In addition to discussing the deeper significance of the bi-partisan passing of a law by Congress and President Biden’s signing the same, prohibiting railroad unions to strike, we address the biblical warning for Laodicean Christians not to fight in war, while emphasizing the fact that many will do just that.

Each one of us is blessed with unique talents which God has given us to use.  There are examples in the Bible of individuals who had specific talents for God’s purpose.

Was it ever God’s intent that humans should resort to violence and fight in war? What did the Church of God under Herbert W. Armstrong teach on this issue? Is a railroad strike inevitable, beginning in early December? What would such a strike do to our economy? Would Congress have to intervene? If so, what would the reaction be of labor unions and left-wing Democrats? What can we learn from the history of prior railroad strikes?

There is a tendency in many churches to either under- or overemphasize the role and position of God the Father and of Jesus Christ. It is of tremendous importance that you understand the truth in this regard, as it is revealed in the pages of your Bible. This sermon will show that God is a Family and a Hierarchy, and this means, God the Father and Jesus Christ are NOT equal in authority.

Quiet Quitting is a relatively new term in the marketplace that describes individuals who do just enough to get by. As Christians, do we fall into this category? If we do, how do we reverse and do better?

How do we react when we are in a situation where we would feel offended by what the other person may do or say?  Do others feel offended by things that we may do or say, even if the things that we are doing are right in God’s eyes?  What did Jesus Christ do when He was on this earth and faced with these same kinds of situations?  Was He being offensive in any way and how did He take offense?

We understand that sin is a debilitating aspect of the human existence. It takes us away from God in our thoughts and actions and separates us from Him. What is perhaps less obvious is that sin is toxic, and it impacts many around us when we choose that pathway. This Sermonette will cover Scriptures that help us to understand this and incorporate this awareness into our lives. We will also discuss the steps we can take to repair the damage we can inflict with our sins.

Worthiness inherently involves an evaluation, which can be frightening in certain circumstances. For Christians, being worthy in the eyes of God for salvation and other blessings requires faith and personal transformation. It is within the capacity of everyone whom God calls to succeed, turning that frightening experience of evaluation into an exciting one.

The Bible presents examples of nations and individuals who sought God and found Him, and it also reveals what God expects of mankind in this regard.

The only way that we can grow as Christians is by acknowledging our weaknesses so that we give place for God to work in our lives. The vulnerability in that acknowledgment is uncomfortable, but we can trust in the strength of God to give us relief.

Terrible Events are escalating in the world on a daily basis, and the future looks grim. Some say that there is no reason to study hard in school or college in order to get good grades; pursue a career, get married, have children, and plan otherwise for the future in general, as the world will end soon and Christ’s return is on the horizon. But is this the right approach?

Many different ideas exist today as to what is the responsibility of God’s Church in these end times, and how to accomplish what we are commissioned to do. The Bible compares our task with the blowing of trumpets to warn of impending disaster. It also shows us how we are to blow these trumpets. It takes dedication and zeal, as well as total reliance on God and the conviction that He will bless our efforts as long as we are loyal to Him and do not give up.

First, God created spirit beings and things within the spirit world, and the Bible also shows us WHAT He created. In due course, He created the physical world—the universe with its galaxies, suns, and stars, and our earth. Science is still puzzled to this day as to how the universe came into being. The earth later became void and empty, and God renewed the face of the earth and created man. Why? What is the purpose of human existence, and what does the Bible reveal about the future of man… as well as the future of our solar system and the entire universe?

Why are offerings crucial? Why can only tithing or meeting the minimum requirement make us unprofitable servants?  What should our attitude be when giving an offering?

God’s plan is full of mercy. People who never had the chance to correctly understand the complete Truth of God’s plan will have a chance to learn and obtain salvation during a resurrection to physical life during the Great White Throne Judgment period. The firstfruits in God’s Family will have the role of sharing the Truth to guide them in their understanding.

This eighth day—the time which has come to be called “the Last Great Day” does not end the plan of God! The Bible reveals that a New Heaven and Earth and a New Jerusalem will be created by God. This future time will also include the New Members of the Family of God—those who will have a place in the eternal realm of God’s glorious New Kingdom!

The Last Great Day symbolizes the period of the “Great White Throne Judgment”, and is the crowning achievement in God’s plan for the salvation of all of mankind and the building of His exceedingly extended Family, consisting of righteous God beings who will be perfect in character. This high holy Sabbath follows directly the Feast of Tabernacles. An overview of its meaning is given in this message.

This Last Great Day has meaning that is incomprehensible to the world.   They don’t keep the Feast days and so they simply cannot understand.   Because we keep this day we understand that those who were not called in previous ages, who have never heard the name of Jesus Christ or the message He brought, will, in just over a thousand years from now, have their first and only opportunity for salvation.   Because people have to accept Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour, this automatically rules out all those other religions and ideas that have their basis on other erroneous foundations.

The expression, “Thank God” is typically used as a casual phrase without a proper acknowledgment to God.  However, when WE use that phrase, do we truly believe it?
