Welcome to the University Parkway SDA Church in Pensacola, Florida. We are a Christian community and would love to have you visit with us at the weekly Sabbath Services.

(With sad hearts we share the news that Eustaquio Solis has passed to rest. He now awaits that great moment when Jesus will call him from his resting place and reunite him with his family. 

Eustaquio is survived by his wife Patsy, daughter Sylvia, son Dan, and grandchildren. 

 Let’s join in prayer for the family as they grieve this loss. 

A Memorial Service will be announced later.)

From The Pastor

 

Life has been crazy and uncertain. As we move forward during these unusual times God is calling on His people to have faith in Him. The Bible makes it clear that God’s people are to walk by faith: Romans 1:17 says “…the just shall live by faith.” The word faith in the original has the meaning ‘to put your trust in.’

 

God is saying to trust Him.

 

We are accustomed to walking by feeling and by what we see, but that can lead us in the wrong direction.

 

In Luke 18 Jesus gives us a parable about a persistent widow. He starts the parable with the words, “that men always ought to pray and not lose heart.” Jesus knows that we can be tempted to stop praying and to give up, but Jesus is encouraging us to never stop praying and to never give up.

 

In the parable, the woman is persistent. Jesus wants us to be persistent, He wants us to learn to depend on Him. He is listening and cares. If God did not care, He wouldn’t have willingly come to this earth to suffer and die for our sins, so that salvation could be a reality.

 

God cares; the cross is proof of that.

 

My favorite author wrote, “He has poured out all heaven in one gift, and there is no reason why we should doubt His love. Look to Calvary.” Our Father Cares, p. 43 (Ellen White)

 

God’s love is seen on Calvary’s cross!

 

So, the first reason we can trust in God is that He loves us more than His own life.

 

Jesus said in John 15:13, “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” If Jesus is willing to lay down His life for us, He has our best interest in mind.

 

We each put our trust in something. Proverbs 20:7 says, “Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.” In other words, some put their trust in money, their homes, the stock market, their relationships, and so forth.

 

But my prayer is that we put our trust in God who wants to see us in Eternity!

 

God bless you and may you put your faith in God, who loves you more than His own life!

(Next month I will unpack this some more.)
