How Is the Quarantine Affecting You?

Given by Doug Johnson

Split-Sermon As with most things dealing with human beings, our recent self-isolation from the novel coronavirus affects us all. Is that good or bad? Or both? Are there any spiritual analogies we ought to know about? Let’s take a look…

44:52 What Are You Doing Here, Elijah?

What Are You Doing Here, Elijah?

Given by Doug Johnson

Split-Sermon We're told in the book of James that Elijah was a man "with a nature like ours" (James 5:17). Yet even he had his moments of weakness. What do we need to take from his experiences (strong and weak) to strengthen our faith?

49:03 But I Thought It Was That Way …

But I Thought It Was That Way …

Given by David Johnson

The Israelites didn’t take the route they expected when leaving Egypt. How about us? Are we taking the lessons of Unleavened Bread with us as we head toward Pentecost? Are we still taking in the mind of Christ—the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth? Or has the world begun to leaven our thinking?

1:01:59 The Strangest Interval

The Strangest Interval

Given by Doug Johnson

There are always gaps, or intervals, between holy day seasons. We’re in one now—perhaps the “strangest” interval ever! The early New Testament church had a “strange interval” too, the year Christ died and was resurrected—the same year the Church of God began on Pentecost. What did they go through, and what did they learn? What will we...

1:11:29 After It’s Over…Then What?

After It’s Over…Then What?

Given by Doug Johnson

What will our world look like, “post-COVID-19?” What will the Church of God look like? Where do you and I fit in the whole scenario? What should we do about it all?

1:04:42 Defeating the Master of Distraction

Defeating the Master of Distraction

Given by Doug Johnson

This current world health crisis tends to consume a person’s time and attention, whether healthy or sick. How should we view it? Are there spiritual “viruses” lurking in the world too? How do we spot them? What (or who) is their source? How do we combat this spiritual challenge, this spiritual distraction?

1:02:47 A Passover Meme for 2020

A Passover Meme for 2020

Given by Doug Johnson

The strangeness of events in our world has even changed our observance of God’s festivals this spring. How must we, as those God has called out of this world, approach this special season of the year? What should our focus be? What must we look for in our “pre-Passover” examination?

35:59 Believe Also in Me

Believe Also in Me

Given by David Johnson

In times of confusion and distress, we understandably turn to Scripture to find direction and peace. Jesus told His disciples that they should not let their hearts be troubled – easier said than done – and then told them, “You believe in God; believe also in Me.” What did He mean by that? How does that bring us stability when the world...

44:12 The Most Important Knowledge

The Most Important Knowledge

Given by Doug Johnson

Split-Sermon If you had been Jewish, living in Germany in the 1930s, there was knowledge, that if acted upon, could have saved your life. If we are God's "called out ones" living now, there is also knowledge He has given us that will save our lives...if we act on it!
