Faithfully keeping the commandments and the Sabbath, including the annual Sabbaths, helps to cement our relationship with God and to stay engaged in the completion of the Work we have to do prior to the tribulation and return of Jesus Christ.

A Few Random Thoughts on the Stupidity of Evolution
It is a worthwhile exercise from time to time to review this theory which many just accept without much thought at all. The Bible states that God spoke and it was done – that is something that only a supernatural being could achieve, not mere mortal men – and even less by blind chance!
What the Bible Says About the Beast
The “beast” is described in a variety of ways in the Bible. It can refer to the past and future military power, to the end-time leader, and to the past and future religious power and its representative. How is the coming end-time leader described and what are his character traits? What are the little horns in Daniel 7 and 8, the mark and image of the beast, his mortal wound and his number; and what are the 10 horns? Is their meaning always the same?
Going on to Perfection
We normally think of perfection as being without any flaws, and with no sin whatsoever. However, the Greek word translated perfection can also mean finalising a requirement or task or completing an assignment. In other words, fulfilling what God requires of us in being a part of His Church. Each member may have a different assignment but we must all carry these out to be pleasing to God.
Living Goals
Are your goals active and functioning, or have your dreams and aspirations faded away—remaining unfulfilled? How does that apply to your goals as a Christian?
Indomitable
Having an indomitable spirit means not allowing anything to take away our hope and determination. When faced with problems, rather than allow us to be overcome, we can choose to respond with courage and trust in God’s power to see us through. The story of David and Goliath exemplifies this attitude, as David defeats Goliath by relying on his faith in God. Likewise, Jesus Christ, even facing the threat of immense suffering, encourages us to remain hopeful and undeterred, knowing that overcoming the world is possible through faith.
Lessons From the Unjust Steward
In the parable of the unjust steward, Jesus Christ describes a relationship between a rich man and his steward, in which tension arises because of the steward’s behavior. How did the steward resolve the situation? What can we learn from this parable that we should apply in our own lives today?
That Is Not Jesus!
Images made to represent Jesus are false, but almost everyone accepts them. How can true Christians purge the fake and deceptive images of Christ from their minds?
Against the World
Jesus Christ our Saviour was perfect and sinless and yet He was accused of being a drunkard, a blasphemer, a deceiver, charged with treason, breaking the Sabbath, and a friend of sinners. He was hated for what He believed and many were offended by His teachings, which still holds true today. Those who truly follow Him and DO what He commands are also hated for His name’s sake. To be considered His friends, He tells us exactly how we are to worship Him and how we are not.
Your Confidence
This sermonette explores the transformative power of confidence, both from personal experiences and a biblical perspective. It emphasizes that true, enduring confidence comes from faith in God, aligning with His will, and trusting His plans, especially during trials and challenges.
