God's Perspective

Sermonette by Ryan McClure

Human nature skews our view of reality; there is always more than meets the eye. We would do well to adopt the approach of 'Good or bad, it is hard to say.'

Faith and Spiritual Focus

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

Fasting is not for pressuring God or attempting to put Him in debt, but instead to reveal what we really are, clothing us with the humility to yield to Him.

Ecclesiastes (Part Six)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

We must have the patience to realize that God accomplishes His purpose for us in His time. God's timing is beautiful, taking place at the right time.
