The Sabbath

I find that some of us have, as I had for years, had old fashioned ideas about the Sabbath and it came as the old idea about make-up did from misunderstanding passages of scriptures which we can understand better now because of more thorough study and research into them, I want to turn back and read ...

The Sabbath Question

The nation is in the doldrums. The world is in the doldrums, and in violence, and trouble. This nation is now in a recession. There's no question about it. I see even the government in the White House has finally admitted it this week, and there may be worse times coming. Now God has been holding ...

The Sacrifice of Our Passover

Brethren, we are very close to the Passover, we're less than a week away and it is appropriate at this time of year we begin to focus our attention on different aspects relating to the Spring Festivals. Now the last time I was with you I focused more on the subject of unleavening and what God woul ...

The Seven Eras of the Old Testament Church

The Feast of Pentecost is a day that very specifically focuses on our uniqueness as a group, as a church. It pictures the reason and the purpose of our calling as well as picturing the time period that is the duration of our calling. I think there are a number of aspects concerning the Feast of Pent ...

The Spirit In Man

Well, this is a Feast of Tabernacles crowd! I'm glad to see all of you, and very happy that I can be here. First I want to just bring you up very, very briefly on the progress of the Work. For the last three years, we've been striving to get God's Church back on the track. I'm sure you all k ...

The Spirit In Man

I thought about this sermon for quite some time, it's one of the sermons to me that's fascinating, at least the subject is, and yet it's difficult to be understood and yet it's simple. That sounds ambiguous, I know, sounds paradoxical but it really is simple, and yet it's profound and very ...

The Spirit Realm

Well good afternoon to everyone, well I guess it's morning, get my time here, that was certainly a beautiful song, and I know we all appreciated it. One thing I wanted to mention before starting the sermon is to again ask all of you to pray for the peace and the safety that we have here at the Fea ...

The Ten Commandments of Child Rearing

Some time ago I think I gave you a Sermon with some of the background on the subject of child rearing and I don't want to repeat myself, although it is quite likely. For some reason we do that. However if I do, it will be incidental to the main subject. Today I want to speak to you concerning the ...

The Throne of David

One of the most remarkable proofs of God and of the accuracy of the Bible is the proof of fulfilled prophecy. The various prophecies that we can look at in context of things that God has said, prophecies that have come to pass, things that have already happened, things that are in the process of bei ...

The Trunk of the Tree

For the last, especially, the last three or four years, the Head of this Church, Jesus Christ, has been getting His Church back on track. We were getting off the track. The Church was getting off the track in the United States. Liberalism was coming in. It's not so long ago that I found the same t ...

The Truth

Mr. Ralph Scarborough was a free man and because he was a free man, he had peace. All of us have been called to freedom and peace as well. We can and we must be free people. That is a very important aspect of our precious calling that God has given to all of us. How are we made free? Let's turn to ...

The Two Major Prophecies of the Bible

President Giscard d'Estaing of France made the statement; "we don't seem to know where we are headed, but we sense" he said; "if we knew it is catastrophe". Now that's quite a statement for a man who is the President of France to make and many people now realize that there has never been a tim ...

The Universe Our Inheritance?

Greetings brethren at Feast sites all around the world. Once again I am speaking to you from my own television studio in Pasadena, as I did on the opening night of this Festival. We come now to the last, the very last service of this whole Festival of this year. Since last year brethren, my eyesight ...

The Unthinkable Will Happen

Well brethren I guess it's still the same old thing, there is both good news and bad news. And there's some wonderfully good news clear beyond human comprehension coming. But there is some bad news, still completely beyond comprehension, that is coming first. And God has told us to prepare for i ...

The Value of Human Life

"What is the only real value of a human life?" The only real value. Now, when you stop to think about it, there can be no more important subject than that. What is the only real value of any human life? And a discussion came, and I want to speak on that subject this afternoon because there is no sub ...
