"Victory at Thanksgiving Dinner" | Head Elder Alex Clerk
Greetings, Beloved Congregation and Friends of Palo Alto Adventist Church, We are excited to worship together this Sabbath. I will be sharing a message from the Word of God that I believe is timely and important for each of us. The title is: "Victory at Thanksgiving Dinner." Scripture Reading: Psalm 118:14ā15 NKJV Message Summary Thanksgiving was more than a national holiday. It was a sacred moment, a pause, and a holy remembering. Around tables filled with food, surrounded by family and friends, we celebrated the goodness of God. But Psalm 118 reminds us that Thanksgiving is not just about blessings received, but victories given. And so this Sabbath we must declare that every believer that sat at their Thanksgiving table is a walking testimony of Godās victory. Not because the year has been easy. Not because everything went the way we hoped. Not because we avoided hardship. But because God carried us, strengthened us, and saved us. We warmly invite you to come with open hearts and minds as we worship, reflect, and grow together in faith. Happy Sabbath!

"Godās Pleasure and Need" | Head Elder Alex Clerk
Greetings, Beloved Congregation and Friends of Palo Alto Adventist Church, We are excited to worship together this Sabbath. I will be sharing a message from the Word of God that I believe is timely and important for each of us. The title is: "Godās Pleasure and Need." Scripture Reading: Acts 17:24-25 NKJV Message Summary Philosophers and believers alike have asked: āWhat can we possibly give to God? He owns the universe, He needs nothing, and He is complete in Himself.ā Yet, the Bible shows us that while God does not need us to add to His being, He delights in certain things that we freely give. What does God need, and why does he need them? That is our philosophical question. We warmly invite you to come with open hearts and minds as we worship, reflect, and grow together in faith.

"Listen to Him" | Elder Bert Williams
Greetings, Beloved Congregation and Friends of Palo Alto Adventist Church, We are excited to worship together this Sabbath. Please join us in welcoming Elder Bert Williams to our church as he leads us on a journey titled: "Listen to Him." Scripture Reading: 2 Peter 1:16-21 Message Summary: From Elder Bert Williams "We did not follow cleverly invented stories," Peter wrote, as though critics must have been making that accusation. No! Peter insists. "We were eyewitnesses of His majesty." Furthermore, Peter insists, we must "listen to Him." But Peter does seem to realize that, several decades after the actual event, most of his readers would not sense the same impact of Jesus' "transfiguration" as Peter himself hadāand still did. So, Peter proceeds with a different approach. We also have the word of the prophets, he writes. "And you will do well to pay attention to it." He urges his readersāhe urges usāto understand that the same light he and his friends experienced with Jesus on Mount Hermon is available to all of us from Scripture as "light shining in a dark place." We warmly invite you to come with open hearts and minds as we worship, reflect, and grow together in faith. Happy Sabbath!

"Trading Security for a Savior" | Brother Michael Wixwat
Greetings, Beloved Congregation and Friends of Palo Alto Adventist Church, We are excited to worship together this Sabbath. Please join us in welcoming Brother Michael Wixwat to our church as he leads us on a journey titled: "Trading Security for a Savior." Scripture Reading: Mark 10:17-22 Message Summary: From Brother Michael Wixwat We have a hard time fully trusting God with our life, and our resources. We often opt for the physical things of life that provide us with comfort, control, and security rather than fully trusting in God and following Him. The invitation to follow Christ has never changed: āCome follow Me.ā It is an invitation to trade the false security of this world for the unshakable security of His grace. We warmly invite you to come with open hearts and minds as we worship, reflect, and grow together in faith. Happy Sabbath!

"As a Man Thinketh: How Our Thoughts Effect Our Ability to Fight Disease" | Michael Buffington
Greetings, Beloved Congregation and Friends of Palo Alto Adventist Church, We are excited to worship together this Sabbath. Please join us in welcoming Brother Michael Buffington back to our church as he leads us on a journey titled: "As a Man Thinketh: How Our Thoughts Effect Our Ability to Fight Disease." Scripture Reading: Psalm 139:13-14 KJV Message Summary: From Brother Michael Buffington This sermon reveals the powerful truth that our thoughts, beliefs, and spiritual life directly impact our physical health, echoing Scriptureās declaration, āAs a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.ā Combining biblical wisdom, the insights of James Allen, modern medical research, and the Spirit of Prophecy, it shows that God designed the body with built-in healing systems that are activated by peace, faith, gratitude, and prayerābut shut down by fear, anxiety, negativity, and stress. While diet and healthy habits matter, true wellness begins in the mind and heart, and healing is both physical and spiritual wholeness. This message invites us to renew our minds, trust in God, and experience the health and peace He intended for us. We warmly invite you to come with open hearts and minds as we worship, reflect, and grow together in faith. Happy Sabbath!

"The Heart and Personality of David" | Head Elder Alex Clerk
Greetings, Beloved Congregation and Friends of Palo Alto Adventist Church, We look forward to worshiping together this Sabbath. I will be taking us on a journey entitled: "The Heart and Personality of David." Scripture Reading: āOne thing I have desired of the Lord, That will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord All the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the Lord, And to inquire in His temple.ā - Psalms 27:4 NKJV Message Summary Be as part of our human nature, God has given us psychological defense mechanismsāways our minds protect us from emotional pain, guilt, fear, or feelings that are too difficult to handle. These mechanisms act like automatic safety shields, helping us cope when life feels overwhelming or threatening. Everyone uses themānot just people with problemsābut sometimes, they can also keep us from seeing the truth or growing spiritually and emotionally. Example: DenialāPretending something isnāt happening because itās too painful to face. For instance, someone may refuse to believe a relationship is ending or that they have a serious health issue. David, in the Bible, used many of these mechanisms before God. By examining the ways he often responded to lifeās challenges, we gain insight into how his personality developed. Perhaps his honest struggles and use of these defenses are part of the reason God called him āa man after His own heart.ā This week, we take a closer look at how blessed David wasādespite his mistakesāand how his life teaches us about Godās grace and human growth. We invite you to join us with open hearts as we worship, reflect, and grow together in faith. Happy Sabbath! In His grace, Head Elder Alex Clerk

The Money Changers Return" | Elder Julian Lake
Greetings, Beloved Congregation and Friends of Palo Alto Adventist Church, We look forward to worshiping together this Sabbath. Elder Julian Lake will be taking us on a journey entitled: "The Money Changers Return" Scripture Reading: Mark 11:15-18 Message Summary (Elder Julian) Jesus' reaction to the money changers stands out in the Bible among his other interactions. What angered Jesus so much about the money changers that he resorted to flipping their tables and driving them out of the temple? Where did the moneylenders go after they left? We invite you to join us with open hearts as we worship, reflect, and grow together in faith. Happy Sabbath!

"Touched by the Master" | Head Elder Alex Clerk
Greetings, Beloved Congregation and Friends of Palo Alto Adventist Church, We look forward to worshiping together this Sabbath. I will be taking us on a journey entitled: "Touched by the Master" Scripture Reading: Luke 13:10-13 Message Summary Our Lord Jesus, forever watchful, notices a woman who had been bent over for eighteen years and says, āWoman, you are set free from your infirmity.ā When He lays His hands on her, she immediately stands upright and praises God. This moment reveals the heart of Christ: He sees our pain even when we donāt call out; He offers not mere sympathy but deliverance; and His healing always leads to worship. No matter how long a burden has been carried, His grace can bring freedom and restoration in an instant. We invite you to join us with open hearts as we worship, reflect, and grow together in faith.
