Jesus answered him, "The first of all the commandments is: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. 'And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.' This is the first commandment. "And the second, like it, is this: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these." (Mark 12:29-31; Deuteronomy 6:4-5; Leviticus 19:18)

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. (2 Tim 3:16, 17)

The Third Commandment   Newly Updated
The third commandment condemns misusing our heavenly Father's name but misusing His name has become common practice. There is a lot more to this commandment than not swearing. This sermon describes how today's society routinely breaks this commandment.

Holy Days  and Holidays

The Day of Atonement   Newly Updated
What is the meaning and purpose of the Day of Atonement; in Hebrew, it's Yom Kippur? It is specified in both the Old and New Testaments. There’s much more to it than just fasting.

Predestination  New

There are numerous examples in the Bible of God knowing people before they were born. God knows the end from the beginning but does that mean we have no choice in the matter? Are we just robots or is our Creator endowed with abilities transcending time?

 Life and Death

The ancient shofar announced the coronation of the new king as well as the appointed times of God. The first day of the seventh month is both a new moon day as well as one of God's great Holy Days. Does it mean more for God's people today?

Prophecy

Paul stressed grace but James, John, Peter and even Paul taught the fundamentals of works. Were these concepts in conflict? How can such apparent contradiction be reconciled? Learn how one forms the basis for the expansion of the other.

History

Previously, we looked into Righteousness by Works. Now look at righteousness from the perspective of righteousness by faith or righteousness by trust. I think trust might be a more appropriate and meaningful term.

How To Keep God By Our Side   New

Is God near us or far from us? How do we keep God by our side? This sermon will tell us how to be sure God will always be there to help. It isn’t anything complicated. It’s done with common decency and the desire to please Him and the people we associate with.

The Days of Awe   Newly Updated  

The Days of Awe, Yamin Noraim in Hebrew, are the ten days between Trumpets, also known as Rosh HaShanah or Yom Teruah, and Yom Kippur or the Day of Atonement. But there is much, much more to their significance.

Preparing for Trumpets   Newly Updated

According to the lunar calendar, August 1st is the first day of Elul, the sixth month on the Jewish calendar. Elul 1 marks the beginning of a month of personal preparation for the Feast of Trumpets which falls one lunar month later on August 31st. This sermon explains why and how we must prepare.

This article explains why most observant Jews will be celebrating God's annual Holy Days one month late in 2008. There is a difference between the rules of the Jewish calendar and the clear signs in the heavens given to us by God to point to the correct days for God's appointed times.

Where Are We In God's Master Plan? (Part Two)  Newly Updated

This is Part 2. It's hard to see how fast paced world events fit into the outline of Biblical prophecy. What does God have to say about the Muslim terrorist threat, the Chinese and Russians, or the 200 million man invasion of Israel? This sermon ties these events together via Biblical prophecy.

 

In 2007, there is a difference. In 2008, there will be a big difference... again. There have been many questions among the Churches of God regarding what calendar God wants us to use. Is it the Jewish calendar or the Roman calendar or some other calendar? This booklet examines the question, "Does it matter which calendar you use?"

Here is a copy of the 2008 Holy Day calendar based upon the clear signs in the heavens provided by God.
