All people will be judged according to the quality of their works after they make the covenant with God. Works are required and rewarded.

Hebrews (Part Ten): Chapters 1 and 2

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

Perfect, Gentle Courtesy (Part 1)

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

Our manners express our personality, especially as they portray humility, courtesy, or gentleness, and are improved as we make use of God's Spirit.

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

Because we are all sinners, we have earned only death; justification is not earned, but must come through faith and believing God as did our father Abraham.
