During this holy day season we are consciously trying to root out all sin from our lives.  Like all brethren before us, this was an imperfectly performed task, and yet necessary for our spiritual growth.  Paul extolled the Church at Colossae to fill themselves with the truth of Christ as a method to displace the sin that so easily ensnares us all.  Paul’s message is as critical for us today as it was to the Colossians thousands of years ago, while the world around us collapses with ungodliness.

When we face what might seem to be impossible circumstances, we need to remember that God has a plan for us, individually and collectively. Do we trust in the promises that God has made to us?

We are pressed on all sides by Satan in his attempt to discourage and ultimately rob the promise of God.  But we are surrounded by the examples of our brethren, as outlined in the bible, to combat the Devil.  Living by those examples we can expect, like Job, to be protected by God.

The story of the Exodus fills the pages of the Bible, but prophecy reveals something more—an event which is yet to occur and one that will involve the modern nations of the House of Israel!

Why is the letter to the church in Philadelphia extremely important for us today? What is meant with the key of David; the open door; the hour of trial; the place of safety; the third horseman of the Apocalypse; and Satan’s wrath; and how are we to understand the prophesied expensive time and the reactions to the coronavirus which cause the financial ruin of many businesses and contribute to the complete destruction of our economy?

The Bible instructs us to always be ready to have an answer for the hope that is within us when people ask us about our beliefs. What are your reasons for continuing to hope for the future that God promises?

We are clear that none of us have seen the face of God the Father in this earthly existence. While only a very few were blessed to have walked with Jesus Christ during His time on earth, He was clear in His messages to mankind that those who believe, without having seen, are truly blessed. The bible is rich with the information that we can rely on to grow in our faith and understanding. In addition, all that God has created—each one of us, and the world around us also has God’s signature design. In this Sermonette we will explore the scriptures that bring this to light, and help us to see just how God created mankind to reflect His and His Son’s image, and His never-ending promise to those who believe and obey His commands.
