Fellowship and Fellowshipping Are Very Important to God

Sermonette by Gary Garrett

If we lack love for our brethren who live in the presence of God, we are emulating Cain. It is God's desire that we stay in the fellowship.


Each Other

Sermonette by David C. Grabbe

If we stick together, allowing ourselves the benefit of exhortation, consolation, and encouragement, we will less likely commit willful sin.


Each Other (Part One)

CGG Weekly by David C. Grabbe

Because of the confusion in the church of God, many have withdrawn from fellowship, implying they need fellowship only with the Head and not the Body.


Contend Earnestly

Article by John O. Reid

All the signs point to Christ's imminent return, yet the Bible warns us not to let down. Hebrews 10 exhorts us to strive to please God and finish our course.


Each Other (Part Two)

CGG Weekly by David C. Grabbe

An individual can teach and admonish only if he is in fellowship with others. God's intention that we be connected to the rest of the Body is seen everywhere.


The Feast: Vacation or Holy Time?

CGG Weekly by Mark Schindler

The Feast of Tabernacles has aspects of a vacation, yet its purpose is far more serious and spiritual. We know this, but what do we practice?


Skipping Services? Consider Carefully

CGG Weekly by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

God's word marks the Sabbath as a time of His calling His people together for worship, so attending church services is a vital part of the Christian Sabbath.


Which Flock?

CGG Weekly by Pat Higgins

We have hundreds of church groups from which to choose. How do we make that choice? What guidelines do we use? Do we even need to make a choice?


Drifting

Sermonette by Bill Onisick

Hebrews warns us to resist the pernicious pulls of the world and the flesh that cause us to spiritually drift, particularly pride and double-mindedness.


The Five Warnings of Hebrews

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

The modern church stands in danger of allowing salvation to slip away. Hebrews gives warnings to help us turn our lives around so we do not fall short.


In the Grip of Distrust

'Personal' from John W. Ritenbaugh

As our culture deteriorates, a deep-seated distrust exists, not just of government but of institutions like the church that people once had confidence in.


Each Other (Part Three)

CGG Weekly by David C. Grabbe

We should assemble with the rest of the Body where possible, and the reason the apostle gives is for exhorting others. We cannot exhort if we have withdrawn.


A Feast Message From Hebrews

Feast of Tabernacles Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

The Bible shows a clear pattern of how people leave the faith: looking back, drawing back, looking elsewhere, and then going backward and refusing to hear.


Prayer and Fervency

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

Living faith has its roots in fervently, diligently seeking God and His righteousness with intense desire (like a passionate lover) through habitual prayer.


Hebrews (Part Eleven): A Simple Recap

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

Most of the attrition from the truth stems from losing interest. Drifting away is rarely intentional, but the result of choosing to live carnally.


Addicted

Sermonette by Joseph B. Baity

Individuals from stable families or those having a network of healthy relationships are less vulnerable to addiction than those who suffer isolation.


Unsharpened (Part Two)

CGG Weekly by Joseph B. Baity

Have we convinced ourselves that unity of fellowship within our group, our congregation—our spiritual family—is just too hard?


For the Perfecting of the Saints

Booklet by John W. Ritenbaugh

Do Christians need a church? With all the church problems in recent years, many have withdrawn. Yet the church—problems and all—serves a God-ordained role.


Loving Christ

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

Participation in Christ's life is the source of all good. Regardless of what church group we are in, we must establish a relationship with Christ.


Forms vs. Spirituality (Part 5)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

The Acts 15 decision did not do away with God's law, but solved the question of circumcision and the misconception that it was a recipe for salvation.


Is There a True Church?

Sermon/Bible Study by John W. Ritenbaugh

God's true church cannot be found without revelation nor can one join the organization; God calls and places each member in its appropriate place in the Body.


The Fear of God (Part Four)

Feast of Tabernacles Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

The fear of God is the first line of defense, keeping us from profaning God's name, tarnishing the image of the Lord, and defending us from pain and/or death.


John (Part Twenty-Eight)

Sermon/Bible Study by John W. Ritenbaugh

The book of John provides a plethora of signs corroborating Christ's authenticity and also shows how to live as God would live if He were a man.


Hebrews (Part Twelve): Chapter 2, A Mind-Bending Purpose (Part One)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

To counteract complacency, Hebrews warns against neglecting God's invitation of salvation, which He does not guarantee until sanctification has run its course.
