What Are You a Seventh-day Adventist?

The pastor's winter pulpit series January to February 2016

 

"Why are you a Seventh-day Adventist?"  [  Take Survey  ] This is the title of Barrington Brennen's first pulpit series for 2016 here at Grant's Town Seventh-day Adventist Church.   The series begins on January 2, 2016, with the title, "New Beginnings."  The six-part series will fan the flame of enthusiasm for Adventism.  It will also cause you to think deeply about why you believe what you believe.   It will remind us all of the foundation of our faith and where we are heading.   It will also help us to become "contagious Adventists."   This series is important because our reasons for being an Adventist will be tested very soon according to our Biblical understanding. 

 

Can your reasons withstand intense scrutiny, ridicule, mockery, laughter, scorn, persecution?   How firm do you stand on what your believe?  When you think you are anchored deep in the ground of your beliefs you might actually be only on a shallow surface with only the dust of good looks, traditions, and misconceptions, covering your feet.  Don't miss this series.

 

I would like to hear from you.  Would you kindly send the reason(s) why you are an Adventist today.  I will not reveal your name without permission.  Sending it does not automatically mean that your will be indentified.  Send your reason(s) to barringtonbrennen@gmail.com

 

I am also creating a shot video interview on the subject.   If you are interested of being asked on camera "Why you are an Adventist?" feel free to respond when I come around to you.  You answer is to be short.  Just one or two sentences.  The video will be used on Sabbath, January 9 , 2016.
