Campion Church

Have you ever felt ordinary? Today, we’re in part two of a five-part se- ries called, “What God Can Do Through Ordinary You.” It’s an exciting look at how God used one seemingly ordinary guy, Moses, to become the deliverer and leader for God’s people. This series also reveals how God longs to use you, as well. In this second installment, we’ll examine, “The Subtle Strategy of the Enemy to Stop You...

Dealing with disappointment by Pastor Rodlie Ortiz.

Today is the first Sabbath back for all the students, teachers and staff at Campion Academy and H.M.S. Richards Elementary School. It’s also my first official Sabbath as lead pastor. So please allow me to share this on behalf of the whole Campion Church team: We are so glad you’re here. This is your spiritual home. We’re cheering you on and we long to do everything possible to walk with you in you...

Christian life and Christian worship is more than an hour or two in a building once a week—it encompasses the entire life; it is lifestyle; it is Christian witness in the home, on the street, in the business or educa- tional setting and online. It is how we live out the Christian life in a rela- tionship with Jesus Christ. It stands to reason, then, that abuse should not be part of that life. That...

Have you ever felt like you, your family or your church were a ship in the middle of a storm that was about to be swallowed up by the waves and violent winds? I can relate, too. Paul can relate as well. As he was near- ing the end of his ministry, he could see all the churches he had built assailed by storms of division, false prophets, weak doctrines, licentious- ness, legalism, selfishness, powe...

Almost—sometimes it’s said in relief. Sometimes it’s said to excuse. Other times in grief. Whenever and however it’s said, it all points back to what might be: “What I could have, should have, glad I didn’t do.” To- day, as we study Acts 26, we’ll grapy with the most compelling “almost” statement in Scripture. The words of Herod Agrippa beg us to give a response. Welcome to Campion Church.  May th...

POD: Point of Decision. We make myriads of decisions every day. Some are mundane: “What to have for breakfast?” Some more serious: “Is this job/car/house for me?” Some decisions are life-changing: “Is this the person I trust and love enough to marry?” Some decisions are eternal: “God is speaking to me... What is my response?” Points of decision test our values. The more serious the POD, the more s...

Welcome to Campion Church. We are so glad you have come to worship with us. Our mission statement is to Know, Grow and Go. As we study Acts 20:7-12 together today, we hope and pray that this story of the church in Troas will speak to us in fulfilling this mission. Join us in know- ing Jesus more, growing into the caring community that He intends for us to be, and also going into all the world to s...

What does it mean to follow in Jesus' steps? Can we still do that in 2023? This week at our Vacation Bible School we discovered the answer to those questions by reviewing some of the places that our Israel trip visited and applying key lessons about who Jesus is to our lives. After all, Jesus is still the Christ, the water and bread of life, the Savior and King of Kings. But, is He your Christ...

“A general slain in battle is lost to his army, but his death gives no additional strength to the enemy. But when a man of promi- nence joins the opposing force, not only are his services lost, but those to whom he joins himself gain a decided advantage." - Acts of the Apostles, 124 Welcome to Campion Church. Today in the third sermon in our series, Unshackled, we will learn more about how Go...

It was in the town of Antioch that Christians, or the party of Christ, as we were called, first became a force to be reckoned with. But the world did not know, and could never have been prepared, for what would take place. The gospel, the good news of a God who created, engineered, gave, died, resurrected and restored, all because of love, arguably became the strongest earth-shattering reality in...

Omari Amili grew up in the Pacific Northwest in homeless shelters, crack houses and foster homes. Due to his upbringing, he wanted to live a life of luxury, so at the age of 16, he started to steal from banks and used the money he stole to live a luxurious life. When he got caught, he was then incarcerated in prison for two years. This took a serious toll on both his mind and body. Before he got o...

Campion Church—You are our family. There are no words that have been introduced into the human tongue that communicate the impact on our lives of your life. Together, we have cried and laughed, ran and hiked, worshiped and petitioned, mourned and celebrated, pro- claimed and served. Our congregation and our community will never be the same because we did life together with Jesus. As a preacher, it...

Got something to say to yourself? The FutureMe app lets you write, schedule and send letters to yourself, friends or family. But here is the catch: You can schedule delivery to be six months or even 10 years in the future (thus the FutureMe title). What would you say to your 10- year future self? What about a letter for your eternity? Could it be that the cross was the future letter of Jesus to Hi...

Welcome to the Campion Seventh-day Adventist Church! Quick question: How did you get here? I don’t mean in the existential or biological way... I mean, literally, how did you end up at this address? Were you looking for a library, got here by accident and decided to stay? Did you leave home this morning, wanting to arrive in Dallas, Texas... but somehow, you’re here? Probably not. Driving or walki...

This Sabbath was Hope Channel Impact Day, presented by Derek Morris, the president of the Hope Channel.

On a quest to learn the reasons for success of the world’s fastest distance runners, journalist Adharanand Finn uprooted his wife and three children to live in the high-altitude hamlet of Iten, Kenya. Immersing himself in the highly disciplined training regimen of marathon runners, Adharanand dis- covered some surprising secrets to the competitors’ success. As Christians, the prize we seek is much...

Today is a new day. Today is a good day. Today we celebrate the Joy of Jesus in the way that He told us to, at His table, with the unleavened bread and the pure juice of the vine. As we continue to commemorate the greatest story of the greatest love expressed through the greatest events in the history of the Universe, we conclude our sermon series on Hebrews 12:1-3 by inviting you to the Lord'...

Having just gotten off my own long-haul flights this past week, I was particularly impacted by the news story of Emirates flight EK448 that left Dubai, United Arab Emirates at 10:30am on Friday, January 27, headed for Auckland, New Zealand. Thirteen (13) long hours of flying later, flight EK448 landed in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. You caught that, didn’t you?! After 13 hours of sitting in the ov...
