By This Shall All Men Know You

Sermon by John O. Reid

A native practice involves leaving a young man on a remote island with only a bow and arrows until he learns to become a man, and God does something similar.

Taking an Insult

Sermon by Ted E. Bowling

As God's called-out saints, we are mandated to embrace a "foot-washing attitude," constituting a daily commitment to humility, forgiveness, and selfless service to God, our spiritual siblings, and our neighbors. Referencing David's restraint toward Shimei in II Samuel 16 and 19, and Our Savior's teachings in Matthew 5:38-42, we are to resist retaliating against insults, but to respond to offences with grace and forbearance. When Jesus commands us to turn the other cheek and go the extra mile, he never presented that option as weakness and timidity, but as powerful demonstrations of spiritual maturity, reflecting God's character. When we consider David's dignity in the face of insult, coupled with Jesus Christ's incredible love for His enemies, we believers are prompted to trust God's justice, responding with humility. True spiritual strength lies in meekness rather than revenge. Emulating godly meekness strengthens our witness to a hostile world.

Love Thy Neighbor (Part 1)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh (1932-2023)

Waxing Cold

'Prophecy Watch' by John Reiss

As Christ's return nears, we must not allow our godly love to grow cold. Instead, we must maintain and even grow in love toward God and our fellow man.

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.

Discerning Truth and Applying Wisdom

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

Spiritual discernment is a gift from God, enabling us to judge between good and evil, comparing things with God's Word to see if they align with His standards.
