What About the Secret Rapture? – Part 1
Norbert Link | August 27, 2011
Will Christ’s disciples be raptured and taken to the third heaven? How is Christ’s Second Coming described? Will He return secretly or visibly? Will He return twice? Where and how did the idea of a secret rapture originate? Does the Bible teach it, and did the early New Testament Church believe in it?
Judge Not That You Be Not Judged
Michael Link | August 27, 2011
Do our actions reflect the way we should live, by being good examples? We are constantly being judged by others and especially God to see if we live a righteous life. At the same time we shouldn’t judge others, but first consider that what we are doing is right.
Forgotten
Dave Harris | August 20, 2011
How we view others-and by extension, even ourselves–along with
staying faithful to the wondrous calling of God has to do with how we handle the
things we know. There are things that should be forgotten and those that should
never be forgotten!
Empathy
Eric Rank | August 20, 2011
Brotherly love requires transforming our thoughts to not only include the lives of others, but also to build understanding through the lives of others. The Body of Christ, the Church, is composed of many individual members, each serving a purpose and each deeply linked to one another. As such, the life of a Christian requires working together with empathy and consideration for others and the Body as a whole.
Listen
Joe Bourque | August 13, 2011
To relay the importance of really listening to God’s instruction and law for our
safety and salvation.
To also be there for each other in times of need and truly listen to be

Its about selflessness, to care about God’s law, to learn not just enough
to get safety and salvation, but to be useful to Him and each other.
Biblical Lost and Found

How to Recognize Sin
Norbert Link | August 6, 2011
What is sin? How does sin start? Does sin have to be intentional? Can one sin in ignorance? Where can sin lead to? Why are hate and ill will so dangerous? How does one sin deliberately, presumptuously, maliciously or willfully? What is the unpardonable sin? Isn’t it God’s Will to forgive everybody?
God of the Old Testament
Kalon Mitchell | July 30, 2011
Can we prove from the Old Testament that there are two God beings that are in the Family of God, by only using the Old Testament? Also, who was the God of the Old Testament that spoke to Israel, that created the earth, that came to this earth as a human being to die for man kind so that they could partake in the soon coming Kingdom of God?
Beware of Compromise
Norbert Link | July 23, 2011
Even though career politicians are striving on and living for compromise, a true Christian must never compromise any of his religious convictions, as based on the Bible. So how are we to avoid compromise? The short answer is, we must strongly believe and act upon God’s commandments. For the longer answer and a detailed discussion, please listen to this sermon.
Rebellion
Robb Harris | July 16, 2011
| Length: 56min
The world is in direct rebellion to God because of an unacceptance of His Laws. We must be willing to give up the comfort and pleasures of Satan’s lifestyle in order to truly please God. If we do, the crown laid up for us will be attainable.
Confidence in the Bible?
Norbert Link | July 9, 2011
Is the Old Testament part of God’s inspired, timeless and preserved Word of God? Who was commissioned with the preservation of the Old Testament Scriptures? Can we prove from the Old Testament that Jesus is the Christ; and how to obtain salvation and entrance in the Kingdom of God? Who canonized the New Testament Scriptures? Do we have God’s promise that the New Testament Scriptures would also be preserved for all times?
Prophets
Dave Harris | July 2, 2011
What is a prophet and who can rightly claim this title? Is
knowing the future the only reason for prophecy, or do prophets hold a solemn
responsibility to speak what God reveals in order to turn people to obedience to
God? Can you distinguish between true and false prophets?
Out of Our Shell
Eric Rank | July 2, 2011
In order to grow, we must be willing to first become vulnerable so that we are
capable of learning and changing. A soft heart is the only kind that can grow.
Our constant work in overcoming the ways of this world requires becoming
vulnerable over, and over again.
Paul’s Letter to the Philippians – Part 8
Norbert Link | June 25, 2011
In this final installment, we discuss how Paul learned to be content and self-sufficient, and to be full and hungry. We will also see how our gifts abound to our account; and why God views our gifts to others as acceptable sweet-smelling sacrifices.
Standards
Eric Rank | June 18, 2011
God provides us a standard in the Law, by which he judges our righteousness. Since we all fall short of perfection, we must rely on the sacrifice of Jesus Christ for our justification. Therefore, it is His example that we must follow, using the life of Jesus Christ as the standard we live by.
For We Are Firstfruits
Michael Link | June 12, 2011
We have a specific calling at this time, a gift from God, and a responsibility that we must uphold so we can make it to the Kingdom, for we are firstfruits.
The Power of God
Dave Harris | June 12, 2011
There are examples for us found in the written Word of God that attest to and proclaim the infinite power of God. Understanding and believing in the power of God is an absolutely crucial key for those who seek to obey the true gospel of God!
The Mystery of Understanding
Norbert Link | June 12, 2011
Why is it that you can understand what millions of people cannot comprehend today? Why is it that you came to repentance and faith and a desire to obey God? Do you realize that you have been specifically called and chosen by God to become part of His firstfruits in this day and age? And do you also recognize the tremendous responsibility which accompanies your calling?
A Light in Darkness
Robb Harris | June 12, 2011
Our example and they way in which we shine our light to the world is an important tool usable by God. But it takes an effort on our part to keep our light shining brightly in a world ruled by darkness.
Paul’s Letter to the Philippians – Part 7
Norbert Link | June 4, 2011
In the first seven verses of chapter 4, Paul tells us that we must stand fast in God and resolve our differences with one another. He also shows us how we can have peace of mind in times of trials.
