Fall Feasts and Completion
Given by Ken Treybig
Today I want to rehearse some of the ‘big picture’ lessons we learn from God’s feasts—and particularly the fall festivals we’re about to observe. Mr. Franks gave an overview in his member letter this week. But I want to add another dimension to the fall festivals—how they signify ‘completion’.
Depend on God Every Day
Given by Jim Franks
Life is hectic, and trials will come. The lesson from God’s Word is for us to depend on Him every day and not just cry out when something bad happens.
Being a Light in a Dark World
Given by Jim Franks
Members around the world have a story to tell about their lives and how God called them. It is inspiring to hear these stories and see how the life and example of one person can affect the lives of so many others. Paul wrote to the Philippians and encouraged them to “shine as lights in the world.”
Our Founding Fathers
Given by Jim Franks
The founding fathers of the United States were men who were willing to sacrifice for their goal of independence. The apostles who were involved in the founding of the New Testament Church were also willing to sacrifice. All but John died as martyrs.

Given by Jim Franks
Staying faithful to God and His truth to the end is a wonderful thing. We all must be committed to finishing the job—however long it may take. My own mother was called at the age of 21 and remained faithful until her death at the age of 94. Faithfulness and endurance are key ingredients for Christians.

We preach the gospel to the world, but what are we doing to develop our young people who sit among us each and every Sabbath? A classic story illustrates this case. God describes His children as jewels that need to be polished and refined. Our young people are like that. What should we do to help them?
Watch and Pray Always
Given by Jim Franks
With 50 countries holding elections in 2024, this promises to be a remarkable year on the geopolitical landscape. Almost 40 percent of the world’s population could vote for new leadership. Christ tells us that we should watch and pray. That admonition is important for us today.
Why the Church?
Given by Jim Franks
We live in a society that has become more and more nonreligious and even antichurch. 30% of all churches that closed for COVID-19 did not reopen. The percentage of people who are involved with a church has dropped to almost half what it was in 1990. In a nonreligious society, what about the Church of God? What impact does this have on...
Things That Matter
Given by Jim Franks
As Christians, all of us, including FI graduates, must focus on what is really important in life. These things include the truth, our relationship with God and our relationships with each other.
