Sermons

Firstfruits are destined to have a unique role along with Jesus Christ in establishing the government of God during the Millennium. Have you been called to be a part of the Kingdom of God and share in His glory and the gift of eternal life?

Moving is never easy, but it can teach us valuable lessons. It shows us our dependence on material things, teaches us to let go, confronts us with our fears, and opens up new possibilities.

Even more important is the spiritual move that God calls each of us to make. 

Like Abraham, we must be willing to leave the old behind and follow God’s call, even if we do not know exactly how He will lead us to our destination.

There will be offerings in God’s coming Kingdom, at least for a while. These future sacrifices will not atone for sin but serve as reminders of Christ’s ultimate sacrifice, teaching humanity purity, gratitude, and reverence for God and His ways. We are called to mirror this same attitude as we participate in God’s great plan of restoration and peace.

Eight reasons why we’re tested are reviewed in this sermon.  If the suffering we presently endure brings great hardship, cruel and unusual punishments, severe persecution or even death itself, none of these evils can compare with the future that is awaiting true Christians.   We’ve got to be tested before we’re given great responsibility which we will have in God’s Kingdom. 

Yes, how can you? This message — the opening message for the Feast of Tabernacles 2025 – shows important principles and steps that you must follow in order to make your wish a reality. And seeking God and His righteousness has everything to do with it.

This message looks at miracles in the Bible, some present day miracles and an encouraging miracle prophesied at the end of this age of man.

What does it mean to live our lives as a living sacrifice? By learning to practice obedience, we prioritize God’s way of life over any of the physical rewards that the world can offer. The sacrifice of giving up those comforts to choose the path of righteousness instead is how we serve God.

In both the Old and New Testaments details are presented for observing the Day of Atonement. While there are physical aspects to fulfill, the spiritual applications are profoundly meaningful and important.

There is a lot of discussion these days about the desire for people to express their allegiances to various entities. From political parties, credit cards, teams, and even familial alliances, the question seems to be: where do you stand. When there is a tragedy, we see the flow of comments as to where people stand. The only beings that deserve unconditional loyalty from true Christians are the Father and His Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ. In this Sermonette we will consider various scriptures and examples that will illuminate this point.

When we compare the greatest of mankind’s plans with the plan of God, there is no comparison. God’s vision for the future is so vast and awesome that people’s imagination cannot even begin to comprehend it. Only with the mind of God, made possible by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, is it possible to know what God has in store. Having such a great promise, we can look beyond our present circumstances, focusing ahead on the greatness of God’s coming kingdom. With this knowledge about what God’s plan is, how can we prepare ourselves to actively participate in it today? 

What does the Bible say about the seven last trumpets, which are directly related to the annual Feast of Trumpets? Who will hear them? Will YOU hear them, if you are alive by the time when they are blown, whoever and wherever you are? Do the Bible and history give us any hint as how to answer this question?

The Feast of Trumpets reminds us that Christ’s return will bring judgment before restoration, and His word, the sword of truth, inevitably causes division in a world opposed to God. As we give our offerings today, we declare our loyalty to God, choosing to stand with His truth in faith and courage until the day of restoration arrives.

We often live under the illusion of control, convinced that we can direct our lives by our own will, yet Scripture shows this pursuit always ends in loss, frustration, and even destruction. From Adam and Eve to Job, Esau, and Paul, the Bible reveals that true peace and maturity come not through grasping for control but through surrendering to God’s will. The greatest freedom we can ever know is found not in self-rule, but in faithfully, humbly following the Father’s lead.

In this program: Mandatory military service for women; nuclear weapons against Israel; Russia’s attack on Poland, Romania and Lithuania; America’s attack on vessels in the Caribbean; Britain’s embarrassing humiliation; annual $100,000.00 fees for H-1B Visas; the government’s threats against nonprofits; and the controversial “indefinite” suspension of Jimmy Kimmel.  

Is punctuality important to you? What might being late say about your character? Do you have excuses ready when you’re late? Could your lateness actually sin against God, your fellow human beings, and yourself? Is God ever late? Shouldn’t we also avoid being late?

The Bible distinguishes between prophets (spokesmen, inspired to proclaim God’s Truth) and seers (those given spiritual vision or perception), though at times, these roles overlapped, as with Samuel, Gad, and Nathan. Both were used by God to provide guidance, correction, and warnings, keeping His people aligned with His Law. While we may not have ordained seers or prophets today, Scripture reminds us to seek spiritual sight and courage, so we can live by God’s Truth even when it is unpopular.

This program gives many examples of the ongoing downfall of the USA and its deteriorating relationship with friends and allies, as well as frightening conduct by its enemies, notwithstanding wishful thinking and statements to the contrary. There is a reason for that, and God’s Church has a duty to proclaim this reason. This includes the fact that the USA will NOT win a major war anymore, as Herbert W. Armstrong so famously proclaimed.

Are you a true Christian, and if not, how can you become one? On the other hand, what must true Christians guard against to ensure they remain true Christians? The answers to these questions are of utmost importance and will determine your ultimate salvation.

“I don’t want to” is a saying which you should eradicate from your mind when you deal with sin and repentance.

When we read through the book of Judges, we might think that this book is just an historical record of the Children of Israel occupying the promised land and the obstacles they faced. However, when analyzed, their experiences could be a warning to us not to do what they did that aroused God’s anger against them.
