STW Sermons - Adventure Church Yuba City

Continuing the Wrestling with Belief: Challenges to Christianity series, Pastor Greg tackles the question: What about science? Are faith and science really in opposition to one another? He addresses this from both his perspective and the viewpoints of leading scientists and former atheists who found compelling evidence that led them to belief in God. While many assume faith and science are incompatible, Pastor Greg reveals how scientific discoveries actually affirm faith in God, offering powerful reasons to believe

This week, Pastor Greg continues the "Wrestling with Belief: Challenges to Christianity" series by introducing the acronym M.A.P.S., which stands for Manuscripts, Archaeology, Prophecy, and Societal impact. This framework highlights four key areas of evidence supporting the Bible's accuracy, reliability, and trustworthiness as the Word of God.

This week Pastor Greg brings us the first of his messages in the Wrestling With Belief series. This series focuses on apologetics (not apologies!) around some of the foundational and sometimes difficult questions many wrestle with when it comes to faith in Jesus. This week's message introduces the series and why PG is so passionate about it. He encourages us to enlarge our hearts for those around us that need Jesus, and to use the information we learn to better reach others for Christ

For Adventure's 13th anniversary, we welcomed Pastor Mark Clark from Bayside Church who delivered an engaging and impactful message from Ephesians 1:1–2. He emphasized that, despite our weaknesses, past mistakes, or failures, God can work through us because Jesus is the true hero of our story.

For the final service of the year, we welcome Dave Kugelman as he speaks about what it means to truly be a disciple of Christ and how we can overcome the barriers that hinder us from greater spiritual growth.

This week, Pastor Greg preaches from Isaiah 9:7, a prophecy about the first advent of Jesus, who comes as a light to bring joy and victory. He discusses the differences between happiness and joy, how we can find light in a dark world and during dark times in our lives, and how we can experience victory over the world, the flesh, and the devil because of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

This week, Pastor Greg delves into the genealogy of Jesus as recorded in Matthew 1:1–17, emphasizing that amidst the artificial aspects often associated with Christmas, Jesus stands as a real person with a real purpose, capable of making a real impact in our lives. Pastor Greg emphasizes that Jesus' genealogy reflects God's gracious nature, as He offers everyone the opportunity to become part of His family. 

This week, we welcome Pastor Ray Hudson from City Center Church in Berkeley, CA. Drawing from Psalm 46:10 and Matthew 11:28–30, Pastor Ray encourages us to embrace stillness over busyness by taking on Jesus' yoke and doing things His way.
