As a Man Thinks

CGG Weekly by Clyde Finklea

"You are what you eat" is a common expression, yet Jesus teaches that actually we are what we think. Even so, we are not always what we think we are.


Think on These Things (2018)

Sermonette by James Beaubelle

Our annual, self-inflicted review of self can be humbling and even painful. We have a measure of control over our carnality which those in the world lack.

God instructs us to be living sacrifices. Too many drag this change out over decades, thereby self-limiting the process of sanctification.


Teaching Us to Think (Part One)

Marriage and the Bride of Christ (Part Eleven)

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

Our concept of marriage must be positive and more mature, modeled after Christ's attentiveness toward the Church, as opposed to the world's distorted concept.


The Millennium and Union With Christ

Feast of Tabernacles Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

The millennial situation will resemble the behavior of our forebears; it will be our responsibility to lead them to hope, joy, character, and faith in God.


Foolishness and Cleansing

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

Human nature has a perverse drive to take risks, pushing the envelope, taking unwise chances, foolishly gambling away the future. Foolishness is sin.


Are You Living An Illusion?

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

Religious narcissists, who identify with the servant who received ten talents, cherry-pick Scripture to enhance their self-love and support their views.
