Jesus states at the end of Matthew 28 to go in all the world…signifying that the gospel must be preached to those who have never heard of him.

This week we will study and look at some examples of how we can minister to our friends who are not in the church. Dow...

by Chris Famisaran To close out our final theme that we will explore the story of the death and resurrection of Jesus and what it means for us as believers. Not only was it predicted in the Old Testament, but Jesus indicates it openly to his unsuspecting disciples. We'll also look at his last words that He shared with the disciples to go forth as a church to share the good news. 

by Chris Famisaran As Adventists, we look forward to the coming of Jesus. In fact it's part of our name and identity. Yet this idea strikes fear in some who wonder, am I ready? This week we look at several chapters in the book of Matthew that point to Jesus' return, and how we can be better prepared for our Lord and Savior.

Every day we are faced with making decisions…some may be easy such as choosing what's for dinner, or it could be a harder decision with moral ethical ramifications. This week we look at how Jesus faced and learn from his example to make good strong decisions.

The call to discipleship is one that encompasses our whole lives. This week will look at several examples of how Jesus lived with a heart of humility and service, and how the gospel and ethics are tied together. 

by Chris Famisaran To build on last week's sermon, we will look at the theme of the Kingdom of Heaven, and how we are called to preach the good news of the Kingdom. But does Jesus mean the Kingdom of Heaven, in a present or future context? 

The week prior we looked at how Jesus is the fulfillment of many Old Testament promises This week we look to the Gospel of Matthew and find that he is not just any man, but the Messiah, a divine king, and Lord of our life. We will see that Jesus is all in Matthew, and how that shapes this gospel. Downey Adventist Church Worship Service Jesus, The Anointed One Chris Famisaran 21 August 2021 www.dow...

This week we begin a new series on the book of Matthew. The old testament is filled with many verses alluding to Jesus and His ministry.
