Themes of I Corinthians (Part 1)

Differences of Opinion

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

Satan champions self-opinion and mob behavior. God's church has never been immune to division because each member has only part of the truth.

Hebrews (Part One)

Sermon/Bible Study by John W. Ritenbaugh

In terms of spiritual insight, Hebrews is a pivotal book, whose function is to bridge the purposes and themes of the Old and New Testaments.

Dogs and Sheep

Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

The sheepdog must be instantly obedient to the master's commands, self-controlled, able to influence and direct without unduly frightening the sheep.

Forging the Canon

Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

Neither the original apostolic church nor the Roman Catholic Church authorized scripture, but accepted only what was already canonized. Here is how it happened.

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

In Colossians 2:16 and Galatians 4:9-10, Paul was warning against mixing Gnostic asceticism and pagan customs with the keeping of God's Sabbath and Holy Days.
