Worship at Spencerville

Send us Fan Mail The story of the birth of Jesus contains “the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God” (Romans 11:33). As we enter into the season of our Savior's birth, we invite you to join us as we look at different aspects of the first Advent narrative. As part of Youth Sabbath, our message this week will be presented in two parts. The first by Rachel Ingram-Clay, and...

Send us Fan Mail Let's be real for a moment: all of us are guilty of taking things for granted. We overlook the amazing gifts, large and small, that bless and enable our daily lives. We forget, but God remembers—and blesses us anyway. Listen as Pastor Chad shares the final part of his three-part series from Psalm 136 titled, "He Remembers Those Who Forget." DO YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABO...

Send us Fan Mail Psalm 136 tells us that our God is a God of wonders. He created all things and has preserved His people throughout the ages. Because of this, Scripture says we can trust Him with our future. Listen as Pastor Chad Stuart shares the second part of his sermon series on Psalm 136 titled, "The God of Wonders." DO YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BIBLE? If you're searching fo...

Send us Fan Mail Living a life of thankfulness to God is more than just acknowledging Him with our lips. Thankfulness is a life posture—something we do with our whole hearts and entire being. Living a life outside of this posture can allow other priorities to creep in, however, the Bible tells us how we can stop this from happening. Listen as Pastor Chad Stuart shares the first message in multi-pa...

Send us Fan Mail “Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” Or so goes the old schoolyard expression. But the truth of the matter is that words make an impact—good or bad. They can be used to tear down and abuse others, or they can be used to lift up and heal. How do you use your words? Can we make a difference for God’s kingdom, as well as the culture in which we live...

Send us Fan Mail As sinful human beings, we will not always agree with one another. Even in our disagreement, the Bible provides counsel on how those protesting and those being protested against should respond to one another. Listen as Pastor Chad Stuart takes a look at the council of Scripture on this topic—important insights for where we are currently as a church, a movement, and a nation. DO YO...

Send us Fan Mail God is light. From His light, we are given light to direct us where we're to go. God is responsible for His light—He's proven it many times in the history of our global church. How can we participate in the work to which we've been invited? What are the implications of receiving His call? We're privileged to welcome Dr. Galina Stele as she includes us into her...

Send us Fan Mail Focus. An important word as we dedicate our Senior class to God's will this Sabbath. However, the message isn't only for them. A call to focus is something that each of us would do well to heed; personally, in our family life, in our organizations and institutions. In short, our focus, or lack thereof, will determine where we'll go and what we'll achieve in thi...

Send us Fan Mail Jesus' very nature is love. He consistently works to be close to us. How can we draw closer to him? Does scripture give us the instructions or tools to do so? Yes, it does! Watch as Pastor Chad Stuart shares a message titled, "Near to Jesus." DO YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BIBLE? If you're searching for a warm, welcoming place to grow your faith, Spencerville...

Send us Fan Mail What do you appreciate most about the Sabbath? Have you wondered if there are activities and practices that could add value to the way that we experience God's holy day? If so, can they be done in a way that's consistent with the Biblical command to "keep it holy?" Listen as Elder Bill Knott, the editor of Adventist Review and Adventist World Magazine, shares a...

Send us Fan Mail The Bible calls us to be salt, which might seem like a strange metaphor to some. Yet, when you consider salt's ubiquity in our food—adding flavor and preserving—you may begin to understand the comparison. However, the way the salt is used is just as important. Listen as May-Ellen Colón shares a message from our Outreach Ministry emphasis Sabbath titled, "Salt is Not the...

Send us Fan Mail When Jesus died for your sins, you were set free—that's what the Bible says in John 8:36. But then what? What are we to do with this freedom? It's not a trick question, the answer is in the title of this week's message. Yet many of us get hung up on the "how." As our local congregation looks forward to our Ministry Outreach Sabbath on September 8, we invit...

Send us Fan Mail There are times when life takes an unexpected turn. Three friends faced just such a turn in Daniel 3 at the fiery furnace. What can we learn from their experience that will allow us to face the unexpected turns in our own lives? Listen as Pastor Andrea Jakobsons shares a message for teacher dedication Sabbath titled, "Dedication." DO YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BIBLE? I...

Send us Fan Mail You may remember a song we sang as children about the wise man who built his house upon the rock. The story from the final verses of Matthew 7 explores the implications of building our lives on a solid foundation. Join us as Costin Jordache takes a practical look at what it means to build our lives on this solid foundation in the final message of our Peculiar Living series titled,...

Send us Fan Mail As Christians, our lives are transformed both in an instant (justification) and over the course of a lifetime (sanctification). As the fruit of this life change, the Christian should always seek to do God's will, but can we recognize it when presented to us? How will it be made manifest in our lives, and how can it impact the lives of others? We invite you to listen as Pastor...

Send us Fan Mail You may have heard someone say, "follow your truth," or "live your truth." However, is truth something that can be defined individually? Is it something that can be changed on an as-needed basis? We invite you to listen as Pastor Chad Stuart continues our sermon series from the Sermon on the Mount in the New Testament book of Matthew in a message titled, "...

Send us Fan Mail Jesus makes a statement in Matthew 7 that probably stunned the established religious order of that day. He summarizes, in effect, the entirety of scripture up until that time in one phrase. What is that phrase, and if it was so important then, does it still have an application for us today? Listen as Pastor Lerone Carson delivers a message titled, "Peculiar Living: The Golden...

Send us Fan Mail In Scripture, there is a great amount of importance given to the practice of prayer in the life of a believer. Yet, on average, we spend very little time in this practice. How does the Bible tell us to pray? How would our lives change if we paid more heed to this imperative call? Listen as Pastor Gaspar Colon brings us a message titled, "Peculiar Living: Importunate Prayer.&q...

Send us Fan Mail Over the past few weeks, we've looked at the Gospel of Matthew, specifically the teachings of Jesus as delivered during His famous Sermon on the Mount. We've seen that God wants to grow us—taking the focus off of ourselves and instead looking at Him. We've learned that God wants to be our priority—over money, our career, and our possessions. In this message, Pastor...

Send us Fan Mail As you survey your life, where do your priorities land? Where is your focus? Is it family? Your career? What about finances? We invite to you listen as Pastor Chad Stuart explores what the Bible tells us about our priorities in a message from June 30, 2018 titled, "Peculiar Living: Transient Treasures." DO YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BIBLE? If you're searching for...

Send us Fan Mail Jesus promised a sanctified life for his followers. That doesn't mean an easy life, but rather a life that continues to grow in holiness as we increasingly look at Him rather than ourselves. Are there disciplines by which we can better position ourselves to focus on the Divine instead of on ourselves? Listen as Pastor Andrea Jakobsons shares the seventh message of our Peculia...

Send us Fan Mail What is prayer supposed to be? What is its role in the life of a Christian? The Lord's Prayer holds several important lessons on prayer, taught by the Master himself. Listen as Pastor Chad Stuart shares how this brief conversation in Matthew 6 can provide a road map for personal prayer that will last until eternity. DO YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BIBLE? If you're search...

Send us Fan Mail How should we treat those who offend us? What can we learn from the way Jesus treated people—especially to those who may have deserved it the least.
