The Importance of Thanksgiving |
43:12
 |
Americans celebrate the unique holiday of Thanksgiving. On this day, we
usually eat and drink too much, watch sports, and satiate ourselves. But,
isn't there more to being thankful? Why does God want us to be thankful? What
does it change in us and how can be a more grateful people?

Walk While We Have The Light |
39:31
|
In being called by God, we have been given a unique window of opportunity. The Bible tells us that this window will not always be open and will soon close as a famine of the Word and darkness moves upon the land. This sermon explains this reality and gives examples of how to avoid the evil already present and spreading in this world—walking instead in the light of Christ while we still can.

Today there is terrible death and destruction caused by tyrannical leaders across the face of the globe. It is a seemingly endless amount of evil that continues to pour out from governments and terrorist organizations. In this context —who do you think is the most dangerous man on earth and how can we overcome him? The answers may surprise you.

There are lots of seats to sit in throughout life, but one seat in particular is filled by many people of today. In this message the undesirable position that is spoken of in Psalm 1:1 is fully examined in depth. It also shows us how, unbeknownst to us, we may also be sitting in the seat of the scornful.

Billions of dollars are given to various charitable organizations every year. Although these dollars are important, money is a way that many can give without making much effort to change or disrupt their own lives. There are then two ways to give—the way of the world and the way of Christ. As Christians we have something far more valuable to offer then simple dollars and cents. This message examines both of these ways and helps us to understand how we can give to God and others in a way that will have eternal effects.

The Scriptures tell us that God hardened Pharaoh’s heart. Did God simply
make the Pharaoh’s heart hard, or was it Pharaoh’s doing? Did the great
ruler of Egypt harden his own heart because of the circumstances that he
experienced? We need to know how this process works so that we do not let
our hearts become hardened like his.

Using comments from the victim of a horrific suicide bombing in Tel Aviv as a launch pad, this message forces us to ask the question, "What is truly important in life?" To many, the urgent matters in life are things that can produce much stress and heartache. But the urgent is really a matter of perspective. Can we truly know how to handle these seemingly urgent situations in relation to God's plan coupled with the the time we currently live in? The answer is yes. This message will help you to avoid giving in to, and overcome, the tyranny of urgency.

Have you ever had high hopes that were inadvertently dashed? There are events in life that start out so well and then disaster strikes and the situation takes a turn for the worse. It can involve a car, a home, a job or a relationship. But what if it were our entire life—our destiny? One such destiny that ended in disaster was that of king Saul. He was a man of great stature and humility whose reign began with victory and triumph and ended in tragedy. The lesson of his life is one for all Christians to examine. His story can teach us a lesson that is invaluable.

Every year Americans salute their veterans and well they should. The vets are those who gave their lives to protect and save their country. But is there a lesson in their sacrifice for us? We are Christians in a spiritual war. Those of us who make it into the Kingdom will be the veterans of the war for the kingdom. This sermon will help you see yourself in a new perspective---a veteran of the Christian’s war.

Another war has broken out in the Middle East. Is it a sign of the end? Jesus Christ gave us the answer to this question, but could this current war be the beginning of the end? Where is it going to lead, and what kind of impact will it have on us today? Going back to Genesis, this very informative sermon looks at this war from a Biblical perspective. In addition, it expounds on other signs of the end-time and what we should be looking for and doing as the people of God.

Of the hundreds of sermons you have heard, or will hear in life, they all have one common theme; A message that is identical in its ultimate purpose. That message is—prepare! We prepare for many things in life such as a job, an athletic event, a test and even the daily tasks of meals and laundry. God is one who also prepares. This message examines the types of preparation done by both God and the great people of faith throughout history, and how they directly relate to us. It also explains why we must be passionately preparing ourselves for the return of Jesus Christ.

Everyone has two sides. There is the outside and the inside. What is
most important to us? Is it the person we display to others or the one
inside known only to God? How much do we invest in the growth of the inner
man? Which one do we feed?
|
|
|
42:44
|
As a second part to the message titled The Inner Man, this sermon explains that, in conjunction with God helping us to change from the inside out, we also have to work on changing ourselves from the outside in. Several Biblical examples are used as an obvious parallel to the lives of those who seek to change and follow God today.

Given in druing a secular season, this message is a prelude to the booklet The Truth about Valentine's Day. It briefly examines the many symbols, ceremonies and legends surrounding this supposed "day of love" and reveals the depravity and heresy that lay behind a mask of cards and heart-shaped candy. It culminates by explaining how this holiday of love has nothing to do with the love of God and is one that no Christian should keep.

If you knew you were going to die, what would you leave behind to signify your life long quest for God and His Kingdom? Joseph was one of the greatest patriarchs of the Bible and he left us many wonderful examples of his faith and dedication to God. This message explains, in detail, the highlights Joseph’s life and how they parallel the life of Jesus Christ and in turn are examples for us. It also explains the meaning of the one thing that Joseph personally left for future generations of God’s people to remember of him. His bones!

In years past the Church had a reputation for constantly being in the "gun
lap." We were on fire to do the work, and to contribute in anyway to the
cause of the Kingdom. We rooted out sin in our lives, and we made
sacrifices of great magnitude. We loved God with our whole heart. Today,
there is a malaise that has seemingly come upon the Church of God. We have
lost so much of the zeal we once had. Too many of us have become half
hearted. Why is this happening, and what should we do?

Anyone who has taken a long trip or a vacation knows that there are many that things we must consider and do before going on any expedition. In addition there are certain risks involved when traveling. Possible mishaps or inconveniences. Nevertheless the risks are often worth the cause to reach a desired destination. These journeys have a lot in common with our pilgrimage on this earth. This message analyzes the steps we take in both planning and taking a trip and shows how it is directly related to our life's journey with a final destination of the Kingdom of God.

Before Jesus Christ ascended to heaven to be with the Father, He left a pattern
for solving church problems and conflicts among brethren. It is the
perfect plan for reconciling "in house."
Tragically that
method has seldom ever been used in the modern Church of God—Why?. What did
Christ mean when He said to take one or two witnesses? What did He mean
when He said take it to the Church? And—what is the entire purpose of
going to our brother? We need to know.

Biblical evidence shows that God's plan for mankind consists of a 7000 year period of time, with the Kingdom of God taking place during the 7th thousand year period. Some may then wonder; is the earth we know today only 6,000 years old? What about the testimony of science? Carbon dating proclaims that the earth is billions of years old. Is there any way to
reconcile science and the Bible? Does God's word indicate actually indicate that the earth
is much older than mankind? Did angels inhabit the earth before man? Listen to find out.

The Israelites came to face giants and they were afraid. We also have similar circumstances as we strive to overcome great obstacles in life. This message tells us how we can fight sin and win great battles as we seek God's Kingdom and the righteousness of Jesus Christ.

The many events in each of our lives help to form who we are and what we believe. From the good times to the bad, every experience produces a piece in the puzzle of our life. What do we do with these pieces? Do we use them to complete a picture of who we are, or leave them in disarray like an unfinished jigsaw puzzle inside a dusty old box? From a biblical perspective, this message helps us to realize how the pieces of our life fit together into a picture that we can not only envision, but actually begin to see—as our destiny as the children of God unfolds.

Wandering Through The Wilderness of Sin |
50:42
|
The ancient Israelites wandered through the wilderness of Sin. Why was
this wilderness called Sin?
Is there any meaning in their wanderings for us? Do we wander through a
modern day wilderness of sin? There is rich meaning in this message—especially for the
days of unleavened bread.

It's Hard to Kick Against the Pricks |
41:00
|
Jesus Christ brought Saul of Tarsus to a radical conversion. The future apostle was actually knocked down from his horse and blinded. Saul then asked Jesus, "Who are you Lord?" In the King James version, the Savior answers the man who would later be named Paul, "it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks." Just what did Jesus mean by this statement? And—is there a lesson for us?
|
|
Will God Accept My Offering? |
39:28
|
Three times a year we are to appear before God and bring an offering. Does the Almighty automatically accept our gift? There are cases in the Bible in which we are told that God does not accept an offering given to Him. If not—why? We need to know and consider this issue before we give our next offering on God's holy day.
|
|
How the Kingdom will Spread |
50:07
|
Jesus Christ is coming to establish His Kingdom on this earth. How will that occur? Will the Kingdom miraculously appear throughout the world? Will everyone want to be a part of it, or will it slowly spread country by country—many of which will resist at first? The Bible gives us the shocking answer.
|
|
Is There a Way of Escape? |
46:56
|
Jesus said to watch and pray that we might be accounted worthy to escape the terrible things that would occur at the end of the age. Is this a reference
to a place of safety? There are those who seem to believe
there is no such thing as a place of safety. What does the Bible say and how can we be accounted worthy?
|
|
Inside Out and Outside In |
51:31
|
In our quest to imitate Christ, and to seek His Kingdom, some focus on external aspects of conversion. They emphasize things such as will power, scripture memory, and fasting. Others sometimes put their focus primarily on the inner man, and strive to change from the inside out. Which is most important? Or, are we to approach conversion from both sides?
|
|
|
56:32
|
The high calling of God in Jesus Christ is an invitation to be a part of the most elite regiment of spirit beings that will ever be assembled. Do we understand what it means to receive this calling? Do we realize the magnitude and importance of our calling? Are we heeding to requirements of the invitation that we have received? Are we responding appropriately? Lastly, do you know why God called you? This inspiring sermon will answer these questions and help you to see your calling.

What do you want out of life? If you ask anyone this question, you will likely get the same answer. Most people are going to tell you that they want to be happy. There are billions of people in the world today and all of them want to be happy. Sadly, many of them are not—why? The answer is going to surprise you, and the way to true happiness is revealed in this eye opening message.

What is Protestantism, how did this movement originate, and do their beliefs
have anything in common with those found in the Church of God? Martin Luther may have stood up against some of the doctrines found in the Roman Catholic church. However, did he reject all of them, or was his protest primarily against the authority of the Pope? Although various Protestant doctrines might seem to appear truthful, these supposed truths have been twisted into a lie!

Within a human being there is a drive that sometimes overpowers us. It is
this drive that is designed to help save us when threatened by danger.
However, uncontrolled it just as often leads to sin. It is the defense
mechanism that enables us to often hurt others in order to save ourselves. It
is this drive that Jesus Christ overcame and it is this same drive that we
must also overcome. We need to understand how this force affects us and what
we can do about it.
|

|
44:44
|
What does God require of us? It is not something complicated. It is nothing that is unattainable. He says that we are to do justly, love mercy and walk humbly with Him. But—what exactly does that mean? How can we fulfill His requirements in our lives?
|
|
|
47:34
|
When we were baptized, so many of us promised to give God everything. But for some reason, we hold back—why? Many times the answer to this question is simply that we fear what we don't know. Everyone fears the unknown, and we don't really know what our lives will be like if we give up everything for Christ. However, God should not be an unknown. We know that He is a God of love. We know that He only has our best interests at heart. Further, we can see from the sacrifice of Jesus Christ that God is willing to give everything for us. Why not trust Him completely and give everything to Him? Why don’t we have the faith to step into that unknown world of absolute trust in God?

The anticipation of Christ’s second coming is highly anticipated by every true Christian. We read, talk, listen, ponder and pray about it everyday of our lives. But, do we know why Jesus is going to come back to this earth? Even though we might understand WHAT will occur when He returns, do we realize WHY this must take place? This sermon will explain 7 profound reasons why Christ will return.

Given on the glorious Last Great Day, this message colorfully and scripturally describes and defines a time that is beyond our reach in this life. A time when that which is physical will be changed to spirit, and only then can we truly become perfect.

The Spirit of God is not static. It is dynamic and therefore, the impact of the Spirit can sometimes be great or other times little. On the first New Testament Pentecost, the apostles and followers of Christ were filled with the Holy Spirit. What about us? Are we filled? Or are we running on empty? Are there only fumes left, or does the Spirit have an enormous impact on us as we strive to seek the Kingdom and Christ's righteousness? We need God's Spirit, and this message may help you understand how we can be—filled with the Spirit.

The Coast Guard rescue divers have a motto. This motto reflects the reason they repeatedly put their lives on the line, it is the essence of their calling in life, and it is a way of life itself. This motto is “So others may live.” Coincidentally, this precept has much in common with the calling we have received. It is why Christ came to this earth, and it is the transcendent purpose of the chosen few. Do we see this motto as our own? Do we see that our calling is not just about us? Are we living our lives today, in self sacrifice, for the well being of others?

Is our speech in line with the morals and attitude of a Christian? Keeping our mouths in check is a lot more than just a trip to the dentist. It is a Christian attribute. As such we need to practice choosing the right words, the right way to say them, and the right time to speak. Discussed in this sermon are the three concepts to taming the tongue— what, when and how. That is; what to say, when to say it and how to express ourselves. The opposite is equally important to practice which is; what not to say, when not to speak and how to not state our words.

As God's people we might think we are not prone to sin. But—do we sin on seemingly smaller levels? Given on the first day of Unleavened Bread, this message discusses leaven as compared to sin that envelopes the entire world. Expounding on the 10 commandments, this message examines sin from the perspective of both secular society, and that which also may be lurking in our lives.

We are living in the end of the age. It is the last era of God's Church, and in our age; we are warned that there would be scoffers. In fact, the entire spirit of our time tends to minimize God. They mock Him on television, and in sitcoms. In the media, religious people are portrayed as weird and strange—out of touch with reality. Has any of this rubbed off on us? Do we tend to trivialize God in our lives?

The world we live in has been plagued with the horrors of war from the beginning of its time. As civilization and technology has advanced, so has man’s ability to kill other men. Today the arms race has reached the point that Jesus prophesied. However, Jesus said He will not allow man to destroy himself this way. Soon, He will return to this earth. He will put an end to the ravages of war, and the chosen will help Him accomplish this wonderful goal. However, there is a vital lesson that we must learn before we can be a part of His disarmament program. Are we personally at war with those around us? Do we really think that we can be mean to others, and then help people learn the way of peace in the Kingdom? Listen to this important message to understand this vital lesson.

There is a fundamental physiologic response that forms the foundation of an individual's survival. It is known as the "fight or flight" response and is our body's automatic reaction that prepares us to "fight" or "flee" from perceived harm. As Christians trying to overcome the self, Satan and this world, we see attacks coming from many places. But because we are human and the carnal mind is enmity with God, we many times see God’s correction to us as a threat. What is our response as God works with us to create a new being? Do we fight for right, or do we see Him as a threat and resist—caving in to the pressure of sin? Detailing the account of Jonah gives us great insight to this response, and explains how to deal with its sometimes mixed signals as Christians.

In the Scriptures, God tells us that we are to become perfect. But—what exactly does He mean by this statement? Does God expect us to be without flaw in this life? Does He expect us to come to a point where there is nothing that can be added to make us better before our resurrection? Or, does God expect us to strive for perfection and ultimately become perfect like He is by the miraculous change that will take place when Christ returns? This message offers a comprehensive answer to these questions and many more.

One of the most powerful tools for changing behavior is encouragement. The
trainers at Sea World use a technique that enables them to train massive
brute beasts to perform intricate tricks for an audience. But what about
us? Can we use this same tool to help our loved ones be better people and
better Christians? Listen to this message and learn about this incredible
tool that everyone can benefit from.

Everyone seems to need some kind of motivation in life and there are many ways we to be motivated. But, there is a lackadaisical attitude in our society mixed with various types of both good and bad motivation. How is this affecting the Church? This message explains these different aspects and shows us how to be rightly motivated—inspired to zealously seek the righteousness of Jesus Christ and God's Kingdom.

Today, our lives are filled with many choices, and we strive to be satisfied and fulfilled through them. But, does our freedom of choice truly give us what we desire? No, because no matter how much entertainment we enjoy, food we eat, or possessions we acquire; we will not be satisfied for long. This sermon explains why we will never be satisfied with what this world has to offer. It also reveals how the choices we make reflect our commitment to God. Finally, we learn the only way we can choose that will bring us freedom and true satisfaction.

God commands us to remember the Sabbath day, but exactly what does he want us to remember? Many believe that God only wanted us to remember which day it is. While this may be included in the command, did He have something else in mind? Is it possible that he commands us to remember how we are to keep His Sabbath holy? How holy are we keeping the Sabbath today? Is it the sanctity that God expects? Listen to this message to understand the answer.

If Only I would have Known |
45:02
|
It seems that all of us can look back and remember times when we made decisions that were later regretted. Most of us can recall saying the words "If only I would have known." Sadly, when Christ returns, there will be some who will utter this statement. What is unique in this future instance is-in all honesty we do know! This sermon helps us to realize that we actually do know what God expects of us, and what is in store for those who are faithful. It also inspires us to live the way we know we should?
|
|
The Unclean and the Clean |
58:13
|
In Leviticus chapter 11, God gave His people the criterion for determining unclean and clean foods. These instructions were given as a way of keeping our bodies free from that which is unclean and potentially harmful, and only putting in us only that which is clean and helpful. But, is there more to this physical concept? The answer is yes! This sermon not explains the spiritual principles of the unclean and clean food laws. In addition, it shows us how the values of the world are becoming more and more soiled, and also brings Christians to consider if we in God’s Church may be allowing unclean things into our bodies, our families and our lives.
|

|
The vast number of those in the Protestant community believes that the law was done away. They might believe in keeping the last six commandments, but the first four are certainly up for grabs. Those who take this approach base their belief on obscure passages of the apostle Paul alone. How should the Christian view these verses of Paul? What do these scriptures truly mean? Listen to find out.

Mr. Armstrong used to hammer home the point that we had to qualify for the Kingdom. Today, a growing number of people question this belief. They suggest that our salvation is a free gift and there is no qualifying necessary. What is the truth? Must we qualify for the Kingdom of God, or not? What does the Bible say? Listen to this message to find out.

Among the four elements necessary for life (air, water, earth and fire) there is a fifth essential element known as salt. Most people take this substance for granted not realizing that salt is critical for all life. In addition, there is a spiritual parallel for this element. This sermon profoundly explains the physical uses for salt and explains how each of these uses has a corresponding spiritual application. Thus, we find the reason why Jesus told His followers that they are “the salt of the earth.”

In today’s busy, highly technological world, we are forced to compartmentalize our lives. There is the work world, the family world, the need to keep up with education, housekeeping, car maintenance, etc. In addition, the digital realm has invaded our lives making the compartmentalizing of information an absolute must. Has this trend affected us in ways that are undesirable? Have we somehow compartmentalized the practice of our faith and the Almighty God? Listen to this message and avoid a pitfall that many are falling into.
|
|
|
46:13
|
Proverbs chapter six reveals 6 things that God hates; even 7 that are an abomination to Him. What exactly are these seven sins? Is it possible that we are committing such acts? This message discusses each one of these abominations and helps us to know how we can avoid attitudes and behaviors that are detested by God.
|
|
|
45:40
|
There is a commonly misconstrued doctrine among most professing Christian denominations today. It is one in which many believe that it is the death of Christ that saves us. Millions believe that the shedding of His blood has brought salvation to all that profess His name. Is this true? Just how does salvation come from? What saves us? This message explains the vital importance of Christ’s death, but reveals how we are saved by His life!

46:26
|
Pottery is a fascinating hobby and/or profession, and God uses it to teach us a lesson. He is the Potter and we are His clay. However, does the meaning go deeper than this? What can we learn about this analogy that can make us better Christians? This message will help us all to be better vessels for God’s spirit.
|
|
|
38:02
|
One of the most detested things by virtually every man and woman is correction. Nobody likes to be told that they are wrong. However, this is something that we should desire the most. As painful as it may be, reproof is good for us—something we should welcome. It is the way to navigate the path to eternal life, and is the way to avoid truly harsh discipline. This sermon explains how to recognize and accept correction that may come from various sources and it also tells us how to properly administer reproof to others.
|

|
40:00
|
As children, we are taught to love and respect our parents. With this respect comes a sense of fear in that we both honor them as well as obey the rules they lay down for us. As Christians we have a great spiritual Father that we are to also love, honor, and fear. What excactly does it mean to fear God? Does it mean we are to be afraid of Him? This message discusses the respect we are to have for our great Father in Heaven, and that our obedience shows our love and reverence for Him.
|

50:09
|
No goal in life is achieved without work and preparation. Thus, our lives are literally filled with tasks of preparing for the future. What are we preparing for right now? This sermon helps us to evaluate our goals are by considering where our time is spent. It will inspire us to be certain to dedicate a sufficient amount of time preparing to make a transcendent move; because if we don’t, our heavenly goal will not be reached.
|
|
|
54:30
|
All Christians share a common belief. Each one of us claims to believe in God the Father and Jesus Christ. However, do our day to day behaviors reflect that belief? This sermon examines a seemingly simple and yet profound question—do we truly believe? If so, what are we doing about it? Now is the time that we go beyond belief!
|
|
|
51:25
|
In terms of our behavior, everybody draws invisible lines representing a threshold we will not cross over. What is our line when it comes to our relationship with God? More importantly, what is God's line? Where is it, and will we not allow ourselves to cross that line? This life is our test to see if we will toe the line or not.
|
|
|
46:08
|
God speaks to us in various ways. One way in particular is during our weekly services. There, we assemble before Him in a holy convocation for the purpose of learning from His Word. We pray to Him asking His divine presence and inspiration. We ask God to speak to us through the individual giving the message. The question is—do we listen? Do we hear His message to us? This message will help you to get more of our services.

Laodecia vs The Sabbath -
30 excuses
for doing business on the Sabbath |
77:57
|
When the book A Sabbath Test was published, it was the sincere hope of the authors that the larger groups would see the truth it contained, write their own version, and call upon God’s people to repent of doing business on God’s Holy Day. It was the author's desire that the other churches would use this truth as a catalyst for renewal. However, just the opposite has occurred. There has been a steady stream of attacks and excuses pouring forth from ministers, doctrinal teams, and lay members in an attempt to justify this sin. The sheer number of these excuses is overwhelming. They range from blind indignation to just plain silliness, but we have culled out the most frequent of these excuses and refuted each biblically.
|
|
Diverse Weights and Measures |
51:55
|
God gave His people a wonderful commandment regarding business. If this instruction was followed, our nation would be abundantly productive and prosperous. However, human nature has the tendency to want get more for self and give less to others. As a result, our society has turned a blind eye to God’s way of honesty in business. From the lowest levels to the very highest, we are becoming a culture of cheaters. These constant acts of greed are almost always at the expense of others and they will eventually lead to the collapse of our economic the system. We must be certain that we do not follow the direction America is taking and intimately understand the value of this principle that God has given to us.

Those who are called have to make a decision which way they will go in life. The choice to walk the narrow path has led us to the Church of God as we navigate through a maze of falsehood and deception in this world. With the Bible as our compass leading the way, God’s people have found that the truth, our spiritual bread, must be passionately sought after. Now that we have found it, will we continue to seek it each and every day of our lives? What would we do if we find that the meat of the Word can no longer be found in our congregation? This message helps us to recognize exactly what apostasy is and what we should do if we find that the truth, our spiritual meat, can no longer be found at services.

The concept of the well known adage, "You are what you eat," embraces a partnership between health and diet. What we consume greatly affects our bodies and our minds. Despite what has come to be common knowledge, the majority of people still regularly consume high fat, high sugar, chemically enhanced foods that are literally poisoning us to a slow death. This sermon reveals the toxicity of many foods and exactly who and what is behind this tainting process. Using biblical examples, this message helps us to realize the spiritual application of our diets and also relates helpful information about what to avoid in the grocery stores, and what kinds of foods we should regularly consume.

We all experience fears, hopes, and dreams. However, as we live our lives, sometimes things go wrong. When this occurs, situations that are really just temporary seem to take on a life of their own. Our believed needs and desires take hold of us and grow to gigantic proportions in our minds. Quite often they cause us to make decisions that are not always in our best interest. At such times, we need to put our lives in perspective. Instead of getting caught up in the immediate, we need to remember what really matters.

Because of our human nature and the influence of the spirit of this world, we have become the “me” generation. We are naturally inclined to view things solely from personal perspective. Our view, our experience, and our feelings are all we tend to consider. But—life is actually far bigger than any of us. We need to resist this narcisistic tendency in society and remember the reason for our calling and the vital truth contained in this message—it’s not about you!

Despite the awesome miracles and events experienced by ancient Israel, most of them still found reason to complain. God’s people today are not much different. Virtually everyone murmurs, whines and complains from time to time. Even after witnessing God working directly in our lives, we all seem to find something to complain about. God relayed to Israel an important message and His words stand true for us today. Rewards and sweetness will come, a life of bitterness will end, but something is required of us first. This inspiring sermon will help you to understand exactly what that is.
