As God’s Holy Days show us, there is an early harvest. Christ, the first of the firstfruits, is represented as that wave sheaf during the DUB.

Faith and Passover

Given by Justin Adkins
March 29, 2025

As the Passover approaches and as we are in the process of examining ourselves, let’s not lack faith in that Sacrifice. When we repent in faith, and accept that Jesus Christ has covered our sins with His shed blood, God removes that eternal death penalty. Let’s not be like the people of God of old, who never really...

Given by Justin Adkins
March 22, 2025

With Passover right around the corner, now is the time to be thinking about it, to be thinking about what Jesus Christ has done for us. Don't take it lightly. This is not a check-the-box exercise.

Warning of Jude

Given by Justin Adkins
February 8, 2025

We have to be careful that we don't pick up some of the common ideas from the world around us that are not biblical. We must also be careful as well that the impact of the modern Christianity doesn’t seep into our midst. It can happen easily, subtly, and it has many times in the past. We need to...

Weariness

Given by Justin Adkins
February 1, 2025

Satan will try to crush us with weariness and feelings of being overwhelmed. End time prophecies speak of a falling away… of the elect being disheartened and deceived. That won’t happen if we, as Christians, are alert and active. We have a well-spring of strength and help available to us if we learn how to use it and take...

The Sabbath, according to what read in the Bible, is a test. It is a test, and it is a test every Saturday. The Sabbath pictures the Kingdom of God, and as we’re headed towards the Kingdom… God is now measuring us as individuals, as we keep this day.

Discernment

Given by Justin Adkins
January 18, 2025

As Christians, we need to be able to distinguish between words, deeds and appearances of things that are true and those that are false.
