GTM – 01 HOW SERIOUS ARE WE? Norbert Bohnert - 02/14/2026 In this moving and timely message, Norbert Bohnert addresses a fundamental question that every believer should reflect upon, especially as we approach the Passover season: "How serious are we?" Norbert encourages us to move beyond a superficial or theoretical faith and instead embrace a deeply personal and passionate walk with God. He highlights the common human tendency to want "something for nothing," warning against the trap of spiritual complacency where we expect God's blessings without investing the necessary effort, heart, and soul into our relationship with Him. Throughout the script, Norbert Bohnert emphasizes that a godly life is a continuous journey that requires constant self-examination and reliance on a higher power. He discusses the vital role of the Holy Spirit as a supernatural source of strength, provided we are willing to take the actual steps required to walk in righteousness. Norbert points out that while the "outward man" may decay with age, the "inward man" can be renewed day by day through prayer, study, and a sincere desire to submit to the Father’s will. Drawing from various scriptural principles, Norbert reminds us that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit and that we are not our own. He challenges us to consider if there would be enough evidence to convict us of being followers of God in a court of law. This description serves as an invitation to all viewers to join Norbert Bohnert in assessing their spiritual progress, putting away the "old man," and becoming truly engrossed in the ways of God. It is a call to action to rediscover our first love and passion for the truth as we prepare our hearts for the sacred days ahead.Contact Us: https://www.cbcg.org/contactus.html* FREE OFFER:God's Plan for Mankind—Second EditionRevealed by His Sabbath and Holy Days: https://www.cbcg.org/special-offer-godsplan.htmlBooks: https://www.cbcg.org/books.htmlBooklets: https://www.cbcg.org/booklets/booklets.htmlMessages Index: https://www.cbcg.org/sermon-index.html

GTM –God's Glorious Transformation of His Saints– Albert Jones - 02/14/2026 GTM - Go To Meeting-In this inspiring Sabbath message, Mr. Jones explores the profound and often "unseen" work that God is currently performing within the hearts and minds of His people. Albert explains that this spiritual operation is a form of divine re-engineering, where the Holy Spirit works to redesign our fleshly nature into a state of spiritual perfection. By drawing on the writings of Paul, Mr. Jones highlights how we are intended to be "living epistles"—visible representations of Christ's love and truth to the world around us. Mr. Jones delves into the transition from the "ministry of death" engraved on stones to the far more glorious "ministry of the spirit" written on the heart. He emphasizes that while the law points out our condition, it is the Spirit that provides life, hope, and the righteousness found in Jesus Christ. As we approach the Passover season, Albert reminds us that this is a vital time to reaffirm our connection to God and reflect on the foundation of our faith: the sacrifice of Christ and the promise of His return. Throughout the sermon, Mr. Jones encourages the brethren to "let their light shine" and to walk worthily of their high calling. He discusses the ultimate goal of our journey—the transformation into the very image of Christ so that we may one day be born into the family of God as spirit beings. Whether it is through brotherly love, endurance, or the renewing of our minds, Albert Jones urges every believer to remain diligent in their walk toward the Kingdom. This message is a powerful reminder that while our physical presence is temporary, the glory being created within us is eternal.Contact Us: https://www.cbcg.org/contactus.html* FREE OFFER:God's Plan for Mankind—Second EditionRevealed by His Sabbath and Holy Days: https://www.cbcg.org/special-offer-godsplan.htmlBooks: https://www.cbcg.org/books.htmlBooklets: https://www.cbcg.org/booklets/booklets.htmlMessages Index: https://www.cbcg.org/sermon-index.html

GTM2 – Temples of the Living God– Eduardo Elizondo – 1/31/2026 In this profound and uplifting message, Eduardo explores the deeply sobering yet inspiring reality of what it means to be "Temples of the Living God." Mr. Elizondo begins by contrasting the physical tabernacles and temples of the Old Testament with the spiritual reality of the New Covenant. He emphasizes that under the New Covenant, God does not merely dwell among His people in a physical structure; through the power of the Holy Spirit, He actually dwells in them. Throughout the study, Eduardo guides us through key scriptures in Corinthians, Exodus, and Ephesians to help us grasp our ultimate purpose and destiny. He explains that we are "living stones" being fitted together into a spiritual house, with Jesus Christ as the chief cornerstone. Mr. Elizondo reminds us that this indwelling is a transformative process, where our human nature is gradually replaced by the nature of God. He also offers a serious reminder that because we are God's holy temple, we must walk circumspectly, taking care of our physical bodies and nurturing our spiritual growth through prayer, study, and meditation. Finally, Eduardo highlights the importance of unity within the body of Christ. He exhorts the brethren to forbear one another in love, maintaining the bond of peace and humility. By understanding that we are being built together for a habitation of God in the spirit, we can better appreciate the depth of God’s love for us—a love that Jesus prayed would be in us as He is in us. This message is a powerful call to reflect on the holiness of our calling and to live every day as a true worshipper in spirit and in truth.Contact Us: https://www.cbcg.org/contactus.html* FREE OFFER:God's Plan for Mankind—Second EditionRevealed by His Sabbath and Holy Days: https://www.cbcg.org/special-offer-godsplan.htmlBooks: https://www.cbcg.org/books.htmlBooklets: https://www.cbcg.org/booklets/booklets.htmlMessages Index: https://www.cbcg.org/sermon-index.html

To the Law and To The TestimonybYMichael Heiss - 02/06/2025In this insightful video, Mr. Michael Heiss takes us on a deep dive into the true linguistic and spiritual meaning of the "Law." Rather than viewing it as a rigid set of rules, Mr. Heiss explains that the Hebrew word Torah actually stems from a root meaning to teach, to instruct, or to point out. Through this lens, we begin to see God’s instructions not as a burden, but as a divine "umbrella" of teaching that covers every aspect of our lives. Michael expertly illustrates a unique Hebrew literary method known as "stringing pearls," where God lines up synonyms like commandments, statutes, and judgments to create a composite whole. By exploring key passages in Genesis and Deuteronomy, Mr. Heiss reveals why Abraham was blessed for keeping God’s charge and how these instructions were physically preserved for us. He provides a fascinating look at the "Book of the Law" and why it was placed in the side of the Ark, transforming it into the Ark of the Testimony. The study further explores how Jesus Christ did not abolish these instructions but, as Mr. Heiss points out, "magnified" them. By looking at the Sermon on the Mount, we see how the Law was elevated from physical actions to the intents of the heart. Michael concludes by reminding us of the profound words of Isaiah: "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them." Join Mr. Michael Heiss for this compelling study as he encourages us to live by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God, finding light and direction through His divine instructionContact Us: https://www.cbcg.org/contactus.html* FREE OFFER:God's Plan for Mankind—Second EditionRevealed by His Sabbath and Holy Days: https://www.cbcg.org/special-offer-godsplan.htmlBooks: https://www.cbcg.org/books.htmlBooklets: https://www.cbcg.org/booklets/booklets.htmlMessages Index: https://www.cbcg.org/sermon-index.html

GTM - Go To MeetingGTM – Anger and Hatred -BY:Lindsay Stephens-Twin Sins to Overcome Lindsay Stephens -01/16/2026In this profound "Go to Meeting" session, speaker Lindsay Stephens explores the volatile landscape of our modern world to address two of the most destructive forces facing humanity today: anger and hatred. MR Stephens identifies these "twin sins" as emotions fueled by deep-seated issues such as societal divisions, injustice, fear, and the toxic influence of online echo chambers that amplify negativity. Throughout the script, Lindsay observes that while anger may sometimes be a reaction to pain, hatred thrives on a dangerous "us versus them" mentality that dehumanizes others. Lindsay Stephens provides a clear biblical definition of these emotions, tracing the word "anger" back to its Old Norse roots, meaning grief and vexation. He contrasts human hostility with "righteous anger," citing passages such as Psalm 7:11 to show that God is a righteous judge who is indignant toward sin every day. MR Stephens further illustrates the consequences of turning away from God by examining the life of Solomon in First Kings 11, where God’s righteous anger was kindled because Solomon's heart had turned toward the abominations of foreign gods despite being blessed with direct appearances from the Lord. In this teaching, Lindsay challenges believers to evaluate how much they are being affected by the increasing intensity of external global events. He reminds the audience that since Satan is currently the "god of this world," we must be vigilant in keeping our emotions under control through the power of God. This video serves as a vital guide for anyone seeking to understand the biblical perspective on justice, repentance, and the spiritual discipline required to overcome the darkness of the current age.Contact Us: https://www.cbcg.org/contactus.html* FREE OFFER:God's Plan for Mankind—Second EditionRevealed by His Sabbath and Holy Days: https://www.cbcg.org/special-offer-godsplan.htmlBooks: https://www.cbcg.org/books.htmlBooklets: https://www.cbcg.org/booklets/booklets.htmlMessages Index: https://www.cbcg.org/sermon-index.html

GTM – Refined by the Word of the Lord – 11/22/25 – Tom Fannin- In this moving session of GoTo Meeting, speaker Tom Fannin tOM explores the profound spiritual process of how God and Jesus Christ use their Word to refine those He has called. Drawing deeply from the life of Joseph in Psalm 105, Mr. Fannin illustrates how even in moments of distress, imprisonment, and injustice, God is actively safeguarding and preparing His people for a much greater purpose. The message highlights that refinement is rarely an easy process; it requires removing unwanted impurities and yielding to the "implanted word" to save our lives and build the character of Christ. Throughout the study, Tom Fannin connects various scriptural accounts—from the repentance of David to the trials of King Hezekiah—to show that God must truly know what is in our hearts. He explains that these trials are not meant to destroy us but to produce the "peaceable fruits of righteousness." By examining the example of Jesus Christ, who learned obedience through suffering, Mr. Fannin encourages believers to hold fast to their covenant and the promises of God without wavering. The ultimate goal of this refinement, as Tom Fannin emphasizes, is to prepare the "firstfruits" to participate in the first resurrection. This special calling is a preparation to be kings and priests who will rule and reign with Christ for a thousand years. Whether you are currently facing a difficult trial or seeking a deeper understanding of your spiritual journey, this message provides a roadmap for understanding God’s hand in your life. Join Mr. Fannin as he concludes with a powerful look at the book of Daniel, reminding us that those who are wise will understand God’s plan and shine as the stars forever and ever.Contact Us: https://www.cbcg.org/contactus.html* FREE OFFER:God's Plan for Mankind—Second EditionRevealed by His Sabbath and Holy Days: https://www.cbcg.org/special-offer-godsplan.htmlBooks: https://www.cbcg.org/books.htmlBooklets: https://www.cbcg.org/booklets/booklets.htmlMessages Index: https://www.cbcg.org/sermon-index.html

GTM –Repentance !!! – By Lyall Johnston - 01/31/2025Hello! I'd be happy to help you create compelling, well-optimized materials for your YouTube video featuring Lyall Johnston. The clear focus of the message is the vital, deep nature of repentance.TranscriptIn this compelling message, Mr. Lyall Johnston dives deep into the profound and necessary subject of Repentance!!!, emphasizing that it is a lifelong, ongoing process that is fundamentally misunderstood by mainstream Christianity. The three exclamation points in the title highlight the deep level of turning God seeks from His saints.Lyall explains that the popular belief that God's law has been done away with is the primary reason the world cannot understand true repentance. Without the law, there is no definition of sin. Mr. Johnston stresses that simply "accepting Jesus into your heart" is insufficient; true conversion requires turning from sin and entering a permanent covenant with God.He describes the Christian journey as a "beettle stage" leading to spiritual birth in the Kingdom of God, and the core necessity of this development is deep repentance. The message covers key topics, including the danger of denominations like the Church of England who deny God's laws, the certainty of the second death for the unrepentant (like idolaters and fornicators), and the paramount need for daily prayer to conquer the "sin that dwells within."Mr. Jhonston concludes by reminding those who are baptized of their commitment to bury their old, sinful self, and he encourages them to pursue the perfection that secures their place as sons and daughters in the ages of eternity.Contact Us: https://www.cbcg.org/contactus.html* FREE OFFER:God's Plan for Mankind—Second EditionRevealed by His Sabbath and Holy Days: https://www.cbcg.org/special-offer-godsplan.htmlBooks: https://www.cbcg.org/books.htmlBooklets: https://www.cbcg.org/booklets/booklets.htmlMessages Index: https://www.cbcg.org/sermon-index.html

GTM –God’s DNA – By Michael Heiss - 01/10/2025 Join speaker Michael Heiss in this deeply insightful message as he explores a truly unique concept: God's DNA. While not physical DNA, this powerful metaphor reveals the thoughts, feelings, and nature that motivate the Father and the Son to do what they do.Mr. Heiss explains that God’s ultimate, long-term goal is the Kingdom of Heaven, referencing the parables of the treasure hidden in a field and the precious pearl to illustrate the overwhelming value God places on it—a value so great that He gave His own Son. This central motivation stems from an eternal characteristic: God is love. Mr. Heiss defines this love as an outgoing concern, an endless desire for the uplifting and betterment of others, which is woven into the very fabric of the universe He created, including humans, animals, and even the "creepy crawlies."But what about sin and justice? Michael Heiss delves into the three stages of sin—iniquity (wrong thinking), transgression (rebellion), and the sinful act—and shows how God, though a God of law and justice, is first and foremost merciful. Drawing on the book of Exodus, Mr. Heiss emphasizes that God is “merciful and gracious, long-suffering, abundant in goodness and truth.” It is in His nature to forgive upon genuine repentance. He wants all men to be saved and finds "no delight in the death of the wicked."This powerful script by Michael Heiss challenges us to understand the profound love and devotion demonstrated by the Son in laying down his life and the Father's relentless, compassionate desire to have us as part of His family. It is a stirring exploration of the selfless sacrifice at the core of the Christian faith.Contact Us: https://www.cbcg.org/contactus.html* FREE OFFER:God's Plan for Mankind—Second EditionRevealed by His Sabbath and Holy Days: https://www.cbcg.org/special-offer-godsplan.htmlBooks: https://www.cbcg.org/books.htmlBooklets: https://www.cbcg.org/booklets/booklets.htmlMessages Index: https://www.cbcg.org/sermon-index.html

We who have been called into the Church of the Firstborn have been given an incredible blessing, but what about the rest of the world?Lindsay Stephens explores what our mindset should be as we return to our daily lives.

This message confirms God's desire for all mankind to come to the knowledge of the truth.The core of this sermon focuses on the second resurrection and the Great White Throne Judgment, a time when billions of people—an estimated 200 billion who have lived since Adam—will be resurrected.

This will be their new beginning, a period of learning and growth where past sins will be forgotten, and they will be judged according to their works in this second life.Mr. Stephens reminds us that "with God, nothing shall be impossible."

GTM – Hems and Corners By Michael Heiss - 08/29/2025 TranscriptHappy greetings, everyone! Join Michael Heiss in this inspiring and insightful message as he explores a unique and often-overlooked healing story from the Bible. In his signature style, Mr. Heiss guides us through the scriptures, examining several of Jesus's healings before focusing on the truly remarkable account of the woman with the flow of blood. This woman, after suffering for twelve years, found her healing not through a word or a touch from Jesus but through her own deep faith and belief, which led her to touch the hem of his garment.Drawing parallels from a boy's toy train to the concept of plugging into a power source, Michael Heiss explains how this woman’s intentional action accessed God's healing power directly. He reveals the significance of the "hem of the garment" as a fulfillment of biblical prophecy and a symbol of God's covenantal promises, showing the concept of "healing in his wings."This teaching transcends the physical and offers a powerful lesson for believers today. Mr. Heiss challenges us to stir up our faith and "struggle" (a Hebrew concept he explores) to access God's spiritual power in our daily lives through prayer, Bible study, and good works. Just as the woman's strong belief led to action and a miraculous outcome, we too must actively seek to defy the spiritual "gravity" of the world, the flesh, and the adversary. This profound message encourages us to follow her noble example and live by faith, striving to draw closer to the source of all power and healing.Contact Us: https://www.cbcg.org/contactus.html* FREE OFFER:God's Plan for Mankind—Second EditionRevealed by His Sabbath and Holy Days: https://www.cbcg.org/special-offer-godsplan.htmlBooks: https://www.cbcg.org/books.htmlBooklets: https://www.cbcg.org/booklets/booklets.htmlMessages Index: https://www.cbcg.org/sermon-index.html

In this insightful video, Mr. Stephens delves into Exodus 20:16, "You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor," revealing how this seemingly simple command underpins the very fabric of human interaction and our relationship with truth.Lindsay Stephens highlights how easily this commandment is broken in our daily lives, especially with the pervasive influence of modern communication platforms like Facebook, X, TikTok, YouTube, and Reddit. He explains the dangers of false accusations, abundant rumors, and the rarity of accountability in these digital spaces. The message emphasizes the seriousness of accepting and, even more so, passing on unverified information, urging viewers to exercise extreme care in what they speak and post.Drawing from scriptures like Ephesians 4 and Isaiah 59, Mr. Stephens illustrates the corrupting nature of rumors and false accusations, contrasting them with the edifying power of truth, kindness, and forgiveness. He unpacks the negative consequences of breaking God's commandments, focusing specifically on the ninth, and reveals how society, particularly "modern Israel," has strayed from truth and justice, leading to crooked paths and a lack of peace.Mr. Stephens provides a detailed breakdown of the Ninth Commandment's implications, covering everything from legal testimony to personal relationships and the importance of assuming the best in others.

GTM – And God RememberedBy Michael Heiss - 07/25/2025TranscriptHave you ever read the phrase “And God remembered” in the Bible and wondered what it means? In this insightful online sermon, Michael Heiss unpacks this common yet profound expression, revealing a meaning that goes far beyond simple memory. Mr. Heiss explains that this phrase is not about God overcoming a moment of forgetfulness, but is rather a powerful Hebraic linguistic signal that God is about to take decisive action.Throughout this message, Michael Heiss guides us through scripture to illustrate this powerful truth. We witness God “remembering” Noah, not by recalling him, but by acting to subside the floodwaters and establish an everlasting covenant sealed by the rainbow. The journey continues as God “remembers” Abraham by acting to save Lot from Sodom, and as He “remembers” the desperate, heartfelt prayer of Hannah, blessing her with a son, Samuel, and many more children.The sermon culminates in the most powerful example of all: the New Covenant. Here, Mr. Heiss explains, God performs the ultimate act of “remembering” by choosing to “remember our sins no more.” It’s a profound paradox where God’s greatest action is to forget, offering complete forgiveness and a future unburdened by past mistakes. Join Michael Heiss for a message that will transform how you view Godnot as a passive observer, but as a dynamic, loving, and ever-present God who remembers His people through powerful, redemptive action.Contact Us: https://www.cbcg.org/contactus.html* FREE OFFER:God's Plan for Mankind—Second EditionRevealed by His Sabbath and Holy Days: https://www.cbcg.org/special-offer-godsplan.htmlBooks: https://www.cbcg.org/books.htmlBooklets: https://www.cbcg.org/booklets/booklets.htmlMessages Index: https://www.cbcg.org/sermon-index.html

GTM – When Being Right Isn’t Right By Norbert Bohnert - 07/18/2025TranscriptIn this thought-provoking message, Norbert Bohnert explores a subject that challenges our preconceived notions of what it means to be "right" on our spiritual journey. Drawing from powerful scriptures like 1 Corinthians 10 vs. 12, Mr. Bohnert highlights the subtle dangers of self-deception and the human tendency to always appear correct. He emphasizes that "doing right" and the "need to be right" are fundamentally different, and the latter can often lead us astray from God's intended path.Mr. Bohnert encourages a profound shift in perspective, moving from a one-dimensional, inward-focused view of life to a humble, God-centered approach. He reminds us that God did not call us because we "had it all figured out," but rather to listen, learn, and grow. Through insightful references to Paul's letters and the teachings of Jesus in Matthew, Norbert Bohnert meticulously breaks down how our obsession with being right can hinder personal growth, lead to judgmental attitudes, and even create divisiveness within the community.This message is a crucial call for self-examination, urging us to question our well-worn responses and instead ask, "Am I wise?" rather than "Am I right?" Mr. Bohnert highlights that true wisdom, as described in James 3, is characterized by humility, peace, gentleness, and a willingness to yield, steering clear of self-seeking ambition. Ultimately, Norbert Bohnert underscores that only through humility and a consistent reliance on God's Holy Spirit can we truly align with God's will and move forward on the path He has prepared for us.Contact Us: https://www.cbcg.org/contactus.html* FREE OFFER:God's Plan for Mankind—Second EditionRevealed by His Sabbath and Holy Days: https://www.cbcg.org/special-offer-godsplan.htmlBooks: https://www.cbcg.org/books.htmlBooklets: https://www.cbcg.org/booklets/booklets.htmlMessages Index: https://www.cbcg.org/sermon-index.html

Mr. Bohnert begins by illustrating how easily we can misunderstand people, situations, or principles when we only observe them superficially.

GTM – Be Angry and Do Not Sin By Tom Fannin - 05/31/2025Transcript:In this thoughtful pre-Pentecost message, Tom Fannin explores a crucial aspect of our spiritual growth: how we react when we are made angry or provoked. He frames the discussion around the biblical instruction in Ephesians 4 to "be angry, and do not sin," guiding viewers on a deep dive into what it truly means to control our spirit and honor God, even when under immense pressure.Mr. Fannin centers his sermon on a detailed examination of Moses at the "waters of strife" from Numbers 20. He skillfully explains that Moses's critical error was not simply striking the rock instead of speaking to it, but his failure to "sanctify God" before the Israelites. Through his rash words—"Must we bring water for you out of this rock?"—Moses took credit and acted out of personal frustration rather than reverence for God's power. Using supporting scriptures from the Psalms, Mr. Fannin reveals the profound personal cost of that momentary loss of control.Connecting this powerful Old Testament lesson to our lives today, Tom Fannin highlights the examples of Christ and the instructions of the apostles to be slow to speak, slow to anger, and to operate not in our own strength, but through the "power of Christ" that dwells in us. This sermon is a compelling reminder that as called-out first fruits, our duty is to sanctify God in all that we do, providing a practical, biblical framework for developing the meekness and reverence required of all who seek to follow in Christ's footsteps.Contact Us: https://www.cbcg.org/contactus.html* FREE OFFER:God's Plan for Mankind—Second EditionRevealed by His Sabbath and Holy Days: https://www.cbcg.org/special-offer-godsplan.htmlBooks: https://www.cbcg.org/books.htmlBooklets: https://www.cbcg.org/booklets/booklets.htmlMessages Index: https://www.cbcg.org/sermon-index.html

GTM – Leadership in the Body of Christ By Lyall Johnston - 05/30/2025Transcript:In this insightful and timely message, Lyall Johnston tackles the critical subject of "Leadership in the Body of Christ," exploring the structure and purpose of ministry as ordained by God. Mr. Johnston begins by addressing a foundational question that has caused confusion in many churches: Are there apostles in the church today? He provides a clear biblical answer, explaining that while the original human apostles were unique witnesses to Christ's resurrection, the ultimate and living Apostle and High Priest of our faith is Jesus Christ himself.Drawing extensively from the scriptures, particularly the books of Titus, 1 Timothy, and Ephesians, Lyall Johnston carefully outlines the God-given role and qualifications of elders and ministers. He emphasizes that their primary purpose is not to seek power or control, but to serve as humble shepherds under the authority of the Chief Shepherd, Jesus Christ. This service has a twofold objective: to "feed the flock" with sound doctrine from the Word of God and to "protect the flock" from the dangers of false teachers, divisive individuals, and heresies that seek to subvert whole households.Mr. Johnston passionately explains that the ultimate reason God established elders in the church is for the "perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ." The goal is to bring all believers to a unity of faith and a mature understanding of the Son of God. This sermon is a powerful call for both leaders and congregation members to embrace their respective roles with humility, diligence, and a steadfast focus on imitating Christ, the one true Head of the Church.Contact Us: https://www.cbcg.org/contactus.html* FREE OFFER:God's Plan for Mankind—Second EditionRevealed by His Sabbath and Holy Days: https://www.cbcg.org/special-offer-godsplan.htmlBooks: https://www.cbcg.org/books.htmlBooklets: https://www.cbcg.org/booklets/booklets.htmlMessages Index: https://www.cbcg.org/sermon-index.html

GTM – Humility By Ray Murray – 05/23/2025Transcript:Join Ray Murray in this profound exploration of a spiritual attribute absolutely essential for every believer: humility. As Mr. Murray explains, direct from New Zealand, humility is inextricably linked to conversion, and Christ Himself stated that without these qualities, seeing the Kingdom of God is impossible. Ray Murray delves deep into scripture, beginning with Matthew 18, where Jesus calls us to become as little children, emphasizing that true greatness in Heaven comes through humbling oneself.Throughout this insightful message, Ray Murray examines key passages, including Isaiah 57, revealing how God dwells with the contrite and humble, and 2 Chronicles 7, highlighting God's promise to hear and heal when His people humble themselves and pray. Mr. Murray also powerfully contrasts humility with its destructive opposite, pride, drawing potent lessons from Ezekiel 28 (the fall of the Prince of Tyre, representing Satan's influence) and Genesis 3 (humanity's original deception through pride). Ray explores the critical 'battle for our minds' discussed in 2 Corinthians 10 and the ultimate emptiness of a life lived without God, as detailed in Ecclesiastes.With further compelling references to Revelation 3 (the lukewarm Laodicean church) and Christ's supreme example of humility in Philippians 2, Ray Murray passionately calls listeners to sincere self-examination. This sermon is an encouragement to understand that it is God who works within us, urging a zealous repentance and the consistent adoption of a humble spirit—the very foundation for inheriting God's promises, experiencing true peace, and making what Ray calls 'the best decision.Contact Us: https://www.cbcg.org/contactus.html* FREE OFFER:God's Plan for Mankind—Second EditionRevealed by His Sabbath and Holy Days: https://www.cbcg.org/special-offer-godsplan.htmlBooks: https://www.cbcg.org/books.htmlBooklets: https://www.cbcg.org/booklets/booklets.htmlMessages Index: https://www.cbcg.org/sermon-index.html

GTM – Lessons from the book of Job – Part 2 By Eduardo Elizondo – 05/17/2025Join Eduardo Elizondo in this second installment of our "Lessons from the Book of Job" series as we continue to explore one of the oldest and most profound books of the Bible. In this sermon, Mr. Elizondo clarifies some historical context around Job's life, placing him closer to the time of Esau and Jacob, before diving deep into Job's incredible journey of suffering and spiritual transformation.Eduardo unpacks key passages, starting from Job 14, to reveal how Job's intense trials, though inflicted by Satan, were allowed by God for a greater purpose: refinement. We'll examine Job's raw lamentations, his initial misunderstandings about his affliction, and his surprising declarations of faith in the resurrection and God's ultimate desire for His people.A central theme of this message is the revelation of self-righteousness. Eduardo Elizondo powerfully highlights Job's statements about his own integrity and good works, using them as a crucial lesson for us today: our own righteousness is insufficient before God. It's the righteousness of Jesus Christ that truly justifies us. Mr. Elizondo emphasizes that God allows the "refining fire" of trials to expose our hidden pride and lead us to a place of true humility, much like Job's eventual declaration in Job 42:6: "Therefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes." This sermon is a powerful reminder that our lives are about conversion and change, and that God's loving hand is always at work, even in our deepest pain, to perfect us and draw us closer to Him.Contact Us: https://www.cbcg.org/contactus.html* FREE OFFER:God's Plan for Mankind—Second EditionRevealed by His Sabbath and Holy Days: https://www.cbcg.org/special-offer-godsplan.htmlBooks: https://www.cbcg.org/books.htmlBooklets: https://www.cbcg.org/booklets/booklets.htmlMessages Index: https://www.cbcg.org/sermon-index.html

Denial of the Power of God – The Holy SpiritBy Norbert Bohnert – 05/03/2025In this compelling message, Norbert Bohnert delves into the profound nature and critical importance of the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer. Mr. Bohnert begins by exploring the Holy Spirit as the very power of God, a "priceless gift" likened to invisible yet potent electricity, given to impart not fear, but power, love, and a sound mind.Norbert Bohnert passionately argues that our attitude is key to experiencing this divine power. He draws a sharp contrast between a life governed by self-centeredness and one characterized by selflessness. The sermon powerfully illustrates the dire consequences of denying, grieving, or lying to the Holy Spirit through the sobering biblical account of Ananias and Sapphira, who prioritized pretense and personal gain, leading to their swift judgment. This serves as a timeless warning against hypocrisy and the danger of having a name for being alive but being spiritually dead, as was the case for some in the church of Sardis. Mr. Bohnert emphasizes that such actions can lead to one's name being blotted from the Book of Life.Conversely, Norbert highlights the path to true spiritual vitality through selflessness, exemplified by King Solomon's humble request for wisdom to serve others. This selfless approach, Mr. Bohnert explains, is what "stirs up" the Holy Spirit, unleashing its transformative power for miraculous change in our lives. This message is a crucial call for self-examination, urging believers to move beyond a "fast of selfishness" and embrace a selfless attitude, allowing the Holy Spirit to guide, heal, and empower us to live according to God's will and reflect His glory.

GTM – What’s in a Name? By Michael Heiss - 05/02/2025This video features Michael Heiss exploring the profound significance and power held within names, particularly in the Bible. Mr. Heiss begins by examining the meanings of various biblical names, including Michael, Gabriel, Elizabeth, and Zacharias, highlighting how these names often reflect character or destiny. He then delves into the powerful name of Jesus, or Yeshua in Hebrew, explaining its meaning as "He who saves" and connecting it to Christ's mission of salvation.A significant portion of Michael's discussion focuses on the divine names of God, such as Yahweh or Adonai, revealing their deep meaning as "I AM," the self-existing, eternal one who brings all things into existence. He contrasts this with the gods of paganism, believed to emerge from pre-existing material. Michael Heiss also explores how God renamed individuals like Abram to Abraham ("father of nations") and Jacob to Israel ("striven with God"), demonstrating God's transformative work in their lives.Drawing on the story of David and Goliath, Michael emphasizes the power of acting in the name of the Lord of hosts, highlighting that true strength comes from God's authority and power. He concludes by discussing the immense power encapsulated in the name of Jesus, the commander of the heavenly hosts, stressing the importance of fully grasping this power when we call upon His name.
