How To Have Effective And Fervent Prayer – Revisited
Mr. John Durrad 12-23-2023
Effectual and fervent prayer avails much. Lack of daily prayer is NOT an option for God’s people, as prayers are needed to produce actions.
Ideas to produce effectual and fervent prayer are:
- Be persistent – continually petition to God, be devoted to prayer.
- Use a prayer outline e.g. the Father’s prayer.
- Pray with real believing faith – expect and be confident that God hears our prayers. Put work into prayers and prayers will work!
- Keep God’s laws, and the Father and Christ will listen.
How Well Do You Know God? – Revisited
Mr. John Durrad 12-16-2023 (from 10-02-2021)
Everything is worthless compared to knowing God. God is omnipresent (everywhere at once), omnipotent (all powerful), and omniscient(all knowing). We get to know Him by frequent contact with Him and with our brethren. Through prayer, bible study, meditation and fasting, we acquire and are able to use the mind of God in all we do. Building a relationship with God requires love, commitment, trust and obedience to God’s laws.
The Chosen Of God – Revisited
Mr. Gerry Ardis 12-16-2023 (from 07-27-2019)
Many are called but few are chosen. Are you called AND CHOSEN? This sermon gives a Biblical explanation of the difference between being just called, and being called AND CHOSEN. It also contains a review of Herbert W. Armstrong’s – Seven Laws of Success.
Fruit Of The Spirit – Peace – Revisited
Mr. Jon Ardis 12-02-2023 (from 08-27-2022)
It is not an uncommon occurrence for us to be thrust into circumstances to learn about the fruits of the spirit. Living according to God’s standards will give us peace, harmony, calmness and an absence of anxiety. Five activities are discussed to help us find peace in our spiritual, physical and mental lives:
- Keep God’s laws and do them.
- Keep mind focused on God and His kingdom
- Develop a deeper relationship with God through prayer
- Be thankful, be content
- Become a peacemaker
Role Of Women – Revisited
Mr. John Durrad 11-11-2023 (from 02-23-2019)
The breakdown of the family is one of the greatest curses to happen since the 1960s. The roles of men and women are upside down in today’s society. This sermon is a review of the Godly roles for men and women, that they are different, and that this must be realized and practiced daily.
Romans 15:4 – Revisited
Mr. Robert Ardis 11-05-2023 (from 12-20-2008)
God’s Word provides us written instructions for our learning. Today we walk by faith not by sight. In Matt 8:5-10 Jesus was impressed with the faith of the centurion, who did not require Jesus to come to the bedside of his ill servant, to believe Christ could heal him. What is our faith like?
Freedom Of Choice – Revisited
Mr. John Durrad 10-28-2023 (from 04-25-2020)
Is anyone totally free from God’s commandments or our carnal nature? In order to know what is total freedom is, we must know what freedom and slavery is. God has given us the power of freedom of choice. It can be the greatest blessing or the greatest curse in our lives. Freedom is knowing the truth which only comes from the bible.
Seek You First The Kingdom Of God – Revisited
Mr. John Durrad 10-21-2023 (from 10-03-2009)
Are we truly seeking God’s kingdom to come first in our life or are we comfortable in our present situation? Much of the world is not comfortable. Mankind needs God’s return to show mankind how to live God’s way. We must remain vigilant, awake, alert and prepared at all times for Christ’s visible return.
The Preparation Day – Revisited
Mr. Jon Ardis 10-14-2023 (from 11-21-2020)
We are to work out our own salvation. In particular our keeping of the Sabbath is something we need to examine on a continuous basis. We need to ask ourselves if we can do anything different to prepare for, make this day special, and keep it holy to God. Preparing for the Sabbath is preparing for the kingdom of God.
