The Festival of Weeks, which is called Pentecost in the New Testament, pictures the third phase of becoming an immortal spirit-being in the Family of God. The first two phases are the forgiveness of one's sins, pictured by the Passover, and the Days of Unleavened Bread which picture beginning and living a godly lifestyle.
First Day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread (2023) - Why are We Here Today? -- PDF Transcript | MP3
We whom the Sovereign Father has called to salvation and who have been granted the indwelling of his spirit have much to be thankful for and much to contemplate as we attempt to fulfill the purpose of our calling. We who are the Sovereign Father's first-born should take care how we live our lives, understanding the opportunity that we have been given to become immortal god-beings in the Kingdom of God. Therefore, let us follow the apostle Paul's instructed in 1.Cor. 5:7-8: "Purge out therefore the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, as you are unleavened. For even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us: Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth."
The immortal God and Creator of all things who possessed the highest form of existence emptied himself of his glory, his power, and his immortality to become a mortal man subject to death. Jesus knew that he had come into this world for the express purpose of dying for the sins of humanity.
What is the message that Jesus Christ brought over 1900 years ago and why should you pay any attention to it? Does this ancient message have any relevance to you and your loved ones today?
Is the universe and all that exists in it an incredible cosmic accident or is there a purpose for its existence? When our lives come to an end, do we cease to exist forever or is there hope of a future beyond the grave?
These and many other questions concerning the reasons for the creation of this dimension of existence, its human inhabitants, and the cataclysmic earth shaking events of the near future will be answered in this audio message.
Just what is the grace and mercy of God? Are these just religious sounding words that have no relevance to the reality of life today or in the future? Or do these words convey important aspects of the Sovereign God's good news message for mankind.
This audio message reveals how and why the Sovereign God's seldom understood traits of grace and mercy have a major impact on the eternal destiny of you and your loved ones.
Exactly what is this Great Commission that Jesus gave his disciples before going to heaven? Is it the gospel message? If it is the gospel message, to whom is this gospel message directed? And what will be accomplished by proclaiming the gospel message?
The biblical answer to these questions may surprise you, because they are not what is taught in most professing Christian churches today. This audio message explains what the Great Commission is and is not.
What was so important that the Creator God thought it necessary to divest himself of his immortality and come to earth to live among mankind and then allow his creation to murder him? Why did the apostle Paul make the crucifixion of Jesus Christ the central theme of his ministry? Why did Paul feel that the crucifixion of Jesus outweighed all of the other things that could be said about him?
Listen to this audio message for the surprising answers to these questions.
What should be readily apparent to any thinking individual is that Christianity as practiced today does not seem to have the solutions to the world's problems.
People desperately want what professing Christianity says it can deliver to them. The problem is that professing Christianity has not delivered and does not seem to be able to deliver its promised benefits.
Could the reason be that most of professing Christianity is not teaching the good news message Christ taught? Listen to this audio message for the surprising answer to this question.
Is belief in Jesus Christ as one's personal savior the only requirement to be saved from eternal death and enter the kingdom of heaven? Or is there more to being saved from eternal death than just belief? The answer from the Bible is yes. There is much more to obtaining salvation than a profession of belief.
This audio message reveals that salvation is a process which must be followed if a person is to obtain salvation.
The reality of death is one of the most terrifying realities of this human experience. No matter what we do or how hard we try to preserve our life, we will die. But is death the end or is there life after your physical death?
According to the Bible physical death is not the end. The Sovereign God has provided a way for you to live forever if you will believe his good news message.
Who is the God that Jesus Christ called the Father? Today, the identity of God the Father and Jesus Christ is a great mystery to most of humanity, including most professing Christians. Is God the Father a great mystery to you? Do you know who God the Father is? Do you understand the many reasons that he sent Jesus Christ to earth?
General Interest
The concept of going to heaven immediately after death is almost a universally accepted teaching among the world's Christian religions. To even question this teaching would seem like blasphemy to many who believe heaven is the reward of the saved.
But does the Bible support this popular teaching? The answer is no. However, what is found in the Bible about the rewards offered to the saved is far more exciting than the nebulous idea of going to heaven without a clue as to what you would do there for eternity.
For centuries, in order to motivate converts and prospective converts to strive to "get to heaven" when they die, religious leaders have tried to frighten them with the threat of eternal punishment in a place called Hell. As fearful as many people are of going to Hell, most people do not have the slightest understanding of what the Bible actually teaches about this subject.
Does the Bible actually teach an ever-burning hell-fire where people are punished forever? Or is this belief and teaching not even in the Bible?
One of the most misunderstood subjects in the Bible is the state of the dead. The main barrier to gaining a clear understanding of this subject is the teaching which assumes that humans have an immortal soul and that, at death, this soul goes to heaven, hell, paradise, or someplace in between. Surprisinly this teaching cannot be supported by Bible. Listen to this audio message to find out what the Bible actually says about the state of the dead.
For centuries, professing Christian churches have tried to get their converts to set their sights on going to heaven when they die. But, do the saved go to heaven when they die?
The references to Enoch being translated so he would not see death and the prophet Elijah being carried into the heavens by a chariot of fire are often used in an attempt to prove that, at death, people go to heaven to live with God and the angles.
The prophetic parable of the ten virgins in Matthew, chapter 25 contains extremely serious warnings to anyone who is serious about their call to salvation and entering the Family and Kingdom of God as an immortal spirit-being.
This audio message reveals and explains some little known and understood information concerning this prophetic parable and the people that it is meant to warn.
One of the most popular theories that is almost universally believed by professing Christianity is that Christ will secretly come to gather the saints and take them to heaven in order to protect them from the great tribulation.
Is this theory fact or fiction? Will Christ secretly come and take away the saints before the great tribulation? Or will most of those who truly follow the Sovereign God of the Bible have to endure much of Christ's punishment that he pours out on the nations of earth before he establishes his Father's kingdom on earth?
This audio message reveals that, according to the Bible, Christ's coming will be neither secret nor silent and many of God's people will be punished along with the rest of humanity. It also points out how you can escape being punished with the rest of humanity.
Did the early church make a practice of collecting tithes? Or did the law of tithing apply only to ancient Israel and therefore has no validity for Christians today?
This audio message is not a plea for money. The information contained in this message will help you to clearly understand why the teaching of tithing as practiced by the majority of the professing Christian community today is not a biblical teaching.
The thing that comes to the minds of most people when they hear the word tithing is money. In many of today's professing Christian churches, money is talked about as much, if not more, than the message of Christ.
Was the law of tithing practiced by the early church? Is the law of tithing binding upon true Christians today? If you pay tithes and have wondered why some people do not practice tithing.
The information contained in this audio message will help you to clearly understand whether the teaching of tithing as practiced by the majority of the professing Christian community today is Fact, Fiction, or Fraud.
Is Today the Only Day of Salvation?
Most people who profess to believe the Bible, believe that today is the only day of salvation. But this belief is not compatible with what was taught by the prophets, Jesus Christ, and the apostles about the Sovereign God's plan to offer the opportunity of salvation to all of mankind.
This audio message explains the Sovereign God's plan to offer the opportunity of salvation to all people who have lived and died throughout the centuries who have never yet been offered salvation.
Law
The question of our obligation to keep God's commandments has been the subject of many heated arguments since the demise and disappearance of the early church. For centuries, theologians have taught that the followers of Christ no longer need to keep the Ten Commandments or any of the laws that the Creator God gave to ancient Israel, because the sacrifice of Christ canceled these laws and released mankind from any obligation to practice them.
Is this true? Were God's laws canceled at the death of Christ? Are these laws important or not?
Today, prisons are filled with people who are there to be punished for the unlawfully taking of another person's life. And many will spend the rest of their natural life locked away from society for their crime, while some will be released back into society. But what does the Bible actually say about people who commit murder and the punishment that is to be applied?
Today, the world is filled with hatred, murder, violence, wars, lying, cheating, sexual perversion, and promiscuity, yet most professing Christians claim that they are not required to strictly practice God's laws that prohibits these destructive behaviors.
Even Bible scholars, theologians, and other people who profess to follow the teaching of the Bible do not believe or teach that strict adherence to God's laws, precepts, and principles is necessary to please God or to obtain eternal and immortal life.
Can you live your life as you please and still be assured of entry into the Kingdom of God? If you are seriously concerned about your eternal destiny, the biblical answer to this question is vitally important to you and is clearly explained in this audio message.
People who profess to follow the teachings of the Bible are clearly divided into two categories: Those who believe that God's laws, precepts, and principles should be practiced, and those who believe that, although these laws, precepts, and principles are good concepts, strict practice of them is not necessary to obtain salvation and enter the Kingdom of God.
Does it really matter if you strictly practice biblical laws or not? Are there blessings for their practice? Are there any penalties for their violation?
According to God's law, adultery is a capital crime and is punishable by death. But is it too harsh, or does the punishment fit this crime against one's mate, against one's family, and against society? Listen to this audio message for the surprising and informative answers to this question.
Prophecy
It should be obvious to anyone who follows world events, that humanity is on the brink of destruction, and that we are living in the final chapter of human existence. The really good news is that the Kingdom of God is coming as an all-powerful, world-ruling government to solve all of humanity's problems in a fair and equitable manner with true justice and liberty for all: a government not ruled by selfishly motivated humans, but a government ruled by the righteous, all-powerful, Family of God. The good news Jesus Christ brought was an advance announcement about the soon-coming Kingdom of God and how to participate in it as a son of God.
One of the most misunderstood topics of the Bible is the resurrection of the dead when Christ returns. Most people do not even begin to comprehend the magnitude of the events that surround this climactic event or its importance in the overall plan of God for the future of humanity. The first resurrection will undoubtedly be one of the most awesome and glorious events to ever take place.
This audio message explains several of the cataclysmic, earthshaking events which will occur the day that Jesus returns to the earth.
In both the Old and New Testaments, there are many references to the coming of the Messiah who will bring the Kingdom of God to earth and peace and prosperity to humanity. Does anyone know when Messiah will return?
Believe it or not, the Bible does document the exact date of Messiah's return; however, this date will only be recognized by those who understand specific biblical prophecies and the sequence in which these prophecies are to occur.
This audio message discusses the sequence of prophecies that will occur before the return of the Messiah.
Revelation chapter 20, verses 4 and 5, speak of two major resurrections that will occur: one at Christ's return and the other a thousand years later.
Those who are in this first resurrection are easily identified, but who are the rest of the dead mentioned at the end of verse 5, and why are they resurrected after a thousand years of Christ's reign on earth?
What the Bible actually says about the fate of wicked humans and what is popularly believed and taught by most professing Christians today is not the same.
The popular teaching today is that people who are not found worthy to enter into heaven will live on into eternity and suffer some kind of eternal torture by God. But is this true or is the teaching of eternal punishing a lie?
In the Book of Revelation, we read that people who participate in the first resurrection are blessed and holy. And the writer to the Hebrews says that some people will participate in a better resurrection. Is there more than one resurrection spoken of in the Bible? Just what is the first and better resurrection?
If you do not know the answers to these questions you might want to pay careful attention to the information contained in this broadcast, because you will hear things that very few understand or teach about the awesome opportunity that is being offered during the gospel age of salvation.

The popular teaching today is that people who are not found worthy to enter into heaven will live on into eternity and suffer some kind of eternal torture by God. But is this true or is the teaching of eternal punishing a lie?
Today, there is much confusion and bewilderment within both the Jewish and Christian religions as to the exact meaning and intent of much of the Bible.
This audio message explains when the prophecy recorded in the Book of Amos concerning this lack of biblical understanding came into full force and when it will come to an end.
Among other things, the Bible is also a historical record of the past, present, and future of humanity. Depending on who is doing the calculating, the Bible is composed of either two thirds or one quarter prophecy. Regardless of the exact amount of prophecy contained in the Bible, biblical prophecy is simply history written in advance of the actual event.
This audio message explains the importance of prophecy in proving the existence of God, revealing God's plan for humanity. It also discusses why an understanding of prophecy it is important for certain individuals at certain times in history.
In the Book of Revelation, John records one of the major prophecies that will occur before Christ returns to establish the Sovereign God's religion and government to rule the earth. This prophecy concerns a White Horse and its rider.
If you are living in the end times, if you consider yourself a true follower of God, and if you are serious about your salvation, the prophecy about the White Horse is important to you.
The Seventh Seal noted in the Book of Revelation contains the three woes which bring an end to God's punishment of humanity for their refusal to repent of their wickedness.
The events that take place on earth after this final seal is opened could be avoided if humanity would believe the things that the prophets, Jesus, and the early church taught, as well as the warning and witness of the Sovereign God's servants during the end times.
The Seventh Seal will be opened, so listen to this audio message to discover the way of escape that God has provided for those who pay attention to what he says.
Many extremely important events are taking place in the Middle East that will dramatically impact every inhabitant of this planet, its governments, and its religions. And many of these events were all foretold centuries ago and recorded in the Bible.
This audio message explains the difference between the Jews and the other ten tribes of Israel and what the Bible says will happen to the Jews who occupy the tiny nation of Israel just before Christ returns.
In the Book of Revelation, chapters 2 and 3, there is some vital information about life and death directed to seven groups of people described as the seven churches. If you believe that you are a true Christian and are serious about your eternal destiny, these messages are for your benefit.
This audio message reveals and explains some little known and understood information that is important to your physical and spiritual survival during the end or this age.
The meaning and identity of the prophetic ten toes of iron and clay noted in the Book of Daniel and the ten horns of the prophetic hour noted in the Book of Revelation are very important to understanding the end time events leading up to Christ's return to establish the Kingdom of God on earth.
This audio message reveals the identity of these ten toes and ten horns and explains the symbolism in the prophecies in which they are mentioned.
One of the major events to occur just a few short years before the return of Christ as Conquering King is the appearance of a prophetic entity described as the Great Whore. For centuries, the ability to identify the Great Whore who rides the Beast mentioned in the Book of Revelation has eluded Bible scholars.
Do you know who or what this prophetic entity described as Great Whore is and how to recognize this threat to your physical and spiritual well-being? If not, you can find out by listening to this audio message.
Many are puzzled over the prophecies concerning the descendants of national Israel being collected and brought to the land of ancient Israel. Some feel that these prophecies are simply analogies, but others believe that these prophecies will have a literal fulfillment after Christ returns.
This audio message explains why the modern descendants of ancient Israel who are still alive after Christ returns will be gathered from among the nations of the world and placed back into the land originally given to the tribes of Israel.
Who are the two groups of 144,000 mentioned in the Book of Revelation and is the knowledge of who these prophetic people are of any importance to you and your loved ones? If you are living in the end times, the answer is yes!

The appearance of a third Elijah on the world scene is one of the major events to occur just before the return of Christ as conquering King.
Although most Bible students have read about the prophet Elijah, the office of Elijah, and the prophetic coming of Elijah, few understand that he plays a significant role in delivering a message from the Sovereign God in the end times.
This audio message explains why it is important for you to be able to recognize the prophetic Elijah and his message when he appears on the world scene?
Just before the first resurrection and Christ's return as Conquering King to establish his Father's Kingdom on earth and during the end of this age of human rule on earth, there will be two dynamic and powerful men who proclaim God the Father's good news message from Jerusalem.
For centuries people have searched the scriptures and speculated as to the identity of these two men, because their actions will have a dramatic impact on the whole world during their 3½ year ministry.
Listen to this audio message discusses who the Bible says these two men are and why God is going to send them as a witness to humanity in the near future.
In the very end of this age, the Sovereign God's earthly children will be hated and suffer great persecution because of their proclamation of the gospel message. Will today's professing Christian community be the ones who are persecuted, or will most professing Christians today be the ones doing the persecuting?
The biblical answer to this question found in this audio message is truly surprising, because it is not what is taught in most professing Christian churches today.
