The Miracles of Jesus Christ: Healing a Leper (Part Three)

Jesus' healing of the leper in Mark 1:40-45 exhibits His compassion for those suffering the repulsive effects of sin.


From Pilgrims to Pillars (Part One)

Sermon by David F. Maas

Sanctification is a process through which God transforms perishable raw materials into permanent, indestructible beings—literal members of the God-family.


The Beatitudes, Part 6: The Pure in Heart

'Personal' from John W. Ritenbaugh

Are Humans Good or Evil?

'Ready Answer' by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

Philosophy debates whether human beings are by nature good or evil, but the Bible is consistent—and perhaps surprising—in its description of man's nature.


The Miracles of Jesus Christ: Two-Demon Possessed Men Healed (Part Two)

Bible Study by Martin G. Collins

Most of the accounts of Jesus casting out demons are impersonal, merely stating the fact that He did so. However, one exorcism is quite detailed.


Approaching God Through Christ (Part Three)

Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

The one who comes before God must be pure in body and mind. The priests had to wash themselves from a bronze laver, midway between the altar and the entrance.

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

We are obligated to uphold a higher standard of morality, responsible for the letter and spirit of the law, as well as the prompts of our consciences.

We will not be prepared to rule in the Millennium unless we are experientially persuaded of God's faithfulness to His Covenant and His intolerance of evil.

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

The Sabbath is not a mere ceremonial observance, but identifies God's people as different, and consequently a perpetual irritant to the world.


Sanctification and Holiness (Part 5)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

God gives conditions for acceptable sacrifices and offerings, differentiating the holy and authentic from the defiled, unclean and strange.


How Will We See God?

Sermonette by Bill Onisick

Revelation 1:6-9 assures us that every eye will see Jesus Christ when He returns, but in what light will we see Him—in earnest joy or abject fear?


Polluted Sabbath?

Sermon by Bill Onisick

Polluting and profaning God's Sabbath means to allow the distractions of the world to prevent us from calling the holy Sabbath a delight.


Matthew (Part Twenty)

Sermon/Bible Study by John W. Ritenbaugh


Foolishness and Cleansing

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh
