University Parkway Sda Church Sermon Audio

The Bible was written as a witness to God’s work in history. The Lord chose to do this in human language, making His thoughts and ideas visible through human words. We are to receive God’s word as supreme authority.

Jochebed serves an example of the importance of the early years of a child’s life. A celebration of mothers in particular, as the primary influence for children and families developing an understanding of and loyalty to God’s Principles.

To read the Bible also means to interpret the Bible. How do we do that? What principles do we use? How do we deal with the various types of writing found in the Bible? Parable? Prophetic-symbolic Dream? Historical Narrative? Any text without a context quickly becomes a pretext for one’s own agenda and ideas. There is a great need for us not just to read the Bible, but to interpret it correctly.

In response to our faith, God will do one of two things: He will miraculously Rescue, or He will give the Strength to Endure the trouble. This message looks at Biblical accounts of each of these God Responses. We also take a closer look at Jesus as our example in His life and death. We must educate ourselves to have faith.

Scripture alone is the final authority when matters of faith and doctrine are at issue. In this study we will learn that sola scriptura implies some fundamental principles of biblical interpretation that are indispensable for a proper understanding of God’s Word.

Here is presented five different influential sources that impact our interpretation of Scripture. These sources play a significant role in every theology and in every church.

What is true Biblical faith? Does having faith mean uncertainties always go away or never come? What are some reasons that we should maintain our Faith in God even when He doesn’t seem to answer our requests? What are some God Perspectives on faith?

Unfortunately in this postmodern age, the Bible has been largely reinterpreted through the lens of a philosophy that questions both its inspiration and its authority. However, we can see in the New Testament the inspired way to view the entire Scripture.

A careful look at the Bible promises that Jesus is God With Us, the Holy Spirit is God With Us and that for all of Eternity we will be with God worshiping in His Holy Mountain.

How we interpret the Bible is significantly shaped and influenced by our understanding of the process of revelation and inspiration.

Jesus revealed some great truths about Death. His actions with the dead teach us how to view death and the promise of Eternal Life that He gives to all who accept Him. Learn about this important truth as Pastor Robert Meneses teaches from the Bible.

Composed of 60 books, and written over 1,500 years on three continents, by more than forty authors, the Bible is unique.There is no other book, sacred or religious, like it.

From the perspective of the End of the Year and the End of a Decade, Pastor Dan gives specific Biblical advice that we are to be Looking Diligently for the fulfillment of the promised Return of Jesus. In addition he tells us the Four Directions that Christians are to be looking to be sure that we see as we should.

A careful look at the fulfillment of the prophecies regarding the Birth Of Jesus, The Messiah. His coming is a guarantee that He will come the Second time, just as He promised. He assures us that God is still in control of the affairs of this world. God acts according to The Fullness Of The Time.

A personal view of struggling with depression. Feelings, attitudes, perceptions. Followed by the Biblical view of Happiness – where it comes from and how to get it for yourself.

Thankfulness and Praise work together to promote a life of happiness and contentment. Paul’s witness concerning his life of trials and hardships is presented as a way for us to be Thankful For… in our lives in spite of problems. Glory be to God. Amen

This message begins by pointing out the 4 misconceptions of What Charity Is. Charity Is a principle, and is demonstrated in practical ways. Charity builds better people.

The Scriptures describe God’s people as Kind. The goal is to have Brotherly Kindness, when dealing with church members, as well as when we are sharing the Good News of Jesus. Pastor Dan takes us on a short journey to look at the Bible records of the Apostles dealing with problems in the early Christian church.

We are encouraged in the Bible to become like God. What does that mean? How do we accomplish it? Godliness – God-Likeness – is the measure to be reached. Pastor Dan teaches from the Word of God on this important topic.

This week we look at the role of Patience in the lives of People of Excellence. By adding Patience to our Spiritual and Routine Lives we allow God to use us as His Ambassadors in this world and fit us for a place in His Kingdom - and Life Eternal. Patience qualifies us to minister for God.
