Christ was attacked for saying that He was the Son of God—that He was God! We are attacked when we teach that we are God the Father’s begotten sons and daughters and that we will become God beings. But what is God, and what will we be? Is God an impersonal blob without form or shape? Was Christ resurrected as a formless blob ? Was He resurrected with a physical or a spiritual body? Does He travel from one place to another? Do angels travel? Will we travel as God beings? Or will we all be part of a great gigantic blob of nothingness?

Glory describes the state in which God exists. But glorification also describes an action of offering honor and praise. How are these two concepts related? How is this relevant to the future of converted Christians?

How old are you? Do you think that you are too young to go God’s Way of Life? Think again! Jesus was 12, when He was in the Temple, speaking to the scribes. King Josiah was 8, when he became king, and he was 16, when he began to seek God.  Does God have a plan for you? What is it?

We must, as practicing Christians, be willing to forsake the world in order to inherit the Kingdom of God.  Pleasing God is rooted on having a generous heart and always striving to satisfy His Will above our own.

As church members we will have tests, trials and difficulties.   We will suffer persecution and those considering baptism must count the cost.  Of course, God’s way of life is all worthwhile because we can have peace now and a wonderful future to look forward to!

It is within this body that we are called to and are to grow in. We must also strive to care for others in this body, more than ourselves.  So what are we all doing to strengthen this body?

Restoration will be the focus of the Work of Jesus Christ as He establishes the Kingdom of God on earth. The Bible reveals tremendous details about this future time when peace and the knowledge of God will fill the world.

Events and conditions leading up to the millennium and the return of Christ.

We are appearing before God to celebrate His blessings in our lives. This includes rehearsing the meaning of the Feast of Tabernacles—how it started, how it continues and how it will find new relevance in the future.

The action of offering support to others and accepting support when it is offered is a very important aspect of living a Christian life. We support one another as brethren. We support the Church in it’s fulfillment of the great commission. We need support from the Church to understand the Truth. This act of offering support is part of our role in the Kingdom of God as well, when we will eternally support the will of God!

For the Israelites of old, this Day was governed by priestly activities—with sacrifices and ceremonial functions, first in the Tabernacle and then the Temple of God. But what does the Day of Atonement mean for us? How do we observe this time—is there more to it than going without food and water?

Most of us are unaware of the small things which govern our lives—those critical elements which effect our physical well-being. This is also true when it comes to how we live as Christians. Paying attention to the small things is a lesson that is emphasized over and over in the Bible, and it is a vital key to spiritual growth.

The laws of man have increasingly superseded the laws of God in recent years.  Belief in God is considered archaic and superstitious.  This attitude has plagued the nation of Israel throughout their history.  Time after time it wasn’t freedom, but slavery, that Israel sought as they gave up on God’s laws and followed after Idolatry.  We must be wary not to follow the human reasoning that preaches freedom, but it actuality only results in slavery.

Why are we to appear before God three times a year, “at the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Tabernacles”? What is meant by this term, since we are commanded to attend every Holy Day service, in addition to weekly Sabbath services? How are we to appear, and where? Why does God command to give an offering on each Holy Day? Does He need our money?

The Feast of Trumpets symbolizes the coming of the Messiah, Jesus Christ. The Bible prophesies that in the end time, just prior to His Return, there will be massive religious deception and confusion. How can we protect ourselves against false prophets and religious teachers, as well as wrong doctrines? How can we prevent from falling away from God’s Truth?
