What Are You Leaving?

Sermonette by David C. Grabbe

The Ephesians had a strong sense of duty and served as a vanguard in the battle against false doctrines. What was lacking was devotion to Christ.

Tychicus the Messenger

Sermonette by Jared M. Ellis

Examining Tychicus, the companion and helper of Paul, we see many godly actions and characteristics like eagerness to serve and bringing the comfort of his news to congregations underlying his role of messenger that we should emulate. Ephesians 6: 21-22 shows that he had a larger role than the just delivering the messages; we see that he came to strengthen the hearts of brethren. Even though there are not too many references mentioning him, he had a large impact on the congregations he does visit. The apostle Paul made use of his services that he was eager to assist him building the faraway churches. Those far away locations involved traveling on ships, hostile countries, and navigating different cultures. Even though Tychicus did not have an important title, he exemplified whatever position we are given we should be quickly willing to serve God and the brethren and sometimes go outside our comfort zones to fulfill our calling.

We must emulate the ways of God, demonstrating justice in our lives, thoughts, words, and deeds, preparing to judge in God's Kingdom. Not all sins are equal.

Elements of Judgment (Part One)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh (1932-2023)

The last days of the Worldwide Church of God demonstrated a dearth of righteous judgment. God expects us to judge wisely within the parameters of His Law.

Remember the Christians

Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

God made the gospel available to the Gentiles to provoke Israel to jealousy. The key to breaking down the enmity and animosity is to put on Christ.
