In Exodus 17, Moses strikes a rock and God brings water to the Israelites. In Numbers 20, Moses strikes a rock and God bans him from entering the promised land. What happened between these two strikes? And what might it tell us about our responsibility as believers in our world today?

I have NEVER heard a Biblical sermon on Armageddon. Not one in the 65 years of my Adventist journey. Plenty of sermons on Armageddon—yes. But Biblical—no. Come meet the major players in earth’s longest battle and get a taste of the victory of the Lamb.

Join Dr. Bennett and Dr. Pierce as they draw on their experience as Adventist scholars and pastors to address the unique issues related to The Great Controversy and the current American political landscape. As independent charismatic figures bring the language of spiritual warfare to center stage, and some Evangelicals seem drawn to a nationalist expression of faith, how are Adventists to respond? How do we balance being good earthly citizens and heavenly citizens? Can we be patriotic while holding to our prophetic perspective? Do current ideas about spiritual warfare in the political arena fit within a responsible biblical framework? These are some of the questions that will be addressed to help us understand how we got to our current moment and how we can respond as faithful followers of Jesus hanging on to our Advent message.

The church is defined in Scripture as a righteousness by faith community. We are called upon to treat one another as Christ has treated each of us, which means treating one another better than we deserve.
