#JoyOfGiving

“And that's what Paul is talking about with this statement. When you give of your time, when you give of your resources, when you give of your ears to listen to somebody else, when you give forgiveness like the children's story, when you give a bible, lesson, when you give, fill in the blank, there's something that comes back in return and fills you instead. And that, my friends, Paul says, as what Jesus taught. Contrary to what the culture tells us today.”

#ChristmasGiving

“So, my friends, as Christians and believers, a seven day Adventist, our task is to be in this world, observe this world, ask questions about why things are going on this way, and then make a decision based on scripture whether I should agree with it or not. But then I have to do something about it. So what about creating a cultural upheaval instead of instead of having people expect to receive all the time, instead of you, yourself, and your family expecting to receive, what about having a different Christmas? We're gonna give this Christmas.”

Can someone attend while exploring Christianity or questioning their beliefs?
Yes. You’re welcome to attend while you’re exploring or have questions. Pastor Nelson Silva describes Paul meeting people in Athens who were searching among different beliefs, finding common ground with them, and using their questions as a bridge to talk about Jesus. ( [06:12 from November 07, 2026] ) He also discusses their altar “to an unknown” god and how Paul engaged with that uncertainty. ( [07:18 from November 07, 2026] )

Teaching

Which recent sermons would help someone understand the teaching?
If you mean the teaching that giving our time, resources, attention, and forgiveness blesses others and us, Pastor Nelson Silva says it is “more blessed to give than to receive.” ([30:19 from November 07, 2026])

For recent sermons that may help explore that idea, try **“Who Is My Neighbor?”** (June 13, 2026), **“Use It or Lose It”** (June 6, 2026), and **“The Workers in the Field”** (May 16, 2026). Their titles suggest connections to caring for others, using what we have, and serving.

How does the church talk about sin, confession and forgiveness?
The material provided points to sin as something to be faced through repentance, and to forgiveness as an expression of grace—but it does not spell out a specific practice or theology of confession. The church’s sermon catalog includes titles such as “God Deals with Sin,” “Repent and Be Converted,” and “Grace That Is Greater Than Our Sin”; those titles indicate the topics, but not the sermons’ full arguments. (https://hvilletnsda.org/sermonaudio/goddealswithsin/20251023T17:02:3705:00; https://hvilletnsda.org/sermonaudio/repentandbeconverted/20251023T17:02:2705:00; https://hvilletnsda.org/sermonaudio/gracethatisgreaterthanoursin/20251023T17:02:3705:00)

In the sermon excerpt provided, forgiveness is also presented as something Christians can give to others, alongside their time and attention. The excerpt does not explain confession or describe how a person receives forgiveness from God. ([30:19 from November 07, 2026])

How does the teaching approach community and honesty with others?
Pastor Nelson Silva presents community as practical care: giving time and resources, listening, forgiving, and offering presence—especially to people who may be lonely, such as children and older adults. ([30:19 from November 07, 2026]) ([33:05 from November 07, 2026])

On honesty, his story about giving a classmate used shoes models candid self-reflection: he recognizes that, despite good intentions, giving them publicly embarrassed his friend and says he should have thought it through. The lesson is to consider how our actions affect others and to care for their dignity, not just focus on our intentions. ([25:52 from November 07, 2026])

How does the church approach doubt and suffering?
The church’s sermon titles point toward bringing doubt honestly to God rather than hiding it: “Take Your Doubts to the Lord” and “When Faith Is Tested” are explicit themes in its sermon catalog. (https://hvilletnsda.org/sermonaudio/takeyourdoubtstothelord/20251023T17:02:3805:00; https://hvilletnsda.org/sermonaudio/whenfaithistested/20251023T17:02:4105:00)

On suffering, Pastor Nelson Silva’s story acknowledges anger and confusion instead of brushing them aside. Recalling childhood poverty and shoes that hurt, he describes wondering, “How is it possible that God gave me something to then take it away?” ([22:10 from November 07, 2026]) The story later turns toward compassion: he learned that a classmate needed the shoes and gathered clothes for him too. ([23:06 from November 07, 2026]) That example suggests a response to hardship that makes room for painful questions and can lead to care for others, without claiming every difficulty has an easy explanation.

How does the church approach faith and work?
The church treats work as part of a life of faith: it says our jobs, talents, time, money, and everyday choices matter to God. (https://hvilletnsda.org/about/)

In a sermon, Pastor Nelson Silva acknowledges that work is part of ordinary life, while urging Christians to let Scripture guide how they engage with the surrounding culture. ([10:34 from November 07, 2026]) He also connects faith to practical generosity—giving time, listening, and helping others—which can shape how we treat people at work as well as elsewhere. ([30:19 from November 07, 2026])

Is an answer based on an official statement or an interpretation of sermons?
It would be an **interpretation of a sermon, not an official church statement**. The website lists sermons, but the material provided does not include a formal statement on this point. Pastor Nelson Silva presents his application as a sermon message, using Scripture to discuss how Christians should respond to culture. ([09:04 from November 07, 2026]) (https://hvilletnsda.org/sermonaudio/totheunknowngod/20261107T15:14:5806:00)
