The Purpose of Faith

Well good morning to everyone. Just as we were leaving the house this morning, we have a cat and his name is Toby and I'm going to talk to you today about Toby the cat. And he was a cat that we inherited, he was a wildcat, of course he was a kitten initially and a, that happens. And so Toby as we ...

The Real Meaning of the Feast of Tabernacles

Good afternoon Brethren, certainly good to be here again at the Feast of Tabernacles in the Lake of the Ozark. I had the privilege of being here, I think it was 2 years ago, and at that time I got to speak at the Dells and finally in Big Sandy that same year, so certainly a privilege to be here once ...

The Real Purpose of the Church

I would like to ask this afternoon and also to answer: why the church? Why should there be the church? There are churches all over the Western world. They're attended every Sunday by a good section of the population. Do most people realize why there should be a church, or do they just take it for ...

The Sabbath

I find some of us have, as I had for years, had old-fashioned ideas about the Sabbath. And it came, as the old idea about makeup 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 I ...

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 Pen ...

The Shepherd

I thought I would go through, this as it was given to me by a Deaconess in, well I have two, but one book was given to me by Miss. Reynolds, and another little paper here that I had forgotten I had, was given to me by Deaconess in the Houston Church. And it has to do with the shepherd's view of th ...

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 In Man - Part 1

While you were at the Feast of Tabernacles, you probably came back with certain strong impressions. And one of the things that really stuck in my mind, I think, was a comment made by Mr. Roy Halliday during the course of the sermon that he was giving. He was talking about a comment Mr. Armstrong had ...

The Spirit In Man - Part 2

This is a very important subject, and I want to go on with this and make sure that we really begin to get the grasp of it because this subject that we started last week, the spirit and man, is incredibly important. And frankly, I don't think most of us understand how important that understanding r ...

The Spirit In Man - Part 3

As you probably remember, before we had the tapes of the last couple of weeks, we were into a series about the spirit in man. And I made it about, well, I hope I made it about halfway through that series. I don't know; that remains to be seen, but at least we got two parts of that series about the ...

The Spirit In Man - Part 4

As you can well imagine, we're not breaking the train in our series of sermons here on the spirited man. We are getting very close to the point where we can wrap it up, but there are two more important areas that we need to understand more fully. I don't think there's a great need to review al ...

The Spirit In Man - Part 5

As some of you know, I think most, uh, at least those who were here last week, realized that we did not conclude the message on the spirit of man last week. I wanted to wait until those who were out of town could come back because of the, by popular demand, we've come back with the, what I hope is ...
