Sin (Part Three)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

Though influenced by Satan and the world, sin is still a personal choice. Christ's sacrifice and God's Spirit provide our only defense against its pulls.


The Momentum of Sin

Sermonette by Joseph B. Baity

Both David and Eve failed to slow down the momentum of their carnal lusts. The momentum of sin is dangerous, especially when the consequences appear to be far away.


Leadership and the Covenants (Part Seven)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh (1932-2023)

All of the sufferings in the present had their origin in the Garden of Eden when our parents sinned, seemingly in secret. The effects of sins radiate outward.


Leadership and the Covenants (Part Twelve)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh (1932-2023)

The first use of the word 'grace' in Scripture is in context with the rescuing of Noah, a preacher of righteousness from the line of Seth.

Feast of Tabernacles Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

Living by Faith: God's Grace (Part Two)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh (1932-2023)

Maintaining Good Health (Part 1)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

Stewardship of our bodies is (like the Levitical maintenance of the temple) an aspect of holiness, strengthening our relationship with Jesus Christ.
