Prophecy is commonly understood to be a prediction of the future that has been divinely inspired. However, both true and false prophecies exist, and, for us, what is important is to discern the difference.

Bearing Good Fruit
How can we come to have good fruit? The Bible mentions bearing good fruit in many places. So just how can we come to have the right fruits?
Glory
Glory, as the Bible defines it, describes a state of perfect spiritual existence as well as an act of praise towards another. The Bible also provides us with specific instructions about how glorification works and to whom it must be directed. By participating in glorifying God with our behavior, we qualify to be glorified in a state of spiritual perfection as well, thereby achieving an important goal in God’s plan.

Answered Prayers
To receive answers to our prayers, we must not neglect seven all-important keys. We explain in this sermon what they are.
Those Who are Called
The Bible tells the story of people whom God has called. One
remarkable account is that of Jeremiah, but his is not the only extraordinary
record of God’s calling. Among others are those in the Church of God–people who
have been called to become the first fruits of salvation. There is much said to
“those who are called”–instructions from God to assure that we each fulfill our
calling.
How to Play
As we work to accomplish our goals in life, we can treat our activity in
different ways. We can do things as a means to an end or we can do things as an
end in themselves. However, each of those approaches alone is problematic if we
desire to live a life that is pleasing to God. A third, and better way to treat
our activities is in perspective, knowing that it is important to keep the end
goal in mind, but also that the means by which we work is how we will be judged.
