Florida Hospital SDA Church Sermons - Audio

Peter couldn’t make it clearer: “Show respect for everyone. Love your Christian brothers and sisters.  Fear God. Show respect for the king.” 1 Peter 2:17  To not respect a person calls into question our love for them.   Jesus was clear that the world would know we are the genuine article of followers of Him […]

The very essence of pride is found in incivility – assuming me, my, and mine trump you and yours. The simplest form of incivility is the driver who knows their lane is ending but, because it is empty, they rush to the very front of the line, demand that another driver brake and allow them […]

Nutrition is important.  Abuse of food comes in a variety of forms, primarily not enough or too much poor quality nutritionally.  Jesus is the Bread of Life – how do we offer our world the most healthy form of this Bread? How do we “nourish” our world as followers of Christ?

It’s so much easier to talk about faith and argue about biblical interpretation or doctrinal nuances than it is to get up and do something. The Bible is boldly clear that actions accompany faith. What will it mean for us to “Do Something?”

If it is true that our outlook influences both our mental and physical health, then followers of Jesus should be the healthiest people in the world!

Sabbath should make a difference in all of life, not just one day in seven.  Sabbath should make a difference in the way we use our time and other resources and the way we relate to other people. Jesus sums up this kind of life as rest for you souls, and then immediately Matthew turns […]

How do we care for others in a way that preserves us to be able to care more later?  What are the proper boundaries, and how do we set them?  Are they biblical?  Is it okay (or even preferable) to really care and still say “No” to a person’s request for more care?  Even Jesus […]

What does it mean to be a friend, and why do I need to be one or have one?  The reality is that we live in a world of interpersonal relationships.  There are people all around us, and it’s an illusion that we will do just fine on our own. How do we best be […]
