COMING ATTRACTIONS
PURSUE GOD
Last week’s worship led by Vice President Gabriel Molina, I Am Second 2021: Building Fundamentals.
I AM SECOND 2021: BUILDING FUNDAMENTALS
“I am with you, always.” It’s such a a beautiful phrase and it is so relevant when it comes to building fundamentals because it describes a God who just wants to spend time with us and just be with us, just like a Best Friend would. Always.
“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” —Matthew 28:19-20 [NKJV]
Our speaker this weekend is Gabe Molina:
"I’m Gabriel Molina and I am currently a senior at Burton Adventist Academy. I am the Student Association Religious Vice President for the high school. Some fun facts: My favorite sports are soccer and baseball, and I have been playing the violin for the past 15 years of my life. Looking forward to preaching for YG, my topic, Building Fundamentals."

I AM SECOND 2021
Discover a new and different way of living. This is for people yearning to be known. It is for those who are weary from all their many efforts to feel significant.
How blessed is God! And what a blessing he is! He’s the Father of our Master, Jesus Christ, and takes us to the high places of blessing in him. Long before he laid down earth’s foundations, he had us in mind, had settled on us as the focus of his love, to be made whole and holy by his love. Long, long ago he decided to adopt us into his family through Jesus Christ. (What pleasure he took in planning this!) He wanted us to enter into the celebration of his lavish gift-giving by the hand of his beloved Son. –Ephesians 1:3-6 [Message]
