Challenges

CGG Weekly by Gary Montgomery

Life is difficult to navigate. Adversity is a common part of life, yet now, having been called by God, we must work hard to overcome and conquer these challenges.


Christian Optimism

Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

Paul wrote some of his most optimistic letters from prison, under the possibility of execution, but absolutely convinced that ultimate victory was imminent.


We Can Make It!

Feast of Tabernacles Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh (1932-2023)

A disciple cannot escape the kind of persecution directed against his teacher. In the wake of this kind of abuse, people can succumb to depression.


Overcoming Doubt

CGG Weekly by John Reiss

Doubt is not without merit, for it can be a springboard to greater understanding. Doubt drives a Christian to seek God in faith, if he deals with it properly.


We Can Make It!

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh (1932-2023)

This is the time to make the most of what we have experienced, establishing our spiritual priorities, and reflecting deeply on why we gave ourselves to God.


Thankfulness (1986)

Sermon/Bible Study by John W. Ritenbaugh (1932-2023)

We need to give thanks for everything, blessings and trials. Christianity ought to be an exhilarating experience, but it depends on our outlook on life.


Love and Fellowship

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

Fellowship with God is the only antidote to overwhelming feelings of despair, doubt, and self-condemnation.


Christianity Is a Fight! (Part 2)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

The most formidable foe in our spiritual battle is the flesh. We must mortify, slay, and crucify the flesh, enduring suffering as Jesus Christ exemplified.


Habakkuk: A Prophet of Faith (Part One)

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

We should never be tripped up when we see bad things happen to good people or vice versa, realizing that history is indeed following God's timetable.


God's Perspective

Sermonette by Ryan McClure

Human nature skews our view of reality; there is always more than meets the eye. We would do well to adopt the approach of 'Good or bad, it is hard to say.'


Faith and Spiritual Focus

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

Fasting is not for pressuring God or attempting to put Him in debt, but instead to reveal what we really are, clothing us with the humility to yield to Him.
