Remember Lot's Wife

Sermonette by Mike Ford

Lot's wife made it to the outside of the city, but her heart was still in it. When God says, 'Go; get out of here'—will we?


A Pillar of Salt

Sermonette by Joseph B. Baity

We have a mandate to flee idolatry and the contagion of worldliness. If we seek to save our lives by embracing worldliness, we will lose our lives.


Looking Back

Sermon by Ryan McClure

We must be careful not to get too accustomed to the things of this world so that we find it difficult to leave it behind, like Lot's hapless wife.


Stuff

Sermonette by Mike Ford

Everybody has the carnal habit of accumulating stuff, cluttering up both our physical surroundings, as well as the inner chambers of our minds.


Check Your Culture

Commentary by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

God's people living in America must prioritize God's Commandments over the U.S. Constitution and over American culture. We have a heavenly citizenship.


Our Spiritual Climb

Sermon by Bill Onisick

Our journey to the Kingdom of God is not easy, requiring the same kind of physical and mental stamina that climbers need to climb Mount Everest.


Godly Regret

Sermonette by Ryan McClure

Worldly sorrow is superficial and unproductive, while godly sorrow yields not only repentance, but also a bumper crop of the fruits of God's Holy Spirit.


Faith (Part Four)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

The example of Lot's wife teaches us that God does not want us to maintain close associations with the world because it almost inevitably leads to compromise.


How Expensive is Your Religion?

Feast of Tabernacles Sermon by Mike Ford

we must soberly count the cost before we embark on our spiritual trek. Are we willing to give up our job, our family, or even our life to follow God's plan?


Abraham (Part Ten)

Sermon/Bible Study by John W. Ritenbaugh

Lot equivocated with God's instructions, looking for escape clauses, showing him to be self-centered and worldly wise, compromised by the values of the world.


Faith (Part Three)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

Far from being blind, faith is based on analyzing, comparing, adding up from evidence in God's Word, our own experience, and our calling by God's Holy Spirit.


A Place of Safety? (Part 2)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

Many biblical examples, including Jesus, David, and Jacob, all fled for their lives in a prudent common sense move. Discretion is often the best part of valor.


It Was Bound to Happen

Commentary by John W. Ritenbaugh (1932-2023)

Acceptance of transgenderism has created a malignant character defect in our culture, which is now accepting sin as a norm, calling evil good and good evil.


Faith (Part Five)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

At the time of the end, sin will be so pervasive and so compelling that our only resource for enduring its influence will be our relationship with God.


A Feast Message From Hebrews

Feast of Tabernacles Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

The Bible shows a clear pattern of how people leave the faith: looking back, drawing back, looking elsewhere, and then going backward and refusing to hear.


Faith (Part Seven)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

Pride is a perverted comparison that elevates one above another. Because of its arrogant self-sufficiency, it hinders our faith. Faith depends on humility.


Glory Be

Sermon by Ronny H. Graham

The Hebrew word for glory carries the connotation of a burden or responsibility, just as Christ glorified the Father in every thought, word, and deed.


Pillars in the Temple of God

Sermonette by Ted E. Bowling

Christ says He will make those who overcome 'pillar[s] in the temple of My God.' The pillars of a building support its roof and the structure as a whole.
