Jesus, Joseph, David, and Abraham all endured considerable trials before they qualified for their offices. We must make our calling and election sure.


The Covenants, Grace, and Law (Part Twenty-Three)

Making the Cut (Part Five)

CGG Weekly by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

A vile person is one who, in his contempt for God, is wicked, perverse, consumed by sin. Perhaps surprisingly, God says such people should be despised!

Civility and Courtesy

The function of the church is like a teacher's college, preparing the firstfruits and providing them with the needed education and character development.


Matthew (Part Five)

Sermon/Bible Study by John W. Ritenbaugh


John (Part Nine)

Sermon/Bible Study by John W. Ritenbaugh

The Christian and the World (Part One)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

The entire world is antagonistic to God because of the spirit generated by an unseen ruler. Our Christian duty is to stay awake and keep our guard up.
