In this encouraging and insightful sermon, Mr. Ray Murray delves into the profound biblical message from the book of Second Peter, focusing on the powerful admonition to "make your calling and election sure." Ray shares a deeply personal journey, recounting his own struggles as a teenager and the profound comfort he found in God's promises. He highlights a central theme: while God's grace and calling are gifts, we have a vital and diligent part to play in our spiritual journey.

Ray Murray meticulously explores the synergy between faith and works, explaining that faith without works is dead, and true belief in God's promises should be reflected in our actions. He navigates through various scriptures, from Ephesians to Galatians and Romans, to illustrate how God's plan, established before the foundation of the world, is to fashion us into his children. Mr. Murray emphasizes that while salvation is by grace and not works, our conduct and obedience are crucial to our spiritual growth and for bearing good fruit.

This video is a powerful reminder that we are God’s workmanship, created for good works, and that the spiritual laws of God operate with perfect order. The talk culminates in a message of hope and strength: God, who began a good work in you, will see it through to completion. Mr. Murray encourages viewers to be prepared in their minds, be self-controlled, and remain steadfast in their faith, continually building themselves up in prayer and love, as they await the glorious promise of eternal life.

Using the biblical account of Joab and his brother Abishai from 2 Samuel, Tom Fannin highlights the importance of courage, mutual support, and being strong for our fellow believers.

He emphasizes that just as the men in the Old Testament were willing to fight for one another, we are called to be there for our brothers and sisters in Christ, offering encouragement, help, and prayer.

Through personal anecdotes, including a touching story about minister Ray Wooten, he illustrates how God works through individuals to help us grow and develop in our faith.

Mr. Fannin concludes by reminding us that we are obligated to support the weak and that true love is expressed through action and a willingness to help, search out, and refresh those in need.

This message from Tom Fannin will inspire you to be a more supportive, courageous, and loving member of your spiritual community, understanding that we are all born for adversity to help each other.

In this inspiring message, Mr. Lindsay Stephens invites us on a unique journey, reframing our spiritual lives as a long and purposeful voyage at sea. He introduces the first three of seven essential "seas" we must navigate on this path from our initial calling to our ultimate destination at the resurrection.

Using the analogy of a ship on a voyage, Mr. Stephens explains that God the Father owns the ship, and Jesus Christ is our captain. We, as passengers, are equipped with navigational aids to help us make sound decisions, even in the midst of trials. This first part of the message focuses on the "Sea of Communication." Mr. Stephens emphasizes the importance of a two-way connection with God through His Word and prayer. He highlights how God's truth serves as a lamp to our feet, providing vital direction and keeping us from being lost in darkness.

Next, we delve into the "Sea of Conviction." Mr. Stephens explores how conviction is not merely intellectual understanding but a deep, heartfelt realization of truth that provides unwavering purpose and stability in our faith. Finally, he introduces the "Sea of Common Sense," demonstrating that while not explicitly named in scripture, it's a biblical principle of sound judgment and wisdom. Mr. Stephens masterfully shows how faith and common sense work together, using examples like King Solomon's request for wisdom and Nehemiah's practical approach to opposition.

This message is a powerful guide to understanding and applying foundational spiritual principles in your life. Mr. Stephens' insights remind us that with God as our captain, we can confidently navigate any storm, trusting in His perfect plan for our voyage to eternity. Be sure to tune in for part two, where we'll explore the remaining four seas!

He thoughtfully unpacks the seemingly contradictory nature of these experiences, encouraging listeners to trust in God's master plan even when faced with perplexity and adversity.

Norbert explains the powerful metaphor of a "living dog is better than a dead lion," highlighting the immense value of being alive and having the opportunity to learn, grow, and develop a deeper relationship with God through life's trials. He emphasizes that while we may feel like masters of our own lives, our true destiny is fully in God's hands. By using the Holy Spirit to prayerfully consider our circumstances, we can avoid anger and resentment, instead gaining invaluable wisdom and spiritual maturity.

This video is a compelling reminder that every experience—positive or negative—is part of God's work to shape us. Norbert Bohnert shares that by submitting to the "potter's" hand, we allow Christ to live more fully in us, ultimately bearing much fruit and bringing glory to God.

In this heartfelt message, Mr. Albert Jones explores the profound theme of God has called us to freedom, a topic that has been a focus of his Bible studies and fellowship in Michigan. He begins by welcoming listeners to the Sabbath and encouraging them to contemplate the past week, reminding us that God has instructed us to be prepared and to trust in Him.

Drawing from scriptures like Galatians 5, Mr. Jones emphasizes that the freedom we have been granted is a miracle of God's grace and the work of Jesus Christ. He explains that this isn't just about the forgiveness of sins, but about a complete reconciliation that allows us to stand justified before the Father in the righteousness of Christ. He challenges the idea that any physical act, like circumcision as discussed by Paul, can not contribute to this freedom, asserting that our entire standing is a result of Christ's sacrifice. He reminds us, “Christ profits us everything,” and our lives are dependent on what He did.

Mr. Jones then turns to John 3 to highlight God’s immense love for the world, a love so great that He gave his only begotten Son so that all who believe might have everlasting life. He explains that this is an act of love, not futility, purposefully designed for our salvation. We are called to live in this truth, running to the light when darkness appears, and practicing the truth in our daily lives.

He continues by referencing John 5, speaking about the resurrection and judgment, and the authority given to Jesus as the Son of Man. He underscores that our relationship with God is the most important thing, with the Bible serving as a tool to help us understand. He concludes by drawing from 1 John 5 and 2 Peter 1, urging us to hold fast to our faith and our calling. He states that our obedience to God strengthens the entire body of believers and that by adding virtues to our faith, we make our calling and election sure. Mr. Jones’s message is a powerful reminder to stay with Christ, keep our focus on the wonderful gift of life, and prepare for the reality that will soon be revealed to the world.

Welcome, brethren, to a crucial message from Mr. Lindsay Stephens as he explores the profound importance of the Ninth Commandment in today's increasingly complex world. In this insightful video, Mr. Stephens delves into Exodus 20:16, "You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor," revealing how this seemingly simple command underpins the very fabric of human interaction and our relationship with truth.

Lindsay Stephens highlights how easily this commandment is broken in our daily lives, especially with the pervasive influence of modern communication platforms like Facebook, X, TikTok, YouTube, and Reddit. He explains the dangers of false accusations, abundant rumors, and the rarity of accountability in these digital spaces. The message emphasizes the seriousness of accepting and, even more so, passing on unverified information, urging viewers to exercise extreme care in what they speak and post.

Drawing from scriptures like Ephesians 4 and Isaiah 59, Mr. Stephens illustrates the corrupting nature of rumors and false accusations, contrasting them with the edifying power of truth, kindness, and forgiveness. He unpacks the negative consequences of breaking God's commandments, focusing specifically on the ninth, and reveals how society, particularly "modern Israel," has strayed from truth and justice, leading to crooked paths and a lack of peace.

Mr. Stephens provides a detailed breakdown of the Ninth Commandment's implications, covering everything from legal testimony to personal relationships and the importance of assuming the best in others. He also contrasts gossip with false witness, highlighting the critical difference in intent and impact. Practical applications for living out truth are discussed, including controlling the tongue as described in James 3 and understanding that God knows all hidden things, as seen in Luke 8:17.

Finally, Lindsay Stephens paints a compelling picture of a world where the Ninth Commandment is universally upheld, envisioning increased trust, improved communication, reduced conflicts, and a strengthened justice system. He concludes with an encouraging call to embrace God's truth, reminding us that those who keep His commandments have the right to eternal life, while those who love and devise a lie are excluded. Join Mr. Stephens as he inspires us to fulfill the Ninth Commandment from a positive aspect, loving God, His laws, and His great plan of salvation. Contact Us: https://www.cbcg.org/contactus.html

Have you ever read the phrase “And God remembered” in the Bible and wondered what it means? In this insightful online sermon, Michael Heiss unpacks this common yet profound expression, revealing a meaning that goes far beyond simple memory. Mr. Heiss explains that this phrase is not about God overcoming a moment of forgetfulness, but is rather a powerful Hebraic linguistic signal that God is about to take decisive action.

Throughout this message, Michael Heiss guides us through scripture to illustrate this powerful truth. We witness God “remembering” Noah, not by recalling him, but by acting to subside the floodwaters and establish an everlasting covenant sealed by the rainbow. The journey continues as God “remembers” Abraham by acting to save Lot from Sodom, and as He “remembers” the desperate, heartfelt prayer of Hannah, blessing her with a son, Samuel, and many more children.

The sermon culminates in the most powerful example of all: the New Covenant. Here, Mr. Heiss explains, God performs the ultimate act of “remembering” by choosing to “remember our sins no more.” It’s a profound paradox where God’s greatest action is to forget, offering complete forgiveness and a future unburdened by past mistakes. Join Michael Heiss for a message that will transform how you view Godnot as a passive observer, but as a dynamic, loving, and ever-present God who remembers His people through powerful, redemptive action.

In this thought-provoking message, Norbert Bohnert explores a subject that challenges our preconceived notions of what it means to be "right" on our spiritual journey. Drawing from powerful scriptures like 1 Corinthians 10 vs. 12, Mr. Bohnert highlights the subtle dangers of self-deception and the human tendency to always appear correct. He emphasizes that "doing right" and the "need to be right" are fundamentally different, and the latter can often lead us astray from God's intended path.

Mr. Bohnert encourages a profound shift in perspective, moving from a one-dimensional, inward-focused view of life to a humble, God-centered approach. He reminds us that God did not call us because we "had it all figured out," but rather to listen, learn, and grow. Through insightful references to Paul's letters and the teachings of Jesus in Matthew, Norbert Bohnert meticulously breaks down how our obsession with being right can hinder personal growth, lead to judgmental attitudes, and even create divisiveness within the community.

This message is a crucial call for self-examination, urging us to question our well-worn responses and instead ask, "Am I wise?" rather than "Am I right?" Mr. Bohnert highlights that true wisdom, as described in James 3, is characterized by humility, peace, gentleness, and a willingness to yield, steering clear of self-seeking ambition. Ultimately, Norbert Bohnert underscores that only through humility and a consistent reliance on God's Holy Spirit can we truly align with God's will and move forward on the path He has prepared for us.
