Our WORSHIP THEME this Saturday, June 6th, 11:00a is FAITHFUL. I'm preaching: CALLED TO BE FAITHFUL. It's our once-a-year Vacation Bible School Sabbath: CACTUSVILLE: Where WE are called to follow Jesus! Please join us!

FAITHFUL IS FAITHFUL REGARDLESS

God calls us to be faithful, and many times we equate faithfulness with the abundance of success. But faithfulness doesn’t necessarily translate into success. There’re plenty of Bible characters who were called to be faithful, and their faithfulness did not end up in success or immediate success, depending how we look at it (i.e. Moses, King Saul, David, Jonah, Jeremiah, Peter).
In God’s eyes, faithfulness is tied to obedience and loyalty. 1 Samuel 15:22 asks, “Does the Lord delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the Lord? To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams.” Jesus in The Parable of the Talents (Matt. 25:14–30) shows that the Master rewarded the faithful servants who wisely managed what was given to them individually, not necessarily the one with the most resources. This clarifies that faithfulness is about how we faithfully use what God has entrusted to us, not necessarily how much success we have in being faithful.
To positively balance the above statements, the Bible does say that faithfulness is the foundation of lasting success. God rewards faithfulness in His time, and the “success” He values is seen in character, obedience, and trust—qualities that endure beyond this life.
As we experienced Cactusville this week and as we enjoy it this Sabbath, let’s remember that we are called to be different, to forgive, to serve, to give, and most of all, we are called to be faithful. Hebrews 11:8 is a great reminder: “By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going.” And as we know it, Abraham never took possession of the Promised Land; his great, great, great, … grandchildren did.

MAY WE BE FAITHFUL, FIRST AND FOREMOST!

Our WORSHIP THEME this Saturday, May 30th, 11:00a is ROLE MODELS. I'm preaching this message: JESUS IS OUR ROLE MODEL. This is our Graduation Sabbath when we celebrate with our graduates and highlight their God-given success. This message is also in line with our 2026 church focus: Knowing Christ and Him Crucified! Please join us!

ALSO, GRADUATION BANQUET by Open Door Youth Ministries is this Saturday, May 30th, 7:00pm, Hilton Garden Inn Fort Worth Alliance (2600 Westport Pkwy). This is a youth event for the graduates, their families, and friends.

JESUS IS OUR ROLE MODEL

“To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in His steps.” (1 Pt. 2:21).
A role model is not an end in itself. It is to serve others. As we go through this year’s season of graduations, we hear many charges directed at the graduates to step up and serve their fellow man and to change the world for better, and the role models are all over the place. Some are good, but some are plainly destructive.
Jesus Christ is the ultimate role model for human behavior and spiritual life. His life, teachings, and sacrificial death provide a blueprint for believers to emulate. Christ is the perfect example of love, compassion, humility, and selflessness.
Love and Compassion: In John 13:34, He commands, “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” Christ’s love was sacrificial, unconditional, and inclusive, serving as a model for interpersonal relationships.
Humility and Selflessness: Phil. 2:5-8 highlights these: “In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to His own advantage; rather, He made Himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross!”
By following Jesus as our role model, we can learn how to live a life that is pleasing to God, fulfilling for ourselves, and serving others. Jesus not only taught us how to live through His words but also showed us through His actions. By looking to Jesus as our role model, we can become better disciples of Christ and bring His message of love, grace, and salvation to a world in need of hope and redemption, not just far away, but right here next to us.

MAY WE GRADUATE TO BE MORE LIKE JESUS!

JESUS WAS A WISE TEENAGER

Teenage years are some of the most difficult years of a person’s life. In many ways, these years set the stage for a person’s success or failure in later life. Many people are the way they are as adults because of the ways they went through their teenage years. The Bible doesn’t give us much about Jesus’ teenage years, but it gives us enough to set us right for a successful adult life.
The Pathfinder Club is designed to set us right for our adulthood and help us be the best we can be in our lives. Luke 2:41-52:
Every year Jesus’ parents went to Jerusalem for the Festival of the Passover. When He was twelve years old, they went up to the festival, according to the custom. After the festival was over, while His parents were returning home, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but they were unaware of it. Thinking He was in their company, they traveled on for a day. Then they began looking for Him among their relatives and friends. When they did not find Him, they went back to Jerusalem to look for Him. After three days they found Him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. Everyone who heard Him was amazed at His understanding and His answers. When His parents saw Him, they were astonished. His mother said to Him, “Son, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been anxiously searching for you.”
“Why were you searching for me?” He asked. “Didn’t you know I had to be in my Father’s house?” But they did not understand what He was saying to them.
Then He went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. But His mother treasured all these things in her heart. 52 And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.

MAY WE BE WISE TEENAGERS JUST LIKE JESUS WAS!

JESUS IS THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA

“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty” (Rev. 1:8).
For those who are unfamiliar with the Greek alphabet, this name of Christ may not mean much at first. But simply saying “Alpha and Omega” as in meaning “A to Z” wouldn’t do justice.
In the minds of the Greeks, Alpha and Omega were not only the first and the last letters of the Greek alphabet but represented the entirety of all knowledge, all existence, and all time. The New Testament writers understood that from the beginning to the end, Jesus was, is, and will be, and all things live, move, and have their being in Him (Acts 17:28). There is nothing outside the realm of His presence. His sovereignty rules over all existence. Through Him all things were created and will be, and in Him all things hold together (Col. 1:16-17).
But Jesus is not only the beginning and the end; He is also the author and finisher of our faith. He experienced the full range of human life alongside us, yet without sin. From His birth in a humble stable to hanging on a cross like a criminal, Jesus lived the life of faith, entrusting Himself to His Father and walking in obedience. And when He breathed His last breath, He declared, “It is finished.” The complete work of justification had its beginning and its end in Jesus, the finisher of our faith.
Jesus Himself did all of it looking at His circumstances through the eyes of faith, knowing at that time “the joy set before Him” (Heb. 12:2). For Jesus, that joy was knowing that He would be resurrected in glory and spend eternity with His bride—all of us believing in Him—whom He came to save. We can take comfort in our Alpha and Omega, knowing that whatever we experience in this journey of faith, we are not alone; Jesus has gone before us, and He welcomed us into this journey, and He will see us safely to the end.
I believe that these verses encapsulate our faithful existence and salvation. “Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city” (Rev. 22:12-14).

MAY WE TAKE COMFORT IN THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA!

JESUS WAS A MAN OF SORROWS

“He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief” (Is. 53:3 ESV)
In a society that avoids pain at all costs, Jesus’ actions are hard to grasp. We are surrounded by medications to relieve pain. Many turn to drugs, abortion, or euthanasia in an effort to eliminate discomfort and inconveniences from life. But rather than run away from pain, Jesus walked into it.
In the garden of Gethsemane, we glimpse at the mental anguish Jesus experienced before His betrayal. He told His disciples, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death” (Matt. 26:38), and Luke describes Jesus’ distress as so intense that His sweat was drops of blood falling to the ground (22:44).
Knowing full well the suffering that awaited Him, Jesus pleaded with the Father to consider an alternative plan. The physical suffering He would have to endure alone would be enough to cause any one of us to run away, and we now know enough about the Romans’ cruelty during crucifixions to be shaken to the core by the brutality. But Jesus also suffered the emotional anguish of bearing all the ugly, inhumane, horrific sins of the world on His shoulders. It was enough to make anyone want to flee in the opposite direction, yet He did not.
Jesus knew that there was no “Plan B” to satisfy our atonement. Only He could secure our salvation, so He willingly accepted the hard path before Him, which included the betrayal, the mock trial, the beatings, the scorn, the humility, and the death through suffocation on the cross.
In the midst of it, Jesus found time to care for His mother. He who commanded the Universe and enjoyed the worship of angels stepped down from heaven to save us all, yet right before He died, He made sure that His mother was taken care of. Mothers have a special place in God’s heart, and Jesus never forgot that.

MAY YOU KNOW YOU ARE SPECIAL TO CHRIST!
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

JESUS IS THE TRUTH: OUR SALVATION

“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” (Jn.14:6)
Jesus made many “I am” statements, but one of the most foundational statements He made is when He called Himself the Truth. Think about it: Satan is called “the father of lies” (Jn. 8:44). He specializes in twisting the truth and casting a shadow on God’s character (see Satan in action in Gen. 3 or Lk. 4). For Satan, to spew lies is in keeping with his character.
But Jesus is not just the opposite of the devil, just as truth is not merely the absence of a lie. Truth is the essence that defines reality. It stands in stark contrast to a lie because lies cannot exist without something to twist and oppose. Truth, in contrast, exists on its own. It needs nothing external to prop it up; it needs no other affirmation.
Jesus is Truth. All He says is true and His very life demonstrates a life lived as such. When He was here on earth, we simply got a glimpse into that singularity of Truth where everything else ceases to exist. For us, Jesus is the source of all truth, the embodiment of truth, and the reference point of evaluating all truth-claims.
When we fix our gaze on Jesus, we learn to see life through the prism of His reality instead of through the tinted glasses that our enemy would have us see. In fact, when Jesus faced Pilate on the day of His death facing all kinds of lies, He made His character of Truth crispy clear: “The reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to Me.” Pilate responded with an age-old question that’s ever so relevant today in our relative “upside-down” culture: “What is truth?” (Jn. 18:37-38). Face-to-face with the Truth Himself, Pilate was too wrapped up in his own view of the world to acknowledge Him. Pilate asked the question, but never got serious about understanding the answer, the Truth.
So, the only way to recognize lies is to be intimately acquainted with the Truth, much like investigators recognize counterfeit currency by studying the real thing. We must fill our hearts and minds with the Truth. Salvation-wise, it’s Jesus, the Truth who sets us free and saves us. Jesus purposefully used three words in one sentence to talk about Himself and our salvation. Our way to salvation runs through the Truth and that’s how we have life.

MAY WE LIVE THROUGH JESUS: THE WAY, TRUTH, LIFE!

A warm welcome to Loretta Oduor, who is joining our church family through baptism. Praise God for what He’s doing in her life!

04/22/2026

Our WORSHIP THEME this Saturday, April 25th, 11:00a is DELIGHT. I am preaching: LET CHRIST BE THE LORD OF THE SABBATH. This message is in line with our 2026 church focus: Knowing Christ and Him Crucified! Please join us!

ALSO, LORETTA ODUOR is committing her life to Christ this Sabbath through baptism. Let's embrace her with love as she joins our church family.

ALSO, a MENTAL HEALTH seminar by My Health My Resources of Tarrant Co. is this Sat at 1:00p in the Sanctuary. It's open to everyone but it is highly expected that all the Pathfinders and Ambassadors and their parents attend it.

JESUS IS THE LORD OF THE SABBATH

“For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath” (Matt. 12:8)
In Matthew 12, Jesus and His disciples were walking through grainfields on the Sabbath. His disciples, being hungry, picked heads of grain to eat. The Pharisees accused them of breaking the Sabbath Law, but Jesus responded by referencing David eating the consecrated bread and the priests working in the temple on the Sabbath, showing that mercy and human need take precedence over strict ritual observance. He concluded, “For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath” and affirmed His authority over the Sabbath.
The title “Lord of the Sabbath” signifies that Jesus has authority over the Sabbath, including its laws and regulations. He is greater than the Law itself because, as God incarnate, He is the Creator of the Sabbath. This authority allows Him to correctly interpret its purpose and act according to God’s will, which includes mercy and healing on the Sabbath.
The theological significance of this is that the Sabbath was made for humanity to be a blessing. Jesus emphasized that “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath” (Mk. 2:27), highlighting the Sabbath as a gift to mankind for rest and spiritual renewal rather than a burdensome legal requirement.
By declaring Himself Lord of the Sabbath, Jesus demonstrated His divine authority over it, but His statement as being the Lord of the Sabbath is not only about Him, but also about us. Jesus is calling on us to prioritize mercy, love, and human need over rigid legalism. This reflects the heart of God’s Commandments. As good Seventh-day Adventist Christians, not knowing someone’s heart and circumstances, as we observe them, it is best to defer judgment to God who makes the final call about someone’s Sabbath-keeping. After all, we will delight more in the Sabbath as a special day of delight when we let Jesus be the Lord of the Sabbath, not us. (Is. 58:13-14).

MAY WE DELIGHT IN THE SABBATH GOD'S WAY!
