Our Affinity to Christ

Sermon/Bible Study by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

Jesus has already suffered the things we have, and now serves as our compassionate High Priest and Advocate. He provides the pattern we are to emulate.


Is the United States a Christian Nation? (Part Three)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh (1932-2023)

America has never embraced true Christianity as its dominant faith, nor has it ever really followed Christ, but has instead embraced a counterfeit.


Four Views of Christ (Part 2)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

The Gospels are Christ's biography. They also illustrate the typology of Revelation 4:7 depicting a lion, ox, man, and eagle, giving a picture of Christ's character.


Is the United States a Christian Nation? (Part Two)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh (1932-2023)

A true Christian is sanctified by a specific body of beliefs and how he lives. No mainstream church in America has ever yielded itself to the right doctrines.


Image and Likeness of God (Part Two)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

Jesus did not take on a different shape or form when He was transfigured. Taking on the image of the heavenly does not vaporize one into shapeless essence.


Four Views of Christ (Part 5)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

Luke's gospel portrays Christ as the son of man, the high priest of man, and the savior of man, having all the feelings, compassions, and aspirations of man.


Government (Part Three)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

Our attitude toward government must be one of submission. The church cannot perform its function without the cooperation of the carnal civil governments.


The Glory of God (Part 3): From Glory to Glory

Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

We must not limit God's glory to something physical like fire or cloud, but rather recognize God's glory as radiating from His character, which we can share.


The Unleavened Sinless Life!

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

Like with Joseph, trials and troubles have been preplanned by God to shape us into members of His family, predestined to be sanctified and glorified.


Government (Part Four)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

For us to take on the glory of God, we must have the same kind of access to the Father as Christ did, taking on the responsibility of behaving like His sons.


The Covenants, Grace, and Law (Part One)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

The doctrinal changes made by the Worldwide Church of God have devastating ramifications. Predictably, when the vision was changed, God's law was cast aside.


The Pure in Heart

Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

It is the core of our heart that must be cleansed before we can have a pure heart, enabling us to see God as He is.


Completing Sanctification

Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

An emphasis on hyper-grace is wrong-headed, denying any need for repentance and overcoming, and totally at odds with the teachings of Jesus Christ.


Remaining Unleavened

Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

Our carnal natures must be displaced by God's Holy Spirit, motivating us to refrain from causing offense, but freely forgiving others as God has forgiven us.


Titus (Part Seven): Maintaining Good Works

Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

Even though we are not justified by good works, good works are the honing process with which God perfects us in the life-long process of sanctification.


Hebrews (Part One)

Sermon/Bible Study by John W. Ritenbaugh

In terms of spiritual insight, Hebrews is a pivotal book, whose function is to bridge the purposes and themes of the Old and New Testaments.


Leadership and the Covenants (Part Two)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh (1932-2023)

We must become leaders in our own families, protecting them from the curses that are already falling on our nation. We have the obligation to fear God.


Truth (Part 4)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

Through the shaping power of God's Holy Spirit, He starts to fill the chasm that divides us so we can have fellowship with Him.


From Dust to Glory

Feast of Tabernacles Sermon by Clyde Finklea

As our sanctification process comes to full term, we will see our Creator as He is, having attained the same glorified state.


In Him Was Life

Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

Although we have physical-chemical existence, we do not yet have God's quality of life. The key quality of eternal life is a vibrant relationship with God.
