Sermons

Many wonder how to apply God’s laws today. What about the Ten Commandments, the annual Holy Days, sacrifices and washings, laws of national warfare, marriage to the sister-in-law after the brother’s death, certain penalties for wrongdoing, wearing tassels, touching dead bodies, circumcision, cross-dressing, wearing garments of different sorts, or sowing different kinds of seed? How can we know the answer?

Why are we following the current Hebrew Calendar in order to be able to observe the annual Holy Days in their proper times? Why doesn’t anyone else have the God-given authority to devise their own calendar? Why does the rejection of the Hebrew calendar constitute a lack of faith in the power of God Almighty?

Many are confused today when they hear about “laws” which are mentioned in the Old Testament. Which laws are still valid for Christians today, and which are no longer in force and effect? What principles are we to apply in order to find the answer to these questions?

The truth of God’s word does reveal the future for all of mankind – even in terms of eternity.  We can know and anticipate this future based on the promises God has given to those who obey Him!

Most professing Christians believe that a person who dies will immediately go to heaven or hell or purgatory. But the Bible teaches us about the resurrections from the dead. The Old Testament reveals that God will bring the dead back to life, but that this does not mean that all will be resurrected at the same time, or to the same condition. The New Testament confirms that there will be more than just one resurrection. This sermon explains why.

The suffering we endure in the lives we lead in the world can be overwhelming. By helping others we can receive the benefit of God’s guidance through our suffering. We must also remember that our suffering helps us to partake of that which Jesus Christ endured for our sake. In due time, however, God’s plan will be completed, and suffering of all kind will cease.

What comes to your mind when we mention the gospel of the Kingdom of God? How do you understand the gospel message? What is it about? Whom is it from? What IS the kingdom of God? What does the Church need to proclaim today? Is it just a message about Christ’s coming rule over the earth? Or is there much more? Do we live up to our individual and collective responsibilities, as revealed in the gospel? Since the gospel message includes the peace and unity of the God Family, why is there disharmony in the Church and among fellow brethren? God the Father and Jesus Christ are unified, even though there is authority in the Godhead. How are we using our authority given to us from God? Are we trying to reconcile with our fellow man, or are we content to live in disunity?

The Bible speaks about and defines nations – all from God’s perspective.  While the nation of Israel is of a particular note, the ultimate truth for mankind is that the promises of God’s salvation transcend physical boundaries to include all people.

An in depth personal story involving my music career as to how it all started, what’s happening now, what the future plans entail, and the significance of God’s guidance throughout this entire journey.

God is a creator. Satan is a destroyer. What is the purpose of God’s creation? How does Satan attempt to sabotage God’s plan? What can we do to participate in God’s creative plan?

God is the creator, and He had formed His great Master Plan that involves the salvation of mankind.  By keeping the Feast of Tabernacles, the Church of God is foreshadowing the establishment of God’s Kingdom on the earth – knowledge that is not relevant to the rest of mankind. 

The book of Isaiah tells us quite a bit about the conditions in the Millennium. In this sermon, we will discover what Isaiah was inspired to write pertaining to a future time about which most people have no understanding.

God commands us to keep the Feast of Tabernacles and the Last Great Day for an entire time span of eight days. But why? What is the purpose for this commandment?

How do mercy and truth work together?  One covers sin and the other doesn’t want anything to do with sin, so how do they both work together?

What is the only hope for mankind? What is the atonement for sin, which brings about forgiveness and reconciliation? Did animal sacrifices really provide the kind of atonement which God was looking for?  If not, what is it, and what does the Day of Atonement symbolize?

We must always be willing to receive correction from God, either as babes in Christ or mature Christians.  Our eternal reward relies on our own desire to follow and inculcate the correction we receive into our lives.
