General Revelation

Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

God's truth is shockingly simple to understand, yet deceptively profound, causing the 'wise' to stumble but guiding true Christians toward eternal life.


Faith and the Christian Fight (Part Six)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

God's calling is personal and individual rather than general, opening otherwise closed minds, replacing spiritual blindness with spiritual understanding.


Why Does God Keep Secrets?

Feast of Tabernacles Sermon by David F. Maas

By not revealing everything immediately, God has been employing teaching techniques that have taken the educational community thousands of years to discover.


Why Many Do Not Understand

Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

Biblical truth cannot be discerned by human intellect alone, but must be spiritually discerned. God has hidden spiritual truth from the majority for now.


The Holy Spirit and the Trinity (Part Two)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

There are varieties of spirit, motivating people to 'go with the flow' and conform to a sheep-like mob psychology. Satan's spirit encourages sinfulness.


Man's Greatest Challenge (Part One)

Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

It is almost impossible to make sense out of this world if we try to process the voluminous information available in these days of exploding knowledge.


Works of God

Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

The idea that the 'work of God' is equated with 'preaching the gospel around the world as a witness' severely limits the awesome scope of God's work.

Sermon by David F. Maas

If we stockpile God's Word into our nervous systems, even though our outer man is decaying while our inner self is being renewed, we will nurture our spiritual legacy.


No Doubt

Sermonette by James Beaubelle

Doubt can be a tool to drive us to seek God and His counsel, where there are plenty of resources to stabilize us from wavering between two opinions.

Sermon by David F. Maas

God's signature, the repeatable pattern of the recurring number seven, can be seen in astronomy, physics, chemistry, genetics, and all other sciences.


Are You Sure You Believe in God? (Part Two)

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

Belief in God involves more than believing He exists, but in faithfully obeying what He asks us to do. Genuine faith gives us access to genuine power.


Immutable Scientific Laws

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

'God' and 'science' are assumed to be mutually exclusive or contradictory. But true science substantiates the awesome complexity of God's handiwork.


The Beauty of God's Law

Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

Keeping God's Law brings bountiful blessings, harmony, and profound peace (Psalm 119:165), while the 'cheap' grace brings guilt, anxiety, and pain.


Limiting the Holy One of Israel (Part One)

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

God has self-imposed limitations when we go against His commands, testing His patience, purposely limiting Him by our faithlessness, robbing ourselves of blessings.


The Teaching of Jesus and Prophecy

Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

The teaching of Jesus is the key to Revelation. The Olivet Prophecy (the testimony of Jesus) in Matthew 24 unlocks the meaning of the seals in Revelation.


Bible Difficulties by Design

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

The God-designed difficulties in the Bible are there to stimulate our minds, causing us to think deeply and meditate on the facts, inspiring us to seek God.


Accessing the Invisible God

Sermon by Charles Whitaker (1944-2021)

Because of the testimony of the creation, people are without excuse for not knowing that God exists and sustains His creation. God is not very far away.


According to His Pleasure

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

God 'took pleasure' in Christ's being bruised, not in the pain and suffering that His Son endured, but in the ultimate goal of adding to His Family.
