There will be offerings in God’s coming Kingdom, at least for a while. These future sacrifices will not atone for sin but serve as reminders of Christ’s ultimate sacrifice, teaching humanity purity, gratitude, and reverence for God and His ways. We are called to mirror this same attitude as we participate in God’s great plan of restoration and peace.
Sermons
Why are we Continually Tested?
Eight reasons why we’re tested are reviewed in this sermon. If the suffering we presently endure brings great hardship, cruel and unusual punishments, severe persecution or even death itself, none of these evils can compare with the future that is awaiting true Christians. We’ve got to be tested before we’re given great responsibility which we will have in God’s Kingdom.
Opening Night: How Can You Have the Best Feast Ever?
Yes, how can you? This message — the opening message for the Feast of Tabernacles 2025 – shows important principles and steps that you must follow in order to make your wish a reality. And seeking God and His righteousness has everything to do with it.
It Has to Be Another Miracle
This message looks at miracles in the Bible, some present day miracles and an encouraging miracle prophesied at the end of this age of man.
A Living Sacrifice
What does it mean to live our lives as a living sacrifice? By learning to practice obedience, we prioritize God’s way of life over any of the physical rewards that the world can offer. The sacrifice of giving up those comforts to choose the path of righteousness instead is how we serve God.
Elements of the Day of Atonement
In both the Old and New Testaments details are presented for observing the Day of Atonement. While there are physical aspects to fulfill, the spiritual applications are profoundly meaningful and important.
The Case for Loyalty
There is a lot of discussion these days about the desire for people to express their allegiances to various entities. From political parties, credit cards, teams, and even familial alliances, the question seems to be: where do you stand. When there is a tragedy, we see the flow of comments as to where people stand. The only beings that deserve unconditional loyalty from true Christians are the Father and His Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ. In this Sermonette we will consider various scriptures and examples that will illuminate this point.
Something Greater
When we compare the greatest of mankind’s plans with the plan of God, there is no comparison. God’s vision for the future is so vast and awesome that people’s imagination cannot even begin to comprehend it. Only with the mind of God, made possible by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, is it possible to know what God has in store. Having such a great promise, we can look beyond our present circumstances, focusing ahead on the greatness of God’s coming kingdom. With this knowledge about what God’s plan is, how can we prepare ourselves to actively participate in it today?
Will YOU Hear the Trumpets?
What does the Bible say about the seven last trumpets, which are directly related to the annual Feast of Trumpets? Who will hear them? Will YOU hear them, if you are alive by the time when they are blown, whoever and wherever you are? Do the Bible and history give us any hint as how to answer this question?
I Do Not Bring Peace
The Feast of Trumpets reminds us that Christ’s return will bring judgment before restoration, and His word, the sword of truth, inevitably causes division in a world opposed to God. As we give our offerings today, we declare our loyalty to God, choosing to stand with His truth in faith and courage until the day of restoration arrives.
