How can we make sure that we will enter God’s rest, and what is it that we must avoid? Can we have God’s rest today? What connection is there between God’s eternal rest, the Feast of Tabernacles and the weekly Sabbath? Why was Israel prevented from entering the physical rest of the Promised Land, and what lessons are we to draw from that? Why is it significant for us that Abraham, Isaac and Jacob lived in tents? What does it mean to be pilgrims and sojourners on earth?
Sermons
Alignment
The Day of Atonement is an annual holy day that focuses on our reconciliation with God. It reminds us of how important it is to draw close to God, becoming more closely aligned with His will. How can we use the Day of Atonement as God intended it?
Give to the Future
Our offerings make it possible to give others an opportunity for salvation while helping to build and sustain the work of preaching the gospel of the Kingdom of God.
The Way of God
The Bible recounts the stories of men and women who have chosen to follow the way of God and of those who didn’t. My focus will be on those who chose life.
Attitude
How we handle our life experience is heavily influenced by our attitude. When we have a negative attitude, we can find flaws in ideal situations. But when we have a positive frame of mind, even the most difficult circumstances are powerless in their attempts to drag us down. What can we learn from the Bible that will help us to foster a positive attitude to see us through the events of our lives?
Our Resurrection to Life
The Feast of Trumpets points to the return of Jesus Christ and our resurrection to eternal life in the Kingdom of God. But will Christ return at a Feast of Trumpets? How will He come back? How and by whom will we be resurrected? And where does our resurrection take place? What will we look like then? Do we still have to appear before Christ’s judgment seat? And do we already have eternal life?
Sound the Alarm
There will be a warning sound the whole world will hear, unlike that has ever been heard before, a sound that will warn of terrible disasters that will occur on this earth. How can we be prepared and also spared from having to go through what is prophesied to happen?
Departing from God—Comments on News and Prophecy, September 9, 2023
In this program, we discuss astounding recent news which all signify a further departure from God: German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and President Joe Biden telling fairy tales; France at the brink of civil war; American nuclear bombs on European soil; NATO’s collapse; Corona restrictions and the “we will not comply movement”; stiff sentences against the Proud Boys because of “sedition”; funding of the US government is being threatened; the push for President Biden’s impeachment and the GOP reluctance; the Burning Man Festival; England’s Church priests support premarital sex and gay marriage; and gender change of children.
Isaiah 58 – A Chapter for Modern Times
Isaiah 58 is an interesting chapter that speaks about some of the things that Christians need to be doing in their lives. It also talks about things that a Christian should be careful not to do. How exactly does this chapter find relevance in our modern times, seeing that this book was written sometime in the early 700s BC?
Know the Lord
Many claim to “know the Lord,” but never study His life and how He dealt with life’s challenging situations; nor do they know what He was really like. This sermon looks at His attributes and characteristics.
