Strangers and Pilgrims

Which sort of leads into what I wanted to cover in terms of the sermon today. Because back in Hebrews chapter 11, Hebrews chapter 11 in verse 13 we read of individuals who have been recounted here in Hebrews 11, Abel and Enoch and Noah and Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, and were told in verse 13 Hebre ...

Stress and Prophecy

So I guess we'll go on into the sermon. The message that I have, hopefully is a hopeful message, hopefully you won't feel that it's corrective necessarily or discouraging, depressing. I certainly am going to try to get more of a necessary balance to give what might be inspirational and hopeful ...

Study God's Word

I would like to read to you a statement from one of our booklets, "more than 7 million copies sold last year", obviously referring to the Bible. 40 different companies print this book and the total number of hundreds of millions of copies printed and distributed is impossible to estimate. It has now ...

Success Based On God's Law

Now God's law and government was the basis of God's character. His character is merely God's law in action; but it must be chosen voluntarily, and activated voluntarily, by the one who has it - or he couldn't become God. God Himself WILLS and has made the decision to have that kind of love i ...

Surrender Unconditionally To God's Government

Good morning to all of you. Some of our people are staying in the Windsor side on the Windsor side of the Detroit River, and found out that some of the Canadian officials know a little bit about the Bible. One of our members was stopped and asked, "What is your citizenship?" He said, "I'm a citize ...

Sweeten Your Marriage with God's Holy Spirit

Speaking of bears, I hope you haven't run across any. I hear they are around here. That may be a warning to some of you who might make fun of my bald head and Mr. Reedy and so forth. There's a few chapters in the Bible that, if you hurt the victim, you might not want to make fun of us. It certai ...

Teachers and Teaching

Teaching should begin in the cradle. You, who are parents, should begin teaching your children in the first months of their lives. And I said teaching, not just correcting. Too often parents say, don't and mustn't, daddy and mummy spank, and we threaten and that's all negative. But we don't ...

Temptation

Do you remember brethren when you first came in to the Church? I don't know how long ago that is for any of you, I'm sure it's different for every one of us, but think back a little bit to just what it was like when you first came in to God's Church. And you remember hearing all about God wo ...

Thanksgiving

Several years ago when my wife and family and I were living in Missouri, saw a sign up in a store about the time of Thanksgiving that really struck me as being, I never seen a particular sign like this, but I think that the individual that put it up summed up quite a bit of the attitude and the feel ...

The 1st Commandment

Of course learned a great deal about the character and the nature of God, we're told for instance back in the book of I John chapter 4 and verse 8 (I John 4:8) that God is love, we learned also in I John 5:3 that this is the love of God that we keep His commandments, we learned that love is the fu ...

The 2nd Commandment

We as a nation in the United States like to pride ourselves on being a religious nation. Churches dot the landscape, various pictures whether the old Norman Rockwell type Americana pictures, various churches dot the landscape. In fact, it's always been interesting to me, particularly in the areas ...

The 4th Commandment

You know brethren one of the most obvious things that sets God's Church apart from others is our observance of the Sabbath day. As it is certainly something that makes us stand apart, Peter tells us that we're to be a peculiar people, the world thinks we're peculiar for sure, because of all th ...

The 5th Commandment

We've seen a drastic change in regard to standards and values held by the majority of people, peculiarity in the area of morals, social conduct, family structure, beginning all the way back in a time shortly in the aftermath of World War I. We have seen a drastic change in what has been accepted m ...

The 6th Commandment

History has generally been the study of war and conquests, empires rising and falling, armies marching across the pages of history, rulers who come and go, revolutions, the cues. These are the things of which history is made. That's generally what you read about if you read about who went to war w ...

The 7th Commandment

Do you realize brethren that we in the United States lead the world in divorce, we have the highest divorce rate in the world? 40 percent of all American marriages will end in divorce, 40 percent, an incredible statistic. Now, consider that out of those 40 percent that end in divorce, 80 percent of ...
