The Necessary Investigation II

Pastor Nelson Mercado

Mar 8, 2026

Many Adventists grapple with the accusations of plagiarism against Ellen G. White. A common question that arises is, “Can an inspired author edit their own writings or incorporate words from uninspired sources?” Join us for the second part of this important discussion on the trustworthiness of the gift of prophecy.

The Necessary Investigation

Feb 27, 2026

Accusations of plagiarism against Ellen G. White began to surface in the 1970s. Many Seventh-day Adventists (SDAs) have lost their belief in the gift of prophecy and have even left the Adventist faith due to these claims. Is there any validity to these accusations?

The Tossing of the Waves

Pastor Nelson Mercado

Spiritual immaturity is a significant issue within the church, leading to confusion, division, and disunity. It is imperative that we take action to address and correct this. But what can we do?

The Dangers of Spiritual Immaturity

Pastor Nelson Mercado

Feb 7, 2026

The phrase "immature and sluggish Christian" is contradictory. However, many Christians remain spiritually immature, only consuming the basic teachings of the word of God without progressing. What are the dangers of spiritual immaturity? Let’s explore this further by examining Hebrews 5:11-14.

The Sky is NOT the Limit

God may not always say yes to our prayers, but He is faithful in answering them because He has done so before. As we begin a new year, we should ask the Holy Spirit to enter every area of our lives. With Him, there are no limits to the amazing things we can accomplish. God's power knows no bounds!

Clarity in the midst of Chaos

In Christ, we have the power to stay spiritually focused in a world of political chaos.

Our Blessed Hope

Pastor Nelson Mercado

Jan 3, 2026

Many people acknowledge the imminent return of Jesus, yet some argue reasons for why He should not hurry. These arguments have led many to forget "The Blessed Hope."

You Won't Break

Sherman Cox II

Dec 27, 2025

The prophet Isaiah boldly states that a bruised reed will not break and a dim wick will not be extinguished. When life challenges us to our limits, we prevail not just through our toughness, but because of a powerful inner strength given to us by God that carries us through the struggle.

White as Snow: God with us

Pastor Nelson Mercado

Dec 6, 2025

"And He shall be called Immanuel." In biblical times, a name carried deep meaning. God’s love for us was so immense that He chose to become one of us, and in doing so, gave us the greatest gift of all.

White as Snow: Sparkle & Shine

Pastor Nelson Mercado

We often hear about the importance of walking with Jesus, but what does that really mean? The story of David offers a clear example of what that walk can look like.

Keep on Walking

Elder Uche Sampson

Oct 25, 2025

The Christian life is a journey - a long, sometimes painful walk toward our true home in Christ. But along the road, Jesus walks with us, shapes us, forgives us, strengthens us, and helps us find the way home.

For such a Time as this

Pastor Daniel Spencer

Oct 11, 2025

The world is in disarray. We are witnessing a lack of true masculinity. This crisis impacts not only the present but also future generations. It is time for men to rise to the challenge of 'The Making of REAL Men.' Men are now called to action 'for such a time as this!'

What do YOU value?

Pastor Nelson Mercado

Oct 4, 2025

Have you ever considered how you spend your money? What we choose to spend our money on reveals our values. Join us as we explore what Jesus said about earthly treasures in contrast to heavenly treasures.

The Adventist Movement: An Accident or God’s Providence?

Elder Uche Sampson

Sep 27, 2025

Some individuals have left the Adventist faith, and more may follow suit in light of Satan’s total onslaught against Christianity, particularly the Seventh-day Adventist Church. This message emphasizes the prophetic purpose of the Adventist movement as an encouragement to draw closer to Christ through daily communion and to stand firm in the faith.

Pringles: A Philosophy for Failure

Alberto Mercado

Sep 13, 2025

We often think that we need to be perfect in order to be used by God. However, scripture presents the story of someone who seemed unlikely to be chosen by God but eventually became a hero of the faith.

The Joy of Anticipation

Pastor Nelson Mercado

Sep 6, 2025

There is a well-known phrase that says, "Don't be so heavenly minded that you become of no earthly good." This phrase is often used to criticize those who think too much about heaven. However, are there benefits to focusing on our heavenly rewards?

Can You Hear It?

Sherman Cox II

Aug 30, 2025

During a three-and-a-half-year drought in Israel, Elijah declared, "I hear the sound of abundance in rain" (1 Kings 18:41). Faith often hears God's promise before it sees it. When all you see is drought, trust that His abundance is on the way.
