Dear Church Family,
October 22 marks 175 years since the Great Disappointment, and the next phase of the Advent Movement which would morph into the Seventh-day Adventist Church within twenty years of that disappointing day in October. My sermon this past Sabbath began a three-part series reflecting on our Adventist past, and our upcoming future, one that culminates in the return of Jesus to this crazy world!
If you haven't heard the sermon from this past Sabbath, I would encourage you to do so prior to this Sabbath's sermon, which will pick up where I left off last week. I don't believe for a moment that God has forsaken us on this planet, and everything Jesus promised to His disciples is applicable to us today. As we continue the series we will reflect on the disappointment felt by hundreds of thousands, and what many of them did with that disappointment. Some went forward in faith, others abandoned their faith in Jesus, and walked away from His promises with discouragement.
I hope you will "tune-in" to the next part of the series, and find hope for your future in what others went through 175 years ago this month, in 1844.
