Foolishness and Cleansing

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

Human nature has a perverse drive to take risks, pushing the envelope, taking unwise chances, foolishly gambling away the future. Foolishness is sin.


Satan's Lies About the Law

Sermon by Charles Whitaker (1944-2021)

Contrary to the assertions of Satanically-inspired men, the consequence for all sin is death. God's law applies to everyone, not just the Israelites.


Sanctification and Holiness (Part 5)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

God gives conditions for acceptable sacrifices and offerings, differentiating the holy and authentic from the defiled, unclean and strange.


Our Genetically Altered Foods (Part Three)

Commentary by John W. Ritenbaugh (1932-2023)

Our food has been hopelessly contaminated by genetic modification. However, we must not look down on others who are unable to purchase organic foods.


Maintaining Good Health (Part 2)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

The cleanliness laws in Leviticus, prescribing cleansing and quarantine, apply to the spiritual dimension as well. God will not tolerate uncleanness.


New Covenant Priesthood (Part Two)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

The Sabbath is not a mere ceremonial observance, but identifies God's people as different, and consequently a perpetual irritant to the world.


Quarantine Principles

Commentary by Martin G. Collins

During the Bubonic Plague that destroyed 1/3 of Europe's population, the only segment that remained unscathed were the Jews, who kept God's quarantine laws.


Vaccine Policy

Commentary by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

God's church, though responsible to preach scriptural principles on God's health laws, including vaccines, does not dictate how God's people choose.


Sin And Overcoming (Part 1): If Anyone Sins!

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

We are obligated to uphold a higher standard of morality, responsible for the letter and spirit of the law, as well as the prompts of our consciences.


Amos (Part Six)

Sermon/Bible Study by John W. Ritenbaugh

The favorite-son status of Israel was conditioned on accepting the terms of the covenant with God. Israel, then and now, has placed her trust in material things.


Be Prepared (2012)

Sermon by Kim Myers

If we are in the end times, we will need to have an augmented regimen of Bible study, prayer, fasting, and meditation, reinforcing our resolve and courage.


Our Part in the Sanctification Process (Part Seven): Cultivating Goodness

Sermon by David F. Maas

God has provided strategies which will facilitate His people's cultivation of the spiritual fruit of goodness, working effectively as Christ's sharecroppers.


Stewardship of God's Temple (Part One): Controlling Our Appetites

Sermon by David F. Maas

After God's calling, the human body becomes the temple of God's Spirit, a reality which obliges us to care for our bodies because they belong to God.


A Priceless Gift

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

God's people are the precious jewels (or the private, personal possessions) of God, obligated to conform exclusively to His will and purpose.


The W's and H's of Meditation (Part One)

Sermon by David F. Maas

We become what we think about all day long, so ruminating on carnal thoughts brings death. Conversely, meditating on the right things leads to eternal life.


Seeking God's Will (Part Five): Goodness

Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

God employs goodness when He shakes us out of complacency and directs us toward repentance. God's goodness is there to take advantage of if we trust Him.


Do You Recognize This Man? (Part One)

Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

Would we recognize Jesus Christ based on a description? Just about everybody with whom He came into contact misunderstood Him, including His own disciples.


Offerings (Part Five)

Sermon/Bible Study by John W. Ritenbaugh

We give peace offerings today through living sacrifice, keeping God's law out of love and to glorify Him rather than just to perform duty.
