There will be no unrepentant sinners in the Heavenly Zion; there is no quick recipe for a successful mission field.&nbsp; There will be no saved sinners desiring to go back to sin on the banks of the River of Life, but there will be many, many saved by the grace of Jesus Christ. This saving grace is not cheap; it's paid in full by the blood of our Lord. And those that value it will give up everything to have it.&nbsp;</p> Thu, 09 Jul 2026 10:58:21 +0000 St. Joseph SDA Church Service, July 11 http://www.andrews.edu/agenda/69425 <p> The St. Joseph Seventh-day Adventist Church invites you to join them at 9:30 a.m. for Sabbath School and worship at 10:45 a.m. This week, Michael Lamond leads out in the worship service.
