The Commandments (Part Six)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

People who try to supplement their spiritual diet with lawlessness or other heresies risk losing their identity, and ultimately their spiritual life.

Sermon by Mark Schindler

The lowly, not impeded so much with pride or ego, make better stewards than those who may seem more presumptuous and self-centered.

The Holiness Code

A portion of Leviticus, dubbed 'the holiness code,' describes how God lives. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus expanded the application of the holiness code.


Liberty vs. Independence

Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh
