Scripture Reading Matthew 8:31-32 Greetings beloved Congregation and Friends of Palo Alto Adventist Church, We are delighted to welcome Elder Julian Lake back as our speaker this week. He will be presenting his message titled "Enemies Beyond". Summary Demons are a mysterious and scary part of the Biblical narrative. We know little about their nature and would typically view anyone who claimed to interact with demons with skepticism, and suspicion yet Jesus himself cast out demons. So what are we to make of these otherworldly entities? We look forward to an inspiring and thought-provoking sermon as he shares the word that God has placed on his heart. 🌐 Register for our Live Zoom Webinar: https://tinyurl.com/yc3vzk62 🔔 Stay connected with us on our journey of faith: 📺 Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://tinyurl.com/bderwssk 🌐 Visit our Website: http://www.paloaltoadventist.org 📘 Follow our Facebook page: https://tinyurl.com/4n8zcynh 📸 Follow us on Instagram: https://tinyurl.com/bdxjx65h God Bless You, Happy Sabbath & Have a Great Week!

Scripture Reading Luke 12:16-21 NKJV Greetings beloved Congregation and Friends of Palo Alto Adventist Church, Summary This parable reminds us that true treasure is found not in what we keep, but in what we give. When we generously share our resources, time, and love with others, we invest in what truly matters. Building relationships, meeting needs, and advancing God’s kingdom matters. Earthly wealth fades, but the impact of giving lasts forever. As we reflect on this passage, let us remember that a life rich in generosity is a life rich toward God. Our true security lies not in possessions, but in a heart that treasures others and reflects God’s love. We come to this parable to find more hidden truths. May the Lord help us heed his warning and find the truth that adds value to our lives. 🌐 Register for our Live Zoom Webinar: https://tinyurl.com/yc3vzk62 🔔 Stay connected with us on our journey of faith: 📺 Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://tinyurl.com/bderwssk 🌐 Visit our Website: http://www.paloaltoadventist.org 📘 Follow our Facebook page: https://tinyurl.com/4n8zcynh 📸 Follow us on Instagram: https://tinyurl.com/bdxjx65h God Bless You, Happy Sabbath & Have a Great Week!

Scripture Reading John 2:1-5 NKJV Sermon Title "Trust and Obey" Greetings, Beloved Congregation and Friends of Palo Alto Adventist Church, Summary Miracles are not just acts of divine power. They are also lessons of faith. The first miracle Jesus performed—turning water into wine at the wedding in Cana—was more than just an act to satisfy a need. It was a demonstration of trust and obedience. Through this event, we see how faith and submission to Christ leads to transformation. This is what we are about this week. 🌐 Register for our Live Zoom Webinar: https://tinyurl.com/yc3vzk62 🔔 Stay connected with us on our journey of faith: 📺 Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://tinyurl.com/bderwssk 🌐 Visit our Website: http://www.paloaltoadventist.org 📘 Follow our Facebook page: https://tinyurl.com/4n8zcynh 📸 Follow us on Instagram: https://tinyurl.com/bdxjx65h God Bless You, Happy Sabbath & Have a Great Week!

Scripture Reading Romans 1:14-15 Greetings Beloved Congregation and Friends of Palo Alto Adventist Church, As we prepare for another blessed Sabbath, I am honored to share the message God has placed on my heart, titled "I Am a Debtor". This Sabbath, we are about a deep sense of duty to share the gospel with all people, regardless of their background, culture, or status. Paul saw himself as a debtor, not because he owed money, but because he had received the priceless gift of salvation. As believers, we too have a responsibility to share the gospel, as it is not meant to be kept to ourselves. The Gospel is for Everyone and Paul’s reference to Greeks and barbarians, wise and unwise emphasizes that no one is excluded from God’s love. The message of Christ is universal, breaking down barriers of race, class, and intellect. Just as Paul felt an obligation to go preach, we too are called to spread the good news. Whether in our communities, workplaces, or through missions, we must actively share the gospel with those who have not yet heard. Paul felt obligated and we must feel obligated out of gratitude. I invite you to join us as we open God’s Word together, seeking His wisdom, strength, and renewal for our lives. May this Sabbath be a time of spiritual growth, reflection, and fellowship. Looking forward to worshiping with you all. May God bless and keep you! 🌐 Register for our Live Zoom Webinar: https://tinyurl.com/yc3vzk62 🔔 Stay connected with us on our journey of faith: 📺 Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://tinyurl.com/bderwssk 🌐 Visit our Website: http://www.paloaltoadventist.org 📘 Follow our Facebook page: https://tinyurl.com/4n8zcynh 📸 Follow us on Instagram: https://tinyurl.com/bdxjx65h God Bless You, Happy Sabbath & Have a Great Week!

Scripture Reading Numbers 13:30-32 Sermon Title "The Caleb Story — Loyalty, Longevity and Love" Greetings Beloved Congregation and Friends of Palo Alto Adventist Church, We are thrilled to welcome back Pastor Steve Constantine as our speaker this Sabbath. He will be presenting a sermon titled "The Caleb Story — Loyalty, Longevity, and Love". We look forward to an inspiring message as Pastor Steve Constantine shares what God has placed on his heart. Here is a brief summary of the message: Caleb was a Kenizzite who was appointed as the spy to represent the tribe of Judah. How did this come to be, you may ask. We will explore. Further, he was one of the two spies that brought back a good report but he failed to convince the people because the other ten spies were afraid of the giants in the land of Canaan. After the Children of Israel were led back into the desert for forty years, only two of the adults made it to enter the Promised land. At age eighty, having fought for the occupation of the land for several tribes, he took on the greatest challenge of the giants in the mountains. His loyalty to God was awarded with a long life. The question is: How this member of the mixed multitude, who was liberated from Egypt, with the Children of Israel, become a leader in the tribe of Judah? There is an exceptional love story there. Please join me as we take a closer look at the life of this incredible child of faith. 🌐 Register for our Live Zoom Webinar: https://tinyurl.com/yc3vzk62 🔔 Stay connected with us on our journey of faith: 📺 Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://tinyurl.com/bderwssk 🌐 Visit our Website: http://www.paloaltoadventist.org 📘 Follow our Facebook page: https://tinyurl.com/4n8zcynh 📸 Follow us on Instagram: https://tinyurl.com/bdxjx65h God Bless You, Happy Sabbath & Have a Great Week!

Scripture Reading Matthew 11:28-30 NKJV Sermon Title "The Gentle Royal" Greetings Beloved Congregation and Friends of Palo Alto Adventist Church, The gentleness of Christ is beautifully described in Matthew 11:28-30, where Jesus says: “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” In this tender passage, Jesus invites all who are weary and burdened to come to Him for rest. He promises soul-deep peace, as He offers freedom from the weight of life’s struggles and sin. Unlike the harsh demands of the world, Jesus, who is gentle and lowly, provides an easy yoke and a light burden. This message calls us to trust Him, surrender our burdens to a gentle Savior and experience true rest through His grace and love.

Sermon Title "The Transformation of Peter"--Part Two Greetings Friends in Christ, Peter was an utterly broken man after his multiple denials of Christ. In fact, there is reason to believe that the faith of all the disciples had been completely extinguished with the death of Jesus. Beginning on Sunday morning that faith slowly began to rekindle and, although Peter could hardly believe it, Jesus made it clear that he was fully reinstated in the group. But that is nothing compared to what happened next. On the day of Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit descended on the small group of believers, the transformation was remarkable. Peter, previously the bumbling fisherman who meant well and utterly failed in his attempt to follow Jesus, was transformed into a powerful preacher of the gospel, and a prominent leader of the fledgling group of believers. This transformation is exemplified in the sermons Peter preached in the weeks and months following Pentecost. Let us give special consideration to those sermons this Sabbath morning. Join us this Sabbath as we come together to worship and grow in faith. 🌐 Register for our Live Zoom Webinar: https://tinyurl.com/yc3vzk62 🔔 Stay connected with us on our journey of faith: 📺 Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://tinyurl.com/bderwssk 🌐 Visit our Website: http://www.paloaltoadventist.org 📘 Follow our Facebook page: https://tinyurl.com/4n8zcynh 📸 Follow us on Instagram: https://tinyurl.com/bdxjx65h God Bless You, Happy Sabbath & Have a Great Week!
