Beginning a new chapter in our lives is quite scary! How can we use the opportunities for growth to our best advantage, while also realizing that growth is a necessity for a Christian?

We Can Only Succeed Together
If we are baptized children of God with his holy spirit in us, we know that we need Him for everything in our lives. But what about our relationship with our brethren? This offertory is about our responsibility to be there for one another and to help each other. And it also handles our responsibility towards God. A topic that fits perfectly with the meaning of God’s holy day of the first day of the Feast of Tabernacles. This is the behavior that will be the standard in the soon-coming kingdom of God.
Glimpses of the Kingdom Now
God’s kingdom will come to this earth in order to rule over man and to bring peace, happiness and prosperity. This message gives a few examples of glimpses of the Kingdom that that have been seen in society today.
The Rule of Melchizedek
Who was Melchizedek who met Abram and blessed him and whom Abram gave the tithe of all? The identity of Melchizedek is a great mystery to most. But the Bible is actually very clear who He was—and is. Also, some passages which might be confusing at first sight can be easily explained when we consider the context, the entire picture and biblical phraseology. This message will also show why Melchizedek’s rule was a forerunner of Christ’s rule here on earth after His Second Coming.
Jesus Christ is Our Atonement
Events on the Day of Atonement foreshadow future occurrences while commemorating things already done. The atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ is the great lesson of this Holy Day, and true Christians observe this time just as God has commanded!
All In
Answering the call to become a Christian involves unwavering commitment. Going “all in” is an expression that indicates the complete dedication which is necessary to fully invest ourselves in following God. When we prepare our offerings, they should reflect the same level of commitment we are willing to make to obey God.
The Power and Might of God
Do we truly realise and understand the power and might of God? This sermon reviews a number of areas that we can read, but not fully grasp, and shows how magnificent our great God truly is.
A peculiar Treasure
God desires that we be different to the world by living His way of life. This makes us odd, different or strange to this world. But God considers us His peculiar treasure and prizes us greatly provided we please Him.
God’s Warning to the Nations (Feast of Trumpets 2024)
The Feast of Trumpets should remind us of God’s command for His end-time Church to warn the nations of the coming calamity and worldwide destruction that will occur shortly before Christ’s return. Most people will pay little attention to the warnings; some, perhaps many, will mock and scoff at them. This is to their own detriment! But you can be different and submit to God by heeding the sound of the war trumpet from God’s watchmen and turning away from modern godless Babylon.
Snakes
When the Israelites complained, God dealt with them time and again. In one instance, He sent snakes in to deal with their complaining. What can we learn from this situation?
