The Covenants, Grace, and Law (Part One)

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.


Image and Likeness of God (Part One)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

Errant teachers have spiritualized God away into a shapeless, formless, ethereal blob. They dismiss hundreds of scriptural references as figures of speech.


From Pilgrims to Pillars (Part Two)

Feast of Tabernacles Sermon by David F. Maas

The intensity of the heat in both the refiner's furnace and the potter's kiln resembles the fiery trials we must endure for the Refiner to remove the dross.


Image and Likeness of God (Part Three)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

The W's and H's of Meditation (Conclusion)

Because we will ultimately turn into what we assimilate, we must take back the hijacked tool of meditation to drive out carnal thoughts.


Philippians (Part Ten)

Unity

Sermon/Bible Study by John W. Ritenbaugh

Unity and Unleavened Bread

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

Submitting (Part 2)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh
