Satan Comes Out Ahead | May 20, 2023

Dear Palo Alto Adventist Church members and visitors, Sermon Summary   May the grace and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. This Sabbath, we approach the throne of Grace and share a few words rooted in the Word of God, specifically Mark 9:17-19. Let us turn our attention to this powerful passage that speaks to the depths of our faith, training, and the transformative work of our Savior. In this passage, we encounter a desperate father who brings his son to Jesus. The boy is possessed by a spirit that causes him great suffering and torment. The father pleads with Jesus, saying, "Teacher, I brought my son to you because he has a spirit that makes him unable to speak. Whenever it seizes him, it throws him down, and he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and becomes rigid. So, I asked your disciples to drive it out, but they couldn't." When we go to this scene, we encounter a situation filled with anguish, confusion, and despair. The disciples, who had been given authority to heal and cast out demons, were unable to help this tormented child. What we see therefore is a failure of training that allows Satan to come out ahead as the disciples fail. May the Lord be with us as we consider this passage. Join Us This Sabbath.

The Image of God | March 18, 2023

Dear Palo Alto Adventist Church members and visitors, This Sabbath, Elder Julian Lake will be our speaker. Below is the sermon summary. It is written that God created mankind in his own image. In the present day, it is not difficult to find God's likeness in the church or pop culture. But where did this image come from? And is it accurate? We will examine the images of God that we have today and their impact on our relationship with the Father. Dear Palo Alto Adventist Church members and visitors, This Sabbath, Pastor Stephen Gutierrez is going to be our speaker. He works full-time with a ministry called Streams of Light International, helping within the Evangelism Department. He focuses on planning mission trips, on-boarding churches, training members, planning outreaches, and overseeing the West Coast projects. Pastor Gutierrez has been married for almost 15 years and has a son who is 10 years old. He enjoys spending time with his family, sharing Jesus with people, eating yummy plant-based foods, and spending time outside in nature exercising. Pastor Gutierrez has worked in ministry for about nine years, having the privilege of pastoring a church, running youth literature evangelism programs, preaching evangelistic meetings, and thankful to spread a message of hope to a dying world! Sermon Summary Nearly 20 years ago, there was a devastating earthquake that brought on a huge, catastrophic tsunami off of the Indian Ocean. Sadly, many people lost their lives due to one important oversight. Come join us this Sabbath as we learn what went wrong, what we can learn from this, and what God is calling us to do in these last days! Join Us This Sabbath.
