All of us have anti-Christ tendencies in us, and must work vigorously to root out the anti-Christ elements within ourselves and to become like Christ.


The Parable of the Wheat and Tares

For every pure thing God has created, Satan has manufactured a counterfeit, even passing himself off as an angel of light. He is the master imitator.


Many Are Called, But Few Are Chosen (Part Eight)

We should not expect brethren to be perfect; we all sin. God has not given His People the prerogative to judge another member as a tare.


Man's Greatest Challenge (Part Four)

Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

Satan's biggest targets for disinformation are God's called-out ones. How can the true disciples be identified?

The Olivet Prophecy lists deceit as the first danger confronting Christians who will be living in the disinformation age, strong enough to deceive the elect.

The Faith Once Delivered

Feast of Tabernacles Sermon by Kim Myers

Jude 3-4 cautions us to contend for the faith once delivered to the saints. There are many who would attempt to turn the grace of God into lasciviousness.


Looks Fair, Feels Foul

Sermon/Bible Study by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

Be wary of things and people that appear attractive and fair on the outside, but are actually foul and destructive underneath. Evaluate the fruit.


Inclusivity?

Many churches have abandoned traditional values and have embraced humanism, using buzzwords such as inclusivity, community, spirituality, and justice.


Endurance

Sermonette by Ronny H. Graham

As we approach the time of Christ's return, persecution will become increasingly intense, coming from places we least expect it. We must learn endurance.


Antichrist Deceptions

Antichrists manifest several characteristics, including fostering deception and confusion, preventing fellowship, and creating intense spiritual conflict.


How Much Leaven Can God Take?

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

The tares and wheat must coexist until the harvest when the fruit will become clearly seen, at which time a separation and judgment will take place.

Matthew (Part Eighteen)

Maintaining Good Health (Part 12)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

The church of God today resembles a patient languishing from a deadly disease, resulting from a diet of spiritual junk food and neglecting the bread of life.


Don't Leave the House!

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

As part of Christ's body or household, we have a responsibility to stay attached to the spiritual organism and to respond to the head.


Government (Part Five)

Only those who are governable will be allowed to govern with God. No government will work without each individual submitting in his area of responsibility.


Love Thy Neighbor (Part 2)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh (1932-2023)

He who loves God must love his brother, including every fellow human being. Our closeness with God transcends the other human relationships.
