Church Update June 20, 2025

Dear Crescent City SDA Church Family and Guests,

 

Consider the incredible things that God has made for us to enjoy.  Take, for example, something as simple as water.  Chemically, it is composed of two elements:  hydrogen and oxygen (H2O). This means that each molecule of water contains two hydrogen atoms bonded to a single oxygen atom. Both hydrogen and oxygen are gasses, yet, when combined, they form a liquid! 

 

Water is transparent, tasteless, odorless, and nearly colorless. It is the main constituent of Earth's hydrosphere and the fluids of all known living organisms. Below 32 degrees Fahrenheit (freezing), water is a solid. Water boils into steam at 212 degrees Fahrenheit (boiling), and between the freezing point and boiling point, water is a liquid. When water freezes into ice, we tend to think that it would be heavier and sink, but instead, ice floats.  We know many of the forms of water as rain, snow, hail, sleet, drizzle, ice, steam, droplets, moisture, condensation, vapor, mist, haze, clouds, etc. We find water in oceans, rivers, springs, the air we breath, the sky above, and under the ground we walk on.  We daily use water as a universal solvent for cleaning inside and out.

 

God has provided us with many simple and beautiful things in nature that demonstrate His love and goodness. Water is just one example that demonstrate the intricate details and complexity woven into the fabric of God's creation. This complexity is a testament to a divine designer and creator, reflecting God's wisdom, power, and glory. The natural world, in its beauty and order, can serve as a powerful reminder of God's presence and inspire a sense of awe and reverence for His handiwork.

Take time to consider the vastness of God’s creation and the extent of His power, such as gazing at the stars. Consider the rhythm of the ocean waves. These contemplations help us appreciate the beauty and complexity of everything God has made. God’s Spirit can open our minds to the connection between Him and His creation, including us! (see Psalms 19:1-6).

 

May you enjoy the wonderful complexities of God’s creations,
