Ted N. C. Wilson delivers his first sermon as president of the Adventist Church. In addressing attendees of final day of General Conference Session, he emphasized the Adventist Church as the remnant church and called for a recommitment to the writing's of church co-founder Ellen White.
Addressing a crowd of 69,989 Seventh-day Adventists and friends, Ted N. C. Wilson, in his first Sabbath sermon as General Conference president, urged members to "go forward" in confidence through the days ahead.
Wilson's message -- delivered as he was surrounded by the Church's 13 division presidents, nine general vice presidents, and his two immediate predecessors -- came in a morning service where worshippers heard the fourth movement of Felix Mendelssohn's Symphony No. 5, the "Reformation Symphony," and where the world church leader read words of welcome from United States President Barack Obama.
