Nahum

Nahum, whose name means 'comfort,' assures the captives that God would again comfort those who had suffered under the fist of the Assyrians.


The Rest of the Sign of Jonah

Sermonette by David C. Grabbe

Jonah likely drowned; the great fish was his coffin rather than his prison. While Nineveh repented and was spared, Judah did not repent when Christ preached.


Prophets and Prophecy (Part Three)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

John the Baptist fulfilled the prophecy of the 'Elijah to come.' We must apply duality of prophecy carefully and cautiously rather than indiscriminately.


Deuteronomy and Idolatry

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

We are admonished to internalize the book of Deuteronomy in preparation for our future leadership roles.


Where Did The Original Apostles Go?

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

The Scriptures are largely silent about the exploits of the apostles other than Paul. We have only general comments concerning their spheres of activities.


Hosea's Prophecy (Part Six)

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

Modern Israel is repeating the same sins as ancient Israel. God's metaphors of the promiscuous wife, stubborn heifer, and rebellious child all apply to America.


Amos (Part Eleven)

Sermon/Bible Study by John W. Ritenbaugh

Ancient Israel had at the core of its religion an obsession to please the self at the expense of justice and the best interests of the disadvantaged.


Not Just a Better America

Feast of Tabernacles Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

God does not endorse the American system any more than any other system not based on God's Laws. The Millennium will not resemble America.


Don't Be Indifferent (1995)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

We cannot allow ourselves to become surfeited with the world's distractions, being lulled off to sleep as the foolish virgins, wasting our precious time.


The King of the South

Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

The King of the South (Daniel 11:40) might be a confederation of Arabic/Islamic nations continually at war with the people of Israel.


Jonah: A Worldview Correction

Sermonette by James Beaubelle

Jonah's worldview did not align with God's overview, believing that Israel's welfare was paramount to any Gentile nation, but especially Nineveh.


A Place of Safety? (Part 3)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

Paul gives two signs of the Tribulation: The falling away and the appearance of the man of sin who sits in the temple in Jerusalem (II Thessalonians 2:3-4).


Abraham (Part Three)

Sermon/Bible Study by John W. Ritenbaugh

Abraham did not come from a primitive, but a highly advanced civilization, having huge multi-storied dwellings with running water and indoor bathrooms.


A Beast on the Horizon

Sermonette by Clyde Finklea

Karl Theodore zu Guttenberg seems to be preparing to be a Fuhrer of Europe with just as much alacrity as some formerly attributed to Franz Josef Strauss.


Psalms: Book Three (Part Three)

New Covenant Priesthood (Part Eight)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

Pride leads to destruction, tricking us into thinking we deserve better than we have. Paradoxically, pride is a mark of inferiority, causing overcompensation.


The Two Reports

Feast of Tabernacles Sermon by Charles Whitaker (1944-2021)

We must not complacently think our days are prolonged, but learn to sigh and cry for the abominations, thoughtfully numbering our days.


The Sovereignty of God (Part Six)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

God has consistently moved His creation toward its ultimate purpose, setting the bounds of nations, motivating rulers to pursue a certain course of action.


Faith (Part Seven)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

Pride is a perverted comparison that elevates one above another. Because of its arrogant self-sufficiency, it hinders our faith. Faith depends on humility.


Satan (Part 3)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

The spirit in man is initially good, but capable of being influenced by the spirit of this world, and surcharged with Satan's negative attitudes.


Psalm 23 (Part Three)

Sermon/Bible Study by John W. Ritenbaugh

The valley-of-shadow imagery symbolizes the fears, trials, and tests needed to produce character, quality fruit, and an intimate trust in the shepherd.
