The Rise of Lawlessness

Given by Justin Adkins
August 23, 2025

Controversy and deception have always been part of the reality of life within and without the Church. As we approach the Fall Holy Days, portraying world events that lie directly ahead of us, before we get immersed in all of those events, I believe it’s good to stop and reflect on the lawlessness that Christ warned us about. Members of t...

Jesus Christ... Past, Present, Future

Given by Justin Adkins
August 16, 2025

Jesus Christ was the God of the Old Testament. This is a fundamental, foundational teaching of the Church of God. Understanding this allows us to see the continuity of thought and purpose throughout the entirety of the Bible. The Old Testament is not inferior to the New. One builds upon the other. It then reaches forward to the conclusion that...

Habakkuk and Faith

Given by Justin Adkins
August 9, 2025

It is through faith you can have peace of mind... confidence in God's righteous judgment and hope of resurrection! Faith that is built upon the firm foundation of trust and obedience toward the living God… faith that is built on a confident expectation that these events will come to pass. That is what God showed Habakkuk. That’s what He’s showing us to...

Hey Jude

Jude lived during a very difficult time in the church. We see where he warned them… he admonished them… he encouraged them to move forward. Although he was talking to the first century church, he’s talking to us today.

It's Time to Wake Up!

July 26, 2025

In just a few weeks, we keep the Feast of Trumpets, which pictures the time of the return of Jesus Christ. This year, more than ever, we should be excited for what that day pictures… but at the same time we need to have a sense of urgency about us. More than other, now is the time to be awake!

Honor toward parents is a fundamental principle of God’s way of thought. Respect and honor toward parents leads to more harmonious relationships within human families but most importantly, it is a way of thinking that will lead to harmony within the eternal family of God.

God's Promise of Healing

Given by Justin Adkins
July 12, 2025

We learn to trust God today through His promise of healing. God is faithful, and He will heal… but the ‘when’ and the ‘how’ are according to God’s will of our best interest. Do we have the faith in God to truly believe that, with every fiber of our being? Our eternity depends upon it.

True Freedom and Liberty

Given by Justin Adkins
July 5, 2025

We just celebrated our nation’s anniversary, but this year, more than any other in the past, our freedoms, our liberties are being eroded. We will see that true liberty isn’t freedom from God’s laws, but rather it is obedience to them. The Bible tells us that real freedom will prevail only when Jesus Christ… the One who truly paid the ultimat...

The Sins of Jeroboam

Given by Justin Adkins
June 28, 2025

God warns about the sins of Jeroboam repeatedly Bible. While our individual sins are bad enough, what set Jeroboam apart in God’s eyes was that he was given the opportunity to do right and to succeed, and he purposely chose to turn his back on what God was offering… and he influenced many others to do the same thing.

Developing Self-Control

Given by Justin Adkins
June 21, 2025

Trying to master our human nature with our human nature only works until we find ourselves up against a temptation we struggle to resist. We can’t always count on ourselves to have that kind of strength—because when it really matters, we’ll find ourselves coming up short. The alternative is God—because God is strong enough. We explore how to develop Godly self-co...

Given by Justin Adkins
June 14, 2025

Through wisdom, God structured and ordered the universe in a way that makes sense. When we embrace God’s words of wisdom, we can live a fulfilling life that also makes sense. He will ultimately reward those who embrace His words of wisdom and follow His lead.

God is Removing Protection

Given by Justin Adkins

God has set a hedge about the modern descendants of Israel. Through our disobedience, we're witnessing God's removal of that protection.

Pentecost, and the coming of the Holy Spirit, give us that guaranteed hope of our future.

Peace is a valuable aspect of the Holy Spirit that needs to be in place today.

The Power Endued From Above

Given by Justin Adkins
June 1, 2025

As the apostles waited on the Spirit to come on Pentecost so many years ago, they were unsure what to expect and what it would do. They had to learn how to use it and to respond to it. Today we have that same Spirit poured out on us. Let’s really appreciate it and use it as God intends.
