To understand that there are some things that all through our lives are necessary to happen, so we can grow and mature spiritually, and get closer to God.
Unfortunately many within the Church of God have been taught or believe that praying must follow exactly what the Model Prayer in Matthew 6:9-13 records. What we will examine during this message is what is it that God truly desires from us in prayer with Him?
Abraham shows each one of us a model we can emulate of the structure of faithful obedience to God and how we must walk in faithful obedience to God throughout the years of our lives, through testing and trials that will complete our faith.
Idolatry has been around as long as man has. We’ll take a closer look at what idolatry is, and see that there is much more to this sin than meets the eye, and how it applies directly to us today.
In many ways, the Church is like an orchestra. An orchestra is comprised of many different musicians, all playing their own individual parts with musical skill and all following the direction of the conductor. The Church is comprised of many people called out by our Heavenly Father, all performing and refining their own individual roles and responsibilities that our Heavenly Father has given them and all following the direction and example of our Savior, Jesus the Anointed One.
“The earliest Hallowe’en celebrations [in Britain] were held by the Druids in honor of Samhain, (31 Oct) — *Irish Gaelic for “summer’s end.” It’s interesting to note in the study of human culture that the culture of every tribe, nation, state, or religion in human history has developed and established various days for worship and celebration. Let’s again analyze this holiday from a perspective we may not have given much thought about. Is it from God, and/or should it be observed? Is it just a fun holiday for the kiddies? You might be surprised what Halloween really is.
Can we be godly and Holy? We need to be godly and Holy now. We need to pursue godliness and holiness now.
“Christianity” has not been able to satisfactorily answer some very basic difficult questions in regards to what is planned for mankind. God’s Word clearly does however, and we will discuss why this day, the Last Great Day is the focal point of our Father and His Son’s plan for all mankind.
We observe the feast of tabernacles according to the commands that were given in the scriptures to the ancient Israelites in Leviticus 23. This is why we are told to learn to fear God always and is a main reason that we keep the feast. We recognize that the proper fear and respect for God and his laws produces abundance and happiness and everlasting joy.
