In an age where stay-at-home moms feel busy, and career people are constantly tired, overworked, and craving personal and family time, God invites us to rest. A day a week to rejuvenate, build relationships and, most importantly, to honor God.
What hope do we have that there will ever be peace on earth, or in our hearts? There is so much that creates discord that it seems impossible. But God gives us a law of love that, when followed, becomes the building blocks of personal, relational, and even national peace.
How, When, and in what way will Jesus return? Will there be a thousand years of peace with Christ reigning on the earth, or will the wicked be destroyed by the brightness of his coming and the righteous go to meet Him in the air? In this message Jason explores the biblical prophecies about the second coming of Jesus.
The fourth Sabbath in August is the global Adventist church's enditnow emphasis day where we stand up against violence in all forms. Jason Worf shares about verbal abuse in this sermon called "Words that Wound." He addresses victims of abuse, abusers, and compasionate bystanders from Isaiah 58 and the advice of Christian counselors on how to respond to abusive speach.
There is a call for all Christians to live lives dedicated to the cause of the gospel. It takes an indomitable will to make lasting change in the world, and we need more people with that kind of spirit.
God designed our world with potential and goodness, then partnered with his creation—mankind—to bring more goodness out of it. They broke that relationship by trying to manage the world on their own terms, and now we are suffering the results. Then God made promises with people like Noah and Abraham and David to try to renew the relationship and partnership he had with mankind. That's all nice and good, but what does that have to do with my everyday life? So what?

The doctrine of the trinity has been hotly debated since the early Christian church. It has been the subject of debates and divisions of the church and even wars between nations. This brief talk confronts the erroneous doctrines of God in three modes (modalism) and Jesus as created being (arianism), and explains the significance of trinitarian theology on salvation.
In this sermon Jason looks back at the basic principles of planting and growth—a system that God designed and after which he modeled the gospels work in our lives. The question of which kind of soil you are gets to the fundamental idea of receptivity. Dirt don't work, but it does have to choose.
Some people look at Enoch's experience of walking with God and then being taken to heaven without dying and they can't see themselves in his experience. Maybe they think he's a giant of faith that they can't possibly imitate, or they think that he lived in a different time and so they can't experience what he experienced. This sermon looks at the story of enoch and reimagines the reasons for God taking him to heaven, and show that God wants to walk with each of us just like he did with Enoch.
