Hollywood Adventist Church

We continue our series "Faith for Life" by examining more deeply the question of "why church?" through the many intangible benefits of belonging to and participating in the church, the body of Christ. Building on the spiritual disciplines that we practice in the course of life in the church, this Sabbath's lesson answers the question through the lenses of faith and doubt, regard and indifference, hope and despair, purpose and the spirit of indirection.

We continue in our series FAITH FOR LIFE as we ask, "Why church?"

Join us as we explore the question of why we might commit ourselves to the strange act of gathering with others for what we know as "Church!"

We're exploring love and vulnerability - how being beloved and learning to love others as beloved requires community. We need others in the journey - and ultimately, they need us too! We can build up each other in the body of Christ. It's part of the journey to trust - that which God most desires from us, as beloved children! May we be blessed as we explore this together.

Our summer series on "faith for life" centers on the meaning of "church" - of life lived together in community.

We invite you to join us or watch online as we go deeper into understanding why Jesus uses the metaphors of a "pearl of great price" or a "treasure hidden in a field" to describe both the Kingdom's appeal and value.

The Apocalypse begins tomorrow!

At Hollywood Adventist in July we celebrate a season of apocalypse: a revealing of Jesus through media and pop culture. This series is crafted in the radical example of Paul while in Athens (Acts 17) that allowed him to reach the minds of the people who lived in that fascinating city. Kelsy will kick off the series today with “Playing with Light” where we will hear from a stained glass artist and explore the role of stained glass in religion and pop culture throughout the millennia.

This Sabbath, Pastor Branden will deliver a powerful message based on chapters 10 and 11 of the Book of Daniel, titled "Battles." The sermon will explore Daniel's encounters with spiritual warfare and how they are relevant to our pursuit of justice. He will share the spiritual dimensions of injustice, the vital role of faith communities in combating oppressive systems, and strategies for addressing social and political tensions while advocating for the rights of vulnerable groups.

These are all crucial topics for us to comprehend and internalize as a faith community so that we can authentically and unitedly stand for love, truth, and justice.

We're excited for the remainder of this series, which will focus on the times of exile we experience through the book of Daniel. Our presence in the systems we are in is significant, and the actions we take as peacemakers and justice-seekers are essential but also complicated. The life and insights in the book of Daniel in the Bible have given us clear ways forward in tough situations. We have finished the stories in the book and will now be engaging with the depictions of power and coercion through the visions of Daniel.
