Dominion and Glory and a Kingdom

Sermonette by David C. Grabbe

When Jesus told the religious leaders they would see Him seated at God's right hand and coming on the clouds, He did not mean they would be alive at His return.


Acts (Part Nine)

Sermon/Bible Study by John W. Ritenbaugh

Stephen's martyrdom and his compassion on his persecutors, followed by the reaction against his brutal murder, resulted in a rapid spreading of the Gospel.


Dominion and Glory and a Kingdom

'Prophecy Watch' by David C. Grabbe

Christ's words at His trial regarding sitting at God's right hand and coming on clouds sound like His return, but they have another fulfillment altogether.


Magic Doesn't Work (Part Two)

Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

People are attracted to magic because they think it brings quick results, bringing them their desires, erasing their fears and providing for their needs.


Does God Care About History?

Sermonette by Mike Ford

It is necessary for God's called-out ones to learn from history, realizing that two-thirds of the Bible appears in a historical context.


Why Hebrews Was Written (Part Three)

Hebrews was written to fulfill several needs of the first-century church. One of the most critical was to explain God's opening of eternal life to the Gentiles.


Abraham (Part Five)

Sermon by Mark Schindler

It is commonly thought that we pay no price for forgiveness, yet Scripture shows that God gives us significant responsibilities to be a part of His family.


Resistance (Part One)

Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

The antidote to spiritual resistance is certainty and confidence in Christ to conform us into His image—a directed movement toward Christ.

Paul admonishes the Corinthians to resist contentions, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambition, backbiting, whispering, slander, conceit, and agitation.


Could You Stand Alone?

Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

Would we have the same courage to stand spiritually as the brave unarmed man who resisted the tanks of the Chinese Red Army in Tiananmen Square?


The Measure of Christ's Gift

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

Jesus selected disciples with disparate temperaments, unifying them to accomplish a steadfast purpose. God disperses a wide diversity of spiritual gifts.


The Commandments (Part Fourteen)

Sermon/Bible Study by John W. Ritenbaugh

Many biblical examples illustrate that when the leader put his faith in God and submitted himself to God's rule, God supernaturally protected His people.


Call Upon the Name of the Lord

Sermonette by Austin Del Castillo

Should we only pray to God the Father, given Christ's words in the model prayer and His proclamation that the Father was greater than He?
