Loving Christ

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh (1932-2023)

Participation in Christ's life is the source of all good. Regardless of what church group we are in, we must establish a relationship with Christ.


Love's Importance and Source

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

God is the source of real love; mankind by nature does not have it. It is only by knowing God that we can have this love. Godly love is a cycle that God initiates.


Marriage and the Bride of Christ (Part Six)

Husbands must be humble (willing to sacrifice), imitating the behavior of Christ, striving to attain reconciliation and atonement with their wives.

The Summertime Soldier and Sunshine Patriotism

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

We must put our lives, treasure, and honor on the line, picking up our cross daily, declaring our independence from carnality, evil and bondage to sin.


Principled Living (Part Four): Giving of Ourselves

Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

As Christ sacrificed for us, we are called to sacrifice for others. Love is an action, a behavior, rather than an emotion, described in I Corinthians 13.


Parenting (Part 2): Fathers

Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

Patriarchy is family organization with the father having ultimate authority. The husband's role, grounded in love, must not be abusive or domineering.


The Pure in Heart

Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

It is the core of our heart that must be cleansed before we can have a pure heart, enabling us to see God as He is.
