God expects us to be holy as He is holy. Being holy involves us living by His laws and statutes, and included in them are His laws on clean and unclean animals. Obeying these laws, including His dietary laws, helps us to be His special treasure.

Christ gives us many examples throughout the New Testament that shows us how important our relationship with God is. Second to this relationship is our relationship with our fellow people and Christians. What does the Bible tell us in regards to how we are to grow in understanding and how to have the best relationships possible?

Most of us face financial challenges and decisions perhaps several times in our lifetime. If we have retirement funds we understand the concept of earning a good return on the money we invest. In this Offertory message we will consider that the greatest return we can ever realize is that of eternal life through Jesus Christ. We will consider several relevant scriptures that will help make this very clear.

The very fact that God expects and commands that we overcome sin should tell us that it is possible! We can’t do it alone, but we aren’t alone if we serve God!

An age-old question! The accusations are many, and the following answers have been offered: It was the Jews, the Pharisees, the Sadducees and the scribes, the chief priests, Judas Iscariot, the mob, the Romans, Pilate, Satan, God the Father, and Jesus Christ Himself. But has the main culprit been overlooked? Whom did Christ and the early disciples and apostles, such as Paul and Peter, blame for the crucifixion?

NOTE: THE DATE IN THE SERMON SHOULD BE APRIL 20, 2024: Most of us have, at some point in our careers, gone through a review of our past year’s work performance. For true Christians, we should be looking at our spiritual performance on a daily basis, but especially prior to taking the Passover. In this sermonette, we will consider several Scriptures that can assist us with this process and help us draw ever closer to God.

NOTE: THE DATE IN THE SERMON SHOULD BE APRIL 20, 2024: Jesus Christ sacrificed His life so that all mankind can have the opportunity for salvation. Without His sacrifice, we would be doomed to condemnation, with death as the penalty for our sins. Fortunately, the blood of Jesus Christ washes away our sins to redeem us.

In this program, we discuss the following topics: Faith vs. Fear; Iran vs. Israel; Abortion and Politics; The Christian Passover; “Our Father”; Germany’s New Gender Law; Heatwaves and Climate Change; and Boris Johnson’s Warning for Donald Trump.

The sermon discusses how to Internalize the nine characterizations of the fruit of the spirit to keep sin out to facilitate being counted worthy of keeping the Passover.

The message of Scripture is unambiguous: Christian women are not to teach Biblical or spiritual matters in church or in a public forum.   It may be difficult for some to accept and apply God’s Word on this issue.

It is easy to be so familiar with a particular Scripture, that details apart from the main point can easily be overlooked. These details can also be informative of how God operates.

What is the role of a Christian relating to building up the Church of God? Importantly, how can we find help in fulfilling our responsibility in this regard?

The Bible instructs us to love others as ourselves. Since this expresses a need to love others AND oneself, what does it mean to have love for oneself? What is the deeper meaning of self-love, how does it contrast with selfish indulgence, and how do we treat ourselves with kindness, patience, and honesty?

Are you a person who subscribes to the opinions, ideas, beliefs, and teachings of others by following social media sources? There is one social media platform which is truly unique, and it is the Bible. Are you a follower?

Human beings have physical limitations that determine the boundaries of possibility. God is limitless in His power. What happens when we put the power of God to work in our lives?

God calls us for a purpose. We may not always know why, but as we live our lives, it becomes important for us to stay focused on seeking God in our lives and allowing Him to lead. How much we are willing to draw close to Him will dictate how much we are led.
