In this first installment, we are discussing the concepts of "saint," "heavenly places," "predestination," and "redemption," as well as the difference between "sins" and "trespasses."

Faith, repentance and baptism are required for salvation. Does the Bible tell us anything ELSE is required?
The work of a Christian is much more than a job, it is a mission. Every single activity should be directed by the teachings of God because all of them will be called into judgment when God's Kingdom is established on Earth. Nothing will be hidden, and therefore, the walk of a Christian must be in the light, and not in the darkness of secrecy.
Why are there SEVEN days of unleavened bread? Why does God say that during this time no leaven is to be eaten, seen or found in all our dwelling place or habitation? Note that the Pharaoh, Egypt and Jericho symbolize sin. How does sin enslave us, and how does God make us free? And is leaven always a symbol for sin?
We begin an interesting survey of types of sin by delving into several naturally existing divisions that the Bible reveals.
In God's eyes, disobedience or rebellion is as bad as the sin of witchcraft or divination. King Saul was guilty of both. And it is Satan who works today in the children of disobedience. But God demands obedience of His disciples. He instructs us that we are to obey others in authority over us. What does this all entail?
God wants ALL men to be saved. Is He failing miserably ...or is it that most of the world does not comprehend God's blueprint? There is a vital key in this message that unlocks the door to understanding what God is working out here below.
The simple things that we need in our lives, like electricity for example, can be taken for granted, but on the contrary, it's only when we lack electricity that it's importance is recognized.

God told ancient Israel to get rid of the groves and high places. They failed to do that as we have today. In the book of Hosea, chapter 7, it states that "Ephraim has mixed herself among the peoples". The Church of God has long understood that that this refers to Britain and its commonwealth of nations and this sermon looks at how this prophecy is being fulfilled today.
Jesus knew before He became a Man that He would have to suffer. But why? What did His sufferings accomplish? And how thankful are we for what Christ did for us?
The importance of being subject to one another in marriage and helpful steps for maintaining a happy and balanced marriage.
One of the greatest desires that men and women have is the desire for power, position and influence. This message looks at good and bad examples and asks each time what the motivation is - is it to serve or be served and what the fruits are.
On March 28, 2010, after sunset, truly converted, baptized and Spirit-begotten members of the Church of God will partake of the Passover. The Apostle Paul admonishes us to examine ourselves so that we can and will eat of the bread and drink of the wine in a worthy manner. How are we to examine our lives, and how are we to recognize whether we live worthy or unworthy of God, our calling or the gospel?
The gift of the Holy Spirit is a seed planted within the lives of God’s called people. To foster the growth of that seed to fulfill its’ potential, we need to be diligent to have the proper attitude, work with it diligently, and acknowledge the responsibility to profit with it. By proving that we can live our lives, growing spiritually with the gift within us, we can rest assured to bear fruit worthy of righteousness.
Some do not think it is possible that God could hate any thing, but He does! But, if we consider ourselves Christians, then we are to hate what God finds abominable.
"You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden."
