Loma Linda University Church is a Seventh-day Adventist Church in Loma Linda, CA. We release weekly podcasts of our Saturday Service.
Real Good Life is a journey through the story of Joseph—a young man with dreams, thrown into loss, betrayal, and long seasons of waiting. It’s for anyone who wonders if their life still matters when things fall apart, when the path twists, when the pain runs deep.
But beneath the heartbreak, something sacred is happening. God is not wasting the mess. He’s reshaping us—turning raw potential into steady purpose, turning old wounds into open doors.
This isn’t about chasing success or fixing the past. It’s about finding meaning right where you are, and letting God write beauty into the broken places. Because a good life isn’t always neat—but it can still be real, and it can still be full.

We say God loves us. We write about it, sing about it, post online about it, but we struggle to truly believe it. Maybe we’ve experienced the gospel at some point, but we’ve moved on thinking it was for those who have never heard it before. But we’ve still got our secret sins, relationships that are broken…after all…how can we expect to love others if we don’t really believe that God loves us UNCONDITIONALLY? The gospel is the most beautiful thing we’ve ever heard, and yet it just seems so UNBELIEVABLE.

We put our spiritual gifts to use through wholehearted service for the good of others in the body of Christ.
Spiritual gifts equip members of the body of Christ for the works of service by which the body of Christ is built up, reaches unity in the faith, and grows to maturity.
Spiritual gifts are special abilities given to members of the body of Christ to serve the body for the common good.
Saints are not a small, spiritually-elite group of people; saints are all the members of the body of Christ.
In the New Testament church, the entire body of believers is the priesthood, where each has equal access to God.
The New Testament erases the distinction between clergy and laity. The term laity describes ALL God's people - both leaders and members.
Every member of the body of Christ-not just the paid professional - is called to active ministry to others.
No building or structure-no matter how perfect-can ever replace the power of the Holy Spirit.
Two thousand years ago God breathed a new vision to a group of distraught disciples. The church was birthed out of fire, wind, and the Spirit. A body of believers that empowered the community, engaged in communication and embodied Christ crucified. Today Jesus calls us to de the same, do we dare answer
Success is not some goal to be achieved, but it is the inevitable joy in a journey of serving others.
Loss is an inevitable painful reality of our sin broken lives. So, how does God heal us from loss? In this message we explore one final miracle in Luke to discover how God makes us whole.

Jesus redraws the borders that divide us and through that act condemnation and death are replaced by acquittal and life.
What is the acid test of a person’s character? Is it hard times? Challenges? Foes? Trouble? Or is it something else entirely?
Many of us struggle with loneliness and isolation, but we have a good God that wants to give us community.
Many of us struggle with loneliness and isolation, but we have a good God that wants to give us community.
What does it mean that the Holy Spirit is “The Prosecutor?” Who is the Holy Spirit prosecuting? And what does that mean for me as an individual believer? Can such a metaphor actually bring me hope?
Where do you turn for help in living the spiritual life? Where do you turn when you feel spiritually alone? What might the Holy Spirit have to offer in such experiences?
When it comes to the greatest news of all time, to whom does God entrust it? Is there any hope that God can or will use ordinary people--people like you and me--to further his cause?
What happened at Calvary? Was it a victory or a defeat? A triumph or a tragedy? An example of goodness or of evil? What do you see when you look at the cross of Jesus? What does it tell you about God? And about us?
Is coincidence always coincidence? Is carrying a cross always a bad thing? Do our darkest moments define our identity?
Two “revolutionaries.” Jesus Barabbas. Jesus Christ. What is the difference between them? What does it mean to join their “kingdoms?” How do we go about changing our world in our day?
What happens when Jesus and the system of religion collide? What might an ancient high priest teach about spirituality today?
How integrated should the disciple of Jesus be with the surrounding culture? Should that disciple expect the culture’s appreciation and affection? What if the culture doesn’t like--or even hates--the disciple? Did Jesus have anything to say about such things?
Jesus commands us to love one another. How can love be commanded? How can we obey that command? Where do we get the power to extend that love to others?
Jesus opened his heart to his disciples the night before his crucifixion. They were about to collide with the forces of darkness. What did he tell them? And what can we learn from what he said? When the world’s about to collapse, what do we do?
"How do you know if you’re rich? How do you if Jesus is poor? What does it mean that he became poor so that we could become rich?"
What does it mean to say that Christ’s blood “cleanses” us, “saves” us? Is that terminology helpful, meaningful? And what does it have to do with Christmas?
What is the key message of Christmas? In a world concerned with upward mobility and success, what might the incarnation of Jesus suggest to us?
What one idea do you think contains the most power to change the world? What one proactive action could make the deepest difference in human relationships?
In a rapidly changing world, how should the church respond? Should the church remain as it has historically been? Or should the church seek to change? If so, how?
What does the church have to say about racism? How should Christians respond to bias and bigotry?
How do you relate to people who differ from you politically? How should Christ-followers relate to other Christ-followers who share different political convictions?
What does it mean to be part of the body of Christ? What are its privileges and responsibilities?
What is the most critical ingredient for the church to be able to fulfill its mission? How did the the early church succeed in spreading the gospel so rapidly?
To whom do you turn when you feel vulnerable? When you feel alone, ashamed, and uncovered, can God offer you aid? If you feel exposed, is there help?
Where do you look to see God’s providence in your life? What if you don’t think God’s providence has been present in your life? Is there a way to find it?
To whom do you turn when you feel vulnerable? When you feel alone, ashamed, and uncovered, can God offer you aid? If you feel exposed, is there help?
Does God care for us during times of chaos and tragedy? And, if so, HOW does God care for us in those times? What role do we play?
Where is God when I’m in grief? Does God care when my life seems empty? Does God reach out to me when all seems lost? Ruth will help you answer such questions.
What are we to do with the people in our lives who are “soul thirsty”? What do we have to offer? Is there an invitation we can offer that will satisfy their thirst?
How do we keep our worship life, our prayer life, our Bible study life robust and vital? What are we to DO with what we experience in worship, understand through prayer, and learn in study?
Loneliness just may be at an all-time high. Physical distancing has only made it worse. So where do you turn if you’re lonely? What might Scripture offer to the lonely person?
How can I experience Scripture’s deep work in my life? How can I experience prayer’s deep healing in my life? There is a way...
Is gathering for public Christian worship a thing of the past? Why do we need it? What do we do during a time of physical distancing? Scripture helps us thoughtfully consider answers to these questions.
We live in a world where there is so much division and so much disunity. Often times that same disunity can find its way into our very own church. How do we have conversations that can begin to bring us from a place of division and disunity to a place of unity and oneness in Christ.
Sometimes, sharing the gospel with someone can be a scary proposition.. Everyone tells you not to talk about religion or politics. But we know these conversations are important. We want to share the gospel because we believe that, not only is it true, but it is beneficial, eternally so. So what do we do? Well we can start with the most basic life advice that there is, we call it the Golden Rule. In this case we might say “be the type person who you would want to be converted by”.
Why are conversations about race so difficult? How can we navigate these conversations in a way that brings healing and not harm?
Young people can find life’s greatest purpose in partner with Christ to fulfilling their calling in God’s mission. It should not be misunderstood as simply preaching, but rather utilizing one’s natural gifts under the Holy Spirit’s empowering, making these gifts spiritual that will bless the world.
Have you ever been in an argument where you just wished the other person would stop talking and start listening? It’s frustrating to speak and not be heard. So, how can we communicate in a way that encourages listening?
God desires us to be people who communicate well, who use our communication effectively.
When the God above us seems to no longer protect us from the elements that threaten us, we throw ourselves on his unfailing love.
When the structures that give form and protection to our lives collapse, God’s promise is to save those who trust in him.
"Oxford dictionary defines resilience as the power or capacity to return to the original form. The reality is that these past few weeks have strained and bent us in unimaginable ways, and we yearn to return to our original form; however, as we wait for that wondrous day might we use this time of isolation to develop a richer picture of who God is, and why we follow? I pray we do."
"How are you spending your time during this time of social isolation? The Gospels show us Jesus is less concerned about how much time will pass than how that time is spent. From the very early stages of his life Jesus was about doing His Father’s business and the Gospels give so many examples of how you can do the Father’s business."
We live in communion with Jesus when we act on what we’ve heard from his Word and shared from our heart.
We live in communion with Jesus when we listen to his Word.
