"For God so loved the world...." The quintessential gospel words of John 3:16 are etched in memory. It's easy to glaze over the words and take them for granted when they're so etched--when was the last time we really let these words speak to us?

Sermon by Cliff Vickery, recorded on September 9, 2023, at Ringgold Seventh-day Adventist Church.
The cost of a slave is less than it's ever been in history. Slavery continues in the form of human trafficking--what is this beast and what can we do about it?

Guest speaker Tom Evans, CEO of Child Impact International, educates and challenges us on this issue today.

Ready or not, here it comes--it's back-to-school season! This high school counselor often finds himself helping his at-risk students think about their "why," their long-term goal or motivations. But for the Christian considering their more eternal "why," Elder Kevin Young draws on the calling of young prophet Jeremiah. Jeremiah's calling has lessons for lifelong learners of all ages today about meeting God's purpose for us. Sermon by Elder Kevin Young, recorded on July 29, 2023, at Ringgold Seventh-day Adventist Church.
