Have you ever wondered what happens to those who lived and died without ever truly understanding God’s plan? What about our relatives, friends, and even children who never had an opportunity to know Him? The Eighth Day reveals a beautiful and encouraging answer. Through the Great White Throne Judgment, God will provide an opportunity for life, understanding, and salvation, offering hope for a future filled with peace, love, and joyful reunions.

How long are we willing to wait for God's promises? It is easy to remain enthusiastic when we see progress, but what happens when years pass and we still haven't reached the goal? The Bible gives us many examples of people who faced that very challenge. Abraham, Noah, Joseph, and others learned to trust God through long periods of waiting. Their examples teach us that genuine faith requires patience, perseverance, and a willingness to keep moving forward without giving up.

Darryl Henson - October 30, 2026 - FOT26 -

Preparation takes time. Throughout the Bible, God tested and refined those He intended to use for His purposes. The rebuilding described in Haggai, Zechariah, and Ezekiel points to a future work that has yet to be fulfilled. But what role does God's people have in that work? And more importantly, what must we be doing now to prepare ourselves? Our calling involves more than preparing a place; it involves becoming spiritually ready for what lies ahead.

Darryl Henson - October 28, 2026 - FOT26 - Choosing God's Way -

There are times when following God requires difficult choices. We may have to choose between personal desires and God's purpose, between what is comfortable and what is right, or between protecting our own interests and remaining faithful to His Word. These decisions can come with real sacrifices, but they also reveal where our priorities lie. As we look at the events that led to the work God began near Zion, we see how He used a series of tests to prepare the way.

Darryl Henson - October 27, 2026 - FOT26 - Seeing God's Hand In Our Lives -

Have you ever looked back over your life and wondered how you arrived at where you are today? Sometimes, when we look back, we begin to recognize events and circumstances that seemed unrelated at the time but may have been part of God's preparation and direction. Understanding how God has worked with us can strengthen our faith and give us a deeper sense of purpose. But recognizing His hand in our lives also brings responsibility. We must continue to grow, overcome, and prepare for what He has promised to do.

Darryl Henson - October 26, 2026 - FOT26

What happens when God’s people lose sight of Him and begin placing their confidence in human leadership? History shows that even a work founded on sound teaching can decline when its focus shifts away from God. But the decline is not the end of the story. In Ezekiel 17, we explore how God describes the failure of one work and the promise of something new—a work that will grow into a mighty tree and ultimately bring blessings to many.

Darryl Henson - October 25, 2026 - FOT26 -

Why are we here for the Feast of Tabernacles? Is it simply to keep the days, enjoy fellowship, and celebrate together, or does God have a greater purpose for us? The Feast pictures the coming Kingdom of God, and it reminds us that we have a responsibility to prepare spiritually for what lies ahead. Through the examples of Israel, the early church, and the prophecies of the last days, we can better understand why God has called us and what He expects us to do.

Darryl Henson - October 24, 2026 -

How can we make this year’s Feast of Tabernacles the best one ever? It begins with more than our plans and physical preparations. We need to prepare our hearts and minds to focus on worshiping God. By putting aside pride, controlling our desires, and learning to love and serve one another, we can make the Feast a time of genuine spiritual growth and joy.

Darryl Henson - October 20, 2026 -

Pride, vanity, and selfishness create divisions in our human relationships and, more importantly, between us and God. The Day of Atonement points to the work of reconciliation—removing those barriers and learning to live in harmony with our Creator. This requires us to examine more than what we have done wrong; we must also consider what needs to change within us. As Paul wrote, we must die daily to our old nature and grow in the character of God. It is a lifelong process of overcoming, learning to serve others, and preparing for the incredible future God has promised.

Throughout Scripture, God gives detailed instructions about garments used in worship and service. One material stands out above the rest: fine linen. Its significance reaches from the tabernacle and the priesthood all the way to Revelation, where the bride of Christ is clothed in fine, white linen, representing the righteousness of the saints. Recognizing God's wisdom in the creation of this beneficial material and His preference for it invites us to reconsider our own modern wardrobes.

Speaker: Darryl Henson - October 11, 1026

Are we paying attention to what Jesus told His disciples about the end times? In Matthew 24, He gave warnings about deception, world events, persecution, and the importance of enduring in faith. Connecting these teachings with the book of Daniel brings us back to the central message of the Feast of Trumpets: to watch, remain faithful, and prepare for the return of Christ and the resurrection of the firstfruits.

Darryl Henson - October 10, 2026

Is There a Contradiction in Prophecy?

Some Bible passages seem to contradict one another until we understand their context and timing. Matthew 24 warns us not to believe claims that Christ is here or there, while Zechariah describes Him dwelling with His people. How do these prophecies fit together, and what can they teach us about the end times?

Darryl Henson - October 3, 2026

From Elijah to Elisha, we see God working through people who trusted Him and were willing to follow His instructions. The healing of Naaman and the other miracles in these accounts remind us that God does things according to His purpose—not necessarily according to our expectations. The key is learning to approach Him with faith, humility, and obedience.

Darryl Henson - September 26, 2026

As we look at the prophecies concerning the end time, one theme becomes especially important: preparation. God calls us to examine our lives, repent, overcome, and bring forth Christ in the way we live. The examples of Elijah, John the Baptist, and others help us understand what that preparation can look like and how we can be ready to follow wherever God leads.

Sermon by Darryl Henson - September 19, 2026 -

What does Elijah’s story teach us about trusting God through uncertainty and hardship? From miraculous provision to the resurrection of a widow’s son, we’ll explore lessons of faith, patience, and God’s purpose for His people.

Darryl Henson - September 12, 2026 - When Jesus read Isaiah 61 in His hometown synagogue, He announced wonderful news—healing, liberty, restoration, and the acceptable year of the Lord. But then He closed the book and stopped reading. Why did He leave out what came next? Looking at Luke 4, Isaiah 61, and the Jubilee laws in Leviticus, this message examines the important distinction between God's blessings and His judgments.

Darryl Henson - September 5, 2026 - Sometimes a passage of Scripture seems strange until we look at it alongside the rest of the Bible. Numbers 21 is one of those passages. Israel complained against God, fiery serpents came among the people, and God instructed Moses to put a bronze serpent on a pole so that those who looked upon it would live. Why would God use a serpent as the means of healing?

The answer becomes clearer as we follow the symbolism through Isaiah, Ezekiel, Revelation, and especially John 3, where Christ Himself connects the serpent lifted up in the wilderness with His own death. What begins as a story of judgment and physical healing becomes a powerful picture of sin, Satan, Christ, and the way to eternal life. It also gives us a sobering reminder to examine our own attitudes and never forget the benefits God has given us.

Darryl Henson - August 29, 2026 - All of us experience physical problems and difficult trials at one time or another. The question is not simply how we can find relief, but what God wants us to learn as we turn to Him for help. As we begin a study of healing, we will examine the connection between prayer, faith, obedience, gratitude, and having the right attitude before God.

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.

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.
