When Jesus spoke about His return, He specifically pointed to the days of Noah as a comparison. What was happening in Noah's day, and what should we understand about the times leading up to Christ's return? As we examine Matthew 24 and return to the account in Genesis, we'll consider the importance of watching world events, understanding Scripture in context, and recognizing how Satan's influence has shaped mankind from the very beginning.

What does it mean to receive grace upon grace from God? Grace is favor we do not deserve, yet God's willingness to extend that favor does not remove our responsibility to grow and overcome. Scripture connects grace with humility, repentance, truth, and righteousness. Understanding that connection helps us see why we must look honestly at ourselves, put away self-deception, and seek God's favor as we prepare for what lies ahead.

Have you ever wondered what happens to those who lived and died without ever truly understanding God’s plan? What about our relatives, friends, and even children who never had an opportunity to know Him? The Eighth Day reveals a beautiful and encouraging answer. Through the Great White Throne Judgment, God will provide an opportunity for life, understanding, and salvation, offering hope for a future filled with peace, love, and joyful reunions.

How long are we willing to wait for God's promises? It is easy to remain enthusiastic when we see progress, but what happens when years pass and we still haven't reached the goal? The Bible gives us many examples of people who faced that very challenge. Abraham, Noah, Joseph, and others learned to trust God through long periods of waiting. Their examples teach us that genuine faith requires patience, perseverance, and a willingness to keep moving forward without giving up.

Preparation takes time. Throughout the Bible, God tested and refined those He intended to use for His purposes. The rebuilding described in Haggai, Zechariah, and Ezekiel points to a future work that has yet to be fulfilled. But what role does God's people have in that work? And more importantly, what must we be doing now to prepare ourselves? Our calling involves more than preparing a place; it involves becoming spiritually ready for what lies ahead.
Darryl Henson - October 28, 2026 - FOT26 - Choosing God's Way -
There are times when following God requires difficult choices. We may have to choose between personal desires and God's purpose, between what is comfortable and what is right, or between protecting our own interests and remaining faithful to His Word. These decisions can come with real sacrifices, but they also reveal where our priorities lie. As we look at the events that led to the work God began near Zion, we see how He used a series of tests to prepare the way.
Darryl Henson - October 27, 2026 - FOT26 - Seeing God's Hand In Our Lives -
Have you ever looked back over your life and wondered how you arrived at where you are today? Sometimes, when we look back, we begin to recognize events and circumstances that seemed unrelated at the time but may have been part of God's preparation and direction. Understanding how God has worked with us can strengthen our faith and give us a deeper sense of purpose. But recognizing His hand in our lives also brings responsibility. We must continue to grow, overcome, and prepare for what He has promised to do.

What happens when God’s people lose sight of Him and begin placing their confidence in human leadership? History shows that even a work founded on sound teaching can decline when its focus shifts away from God. But the decline is not the end of the story. In Ezekiel 17, we explore how God describes the failure of one work and the promise of something new—a work that will grow into a mighty tree and ultimately bring blessings to many.

Why are we here for the Feast of Tabernacles? Is it simply to keep the days, enjoy fellowship, and celebrate together, or does God have a greater purpose for us? The Feast pictures the coming Kingdom of God, and it reminds us that we have a responsibility to prepare spiritually for what lies ahead. Through the examples of Israel, the early church, and the prophecies of the last days, we can better understand why God has called us and what He expects us to do.

How can we make this year’s Feast of Tabernacles the best one ever? It begins with more than our plans and physical preparations. We need to prepare our hearts and minds to focus on worshiping God. By putting aside pride, controlling our desires, and learning to love and serve one another, we can make the Feast a time of genuine spiritual growth and joy.

Helping “Prepare the Bride” for Christ is our first and overall quest. He is ready for the marriage, we are not. We need to do all we can to give our hearts entirely to Him and be as much like Him…
We are entreated to think as He thinks (let this mind be in you...), walk as He walks, to live by every word of God. The reason we, Worldwide Church of God, were all spewed out was lack of heart—lukewarmness. The zeal and “doing everything with our might” was missing. It was not primarily doctrine, apart from the Tkach debacle, but attitude that put us where we are today scattered, confused, frustrated. Or on the other hand, blissfully unaware that anything is wrong “in our group.”
It is the aim of A Congregation of God to look first at ourselves and fix our own attitudes and conduct. If we can be a light to others, well and good. If by sermons we post, we can help others along their spiritual road to the Kingdom of God, so much the better.
Under WCG, many were called, and now a few are being selected to finish the end-time work of God and round out the 144,000 selected as the bride. Herbert Armstrong fulfilled Mat. 28:19-20—calling many disciples.
The two witnesses and the remnant soon to be gathered (read Haggai and Zech 1-4, Rev. 11) will fulfill
Mat. 24:14. That is, preach the gospel around the world and then the end shall come. It will come 3 1⁄2 days after the two witnesses are killed in the streets of Jerusalem at the end of the 1260 day great tribulation.
Even the two final witnesses are told not to go to the world at first, but to the church. Compare Rev. 11:1-2 and Zech. 4. God's concern NOW is all of us repenting of Laodiceanism. Herbert Armstrong told the ministry just before his death that “my job is finished (preaching to the world), now get the church ready.” Once the church is prepared, power will be given to go to the world (Rev. 11:3-4)
A Congregation of God moved our headquarters to a low population area near the Southern Utah/Northern Arizona border in 2001 to buy land and provide a place for like-minded people to gather and live together in godly harmony in order that “iron might sharpen iron” and enhance our spiritual development.
Unfortunately, the works of the flesh fight against the fruit of the Spirit and we had a rebellion that was generated via false accusations against the pastor, a rent strike and a lawsuit that asked the court to make ex-members and never-ever members, members again. And then to turn the land and other assets of the church over to them and dissolve the church! That action was settled out of court via a Tenants-In-Common agreement that gave each of the rebels an ownership share in the residential area of the property. Yet they persist in extortion efforts obviously aimed at a complete take-over of church assets and removal of the pastor.
The pastor and the still-faithful membership have filed a lawsuit asking that the rebels be indicted for theft by extortion of 43 acres they obtained by rent-strike, intimidation, false accusations, attempted bribery, blackmail, lying and fraud--all felonies under the official definition of extortion in Arizona statutes.
We had a peaceful community for years until human nature reared its ugly head. Now our quest is to restore peace and “press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus (Immanuel)” Phil 3:14. Again, the prize of the first-fruits is to be the bride of Christ and we must fight past any distractions in preparation for that high calling.
