Humanity has tackled the issue of good and evil for thousands of years. Many of us wonder, am I really a good person? If the judgment day is coming soon, what will be said of you? In the same way that we judge whether or not something is good or bad, the Bible speaks of Jesus who will cast ultimate judgment between good and evil when He returns. But how do we end up on the right side? Watch Episode 7 of Unlocking Bible Prophecies: Digging Deeper, where Pastor Chris Holland seeks biblical answers to this very critical question. MEET THE HOST:
Pastor Chris Holland is a pastor, teacher, and international speaker for Adventist World Radio. Over the course of 20 years of ministry, Chris has had the opportunity to serve in various capacities, including as Speaker/Director for It Is Written Canada. Chris has been involved in media ministry since his early undergraduate years in college where he was involved with both television and radio programs. It is his sincere desire to know Jesus more and to utilize the many media outlets to preach and teach God’s Word with power.

There is a lot to discover about Adventist missionaries. This time, we will talk about the Inter-European Division. This place was the area of the denomination’s first overseas mission. ESDA and the European Division
A wide range of individuals from the European Division helped in the making of the online Encyclopedia of Seventh-day Adventists. Up to this time, they are in the process of sharing Christian stories that are not well known to everyone. Indeed, ESDA is a game-changer. It has authors from different ethnicities and various regions. Its contents are increasing in number. The real missionaries
When one looks closely at the articles, the bottom line is that everyone is a missionary. Christian missionaries are not only those who cross the seas and countries. This is what scholars found out in their historiography. (Historiography is the study of the methods of historians in developing history.) Tales of the amphibian missionaries
In this episode, Dr. Stefan Höschele and Dr. Chigemezi Wogu share some of the moving and surprising tales like Who are the amphibian missionaries? Why did an 18-year old man leave the comforts of his home, choose to be a stranger, and translate the Old Testament? Who was the first president of the German Adventist mission? Yes, ESDA offers many touching mission stories. Sadly, some have died in the fields. Others lost loved ones along the way. Many of them have sacrificed their lives. All these shaped the history of the Seventh-day Adventist church. Know their life stories here: https://encyclopedia.adventist.org/ Like those mission workers, ESDA is crossing cultures and connecting cultures. Learn more from this episode on “Recognizing The Astounding Contributions Of Our Adventist Missionaries,” hosted by the editors of ESDA, Dr. David Trim, and Dr. Dragoslava Santrac as they interview Dr. Stefan Höschele, editor of Inter-European Division and Dr. Chigemezi Wogu, research assistant of Inter-European Division.

More and more frequently, we are coming to see the deep impact of COVID-19 on the body and on society. There is much to be said about comorbidities and their impacts on the different stages of the virus in our bodies. How does nutrition make an impact on COVID-19?
Interestingly, we see the importance of supporting our diet in light of the three phases of COVID-19. Understanding these phases and what is going on in the body will be key to knowing how to nourish and nurture the body, and restore a good state of health—not just in regard to the virus, but also with other lifestyle diseases prominent in today’s society. Come join us for LEVEL UP Episode 8 with host Dr. Lela Lewis and guests Pastor Mark Finley, Dr. David De Rose, and Dr. Roger Seheult. We look forward to going deeper into a fuller understanding of how mindful, science-based, plant-based eating can support you and those you love in a time of confusion and uncertainty.

When #Jesus commanded the early believers to “Go into all the world and preach the #gospel”, it must have seemed like an impossible #mission. How can they do it? They are only a small group. They have very little money. Most of them do not have an education. They are only ordinary people. But they have a #God who is more than ordinary. He can give them the power to do the impossible! Jesus says, “ ‘But you will receive [get] power when the Holy #Spirit comes on you. Then you will tell people about me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria. And you will even tell other people about me from one end [part] of the earth to the other [part]’ ” (Acts 1:8, NIrV). The Holy Spirit will help them to share the message about the #Cross. Then Jesus’ followers will #preach with power. Their message will change lives. Paul tells us that the Good News was “told to everyone on earth” (Colossians 1:23, ERV). In this week’s lesson, we will look at the work that the Holy Spirit does to make us powerful witnesses for Jesus.
