Please read this statement on Charlottesville from our General Director, Jim Lyon.
Believing and Doing: The Great Commission
Jesus gave the “Great Commission” to his disciples at the very end of Matthew’s gospel. Pastor David suggests that this is very much like the covenant language that God used in the Old Testament, such as in today’s sermon text, Isaiah 56:1-8.
Believing and Doing: Women in Ministry
The Church of God has always supported women as ministers of the good news of Jesus Christ, based on our reading of scripture passages such as Romans 10:5-15. Listen as Pastor David sets the context and discusses how all of us are responsible to take in the word of faith and to share it with others. How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!
Church Life Interrupted
Are you Paul, Timothy, or a person from Macedonia? Whom do our churches need to welcome into their midst, and who is crying out for help? Listen to Pastor David’s second message at the St. Louis Camp Meeting, based on Acts 16:1-10.
Interrupted by God’s Wisdom
How can God’s wisdom interrupt our divided, polarized way of living? On Tuesday night of the 124th St. Louis Camp Meeting, Pastor David preached on Proverbs 16:1-9. Listen to his message here:
Believing and Doing: The Great Commandments
We say we believe the two greatest commandments are to love God and love our neighbors. How can we do that, when our own resources seem so scarce? Listen to Pastor David’s exploration of the Feeding of the Five Thousand, a story found in Matthew 14:13-21. What abundances are in your life? How can you share them with others?
Believing and Doing: Trinity
We begin our exploration of Church of God beliefs with something very fundamental: the Trinity. But believing isn’t enough – our beliefs must transform us so that we behave differently. How can we practice our belief in the Trinity? Listen to Pastor David’s message on Romans 8:26-39.
Jesus is the Subject
First, we study a parable that Jesus once told and explained (Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43). Then, we explore the slogan “Jesus is the Subject.” Pastor David’s contention: Jesus wants to be the entire sentence! Listen here:
