Helping “Prepare the Bride” for Christ is our first and overall quest. He is ready for the marriage, we are not. We need to do all we can to give our hearts entirely to Him and be as much like Him as we can be by the time we die, or He returns. He wants a bride totally committed—heart, mind, body and soul to Him and His purposes.We are entreated to think as He thinks (let this mind be in you...), walk as He walks, to live by every word of God. The reason we, Worldwide Church of God, were all spewed out was lack of heart—lukewarmness. The zeal and “doing everything with our might” was missing. It was not primarily doctrine, apart from the Tkach debacle, but attitude that put us where we are today scattered, confused, frustrated. Or on the other hand, blissfully unaware that anything is wrong “in our group.”It is the aim of A Congregation of God to look first at ourselves and fix our own attitudes and conduct. If we can be a light to others, well and good. If by sermons we post, we can

2080 - II John and III John
Darryl Henson - August 15, 2026 - The letters of II John and III John are brief, but their message is powerful. John emphasizes the importance of walking in truth, keeping God's commandments, loving one another, and guarding ourselves against deception. He also gives us practical examples of faithfulness and unfaithfulness. Together, these letters remind us that knowing the truth is not enough—we must live it, serve others, and remain faithful to the end.

2079 - NMBS What Are We Hungry For?
Darryl Henson - August 12, 2026 - New Moon Bible Study - What Are We Hungry For?We live in a world where it is becoming increasingly difficult to know what is real and what is not. We can see something, hear something, and believe something is genuine, only to discover that we've been deceived. Technology is making that problem even more difficult. The question is not simply, “What is true?” but “How do we know what is true, and what can we really trust?”God's Word gives us an answer, but it also gives us something we need even more—a way of thinking that helps us recognize truth and reject deception. Jesus said, “Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled.” Hunger and thirst are not casual desires. When you're truly hungry or thirsty, you know it. It gets your attention. You want to satisfy that need.So Jesus is describing something much deeper than simply wanting to be a good person. He is talking about a genuine desire for God's way of thinking, God's character, and God's righteousness. Do we hunger and thirst for righteousness that way? Is becoming more like God something we genuinely desire, or is it simply something we know we're supposed to do?Tonight, we'll look at what it means to hunger and thirst after righteousness, why righteousness is so important to God, and how His Word is intended to transform the way we think and live.

2078 - I John 4-5 - Keeping God First
Darryl Henson - August 8, 2026 - As we come to the final sermon in our journey through 1 John, it is worth stepping back and asking what John has been trying to impress upon us from the beginning. His message has been remarkably simple, but that doesn't mean it is easy. He has continued to bring us back to the basics—knowing God, walking as Christ walked, keeping God's commandments, loving one another, overcoming the world, and remaining faithful to the end. These are not separate subjects. They are all connected, and together they describe what it means to truly belong to God.John has also given us something we desperately need: confidence and hope. We are living in a world that pulls us in the opposite direction, and overcoming our own nature and the influence around us is a constant battle. Yet John reminds us that God has a plan, that Christ's sacrifice makes forgiveness possible, and that God's Spirit gives us the help we need to continue growing. We don't have to be perfect today, but we do have to keep moving in the right direction.And so, as we close out I John, John's final words bring us right back to where everything begins: keep God first. Whatever competes with God for our loyalty, our attention, or our love can become an idol. After everything John has taught us about love, obedience, faith, overcoming, and eternal life, that is a fitting place to end. The question is not simply whether we know these things, but whether we are living them—and whether our lives are preparing us for the future God has promised.

2077 - I John 3-4 - The Marks of Genuine Faith
Darryl Henson - August 1, 2026 - Following Christ has never been the easy path. The closer we walk with Him, the more we discover that His values stand in sharp contrast to the world around us. The apostle John acknowledges that reality, but he also shows us what genuine Christianity looks like. It isn't just about claiming to know Christ—it is revealed by loving the brethren, obeying God's commandments, growing in confidence before Him, and carefully testing every teaching against the truth of Scripture. Today we'll see how these marks of genuine faith help us remain faithful to Christ in a world filled with competing voices and conflicting ideas.

2076 - I John 3 - Called to be God's Children
Darryl Henson - July 25, 2026 - Few truths are more remarkable than this: the Creator of the universe has called us to be His children. That's where John begins chapter 3—with amazement at the Father's love. But this calling is far more than a title or a future promise. God is preparing a people who are being transformed today—learning to overcome sin, to grow in righteousness, and to reflect His character more and more. As we continue through 1 John 3, we'll see that God's incredible love not only gives us hope for what we will become, but also shapes how we should live right now.

2075 - I John 2 - How Do You Know You Know God?
Darryl Henson - July 18, 3036 - What does it really mean to know God? Many people confidently say they do, but the apostle John asks a much more searching question: How do you know that you truly know Him? His answer leaves little room for confusion. Those who truly know God will strive to keep His commandments and follow Christ's example.In this message, we examine these clear but challenging words, along with practical lessons about repentance, humility, loving others, and resisting the pull of the world. It is a timely reminder to examine ourselves honestly and consider whether our lives truly reflect the faith we profess.

2074 - I John 1 - Walking in the Light
Darryl Henson - June 27, 2026 - This sermon begins a study of 1 John. John’s first epistle explains what it really means to have fellowship with God. This message explores the importance of living in the light through obedience, repentance, and a growing relationship with God, while showing that real joy comes from continually walking in His ways.

2073 - Pentecost: A Day of Restoration and Hope
Darryl Henson - June 21, 2026 - The sermon explores the meaning of Pentecost as a key part of God's plan of salvation and restoration. Beginning with Passover and the Days of Unleavened Bread, Darryl explains how God's Holy Days reveal a step-by-step process of deliverance from sin and growth toward eternal life. Pentecost is presented as a day of freedom, restoration, and spiritual power, closely connected to the Jubilee year. Through the giving of the Holy Spirit, we receive the help we need to overcome sin, obey God, and prepare for a future role as the firstfruits in God's Kingdom. The message walks through Acts 1 and 2, highlighting the disciples' faithful waiting, the dramatic outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and Peter's powerful sermon that led thousands to repentance and baptism.Pentecost points not only to what happened in the first century but also to a greater restoration still ahead. Drawing from prophecies throughout the Bible, we are shown that God will again work through His Spirit to restore a faithful remnant and prepare the way for Christ's return. Throughout the message, we are reminded that true obedience to God is rare and that human nature naturally resists His ways. Because of this, the Holy Spirit is essential for spiritual growth and transformation. The sermon concludes with a reminder to be thankful for God's calling, remain faithful to His truth, and look forward with hope to the complete restoration that God has promised.

2072 - The Mustard Seed Kingdom
Darryl Henson - June 20, 2026 - On the eve of Pentecost, this message explores Christ's parable of the mustard seed and its implications for the Kingdom of God. Examining Matthew 13, Micah 4, Zechariah 2, and Daniel's prophecies, the sermon presents the possibility that God's Kingdom begins as a small remnant before expanding to fill the earth. The message also highlights the calling of the firstfruits and the need for spiritual repentance and preparation.

2071 - Adapting to God's Purpose in Times of Change
Darryl Henson - June 15, 2026 - This Bible Study examines how God uses change to shape His people and why adaptation is essential for spiritual growth. Drawing from Deuteronomy 28, Revelation 3, and examples from Adam and Eve, ancient Israel, America, and the Church, the message explores the consequences of obedience and disobedience, the dangers of complacency, and the challenge of responding faithfully when circumstances change. The focus is on repentance, learning contentment, and preparing for the blessings God promises to those who remain faithful and willing to change.

2070 - Faith, Hope, and Love: Preparing for the Test Ahead
Darryl Henson - June 13, 2026 - Continuing a series on the themes of faith, hope, and love found in the epistles of James, Peter, and John, this sermon focuses on John’s message that love is the greatest of Godly virtues. Drawing from 1 John, and Jeremiah 31, the message explores fellowship with God, the importance of the Sabbath, the balance of doctrine, history, and prophecy, and the responsibility to grow in love and service. The sermon emphasizes God’s guidance in the lives of His people and challenges us to prepare for future opportunities to show compassion, patience, and hospitality to those seeking truth.

2069 - Jubilees and America
Darryl Henson - June 6, 2026 - This sermon explores the biblical significance of the numbers 50, 250, and 430, drawing connections between Pentecost, the Day of Atonement, the Jubilee, and the founding of the United States. Through an examination of prophetic passages in Ezekiel and Amos, historical events in American history, and the nation's upcoming 250th anniversary, the message considers possible prophetic implications and the recurring patterns of God's guidance in both nations and His Church.

2068 - II Peter 3
Darryl Henson - May 30, 2026 - In this study of II Peter 3, the focus is on the hope found in God's promises and His plan for humanity. Peter warns of scoffers in the last days, reminds believers to remember the teachings of the prophets and apostles, and explains that God is patient, desiring that all come to repentance. The sermon also examines the Day of the Lord, God's prophetic timeline, and the importance of looking forward to what God is accomplishing rather than looking back to the past.
-
987
2067 - II Peter 2
Darryl Henson - May 23, 2026 - This episode continues a study of Second Epistle of Peter chapter 2, focusing on false teachers, doctrinal deception, and the importance of proving beliefs through Scripture. Using biblical examples such as Jeremiah, Moses, and Korah, the message warns against pride, spiritual presumption, and blindly following human authority. The episode encourages believers to study carefully, remain humble, and stay grounded in biblical truth.

2066 - II Peter 1
Darryl Henson - May 16, 2026 - Returning to the series started before Passover, we pick up again in II Peter 1, emphasizing Peter’s role as a servant‑leader to the early scattered Church. The message highlights that true righteousness and peace come only through God’s power, knowledge, and Spirit, not human effort. Believers are reminded that God has given “precious promises” so they can grow into His divine nature and escape the world’s corruption. The chapter’s progression of spiritual qualities—faith, virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, godliness, brotherly kindness, and love—is explained as a deliberate, diligent, and patient process of transformation. When these qualities abound, they reshape a Christian’s character, making them spiritually fruitful and aligned with Christ.

2065 - Time for Prophecy is Over - Timeline is Now
Darryl Henson - May 9, 2026 The warnings we once viewed as distant prophecies have now become the reality we are living through. As we look at the worsening drought, rising food scarcity, national instability, and global conflict, we see the very conditions described in scripture unfolding around us. We can see that our nation’s choices, its leadership, and its actions abroad have accelerated a crisis that is no longer theoretical but immediate. As we listen to the analysis of collapsing oil supplies, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, and the approaching breakdown of the systems that sustain our daily lives, we understand that we are entering a period of profound upheaval. Together, we are being urged to acknowledge the seriousness of this moment, to see the convergence of events for what it is, and to prepare ourselves spiritually and practically for what lies ahead.The article read by Darryl was written by Mark A.

2064 - Day 7 Feast of Unleavened Bread 2026
Darryl Henson - May 7, 2026 - Today we’re reminded that the seventh day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread calls us to reflect on deliverance and restoration—a meaning we may not have fully appreciated before. Together, we look back at how God led Israel step by step: through the plagues, the Passover, and finally the Red Sea, revealing His power and His plan to redeem His people. We see ourselves in Israel’s struggle between fear and faith, recognizing how often we, too, doubt even after witnessing God’s help. We are urged to stand still when God says stand still, to move when He opens the way, and to trust that the same God who delivered Israel is guiding us toward our own future deliverance.
-
983
2063 - Day 6 Feast of Unleavened Bread 2026
Darryl Henson - May 6, 2026 - As we near the end of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, we’re reminded to examine ourselves honestly, remove sin with intention, and avoid letting distractions or misplaced priorities weaken our relationship with God. We refocus on redeeming our time, nurturing our daily walk with Him, and setting an example that strengthens the generations that follow us.
-
982
2062 - Day 5 Feast of Unleavened Bread 2026
Darryl Henson - May 5, 2026 - We are reminded not to let the Feast of Unleavened Bread pass without real change in our thinking and our lives. God expects us to actively seek Him rather than drift through these days. We recognize how easily entertainment, technology, and everyday distractions shape our attitudes, so we need to use our elective time—what’s left after work, sleep, and responsibilities—to study Scripture, pray, and focus on God. We learn that both sins of commission and omission matter, and we can’t live by every word of God unless we know it well enough to apply it. When we let hobbies or entertainment take priority, we’re effectively placing other “gods” before Him. Our attitude becomes central: we’re called to be content in whatever circumstances God places us, trusting that He knows exactly where we are and why. Like Paul, who endured hardship yet stayed focused and grateful, we’re encouraged to maintain the right mindset so we can learn what God is teaching us. When we seek Him wholeheartedly, He promises to hear us, guide us, and bless us.
-
981
2061 - Day 4 Feast of Unleavened Bread 2026
Darryl Henson - May 4, 2026 - We are reminded that the Days of Unleavened Bread call us to actively put sin out of our lives by obeying God’s commandments and separating ourselves from the world’s influence, because constant exposure to worldly entertainment, city life, and ungodly behavior pulls us toward sin. As we study scriptures about obedience and fellowship, we see that we come to know God by walking in His ways and by surrounding ourselves with what He has made rather than what society produces. When we step away from screens, noise, and crowded places and spend time in nature—where there is no stimulus toward sin—our minds clear, our thoughts become more godly, and we better recognize God’s presence. We are encouraged to seek environments and habits that support righteousness and to “come out of Babylon” so we do not share in the sins and consequences of the world.
-
980
2060 - Day 2 Feast of Unleavened Bread 2026
Darryl Henson - May 2, 2026 - We learn that the Days of Unleavened Bread teach us to remove sin from our lives just as Israel removed leaven, remembering God’s deliverance and keeping His law continually before our eyes. As Paul explains, leaven represents sin that spreads if not confronted, so we must address wrongdoing within our community and within ourselves before it corrupts more broadly. Through examples of church discipline and Christ’s warning about the “leaven of the Pharisees,” we are reminded that sin—whether cultural, habitual, or openly practiced—must be dealt with firmly and sincerely. This festival calls us to approach God with truth, vigilance, and a commitment to rooting out anything that separates us from Him.

2059 - Faith in God's Promises
Darryl Henson - May 1, 2026 - Day 1 Feast of Unleavened Bread - This sermon examines the connection between God's covenant with Abraham, the Passover, and end-time prophetic themes. Tracing the fulfillment of God's promises from Abraham through the Exodus and into prophetic expectations, the message emphasizes faith in Christ's sacrifice, confidence in God's promises, and the need for spiritual readiness in challenging times.

978
2058 - Examining for the Passover
Darryl Henson - April 25, 2026 - As Passover approaches, we are reminded that this season calls us to examine ourselves with the same care ancient Israel used when selecting the Passover lamb. In Exodus 12, the lamb had to be without blemish, carefully inspected, and fully consumed—pointing us to Christ’s perfect sacrifice and to our calling to become living sacrifices. We recognize how easy it is to excuse our shortcomings, yet we are urged to resist that tendency and instead pursue holiness with intention. The instructions given to Israel—preparing the lamb, applying the blood, eating in haste, and approaching the night with seriousness—teach us that obedience, readiness, and reverence are essential attitudes as we draw near to Passover.We also see how the events of that night carried life‑and‑death weight: the blood on the doorposts meant protection, while neglecting God’s command meant loss. This same seriousness carries into Paul’s teaching in 1 Corinthians 11, where we are reminded that the symbols of Christ’s broken body and shed blood must be taken with sobriety, gratitude, and unity. The early church struggled with wrong attitudes—self‑focus, carelessness, even drunkenness—and their example warns us to approach this observance with humility and discernment. Together, we are called to prepare our hearts, examine our spiritual condition honestly, and renew our commitment to honor Christ’s sacrifice fully.
