Dr. Mark Finley recently led a five-night series titled "Astonishing Discoveries and Prophecies" at the St. Louis Central Seventh-day Adventist Church, in St. Louis, Missouri, where Mark Tagaloa, Adventist pastor from the Iowa-Missouri Conference, serves as the lead pastor. The meetings were held on June 12, 14, 15, 17, and 18, and focused on how history and archaeology support the Bible.
“There was a welcoming spirit in the room as people visited with one another before and after the meeting,” said Craig Carr, Ministerial and Evangelism director for the Mid-America Union Conference.
Each night began with a friendly greeting from Finley, who introduced the evening’s topic. His wife, Ernestine “Teeny” Finley, also gave short talks about living a healthy and happy life using natural foods and remedies.
The presentations explored ancient Egypt, the Valley of the Kings, and discoveries like the Dead Sea Scrolls. Finley showed how these findings support the truth of Scripture.
He also shared stories from his travels to places like Philippi, Thessalonica, Athens, and Corinth, following the path of the Apostle Paul and highlighting how Paul’s message still matters today.
Each night ended with an invitation to trust in God, who has always been part of human history. The series pointed to the books of Daniel and Revelation as keys to understanding Earth’s final events.
This series helped prepare the way for Seventh-day Adventist Church President Ted Wilson’s Revelation of Hope meetings, which take place nightly from June 20 to 28.
