Who Are the Firstfruits?

Sermonette by David C. Grabbe

We may take it for granted that 'firstfruits' are synonymous with 'Christians.'" However, 'firstfruits' is very general, referring to surprising things.

Born Again or Begotten? (Part Three)

'Personal' from John W. Ritenbaugh

The concept of a spiritual birth has confused many. The Bible consistently compares Christians to already-born children or adults, not fetuses.

The Priesthood of God (Part Two)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh (1932-2023)

The firstborn privileges indicate prominence, carrying the birthright promises. In the New Testament, the firstborn did not always correspond to actual birth order.

Wilderness Wandering (Part Three)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh (1932-2023)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh (1932-2023)

Why We Observe Passover and the Days of Unleavened Bread

Born Again (Part 2)

Things pertaining to the New Covenant can only be understood by those who have been circumcised in the heart, which equates to having been born again.

God's Spiritual Harvest

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

Like Christ, we too are firstfruits, represented by the leavened loaves picturing our acceptance by the Father.

Guard the Truth!
