Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

When we (following Jesus' example) display the way of God in our lives, bearing His name, and keeping His commandments, God's glory radiates in our lives.

The Return of the Clouds

Feast of Tabernacles Sermon by Charles Whitaker (1944-2021)

Clouds can be an emblem of God's ability to hide Himself from some and reveal Himself to others. God is in total control of what He reveals and hides at any time.

The Glory of God (Part 1): The Shekinah

Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

The Shekinah, the pillar of cloud and fire, depicts God's visible presence and protection. Yet His glory is manifested in many other ways as well.

Clouds (Part Two): God's Cloud as His Chariot

'Prophecy Watch' by Charles Whitaker

God's cloud expresses His glory because of His presence in it. His 'portable throne' in Ezekiel 1 and 10 is likewise linked to 'a great cloud.'

Glory and Oneness

Sermonette by David C. Grabbe

In Christ's Passover prayer, He states that the glory the Father had given Him had also been given to the disciples. Christ's glory is the key to being one.

From Both Sides Now and the Feast of Tabernacles

Feast of Tabernacles Sermon by Mark Schindler

The disillusionment experienced by all living under the sun can only be cleared up under the perfect government of Jesus Christ.

Lamentations (Part Six; 1989)

Sermon/Bible Study by John W. Ritenbaugh

The material explains the reference to a cloud covering God so that prayer cannot pass through as a deliberate echo of the shekinah, the glory of God that settled over the Tabernacle in the days of the Exodus. In that earlier setting the shekinah remained hidden within the cloud and pillar of fire, yet the people still understood that they could speak to God. The present metaphor intensifies the image: the cloud has become so thick that it now blocks every approach, dramatizing the separation the people feel because of their rebellion. This picture of obstructed access reinforces the larger call to repentance and quiet submission, showing that only renewed humility before the Lord can reopen the way to His presence and restore the hope that His discipline will ultimately prove good.

From Both Sides Now and the Greatest Day

Feast of Tabernacles Sermon by Mark Schindler

We must know both where we are starting and where we are going, having absolute faith that we will get there. If we do, taking that last step will be as certain as the first.

Even many extra-biblical sources such as Tacitus, Seconius, Justin Martyr, Pliny, and Josephus corroborate and validate the biblical accounts of Jesus.
