Jesus said he who hungers and thirsts for righteousness will be filled (Matthew 5:6). How can this promise be fulfilled in you?
In this message Rod Reynolds addresses questions such as what it means to hunger and thirst for righteousness, what righteousness is, and what is necessary for one to be filled with righteousness.
Are you a member of the true Church? How many true Churches are there? What is the true Church? How can you know if you are in the true Church? And if you are in the true Church, how can you stay in the true Church of God? These are questions every person who desires to be a genuine Christian faces. We should know the answers. Not knowing the answers has already put the salvation of many in jeopardy, and can put your salvation in jeopardy. A good deal of misinformation has been propagated concerning the matter of being in the Church and how it relates to our standing before God. Years ago, in the midst of an apostasy being engineered by the leaders of a Church of God fellowship, people were told that God called them into a particular corporate Church body, and that’s where he expects them to stay. Individuals have said, “God called me into this Church,” meaning a particular corporate organization, “and this is where I’m staying.”
Is that what God called us into? Is that true?

Does obeying God have any benefit? What is in store for those who obey God? And for those who refuse? Rod Reynolds discusses the question, does it pay to obey God?
We are instructed in Scripture to “Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith” (II Corinthians 13:5). The Bible has a great deal to say about being faithful, and faithfulness. We are told that those who will be with Christ in his kingdom are “called, chosen, and faithful” (Revelation 17:14).
In the message “Are You Faithful?” are reviewed a number of Scriptures relating to both the faithfulness of God and the faithfulness he requires of his people. Every Christian is being tested with regard to his faithfulness to God and his way of life, and it’s a matter we need to give attention to and take seriously.
