United Church of God RaleighWhat God Has CleansedMany people think of the concept of clean versus unclean as a relic of the old covenant which is no longer relevant. But, considering some things to be clean and some unclean... some things common and some things holy is very much a part of new covenant teaching and understanding. Today we are going to look into the new covenant perspective on clean versus unclean using the vision Peter experienced in Joppa as our starting point.

United Church of God RaleighNew Covenant TithingSome say we can ignore any OT commandments, rules, or requirements previously issued by YHWH unless they are reiterated in the new testament. We (UCG) do not agree with, or use, this formula. But, since it is so popular we are willing to address certain points of God's instruction for living using these humanly devised standards.

Weekly Sabbath SermonFinancial Security and Peace of Mind Money itself is neutral, neither intrinsically good of bad. Love of money, the pursuit of wealth and stuff… that’s what is bad. If we have the wrong mental outlook on money we can be guilty of covetousness, or idolatry. If we have the right mental focus on money it can be a wonderful vehicle for us to learn important spiritual lessons and practice God like patterns of thought.

Like we see with the example of Jesus mourning for Lazarus… God enters into our grief, He feels it. Yet He also wants to reassure us that all is not lost.
