Grace Defined

Given by David Johnson

One of the most common words in the New Testament is "grace," but what does it mean? We have traditionally defined "grace" as "unmerited pardon," but is that an adequate definition of this important word? If that is a complete definition, then how do we grow in grace as instructed through Peter? Grace is...

Why do Christians Keep the Holy Days?

Given by David Johnson

Those who reject the keeping of the annual holy days like to attack the twigs in hope of toppling the tree. What are the "trunk of the tree" reasons for Christians to keep the holy days, and how can we explain those "twiggy" scriptures? This message will focus on four fundamental principles that undeniably show that...

Honor to Whom Honor

Given by David Johnson

In a world where disrespect is common, it is easy for the Christian to get caught up in that behavior. But Scripture requires more than avoiding disrespect; it requires respect.

Sheep Without a Shepherd

Given by David Johnson

We sometimes find ourselves swept up in conflicting emotions and attitudes as we view the turmoil and tragedy of today’s world.

Eternal Judgment

Given by David Johnson

Evangelical Christianity warns of a future cosmic courtroom where Christians will be judged. Is that what Scripture really says? Eternal judgment is one of the fundamental doctrines of Hebrews 6. Is it something to be feared? Can judgment be positive? And how will we judge angels?

Answering the Call

Given by David Johnson

Christians are told that their calling is holy and should be seen as being summoned to a work and a duty. Like those before us, we are called from something, for something, and to something. Are we keeping that calling before us? Are we courageously answering God's call to greatness?

Take Heed-Do Not Be Deceived

Given by David Johnson

When the disciples asked Jesus about when His kingdom would be established, His first words were a warning about the danger of religious deception. Paul later warned about those in the end time who would be deceived by the miraculous signs of the "Man of sin." What would be the nature of teaching that had the power to...

Doctrine of the Resurrections

Given by David Johnson

One of the unique doctrinal beliefs within the Church of God is that this is not the only day of salvation. Unlike the world, which believes in the pagan doctrine of the immortality of the soul, we believe in the resurrection of all who ever lived. Scripture clearly teaches that God's plan includes three general resurrections. This message examines that...
