Saints of God
Brother Mark reads from Ephesians and reminds us the most fearsome and the most wondrous name we bear is Saint. To sanctify ourselves in the service of God is to make our daily lives line up with the sayings of Jesus our Lord. Brother Mark reminds us from 1 Peter to be vigilant in our lives and in our conduct that we may truly be lively stones in the living Temple of God.

Randy McCarthy
In this sermon, Randy examines the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 1). Randy stresses that the second coming, also referred to in the Scriptures as the Day of Redemption, is an important doctrine taught by every book in the New Testament. Randy discusses reasons why God’s people sometimes are not as excited about His second coming as they should be, and addresses three questions: Why is He coming, How is He coming, and When is He coming.

Allen DanielsAllen opened services by reading from the 49th Psalm and discussed the redemption we have through the precious blood of Christ Jesus our Lord.
Randy McCarthyRandy discussed the seven feast days that the Lord gave the nation of Israel to observe (Lev 23).
These feast days are : Passover . Unleavened Bread . Firstfruits
Weeks (Pentecost) . Trumpets . Day of Atonement . Tabernacles (Booths)
Randy pointed out how that each of these feast days point to different aspects of the person and work of Jesus Christ. The first three feasts in the Spring (Passover, Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits) were fulfilled in the suffering, death, burial and resurrection of the Lord Jesus. The fourth Spring feast, Pentacost, signified the commencement of the gospel age, as recorded in Acts 2. The three feasts in the Fall (Trumpets, Day of Atonement and Tabernacles) signify aspects of the Lord Jesus’ second coming. He will come with the sound of a trumpet (1 Thes 4:13-20), there will be a great day of judgment where God separates His sheep from the goats (Matt 25:31-46), and then God’s people dwell with him forever with Him in their midst (Tabernacles).

Mark Wattenbarger
Brother Mark draws our attention to the Apostle Paul’s trip to Thessalonica. The disciples are accused of turning the world upside down. Brother Mark asks us who really is upside down and when did it start? In our world of heavy media influence, he encourages us to be on guard against thinking which really is upside down, oriented towards the world and putting man first. Instead, let us think uprightly, or right-side up, and glorify our Father in heaven with our thoughts oriented toward God.
