Pastor Douglas Na'a gives a message of encouragement as a leader of the SALT Evangelism Program, which Ringgold SDA Church is partnering with for Fall 2025 to bolster local evangelism efforts. He reflects on courage. A 10-year research study on courage underscores our value of it and our sense of its diamond-like rarity. He reminds us further that, biblically speaking, courage is not just a virtue, but a command! What can outreach look like when we adopt and share this command?

"Stories of the Kingdom" continues with the parable of the great feast. Unfortunately, many who were invited to this feast skipped out on it unexpectedly, so instead, some unexpected people became the guests of honor! Pastor Greg challenges us: How do we respond to Christ's personal invitation to us?

Pastor Greg's Stories of the Kingdom series continues with a look at the parable of the unmerciful servant, interwoven with the experience of a WWII hero whose story was the basis for the hit book and film Unbroken. Jesus and some of our experiences tell us that "hurt people hurt people." But in a world full of people with a chip on their shoulder, let's picture instead...what do forgiven people do?

The world would have us believe that whoever dies with the most toys wins...but with a growing greed problem in society, lately people are wising up that there's got to be another way to live. In this next part of Pastor Greg's Stories of the Kingdom series, we zoom in on the parable of the rich fool. Spoiler alert: Jesus reminds us that "one's life does not consist in the abundance of the things that you possess," and instead points us to the God who gives exceedingly, abundantly more than this world ever will.

Science educator Stan Beasley's experience spans a challenging childhood and advancing as far as he'd ever wanted in marine science. Despite a difficult home life and later work in a field often opposing intelligent design, Beasley was drawn to not only his Designer but also his heavenly Father. Be blessed by his testimony and message commending God's "second book," His creation.

As the series Stories of the Kingdom continues, Pastor Greg steps us through the parable of the sower. Agriculture was an important and widely familiar concept in Bible times, so Jesus used it frequently for spiritual illustrations. Today, how can we "prepare the soil" of our hearts and minds to receive God's Word?

Our own sister, Julie Cameron, brings today's message as part of the Women's Ministries Sabbath. Using the Tater Family--including Dick Tater, Sweet Tater, and in between--as an illustration of the gifts and distractions we each carry, Julie encourages us to prayerfully consider letting God bring out our best as the Body of Christ--His Church! Special thanks to Diana Shelburne and our Women's Ministries team for coordinating today's service.

Pastor Greg kicks off a series "Stories of the Kingdom," a study of Christ's parables, with the first installment "Hidden Treasures." Join us in Matthew 13, where even a series of single-verse parables remind us just how precious the gospel is.

Pastor Bob Maehre returns to Ringgold Church, sharing again the joys of his studies of the sanctuary. In this installment, he muses on the colors God directed for use in the sanctuary, and the thematic use of these colors across scripture.

We're reminded from time to time: Expect the unexpected. Haven't we all been caught off guard at some point or another? In another reflection on the parable of the 10 virgins, Pastor Greg steps us through how easy it is to be caught up in the busyness of life, while pointing to what focus on Christ offers instead.
