What’s The Greatest Gift?

October 18-24, 2020 – Joseph Castillo What is the greatest talent or gift that God can give us?  The last two Sabbaths we have gone over the “Parable of the Talents” (Matt 25:14-30).  We have studied the differences between the fruits of the Spirit and the gifts of the Spirit.  As believers, when we give …

The Chase Is On

September 6-12 – Joseph Castillo I remember vividly when I was 16.  I was going to Dinuba Junior Academy but it only went up to 10th grade.  So my sophomore year I participated in “Academy Day” at Fresno Adventist Academy (FAA).  They had invited all those who were thinking about going to FAA the next …

Frustrated

August 23-29, 2020 – Joseph Castillo Frustration can come in so many different ways.  I’m frustrated with Covid-19.  I’m frustrated that I have to wear a face mask everywhere I go.  I got frustrated when my face mask broke a string in public and I could not wear it anymore.  It kept falling off.  People …

Tired?

Somehow, that brings comfort …

The Mind of Jesus – Prophecy Yet to Come

July 19-25, 2020 – Joseph Castillo Have you ever wondered about what God has in store for you in the future?  We’re going to talk about two different kinds of prophecies today.  One is conditional prophecy and the other is non-conditional prophecy.  Non-conditional prophecies are those that we think about in Daniel and Revelation.  They …

Why Do We Study Prophecy?

July 12-18, 2020 – Joseph Castillo In Isaiah 46:9-10 God gives us one of His reasons for prophecy.  In verse 9 He states that He is God “and there is no other”.  I love that statement.  I think about this verse frequently.  It’s almost like He is bragging but it isn’t bragging. He is just …
