Prepare For Christ's Return

Given by Ray Harris
October 3, 2024

To help us prepare for the final trumpet, our resurrection to spirit life and Christ's return, we should think about three things - Beware of Disbelief, Prepare to Shine As Lights, and Have a True Vision of the Future. These three things are covered in more detail in this split-sermon so that we may better focus on the return of...

The Feast of Trumpets, A Wedding Like No Other

Given by Brent Martin
October 3, 2024

As we study the events surrounding the Feast of Trumpets and the return of Christ, there are a lot of topics that often draw our attention. However, there is one topic, the marriage of Christ to the Church, that doesn't always seem to get the attention it deserves. In this sermon, we will be looking at this wedding in greater...

A World Deceived

Given by Mark Whynaucht
September 28, 2024

What a gigantic job we will have in restoring the truth to a deceived world. Truly Satan the devil has deceived the whole inhabited earth. This season, as we enter into it, Trumpets, Atonement, Tabernacles, and the Last Great Day, pictures the beginning of re-education. How blessed we are of having the knowledge of God’s truth.

Pride is a sin that has plagued mankind since the Garden of Eden, yet even after thousands of years of struggling with this sin, it's not always easy to see. This sermon will dive deep in the topic of pride to help reveal some of the ways that it tries to deceive us, and how we can avoid it.

Serving at the Feast

Given by Ray Harris
September 21, 2024

God gives us His example of serving His people along with commands in scripture that we are to serve the brethren. We cover this along with various ways we may serve at the Feast. Our mindset must be where we will serve rather than if we will serve. Serving at the Feast portrays the time when Christ and the brethren...

Judgments of God

Given by Mark Whynaucht
September 14, 2024

There are several lessons of the Fall Holy Days, one of which are the judgments of God. They cover punishment, resurrection, reward, forgiveness of sin, reconciliation, and atonement. There are two periods of time that are included in God's judgment—the Millennium and the Last Great Day. These are periods of evaluation and growth. As we keep these Fall Holy...

Time, A View From God’s Perspective

Given by Mark Whynaucht
August 31, 2024

Time has been described as the passage of physical bodies through space. I think when we look at what the Bible has to say, which is a lot, it becomes a deeply spiritual subject. God views time differently than we do, and I believe our approach in life will change, as we grasp the way He looks at a time.

Where Will I Be When I Hear the News?

Given by Larry Lambert

Some of the most shocking news reports that we have heard in our lifetime were the breaking news reports surrounding the 9/11 terror attacks. Most adults can remember exactly where they were at when they heard the news that a plane had crashed into one of the twin towers in New York. There is another event that will occur in the...

Worship in Spirit and Truth

Given by Ray Harris
August 10, 2024

We can only be true worshippers of God if we worship Him in Spirit and Truth. This means we can only do this if we have God's Holy Spirit and keep His word, the Truth as written in the scriptures of the Bible. In this sermon, we examine this subject in some detail so that it is clear in our...

Walk Worthy of the Calling with Which You Were Called

Given by Mark Whynaucht
August 3, 2024

Do you remember what life was like before God called you? I know many of us went through experiences, which were different for each one of us. Maybe you went through various struggles, including emotional, relational, or spiritual challenges. Many of your decisions may have been influenced by societal expectations, cultural norms, or the opinions of others, rather than a...

Oh, That My People Would Listen to Me

Given by Mark Whynaucht
July 20, 2024

It is God's fervent desire that we really listen to Him—that we hear Him, by which He means that we would live His way of life. He compares listening to Him with walking in His ways. He wants the very best for us. We need to remember that. He wants to give us everything that He has, everything that...

Lessons of Pride

Given by Ray Harris
July 6, 2024

The original Pride Bringer is Satan, the father of it and many other destructive things. Mankind, being physical, is easily led astray by vanity and pride to our harm and harm to others around us. We're to take on humbleness and teachableness as God would have us to do, and one way to do that is the study the stories...

Pearls of Answered Prayer

Given by Mark Whynaucht
June 22, 2024

Rather than being disconnected, each one of these conditions that God places before us, are like a pearl of great price, and they're all strung together in a strand of pearls. So, we have something that holds them together, something that unifies each one of these pearls. How many pearls are on this strand? I don't know, but the string...
