Pioneer PulpitMay 24 – 9:00 AM – RMES Dedication – Ben Martin ————— Prayer Promise"But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin." God Provides John Glass To me, one of the most surprising things in the news recently was that an American had been chosen to be the next Pope. I thought about it, and it struck me that in the light of prophecy, it may be that a logical thing. Revelation 13 describes two world powers: one from the sea and the other from dry land. Seventh-day Adventists have long understood these powers as being the Roman Church (the sea beast) and the United States (the land beast). . .

Offering for May 24, 2025 Michigan Advance Partners The COVID-19 pandemic caused thousands of deaths around the world and made people rethink their purpose in life. We’ve all been affected by this.
