Priorities at the Feast
This message looks at preparation and other matters which will help everyone to enjoy the Feast of Tabernacles by ensuring that we have the right priorities at this important time of the year.
Trust in God
Isaiah 47-Why Babylon Will Fall
Jesaja 47 enthüllt die göttliche Ankündigung des Gerichts über Babylon – einst Weltmacht, heute Symbol eines gottlosen Systems. Diese prophetische Warnung gilt nicht nur der Vergangenheit, sondern beschreibt erschreckend präzise die Realität unserer Zeit. Wer die Zeichen erkennt, versteht: Der Fall Babylons ist unvermeidlich – damals wie heute.
As In the Days of Noah
Jesus Christ said that in the last days, things will be just as they were in Noah’s time. What exactly did He mean by that? What exactly was the same back then as it is today? And what was it like in the time in between? Has much changed at all throughout that entire period? And what might we be able to learn from the past today? This sermon provides some answers to these questions.
Hold Fast Until the Trumpet Sounds
As we prepare our offering for this Feast of Trumpets, what are we doing daily that makes a difference as we continue to prepare for the return of Christ? This message looks at Philadelphia’s example of little strength, but still faithful and asks whether that’s true of us right now, not just something that happened to a church long ago.
The Feast of Trumpets—Why a Day of Joy?
Yes, why—given that the Feast of Trumpets encompasses not only joyful events but also terrible ones? This sermon explores the many reasons why ALL the events symbolized by the Feast of Trumpets are a cause for rejoicing for us… and what our responsibility is—as watchmen appointed by God—to proclaim to others the good news like the blast of a trumpet, even when most people do not want to hear it.
Waiting for God
Sometimes it may seem as though God does not hear our prayers or is unwilling to answer them. This is especially true in cases where people have been ill or facing other problems for a long time, yet—despite initial prayers—no healing or change has occurred. Some people slowly but surely resign themselves to their condition and circumstances; they come to believe that this is their fate and that God simply will not heal them or alter their situation in this day and age. This dangerous misconception can deprive us of God’s blessings.
Blameless
When Michelangelo sculpted David, he could already see the finished masterpiece in his mind’s eye, even though he still had only a rough block of marble before him. And in exactly the same way,
God already sees us today in the perfection we will attain if we remain faithful to His path until the end. He sees us just as a loving father sees his children, and we can and must make His perspective our own.
Laodicea 2.0
Christ’s message to the seven churches is of timeless significance. It is particularly important to recognise that the church at Laodicea mirrors the final era of the church—the era in which Christ will return and in which we live today. From this, we can see where we need to examine ourselves. For it is up to us to ensure that Christ does not have to knock at our door to gain entry.
