Saturday 12:00 PM
Welcome to Beltsville Seventh-day Adventist Church. We are so glad you’ve joined us for worship today.
This Sabbath we begin a four-part message series from the book of Revelation. In a world where uncertainty looms large and fear can easily take hold, the Book of Revelation stands as a beacon of hope and a testament to God's ultimate control over all things. It's a book that challenges us to look beyond the chaos and challenges of the present world and fix our eyes on the promises of God's final triumph and the establishment of His Kingdom.

HEALTH MINISTRIES
Be Informed About Your Health
“So closely is health related to our happiness that we cannot have the latter without the former. It is therefore of the highest importance that among the studies selected for childhood, physiology should occupy the first place. How few know anything about the structure and functions of their own bodies and of nature’s laws.
Men and women should inform themselves regarding the philosophy
of health. The minds of rational beings seem shrouded in darkness regarding their own physical structure, and how to preserve it in a healthy condition.
Every violation of the principle of eating and drinking blunts the perceptive faculties, making it impossible for them to appreciate or place the right value upon eternal things.
Everywhere people are perishing for the lack of knowledge of the truths that have been committed to us. The members of the church need an awakening so that they may realize their responsibility to impart these truths.”
