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. Respect toward our fellow humans and reverance toward God require a different way of thinking, and there is an important spiritual dimension.

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. Around us people take sides and lash out in anger and frustration at those who view events from a different perspective. What seems evil and unjust to one seems totally justifiable to another. But Christians are taught to...

If the Spirit Dwells in You

Given by David Johnson

Scripture shows us that having the Holy Spirit dwelling within us is essential for salvation. Is the Holy Spirit dwelling in you? Does "dwell" simply mean it's there or is there more involved in "dwelling?" How does having the Holy Spirit dwell in a Christian affect the way he or she lives?

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...

Established on Better Promises

Given by David Johnson

The book of Hebrews tells us about the New Covenant and says it was established on better promises. While eternal life is a part of that, that isn't the only promise involved. In fact, the New Covenant could not come into existence until the fulfillment of an ancient promise that is intimately tied to Pentecost.

Take Heed No One Deceives You

Given by David Johnson

When Jesus’ disciples asked him when the end-time prophetic events would come to pass, His first words were, “Take heed that no one deceives you.” From these words it is clear that religious deception and confusion will be common in the end times, and that even God’s chosen servants need to give special heed to that warning. How can...
