The Greatness, the God, the Guilt of America
Wally Winner E-mail Wally Joy Fellowship Church of God of the Abrahamic Faith 492 Bessie Road, Piedmont, SC
The United States of America is a country founded by Christians, for Christians, and on Christian principles - no matter what the text books tell you. But gradually the society and culture has been fighting to remove and ignore the foundations of our freedom and our government. In today's message, we remember that we're one nation under God, and if we forget, we'll be just another nation that's gone under.
Psalm 33:12-22; Lev. 25:10; Prov. 14:34; 2 Chron. 7:14; Jn. 8:32

We Remember, We Hope, We Wait
Michael Hoffman E-mail Michael Oregon Church of God 860 West Oregon Trail Road, Oregon, Illinois
Nobody likes to talk or even think about death, but what about the hope promised beyond death? There's lots of ideas about what happens, but there's also a lot of misinformation that isn't taught in the Scriptures. Does death equal an immediate reward? What about the resurrection? When will it be? How will it happen? Does the Bible clearly tell us what happens? Find out in today's message as we examine the hope for believers beyond the grave.

Keeping His Name Hallowed Alan Cain E-mail Alan Lawrenceville Church of God Springfield, Ohio
In the model prayer that Jesus gave, he began first by acknowledging his Father and reminding us to give God the respect that He deserves. Often though, we forget to honor our Heavenly Father when we pray and in our lives. In today's message, Pastor Cain reminds us that we exist for our Father in heaven, and shares how we can live to magnify and glorify Him and His name.

Israel in These Times C.E. Randall
Israel is God's covenant people in God's covenant land. The nation is the "apple of God's eye." Understanding Israel's place in the program, plan, and purpose of God also has great significance in the plan and purpose for each believer. In today's message, we examine Israel's place in history and its relationship to the nations today and what it has to do with the second coming of the Lord.

Israel and Her Future Kenneth Milne
Did you ever notice how Israel always seems to make the news? Why does this little nation get such big publicity? In the end, who will help her? Has God forgotten His promises? Has God forsaken His people? In today's message, we examine the end-time prophecies regarding the restoration of Israel and how they are connected with the return of Christ.

Choose Wally Winner E-mail Wally Joy Fellowship Church of God Piedmont, SC
In today's message, we examine Joshua's final address to the children of Israel and the four ingredients of a true decision for God. The leader of Israel challenged the nation to make a willing and decisive choice to serve Yahweh. In the same way, we are challenged by Christ to be men and women of fearless faith.

Can Israel Survive? Gordon Landry - 1978
Once again, Israel and the peace in the Middle East are back in the headlines. What's going to happen? Has God done away with Israel? Will God ever again have anything to do with this nation? Has God revoked his promises? What about the Arab and Jewish conflict? Can Israel survive? Pastor Landry reminds us what God has spoken through his prophets about this little nation in this relevant message from more than 30 years ago.

Read the Signs Michael Hoffman E-mail Michael Oregon Church of God Oregon, Illinois
As we watch world events and crises unfolding all around us, we begin to wonder whether we're living in the last days. We hear about the end of the world, but how do we know what to expect? Does the Bible tell us? Did Jesus reveal some of the circumstances and trends that would occur in the end-times? In today's message from the reply that Jesus gave his disciples on the Mount of Olives, we are encouraged to be alert, be aware, be prepared, and be ready as we see the signs of the times.
Matt. 24; 16:1-4; 2 Tim. 3:1-7,12-16; John 15:5; Luke 12:15

Hebrews 11 Series #13: The Discipline of God Terry Ferrell E-mail Terry Greenville Church of God, Greenville SC
Do you remember a time you did something wrong, and you were punished for it? You probably didn't like it. Looking back though, you realize it was for your own good. Sometimes our Heavenly Father corrects his children too. We may not always like it, but God knows what's best. In this concluding message from the Hebrews Chapter 11 series, Pastor Ferrell reminds us of the "great cloud of witnesses" and true faith. What have you learned? What is God teaching you about your faith?
Hebrews 12:5-11

The Open Bible Pulpit: Four to Go Chuck Jones E-mail Chuck Church of the Open Bible Pomona, California

One Son and No Other Michael Hoffman E-mail Michael Oregon Church of God Oregon, Illinois
Jesus is completely unique. His Father is the God of all creation. His mother was like us. And because His Father wants us to be His children too, he allowed in His eternal plan for His only begotten son to suffer and die for us. But without Jesus, there is no other way. There is no other plan. Will you accept the way that God has prepared for you?

Man's Foretold Predicament John Railton E-mail John Family Bible Church Granger, Indiana
You're either in the world, or you're in the Lord. And if you're not in the Lord, you won't be in the Kingdom of God. To be a part of the Kingdom of God, you have to change. But becoming a Christian isn't just getting rid of bad habits. It's building a relationship with Jesus and his Father. In today's message, we learn about the four changes that have to take place to be a part of God's kingdom.

Seeing is Believing Michael Hoffman E-mail Michael Oregon Church of God Oregon, Illinois
Sometimes we give the apostle Thomas a hard time. We call him "doubting Thomas" because he couldn't believe that Jesus was really resurrected unless he could see Christ for himself. But in the story, we find an important lesson for us. Sometimes it's okay to doubt. We can use our doubt to make certain of the truth. There's great power in belief. And it's up to each of us to carry on the work and mission of our risen Messiah.
John 20:19-29; 11:16; Hebrews 10:24,25; Jude 20-22
Sometimes we give the apostle Thomas a hard time. We call him "doubting Thomas" because he couldn't believe that Jesus was really resurrected unless he could see Christ for himself. But in the story, we find an important lesson for us. Sometimes it's okay to doubt. We can use our doubt to make certain of the truth. There's great power in belief. And it's up to each of us to carry on the work and mission of our risen Messiah.

Things that there is no law Against
Mark DeYoung E-mail Mark Blanchard Church of God Blanchard, Michigan
Tragic statistics reveal that we as a nation are a people who don't really know the full power of God. But as children of God, Jesus has promised us this power to live out the love he commands. As we examine each of the characteristics of the fruit of the Spirit, we must consider what we need to work on in our daily walk to live out our faith to the fullest.

Rockin' the World with the Restoration Revolution
Steve Taylor E-mail Steve Lakeshore Bible Church Tempe, Arizona
Take a look at the news headlines each day. Revolutions among the nations are happening around the world. But the biggest and best revolution is in God's plan to renew and restore this planet when his son returns. As we examine the manifesto of the world's greatest revolutionary, Jesus the Messiah, we see a pattern and an example for us. We're called to proclaim and demonstrate the good news. It's not enough just to share the gospel. We have to be the gospel. It's up to us to bring Kingdom wholeness to human brokenness as we await Kingdom fullness at the return of Christ.

If Jesus Were Dead Hollis Partlowe
The death and resurrection of Jesus are at the very heart of the gospel. All of the promises of God hinge on Christ's resurrection. But what if Jesus was still dead? What if he had never come out of the grave? What would that mean for our faith? What about our hope? What about his return? What about the New Testament? What about our sins? What about our intercession? But we know he was raised from the dead. He lives! Do you know what that means for you?

The Open Bible Pulpit: The Parable of the Vineyard Chuck Jones E-mail Chuck Church of the Open Bible Pomona, California
The leaders of Israel weren't ready to accept Jesus as their King. They rejected their "cornerstone." After seeing how the prophets of Israel had been treated throughout history, though, Jesus was expecting this kind of treatment. In the parable of the vineyard, we see how the story unfolds with God, the "vineyard owner," and his son that was going to be killed.
Mark 12:1-12; Romans 9:1-6,16,21; Romans 11

Your Kingdom Come Alan Cain E-mail Alan Lawrenceville Church of God Springfield, Ohio
Often, in the Lord's prayer, we miss the meaning in the words as we recite over it. When Jesus prayed, "your kingdom come," what exactly did he mean? Why was the kingdom so important? What exactly is the Kingdom of God? Where is it? Is the Kingdom some mystical, ethereal place where we float on a cloud and play a harp? As we examine the words of the prayer and look closer in the scripture, we find out this Kingdom of God was the main topic of the messages of Jesus Christ during his ministry. It was the good news he preached and sent his disciples to preach. And it's still good news today. Are you ready for the Kingdom of God? Are you praying for it to come?

Profile of a Faithful Mom Michael Brown E-mail Michael Glad Tidings Church of God Fonthill, Ontario, Canada
Imagine being a parent and knowing that your child would be killed. In Egypt, this was the case. It took much faith to face the times of tragedy and terror under the Pharaoh. When Moses wrote the book of Exodus, he gave an intriguing account of his birth mother and what he remembers about her. She and her husband went to great lengths to ensure the safety and survival of her son. They knew there was nothing they could do but trust God. And through their act of courage and faith, God would change the course of history.

Why it Matters Steve Taylor E-mail Steve Lakeshore Bible Church Tempe, Arizona

In today's message, Pastor Steve reminds us why Jesus was resurrected and what his resurrection has to do with ours.
