It Won’t Be Long Now
Mr. Jon Ardis 07-02-2016
How do we wait God’s way? Is God waiting on us? The bible is full of examples for us like Noah, Joseph etc. who have waited on God. While we wait we can look at our character flaws as God sees them, and develop wisdom in order that trials are not needed to develop them. We need to see ourselves growing and gaining wisdom, and remaining faithful, while we look to God’s promises to come.
Not A Single Failure – Revisited
Mr. John Durrad 02-02-2016 (from 02-08-2014)
We must all make the most of our present state. If prayers are not answered, there is a reason for this. We also must give quality service by showing resoursefulness, overcoming obstacles and doing the right things without being told. Our present state is a gift from God and is what is best for us.

Trust In God, Not Man
Mr. John Durrad 09-05-2015
Mankind is not doomed but has a mediator who is Christ. John 16:33. Our reward is based on how we use the Holy Spirit. Conversion is the measure of our using the Holy Spirit in overcoming. We need to gain knowledge of God’s law and then obey, understand the connection between cause and effect, and exercise wisdom in applying understanding.
Spirit Life
Mr. Jon Ardis 06-13-2015
We all encounter spiritual setbacks in our lives, some small and some large. Small setbacks can keep us from overcoming bigger issues. We must continually be aware of our spiritual progress. Obstacles, setbacks and accomplishments are phases of conversion.
The Life and Death of Jesus Christ – FDOB – AM Service
Mr. Robert Ardis 04-04-2015
There is much confusion in the world over the Passover, a memorial of the death of Christ. This sermon reviews ten deeds of Christ as outlined in the book of Acts written by Luke. Using this information we can set goals for ourselves, for the Days of Unleavened Bread, and for the future. We need to live our lives without sinning. These goals include:
1. Are we prepared to be “fishers of men” ?
2. Are we working towards speaking with authority about the truths of the CGF?
3. Are we working towards being able to discern spirits and to have authority over them?
4. Are we working towards being filled with compassion for others?
5. Are we developing the wisdom and common sense of Christ?
6. Are we angry when we see sin, and not sin ourselves?
7. Are we preparing ourselves to be able to perform miracles, signs, and wonders?
8. Are we preparing ourselves to stand if evil/lies/slander is said of us?
9. Have we developed the courage to stand for Christ (faith in action)?
10. Do we have the loyalty and devotion to God as Jesus did?
Critical Update – Forgiveness
Mr. Jon Ardis 01-31-2015
Preparing for the future is what God’s work is all about. Each Sabbath is a continuing reminder for us to deal with overcoming. Joseph’s trials are an example to us of forgiveness, and the great power it can work in our life and in the life of others.
From This Point On 2015
Mr. Gerry Ardis 01-03-2015
How are each one of us doing spiritually? Trials are provided to us in order that we can build our characters to be like God’s. We need to be renewed from this point on to build the mind of Jesus within us so the Father can say “Well done you good and faithful servant”.

Mr. Gerry Ardis 04-15-2014
Are we thinking like God and where are we on the seven levels of spiritual reflex action? Christ had no safety net in dealing with sin and neither do we.

Beginning of Months – Adar 1- Month 12 – Develop A Deeper Relationship With God
Mr. Jon Ardis 02-01-2014
God has used the Beginning of Months in combination with the Sabbath and Holy Days to make announcements to Israel and His church. Also we must continue to use our time wisely to overcome, and to examine and correct ourselves, so that God does not have to. Are we an example of moral excellence and do people see this in our lives?
