The Beatitudes, Part Four: Hungering and Thirsting After Righteousness

'Personal' from John W. Ritenbaugh

It is quite rare to see a person who truly hungers and thirsts after God's way, but this is the kind of desire God wants us to have.


Doing Righteousness

Sermon by Kim Myers

God's church, because it co-exists with the unrighteousness of the world, is in danger of becoming corrupted or leavened by the world's example.


Conviction to Godly Righteousness

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

Real repentance and conviction of righteousness should dramatically augment prayer, study, meditation, but most importantly, how we live our lives.


Principled Living (Part Three): Growing in Righteousness

Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

God's law—the unleavened bread of righteousness—needs to be ingested into our minds as we purge sin, resulting in righteous thoughts, words, and deeds.


Diligence in Practice

CGG Weekly by Mike Ford

One author concludes, 'Practice isn't the thing you do once you're good. It's the thing you do that makes you good.' This describes our spiritual walk as well.


Is the Christian Required To Do Works? (Part Four)

Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

Christianity has both an inward aspect (building godly character or becoming sanctified) and an outward aspect (doing practical good works).
