In this episode, Pastor Ted Wilson talks about the end of time and if we are really living in the last days of earth's history. A well-known and respected research organization, the Pew Research Center, once conducted a survey asking people if they believe in the "end times." Based on the results, two of five Americans affirmed their belief. Also, 55% of U.S. adults, even those claiming to be atheists, believe Jesus will someday return. This belief in the second coming of Christ is one of our core beliefs as Seventh-day Adventists. We believe in His imminent, visible return as much as we trust in His promise: "Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also" (John 14:1-3, NKJV). Christ's second coming is the ultimate hope of the ages—the hope that burns within our hearts and is the climax of history. While no one can predict its specific date, the Bible has given us signs pointing to the time just before Jesus' return. That time is now! Realizing its nearness, the urgency of proclaiming the three angels' messages comes into focus. The cry must go out to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people: "Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and springs of water" (Revelation 14:7, NKJV). To proclaim those messages, we must receive, believe, and be revived by them. They shine through us as light to others as they become part of us. This is our commission from God, as given in Revelation 14. As we look forward to another year, Ellen White gives us this inspired counsel: "With the commencement of this new year, you should dedicate yourselves to God. Now give yourself to Him, soul, body, and spirit, to do His will. Let all selfishness…all your faults, and besetting sins die with the old year. Begin this new year to the glory of God. Pray to Him, morning, noon, and night, to give you a meek and humble spirit, a mild temper, an affectionate disposition. Live as you have never lived before. Begin this new year with new feelings, fresh desires, and a strong determination to glorify God" (Youth's Instructor, January 1, 1856). Are you willing to give yourself wholly to God? Are you willing to be used by Him in these last days of earth's history to share His final message of redemption, love, and judgment as proclaimed in the three angels' messages?

God’s Power in Nature and Human Hearts “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork” (Psalm 19:1, NKJV). Do you ever wonder how powerful our God is as you realize the vastness of nature? The vastness of the universe’s splendor puts us in awe as we consider Isaiah 40:26. “Lift up your eyes on high, and see who has created these things, who brings out their host by number; He calls them all by name, by the greatness of His might and the strength of His power; not one is missing.” Nature shows how great our Creator is, and no human perspective or science will ever be able to fully explain His power and love for everything He made. As we see God’s power in nature, may it serve as a reminder of the power of God so that we would experience it in our own lives as we strive to become everything He has called us to be. Watch as Ben Clausen discusses God's power in nature and humanity. The Seventh-day Adventist Church has been an established denomination since 1863.

In Isaiah 7:14, an angel appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying: "Behold the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel, which is translated, 'God with us.'" When Jesus came to this earth, He was called “Immanuel.” The very name means “God with us.” You see, God has promised that He is with us. He is always with us. He promises to never leave us. This #short video from Pastor Ted Wilson's weekly message reminds us that even through our trials, our difficulties, and our failures, God still holds out His hand longing to be closer to us and us to Him. In Exodus 25:8, God asked Moses to build a sanctuary for Him to dwell among His people. Listen to Pastor Ted Wilson's message as he reminds us that God still longs to dwell with His people. He holds out an amazing gift of salvation – will you reach out and take hold of it today? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gspFrsNPsQ&list=PL-k2Gb-DBYo_ANrUJhHN2_4bSlMDTjuqQ&index=94 ———————————————————————————— The Seventh-day Adventist Church has been an established denomination since 1863.
