Daniel and Revelation are crucial to any understanding of end-time Christianity. Their prophecies are held together by ONE SENTENCE. Let’s examine that sentence and gain a better grasp of its meaning for the end-time journey of God’s people.

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.

Let’s be honest – Christianity is one generation away from extinction. We worry about today’s culture, our youth and their walk with Jesus, the current state of church, and the future of the Adventist movement. But remember, Jesus promised He’d build, mobilize, and lead a movement that even the “gates of hell” would not be able to stop. The truth is, this generation longs to love and engage with both God and church. Jesus and the local church truly are the answers this generation is searching for. Join us, as we discuss practical, proven strategies to transform and revitalize your church and become future-focused.

What if your church isn’t stuck because of a lack of passion, but because of a lack of focus? We’ll unpack the single biggest reason most churches fail to grow (Hint: it’s not your worship style or sermon length). You’ll discover how to clarify your church’s unique mission field, redefine your “why,” and craft a missional identity so compelling that it reignites vision in your church. Come ready to think like a missionary and leave with clarity about who your church is truly called to reach.

The gospel fundamental alters our perception of God's character and releases us from the fear of punishment and the hope of reward as weak motivations that produced no good outcomes. The only power powerful enough to move us deep on the inside, is God‘s love.
