In creation, God did the best work. And in creating man and woman the universe must have been in awe. This was creation that reflected the image of the God of the universe, incredible! This reflection God, His image, was set in the most ideal and perfect world. It was meant to provide the happiest and healthiest life. Now it makes sense, why the devil hates the family and the marriage relationship...

In Genesis 1:26-28 God sets the identity and the context of every person on this planet. Three key aspects are: Created by Divinity, in the I mago Dei , and given distinct genders to make that image possible. To this we prayerfully study. Thank you for joining - Welcome to Campion.

So says the old proverb “For Want of a Nail” - For want of a nail the shoe was lost. For want of a shoe the horse was lost. For want of a horse the rider was lost. For want of a rider the message was lost. For want of a message the battle was lost. For want of a battle the kingdom was lost. And all for the want of a horseshoe nail. In the small things, God shows up in a big way. Welcome to Campion...

It’s the feeling triggered by a familiar sight or sound, and you feel you have experienced it before - the French tell us to call it déjà vu (meaning, already seen). Somewhere between 60-70% of people in good health experience some form of déjà vu in their lifetime, and most of these times happening between the ages of 15-25 years old (apparently your as your memory begins to diminish so does your...

When God called Moses to be His ambassador, Moses came up with all kinds of excuses as to why he wasn't the right man for the job. Are we using those same excuses when God calls us to action for Him today?

A farmer lost his watch in the barn. It was a family heirloom and of great value. After searching the hay for a long while; he gave up. Sharing his plight with some of the children playing outside one young boy offered to help. Minutes later the same boy emerged from the barn with the precious watch. Incredulous, the farmer asked how he found it. “I sat quietly and listened until I heart the ticki...

As we prepare for our worship and study, let me introduce it with the story below. On the slope of Long’s Peak lies the ruin of a gigantic tree. Naturalists tell us that it stood for some four hundred years. It was a seedling when Columbus landed at San Salvador, and half grown when the pilgrims settled at Plymouth. During the course of its long life, it was struck by lightning fourteen times and...

Individually, snowflakes are some of the most delicate things in the natural world. However, we are reminded each winter of what happens when they gather together. Even the most fragile can become a potent force when they form groups. This was a lesson that the Apostle Paul knew, and he encouraged his audience to take this message to heart too: "And let us consider one another in order to stir up...

Last week the pastoral team took some time to pray through the vision and focus for our corner of God’s work, the Campion Community. Through prayer and study the pastors felt compelled to reestablish our collective focus especially on two components of our mission statement: Grow , through the Grow Groups and the culture of community and care they make. And Go , primarily seeking others through ou...

Come Alive In Prayer by Pavel Goia

In the African wilderness an animal killed by a predator feeds many other species. The cat may make the kill and eat a large part of the animal, then come smaller predators and then comes the clean up crew of the vultures. Around the time of the vultures and after them come the hyenas. The aggressive pack animals will come in and clean up a kill consuming even the bones. Well good for them. As sad...

Joe was an Olympic high diver. He was with his friend, Bob in California who had built this big in-door swimming pool with a very high diving board. Bob was a Christian and he had been praying for his friend, Joe, to accept Jesus as his personal Savior. At about midnight Joe couldn’t sleep. So, he decided he would go out and practice some dives. He went out to the pool and the moon was shining thr...

Come Alive in Prayer by Pastor Pavel Goia

The great moral powers of the soul are faith, hope, and love. {3T 187.1} According to Paul in Corinthians, “But now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. (13:13) We can hope in accordance with the desires of men and end hopeless. Or we can invite Christ within and have the hope of glory. Speaking of hope, John Maxwell pipes up with the line "Where there is no hop...

No one remembers on their own where and when they were born. We have to be told by those who know. But it is an important bit of information. Even more important is the reason why Jesus was born here. And this is the season when we are reminded of His birth. He was born here, and that changes everything. Welcome to Campion. Our speaker today is Elder Gary Patterson. Elder Patterson has served nume...

Walter Summerford, a British officer in World War I, was struck by lighting while on his horse and became paralyzed. After the war he moved to Canada, and while out fishing he was struck by lightning again. Then six years later while walking in a park, he was struck again. Finally, Mr. Summerford was laid to rest in 1932, buried in Mountain View Cemetery in Vancouver. It was four years after his d...

When I (Pastor Mike) was a kid, this week was always a big deal to me. The final draft of my most important project was due, and I spent hours polishing it. On Thanksgiving Day each year, I presented my parents with my Official Christmas Wish List. Usually between 4-6 pages long, my list was ranked and listed where to go to get the items for the best price. Wish lists aren’t new creations. However...

In case we didn’t wake up to enough fear, headlines this week shared that that a massive funnel-web spider with fangs capable of piercing human fingernails has been found. (Even though it was found in Australia, the spider will find a way to show up in your dreams at night). The half dinosaur, half spider was turned in by an anonymous person in a Tupperware container without any labels. They are n...

The “Socratia Exorhiza” palm is unique because it moves from one place to another until it reaches more sunny places. The way it moves is to grow new roots in the foreground, while the old ones die and are displaced. The distance covered in a year may be 20 meters. This strange roaming plant is found in Central American countries of Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama. No doubt the rest of the plant...

Do you want to know what makes God mad? Consider this... How would a father and mother feel, did they know that their child, lost in the cold and the snow, had been passed by, and left to perish, by those who might have saved it? Would they not be terribly grieved, wildly indignant? Would they not denounce those murderers with wrath hot as their tears, intense as their love? The sufferings of ever...

The Lord’s Supper (our communion) was the Passover meal. That was the last meal Jesus had with His disciples before His crucifixion and was full of symbolism from the last meal the Hebrews had in Egypt before their deliverance. There was one last lesson God wanted to teach the Hebrews that night that the disciples had to learn, and we must also learn as we wait for our deliverance on the edge of e...
