us has always been rooted in love. This sermon calls believers to acknowledge their need for a Savior, repent, and live as true disciples—not just church attendees. A heartfelt reminder that our Redeemer lives and is coming again.

Behind them, a baseball field, stadium seating, and another player on the field are visible. Large text above them reads, “Stop being a member. Start being a disciple.

In this powerful message, Miguel Ascencio challenges the congregation to move beyond being mere “members” and instead become active disciples who truly live the Word of God. By examining the biblical wisdom found in the stories of Moses and the Canaanite woman, Ascencio illustrates the necessity of humility and persistent faith in our daily walk with Christ . He candidly addresses the “benchwarmer” mentality, urging believers to prioritize their family’s salvation and a genuine connection with Jesus over worldly distractions.
