Sunnyside Adventist Church Communiqué News &
Announcements
Sabbath, September 28, 2019
Sunnyside Adventist Church • 10501 SE Market Street • Portland,
Oregon 97216 • 503-252-8080 • www.SunnysideAdventist.org
Dear Church Family, In the Bible and in life, the crowd is
almost always wrong. The crowd demanded a tower to save themselves
after the flood. The crowd demanded a golden calf. The crowd
demanded a king so that Israel could be just like all the other
empires. The crowd cheered and jeered Jesus and yelled, "Crucify
Him! Crucify Him!"
Often, the crowd needs a scapegoat to ease their conscience and
make their existence righteous in their own eyes. Whether it's a
praying prophet in Babylon, a woman caught in adultery or an angry
mob dragging Steven to the outskirts of the city, the crowd can
only be appeased by the sacrifice of a scapegoat. This week we are
going to see a crowd, an attempted scapegoating and Jesus standing
with His faithful few in the fires of hell. The call for us, His
children, is to stand up for the right even though we have been
made the scapegoat; to stand in the face of threats and taunts.
This, of course, is the call of Jesus, for us to take up our cross
and follow Him. Revelation 14:12 This calls for patient endurance
on the part of the people of God who keep his commands and remain
faithful to Jesus. Pastor Mark Witas
Send your “shout-outs” to [email protected] so we can
include them in next week’s Communiqué. This is a place you can
recognize someone for doing well or going beyond expectations.
Shout out to Raymond Baker, and Kathy and Gary Kramer for all
the help they give before, during and after our potlucks! Thank you
to each of you. You are greatly appreciated!
