Feast of Trumpets 2014—Christ’s Return
Norbert Link | September 25, 2014
The Feast of Trumpets symbolizes the return of Jesus Christ and the resurrection of the righteous to eternal life. The book of Revelation contains seven messages to seven congregations of the Church of God. What relationship exists between the last four of those seven messages and Christ’s return? What does the Bible say about the time of Christ’s return? Is that time already fixed? Why does Christ say that even He does not know the exact time? Is the time of His coming conditioned upon certain events which have to take place first? What does it mean that the time of Christ’s return is solely within the authority of the Father?
Proof!
Dave Harris | September 25, 2014
God has established Holy Days which lay out in great detail the plan of salvation which He is offering to mankind. There is tremendous, unquestionable PROOF of God’s role in human history, and the Holy Days give witness to this fact!
Valuable
Eric Rank | September 25, 2014
Once we acknowledge our meek human existance, we may wonder how valuable we are to God. However, according to His plan, He needs leaders to help Him rule His soon coming Kingdom. Those who are called to that duty are very valuable, indeed.
Strength Through Trials
Robb Harris | September 20, 2014
We all face trials and must stay resolute in relying of God to guide us through them. Paul faced many trials, including very difficult physical ones and he stayed the course in his focus towards God. We must do the same, especially in the festival season.
Be Ready for the Gospel of Peace
Norbert Link | September 13, 2014
Ephesians 6:15 tells us that we must have our feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace. What exactly does this mean? What about our feet; our preparation or readiness; and the gospel of peace? What is that gospel? Paul warns us not to accept a different gospel, another Jesus, or a different spirit. He also shows us that the belief in the true gospel is absolutely necessary for salvation; and that we ourselves must have peace if we want to stand up for the gospel of peace.
Reasons for Weakness
Michael Link | September 13, 2014

Out of Weakness
Dave Harris | September 6, 2014
When we hear about the grizzly beheading of people; when planes are shot out of the sky; when riots erupt in our cities; when unspeakably degrading activities are paraded across our television screens…WHAT should we think or do? More to the point—what are we thinking and what are we doing?
How Low Can You Go?
Eric Rank | September 6, 2014
Depression is a crippling reality that many people face. It is something that can be overcome, but only truly by turning to God and asking in prayer for His help and support.
The Match
Dave Harris | August 30, 2014
Light is oftentimes used in relationship to Christians, and some of the descriptive terms which are applied to the match can be helpful to review our challenge to be lights of the world.
The Difference a Choice Makes
Robb Harris | August 30, 2014
The mindset we take as Christians in how we face trials can determine where we ultimately complete the race Paul spoke of. Do we feel we are missing out on life’s temporary pleasures as Christians? Or do we have an attitude of praising God for the opportunity He has given to us—an opportunity that will grant us eternal life in the family of God!
Man’s Deceitful Heart
Norbert Link | August 23, 2014
God commands us to love Him with all our heart. How can we do this? The Bible does not teach that the natural man has a good and willing heart. At the same time, we do not read that God has created him with an evil and deceitful heart. How then did it become that way? And how is it possible to get ourselves a new heart?
No Way! There Will Be No Seven-Year Treaty!
Norbert Link | August 16, 2014
Some teach that a seven year treaty will be adopted between a modern king of the North or the beast and a modern king of the South, consisting of Arab nations, just prior to the return of Christ, and that that treaty will be broken after 3 ½ years. Others teach that that treaty is going to be made between the king of the North and the Jews. They base this teaching on Daniel 9:27. However, this passage does NOT teach such a treaty, but something different altogether. It is VERY important that you understand the truth, because a wrong teaching might find you completely unprepared for the return of Jesus Christ.
Like a Thief
Robb Harris | August 9, 2014
We are warned to be prepaired for Christs return. When God’s wrath is unleashed upon this world our preparedness is what will insure we don’t suffer.
Blessings
Norbert Link | August 2, 2014
What does the Bible tell us about blessings which we can receive from God, and which we should bestow on others? Is this only done in a very general way, or does the Bible also teach us about very specific and special individual blessings? How did God and His servants in the Old Testament bless individuals and entire nations? How can God’s blessings be bestowed on others today?
Polarized
Dave Harris | August 2, 2014
Many people who claim Christianity have gravitated to party politics–that is, they take sides based on their own slant on who is right and who is wrong. However, it is far too easy to become polarized as we view what is taking place, and we must not allow ourselves to be drawn into the mire of this society and away from God’s Kingdom.
How Strong is Your Faith?
Norbert Link | July 26, 2014
It has been said that faith can move mountains. But is this really true? What is faith? And what kind of faith do we need to please God? Can you work out this faith on your own? What kind of faith did Jesus have? Is it possible for us to have that same kind of faith? If so, how? This sermon will show us from many examples how strong Christ’s faith was, and how strong our faith needs to become.
Emotion
Kalon Mitchell | July 19, 2014
All humans have emotions. And since God created humans, and we are created in His image, then that must imply that God also has emotions. We must understand though the difference between good emotions and wrong emotions.
