Questions about the authenticity and authority of the Bible have transcended generations, and the New Testament has fallen victim to these doubts just as has the Old Testament. History, documentation from the Bible and living a Christian life are all confirmations that the New Testament is indeed a part of the inspired Word of God!

Is the Word of God still relevant today? Have the commandments been done away with? These questions, and more, are addressed within.

The “Old Testament” sacrifices have deep symbolic meaning for us today. This sermon will discuss the first two of the five types of offerings–the burnt and grain offerings–and we will show their relevance for “New Testament” Christians.

Sacrifices were given long before Moses, as well as during the time of Jesus Christ and the early New Testament Church, and they will be given again just prior to Christ’s return, and during the Millennium. Why is that?

Twelve points on what the Spirit of God does for a converted Christian in the New testament age outlining both the benefits and  looking at the future reward for remaining faithful.

Who was Jesus Christ? What does the Bible say about His identity? Why is it important that you know and understand? Or, is it important? Does it make any difference? In order to learn who Jesus Christ was and who He is today, we must turn to the Biblical evidence. Human viewpoints, interpretations and explanations are of no help, if they contradict or if they are not supported by God’s Word, the Bible.

For the vast majority of people, what is indelibly a part of their professed Christianity is a mental image that is NOT Jesus Christ–but a humanly devised and Satanic counterfeit! However, the Bible actually does have much to say about the image of God, and it reveals what God allows us to understand about His appearance and the approach we should take in this matter.

Do we really need the ministry? What role and function, if any, does the ministry perform in God’s Church? Why is it critical that you know and understand?

Our national sins have come before God, and he will execute His judgment.  Prophecy both warns us and also identifies WHY our nation will face a future time of unimagined trials!  Considering the sins of ancient Israel and the warnings to the modern house of Israel will help us understand the times in which we are living as well as providing a real hope for the furure.
 

Orthodox Christianity is quick to condemn unrepentant sinners to an ever-burning hell fire, which will torture them for all eternity, without ever being able to die or to be freed from such pain and suffering. This concept of hell is a terrible deviation from the truth and denies God’s mercy and compassion. Those who understand the correct Biblical teaching on the subject of hell will not condemn someone to an everlasting punishment in hell fire. But could it be that they might be quick to condemn someone to a hell fire with everlasting and eternal consequences?

We know that the Feast of Unleavened Bread pictures coming out of sin and into a relationship with God–no longer separate and walled out of His presence! This important theme appears throughout the Bible, and there are other examples of walls that affect our association with God.

We all sin and fall short of the glory of God. But we can repent and ask for forgiveness, and because of Christ’s Sacrifice, we CAN be forgiven. When you see a brother or sister struggle with sin, you can and should pray to God that He would help him or her, and give him or her strength to overcome and to continue. However, what did John mean when he said that we should not pray for those who commit sin “leading to death”? What is this sin–and is there nothing we can do in such a case?

God has given man 6000 years to test his own way’s of living. So, how has man done so far? Human nature is inherently in all of us. But, what does it do? How do we aquire it? And most importantly, how do we get rid of it?

Do you perceive and comprehend the significance of the Feast Days of God? Do you understand why we are to observe this introductory season–the Passover and seven days of the Feast of Unleavened Bread?
