Passover is a very important ceremony in Christian life. It began in Egypt as Israel was brought out of it by God. But it took on new meaning and significance when Jesus Christ instituted new symbols for the Passover on His last Passover on Earth. We look at six different aspects or stepping stones to Passover to help us prepare for that important evening.

This sermon reviews the roles of being a pastor as God outlines in the Bible. 

Genesis 3 tells the story of Adam and Eve’s sin, and the consequences of that sin. But it also contains the very first prophecy in the Bible, which is the foundation for all prophecies. In this message, we delve into that prophecy found in Genesis 3:15.

Christmas is supposed to be all about Jesus Christ, but is it really? Would Jesus keep it? Does He want us to keep Christmas? In this message, we will go through some of the historical background to Christmas and discuss scriptures that show us that we should not bring pagan traditions into Christianity.

What is Salvation? When is God offering it? Who is God offering it to? What is the place of the First Fruits, the Feast of Tabernacles, the 8th Day Holy Day, the Millennium, and the 2nd Resurrection in God’s plan of Salvation? These and other topics related to salvation are discussed in this message.

Satan has continually tried to cause God’s Master plan for salvation for humanity to Fail. In this message we examine some of the verses behind the Day of Atonement, and then progress into various locations in scripture where Satan and his demons attempted to disrupt God’s holy plan.

The Feast of Trumpets begins the fall holy day season which pictures the final events in God’s plan as given to us in scripture. We will review the meanings of the holy days along with fulfillments of the Feast of Trumpet in the future.

The Feast of Tabernacles is coming upon us shortly. It is good to review the reasons why we keep the Feast. The sermon also presents four “dares” concerning the Feast to help us have a more profitable Feast.

The fruit of the Holy Spirit represents many of the characteristics of God the Father and Jesus Christ. We are to manifest these fruit and grow in them. This message looks into the topic of Faithfulness, how to grow in it, and what can deter us from being faithful.

Humanity has forever been on a quest for utopia and a better life. That is exactly what God wants to give to us through His calling and purpose for us.

Life is not always easy, nor does God promise that this life will be easy. But God does make various promises to help us through the difficulties in life. This message discusses several of them.

In this first chapter of Romans, God continues to teach us about the perils of departing from Him.  Leaving His truth behind, we become evil creatures, prone to the "works of the flesh," the vices we see so extant in the world around us.   

God desires that we grow in the fruit of the Holy Spirit. Gentleness is the next-to-last fruit mentioned in Paul’s list in Galatians 5:22-23. Gentleness isn’t a trait that is looked up to in this world because it is often perceived as weakness, but it is really the characteristic of strength in control. In this message, we discuss this important fruit that God wants us to produce in abundance.

In the Bible, there are various characteristics or traits that God lets us know He desires in us. Three of those are found in Micah 6:8, to do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with the Lord. In this message we look into those three characteristics which will be very important in being Kings and Priests in the Kingdom of God.

Romans chapter 1 is a foundational chapter for Paul's letter.  In it, he discusses several Christian concepts which the world's Christianity has redefined, leading people away from the truth that is the Bible.  We delve into each of these to remind ourselves of our calling and what God has provided for us, and what He expects of us.  

The truth is what differentiates the true Church of God and its false counterparts. Much of that truth comes in the form of the Church’s doctrines, which are based upon the Bible. These often set us apart from other churches. Learn why doctrine is so important, where doctrine comes from, and how the United Church of God determines and sets doctrine within the church.

"Grace" from the Greek word "charis" is used in the book of Romans more times than any other book in the Bible.  So, in this Bible study, we look at 'grace" only from the lens of the Bible to more fully understand what the Bible says.  "Grace" for true Christians has a deep meaning that is not understood or taught by the world today.  Perhaps many of us need a reminder of the value of this gift from God.

From there, we continue on in part 2 of our review of Romans 1.

The book of Romans contains many of the foundational doctrines of God's Church, and His way of life.  As we begin this verse by verse study of Romans, we first look at the timing and context of the book and "meet" some of the members of the church in Rome, which was comprised of Jews and Gentiles.  As we begin chapter 1, we encounter terms and concepts that we realize the world's religions have "perverted" and minimized, so we will spend some time recounting and reminding ourselves of the true Biblical concepts we find as this book begins.  Zoom audience questions are included, as this is a live Bible study presented to a widespread Zoom audience.
