Motives

Sermonette by Joseph B. Baity

Our motives must be to serve God and our spiritual siblings rather than elevating ourselves. Are we trying to help or merely putting on a show?


Do Not Sound a Trumpet

Sermonette by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

To call attention to one's prayers, fasting, and offerings is a display of hypocrisy. We are warned about showing off our piety and righteousness.


Secret Faults and Presumptuous Thoughts

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

People can mentally 'legalize their iniquities,' in doing so attempting to make God the accomplice of their sins. But He will not overlook blatant faults.


Bitterness Can Kill

Sermon by Mike Ford

Ahithophel serves as a poignant example that we must not permit bitterness to undermine our faith that the sovereign God is able to bring justice.


Matthew (Part Five)

Sermon/Bible Study by John W. Ritenbaugh

The word 'blessed' in the Beatitudes means happy from within, not dependent on circumstances. It comes from having God's spirit and hope for the future.
