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. Today, let’s discuss the case for tithing in the new covenant. Get a FREE copy of our eBook "What Really Happens After Death?"

United Church of God RaleighThe 1000 Year Millennial Rule of Christ on Earth - Truth or HeresyThe Church of God teaches and proclaims a coming 1,000 year millennial rule of Christ on earth. We consider it an important phase of God's plan of salvation and spiritual birth into His family. This fall we will celebrate the biblical festival called the Feast of Tabernacles. That celebration will include plenty of talk and instruction about this interesting 1,000 year time period called "the millennium".Christ’s return is spoken of throughout the bible. The specifics of a 1,000 year earthly rule is built upon a reading of Revelation 20:1-6.Pointing believers towards the expectation of a 1,000 year millennium may seem like an obs...

Various non-biblical cultures have their own ideas about life after death. Christians, Jews, Muslims have their ideas about death.

➤ God’s command to wipe out the Canaanites Deuteronomy 20:16-17
➤ Religious exclusivity and forbidding intermarriage with other nations Numbers 25:1-3, Nehemiah 13:23-30

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.

Weekly Sabbath SermonGrief A Normal Part of the Human Experience God sees our grief. When we grieve He does not think of us as weak, lacking in faith. 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.
