Will It Last?

East Texas
Given by Ken Treybig
November 1, 2025

We recently returned from a powerful reminder of what God has in store when He finally intervenes in human affairs. Christ will return, Satan will be bound, Christ will begin to rule and all humans will begin to be taught the truth of God's plan. Will what's we've learned stick?

45:41 The Saints of God

The Saints of God

St. Petersburg, Florida
Given by Mike McTiernan

Mainstream Christianity has ideas on how one becomes a saint, when they become a saint and where these saints are now. Do these teachings measure up with God's word?

Strangers on the Earth

Given by Tim Foster

Returning from the Feast reminds us that we are strangers on this earth, just like heroes of faith confessed. Peter begs us to abstain from many worldly things, just as a stranger would. What does this look like?

Taming the Tongue

Given by Matt Zollner
November 1, 2025

James 3:8 says...no man can tame the tongue, It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. In verse 10 he states, "Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing....these things ought not to be so." Only God can help us tame the tongue.

The Hope of the Resurrection – Part One

Fort Worth, Texas
Given by Ken Giese
November 1, 2025

Over the years, the Church of God has consistently identified the resurrection as the hope of the dead.  The Bible makes it clear that “. . . as in Adam all die, so in Christ shall all be made alive.”  I Corinthians 15:22.  How many resurrections will there be and what is the connection between these resurrections and God’s judgment of mankind?

Redding / Stockton, California
Given by Tom Provine

Why must Satan be released at the end of the thousand years? What can human nature in the time without his influence teach us about human nature today? And what can we learn as we strive to serve God in both time periods?

Counterfeiting (especially when it comes to money!) has been with humans for many centuries. But that’s still physical, even if anything that has to do with money interests almost everybody! But are there such things as spiritual counterfeits? Where would those come from? And if they exist, can you spot them?

To Whom Does the Land of Israel Belong

Castle Rock, Colorado
Given by Greg Sargent
November 1, 2025

The negotiator for Hamas exclaimed that Gaza belongs to the Palestinians. Can we prove that God gave the “land of Canaan” to the Israelites? Do we know the boundaries of the 7 nations whose inhabitants were to be destroyed from this land? Did God allow the United States to take land from existing nations?
