Christian Zeal

Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

Zeal has been discredited as the tool of the charlatan, but Christians must develop passion and zeal for the Christian way of life and the Kingdom of God.

Humanism's Flooding Influence (Part Two)

Commentary by John W. Ritenbaugh (1932-2023)

The world's religions today are steeped in humanism, leaving the church of God standing virtually alone defending God's truth in a world of falsehood.

The Doctrine of Israel (Part Eight): Romans 10

Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

From the days of Sinai on, the ancient Israelites fixated on the notion that they were God's chosen people. This perspective proved counterproductive.

Hypocrisy: The Last Sin of America

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

Having its roots in a Greek word denoting 'actor', hypocrisy suggests pretending or deceiving—a filthy inside disguised by a clean outside.

Christmas, Syncretism, and Presumption

'Personal' from John W. Ritenbaugh

Many think keeping Christmas is fine, yet God never tells us to celebrate His Son's birth. Celebrating such an obvious mix of biblical truth and paganism is presumptuous.

The Foolishness of Bias

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

The wise must not be diverted by fallacies, but must patiently sift through the facts, separating them from inferences and measuring them against the Word.

The Covenants, Grace, and Law (Part Twenty-Five)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

In Galatians, Paul took issue with the Halakhah, not God's word. Halakhah was a massive collection of human opinion that placed a yoke on its followers.

The Commandments (Part One)

Sermon/Bible Study by John W. Ritenbaugh

What have we accepted as our authority for permitting ourselves to do or behave as we do — our value system, our code of ethics or code of morality?

Sincerity Without Truth Is Worthless

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

It is dangerous to judge something on the basis of apparent 'sincerity,' which is often the opposite of godly sincerity. Godly sincerity is paired with the truth.

The First Commandment

'Personal' from John W. Ritenbaugh

Idolatry is probably the sin that the Bible most often warns us against. We worship the source of our values and standards, whether the true God or a counterfeit.

Elements of Judgment (Part Four)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh (1932-2023)

We need to learn to judge in a godly manner, putting merciful restraints on our tendency to condemn or jump to conclusions. One size does not fit all.
