Published January 19, 2019
Apostasy is the opposite of Godly faith. Apostasy is a false faith that produces disobedience to God and his commandments. In this sermon, Rod Reynolds discusses the historical record of apostasy against God. Understanding what has happened in the past can help us avoid the same mistakes in the future. And it can also help us to better understand the prophecies of the future and what to expect in days leading up to the return of Jesus Christ.

Can Anything be Done About the Weather?

Posted on by

There is a God in Heaven who has blessed us as a nation. We’ve enjoyed unprecedented wealth, conveniences and power over the past 200+ years; blessings of produce, crops, and livestock – all dependent on favorable weather. Nations that suffer prolonged periods of drought, a succession of devastating floods, weather that is unseasonably cool for too long, or widespread disruptive weather events such as hurricanes will suffer in lost agricultural production, and even famine and ruin in extreme cases. In this sermon, pastor Rod Reynolds addresses the question, can anything be done about the weather?

Published on June 1, 2018
The Spirit of God is the power by which God’s spiritual creation is being formed and perfected in the Church. The Holy Spirit is a spirit of power, but do we understand how powerful God really is? God is a Workman, a Builder, a Creator and the power by which He is perfecting His creation is His Spirit.
