If we want to be like our Savior, then we will live the way He lived, keeping God's commandments — which exemplify the highest form of love.


No Time to Think!

Commentary by Martin G. Collins

The media attempt to hypnotize the citizenry to hate Donald Trump and love Hillary, pretending to explain complex situations by two second sound-bites.


Ministerial Misleading

Commentary by John W. Ritenbaugh

The biblical illiteracy of the American people is illustrated with the 'clergy' who have been instrumental in the passage of same-sex 'marriage' laws.

Sermonette by Austin Del Castillo

The rampant disorder in America may encourage God's people to choose political sides, but doing so may place them in a position of opposing God's will.


Authority and Government

Sermon by John O. Reid

Too many feel that they are above the law, but paradoxically, laws proliferate when corruption prevails. We must be subject to all law, God's and man's.

Satan seeks to distract God's people by enticing them to meddle in governmental matters, thereby endangering their relationship with God.


'Christianity Today' and Trump

Commentary by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

Donald Trump is not a paragon of virtue but is a change from the doctrines entrenched in Washington. Personal morality is not enough to remove anyone from office.


The Same Plumb Line

Commentary by David C. Grabbe

A former president was sexually immoral, lied with impunity, and misused his position. The same is true of the current one. Will we apply God's standard equally?


We Still Need a Sense of Urgency

Sermon by Kim Myers

God's selecting a particular candidate does not necessarily mean He has given America a reprieve from the results of her sins. We still need a sense of urgency.

Ecclesiastes was to be read during the Feast of Tabernacles, emphasizing a state of temporariness, as God's people were commanded to live in temporary quarters.


Structure and Sovereignty in Daniel 2-7

Sermon/Bible Study by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

Self-Government: Overcoming

Feast of Tabernacles Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

We dare not allow anybody to come between God's direct governance and ourselves. Even God's government will not work unless we voluntarily govern ourselves.

Faith Over Fear

When it looks like things are out of control, God is busily at work behind the scenes. If we replace anxiety with faith, God will grant us divine peace.

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

When the commands of a secular state conflict with God's commands, we face the same dilemma as was faced by Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.

All worldly institutions will be shaken, including America. Only the everlasting word of God and ultimate establishment of the Kingdom will never be moved.

Unity (Part 3): Ephesians 4 (A)

Feast of Tabernacles Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

God alone chooses the servants through whom He works His will. Sometimes the rationale God uses for selecting His vessels defies worldly wisdom.


Jehu: A Type for Today

Sermon/Bible Study by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

Jehu may have been called to save Israel, but he was impulsive and bloodthirsty. Though he destroyed Baalism, he did not restore true worship of God.


Think Soberly (Part One)

Sermon by Mark Schindler

As we examine our spiritual gifts, we must avoid any presumption that we alone carry exclusive knowledge that other church groups are too blind to see.


Gideon's 300
