A Table is Laid

Sermonette by Ronny H. Graham

We have direct access to the Holy of Holies. God desires us to be at His table where we can always be in His presence, partaking of spiritual food as His family.

Flourishing

Sermonette by Ronny H. Graham

We must strive towards righteousness, especially when we realize that God has a special place for us in His plan. Because of this, we ought not have an inflated ego, nor should we allow ourselves to go to the opposite extreme and think of ourselves as worthless. Beginning in Psalm 92, we can compare the unique characteristics of the palm and cedar trees to righteous members of God's church. Like steadfast faith, the palm tree grows and form rings in a unique way that enables it to withstand winds from any direction. The cedar tree grows strong and withstands external threats, as well as internal rot as from coming from insects and molds, which our faith should also try to emulate. These lead to a proper attitude toward humility as we recognize what we mean to God but not let ourselves get arrogant and complete our function in the church—no matter where we are placed. We also should not "invite Satan to sit at our table" and think of ourselves as worthless but realize we have a special place in God's plan.

Satan, Division, and Humility

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

Competition is the root cause of war, business takeovers, and marital discord. Solomon describes man's rivalry with one another as a striving after wind.

Maintaining Good Health (Part 5)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

In the Bible, eating can be a symbol of fornication. Like Jacob and Christ, we must learn to curb our appetites, learning to distinguish holy from profane.

Mephibosheth

Sermonette by James C. Stoertz

When confronted with the treachery of Absalom, Ziba and Mephibosheth seemed to express divided loyalties just as we do when we yield to our carnal minds.
