Do You Have Enough Oil? (Part One)

CGG Weekly by David C. Grabbe

The Holy Spirit is only a portion of what oil represents. If the Holy Spirit is all we think of when we read about oil, we will miss miss much meaning.


Do You Have Enough Oil? (Part Two)

CGG Weekly by David C. Grabbe

While the indwelling of God's Spirit certainly produces abundance, it is more accurate to say that oil and the Holy Spirit are often parallel, not equivalent.


Do You Have Enough Oil? (Part Three)

CGG Weekly by David C. Grabbe

The foolish virgins did not have enough oil because they did not pursue God's spiritual abundance, nor consistently seek the Source of the oil as a way of life.

The Sacrifices of Leviticus (Part 4)

The meal offering represents the second Great Commandment, love toward fellow man. Our service to others requires much grinding self-sacrifice and surrender.


Psalm 133 (1998)

Unity comes only through the initiation of God. If we would follow the suggestions in Romans 12, we could do our part in promoting unity in God's church.


Maintaining Good Health (Part 14)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

Proper diet demands responsible choices, and if we do not yield to God's laws governing nutrition, choosing the best foods, we will eventually pay the price.


Approaching God Through Christ (Part Five)

Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

Though the menorah has been paired with Judaism, it should more properly be associated with Jesus Christ, the Light of the World.
