Worship at Spencerville

Send us Fan Mail It’s been over 500 years since Martin Luther posted his 95 Theses on the door of the Wittenberg church in Germany, calling for reform. Though imperfect, God used Martin Luther to spur a new path for Christianity. However, as important as reforming systems may be, God also (and perhaps foremost) desires a reformed people. People who constantly search, read, and listen for His voice...

Send us Fan Mail "Seventy times seven." That's Jesus' response when He was asked how many times we should forgive—that's 490 times, if you're keeping track. However, rather than a literal number, Jesus is suggesting we keep extending grace through forgiveness. Why? Because that same grace and forgiveness have been extended to us. What would the world look like if we l...

Send us Fan Mail As human beings created in God's image, we are heirs to the ultimate Treasure—Jesus. However, to claim our Inheritance, we must accept the citizenship offered to us and make God’s priorities our own. Listen to this powerful sermon replay as Pastor John Gonzalez shares the second in this five-part series titled “This is Who We Are” in a message, “Citizens of Heaven.” DO YOU HA...

Send us Fan Mail Wife. Mother. Husband. Brother. Aunt. Pastor. Doctor. These are all labels that speak to our identity— to who we are. However, when we become Christians, that is, believers and followers of Jesus Christ, we take on a completely new identity—one that supersedes all others. As Christians, part of the call is to live as missionaries for Jesus at all times and in all places. What does...

Send us Fan Mail When Jesus invited His disciples to join Him for the Last Supper before His crucifixion, He invited them as they were. Perfection was not expected. "Take this bread, drink this juice; do this in remembrance of Me" was Jesus' grace-filled invitation to take part in all that He offers, up to and including His life, which was sacrificed on their behalf—and ours—just ho...

Send us Fan Mail Last week, we kicked off a two-part series introducing the OneVoice27 campaign and its message for the world, "Jesus makes all things new." This week, Pastor Chad Stuart shares the second and final message in this short but powerful series. Behind this campaign is a calling that God has placed on the life of every Christian—to be a missionary. To do this, we must stay fo...

Send us Fan Mail This week, we're kicking off a new initiative in conjunction with the OneVoice27 initiative being launched by the Seventh-day Adventist Church, titled "All Things New." In this two-part sermon series, Pastor Chad will take us back to one of the seminal events of Jesus' ministry and share why it marks the beginning of a movement that changed the trajectory of th...

Send us Fan Mail Signs are helpful; they help us get where we need to go. As Adventists, we have our eyes set on the future Advent of Jesus. It’s right in our name! Matthew 24 shares several signs that this earth is drawing ever closer to “the end.” These signs aren’t given to scare us or make us worry; they’re for a completely different purpose. What is it? Listen as Pastor Chad shares the final...

Send us Fan Mail In the first two messages of the series, Pastor Chad spoke about the importance of personal discipline and the awareness we need of our own condition to avoid spiritual sleep. This week, in the third sermon of this four-part series, he'll examine what the Bible says about "being ready" for Jesus' return. What have we done with the talents He's given us? Ha...

Send us Fan Mail Last week, in the first sermon in our series, Pastor Chad spoke about the importance of personal discipline as a way to prepare ourselves for the work of the Lord as we live in our “last days.” In part two, he’ll look at what may be the greatest danger to Christianity, which isn’t outward opposition, but Spiritual sleep! Listen in as we continue our sermon series titled “Until He...

Send us Fan Mail As Adventists, we spend a lot of time thinking about Jesus' future return, and rightly so. But in the New Testament Book of Matthew, we find Jesus himself spending a lot of time focused on the present value of living out our faith. Listen in as Pastor Chad begins a four-part series titled "Until He Comes." In it, he'll unpack Matthew 24 and 25 in a way that shi...

Send us Fan Mail Why do we exist? No, really? Why are we here in this location, at this particular moment in time? Do we believe it to be divinely appointed? Or is it just a coincidence? When we opened our new school building in 2011, it was the capstone of more than 15 years of planning and preparation. Was it easy? No. Did it involve a lot of prayer and sacrifice? Yes. Spencerville Adventist Aca...

Send us Fan Mail An open chair. A question. "Is this seat taken?"  We all know what it's like to take a seat. In a classroom. An airplane. A theater. Around a dinner table. Not every seat invites the same questions, or requires the same answers. Which seat do you choose most often? What does your choice have to do with worship? Perhaps more than you think... Listen as Pastor Erwin N...

Send us Fan Mail Jesus was never rushed, even when He was busy. He consistently made time for interruptions, seeing them as opportunities to love. What does His example teach us about balancing the pressures of everyday life with the call to show compassion to those around us? Listen to this riveting message from Pastor Erwin Nanasi as he explores the parable of the Good Samaritan. We may discover...

Send us Fan Mail **Our apologies, the audio cut out, and we missed the first 15 seconds of the sermon. It's a fantastic message, so we decided to share it anyway. You may have heard it said that, as Christians, we're called to live in a way that is "in the world" but not "of the world." Pitching our tents in places in or near "the world" is part of the call,...

Send us Fan Mail July 4, 2026, marks the 250th anniversary of the Great American experiment. As we consider why and how it began, it’s worth also taking a look at what the Bible says about how it will end. Not to focus on the end itself, but to ask ourselves how we, as residents of this kingdom, can live first and foremost as citizens of a higher one. Does the United States enjoy freedoms that are...

Send us Fan Mail One of the key attributes of any relationship is a respectful, open, and honest dialogue. It's no different when we talk with God. This week, Pastor Kandace Zollman examines the life of Moses, someone who had very direct and sometimes confrontational conversations with God on a variety of topics. As we think about our posture before God and how we address Him, we'll have...

Send us Fan Mail If we’re honest with ourselves as we look around at the state of the world, it doesn’t take an observant person to see that there is much brokenness. If we continue that honesty and assess our own hearts, perhaps we can admit that there is brokenness in us, too. How do we reconcile that perception of brokenness with the idea that we’re not only made by God in His image, but that w...

Send us Fan Mail The example of Jesus, recorded in Luke 22:19, asks His disciples to participate in the Lord's Supper as they remember Him. When Jesus said those words, He was fully aware of what awaited Him. He knew that death was the price He would pay. What was it about Jesus that caused Him to take the form of a human being to experience the want and suffering of a life on Earth, all to m...

Send us Fan Mail Back in 2022, Pastor Chad preached a series on stewardship, aiming to upend the notion that stewardship was only about money. In the third part of that series, he made the point that stewardship applies to every area of our lives, as it involves managing the gifts God sees fit to bestow upon us. In this message, titled "Living Holy, Living Wholly," Pastor Chad continues...

Send us Fan Mail You might be familiar with the prophet Moses and the Old Testament narrative of the Jewish exodus from Egypt. But there's a story behind the narrative that is probably less familiar. On Mother's Day weekend, we're looking at the women of the Bible who directly impacted—and helped bring about—one of Scripture's most pivotal events. Why? Listen in as Pastor Chad...

Send us Fan Mail This weekend marks thirty years since Pastor Chad became a follower of Jesus. Following Jesus has always come with a price—and that price is rising. In our culture, following Jesus means living by a value system the world finds irreconcilable with its own. That friction is not hit-or-miss. It will hit all true followers of Jesus. How can we stand in the face of growing opposition?...

Send us Fan Mail The disciples were struggling with Jesus' words. He'd foretold His death and was telling them what would come next. In the New Testament book of James (James 15:7-15), Jesus introduces His friends to the Holy Spirit—the Advocate or Helper (depending on your version) before laying out the Spirit's ministry roles. What are the roles of the Spirit, according to Jesus?...

Send us Fan Mail The early church didn't start with an outreach strategy. They simply lived in a manner so different that their neighbors couldn't look away. From the plague-ridden streets of Alexandria to the court of a pagan emperor, history continues to tell the same story: when a community becomes completely devoted to Jesus on the inside, they become irresistible on the outside. Lis...
