Why shouldn’t we observe worldly holidays such as Christmas, New Year’s Day, Easter or Halloween? Do we know the real origins of New Year’s Day, which are very similar to the origins of Christmas? How should we avoid participating in celebrations during those days and, at the same time, causing unnecessary offense?
Sermons
Of Good Courage
What does it take to be courageous as a Christian? There are three attributes that the Bible describes. Courage requires knowing what’s right and doing it, overcoming fear, and having faith.
The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse – Part 1
What are the signs of the end? What does the Olivet Prophecy teach us? What do the seven seals in the book of Revelation mean? What do the four horsemen of the Apocalypse describe? In this first sermon of this new series, we will focus on the white horse. Does it picture the victory of true Christianity, as most think? Or does it show something which is quite different?
Weighed in the Balance
We are introduced to the words Mene, Tekel and Upharsin in the book of Daniel. We will go through and see if these words have any meaning for us today.
The Work Ahead
We are to work with vision–with a sense of the job that is before us! It is this perspective that will propel us to accomplish the work God has for His Church in the coming years–a time without parallel since the world began!
Before You Speak
Many times, we speak too quickly or rashly, without first thinking or considering deeply what we are saying. But God holds us responsible for what we may promise. God is totally reliable and trustworthy, and He cannot lie. He wants to see the same character trait in His children.
Thankfulness
We should always be thankful and we are to show our thanks to God for everything at all times. There are several ways that we show our appreciation and how we can also express our thanks to others.
Prayers
Our prayers can be a sweet smelling aroma before God. We must strive to make them so through our willingness to sacrifice our time–in prayer–for our fellow brethren.
Where Does Our Strength Come From?
The strength we have comes from God. We must trust in God, not on our own abilities, to live lives that are pleasing to Him.
The Church
The Word of God reminds us to be on guard against falling away! A vital key to help us in this challenge is to understand the purpose for God’s Church and to know that we are truly members of the spiritual body of Jesus Christ.
