2 Peter 3:14
Good explanation of knowledge, understanding and wisdom. Ogwyn addresses the value of experience in applying these three principles. The peace of God and how to have it. Real peace comes through surrender. How the ceremonial laws of Leviticus 11-15 apply to the Christian. Unknown
2
A Loving & Trusting Heart
God wants our heart, not our rituals. Why? Ogwyn looks at the heart of King David. How the heart can be deceitful and how to get a clean heart. Solomon’s problem was of the heart – what we really want to do, we find a way. God tries the heart. Ogwyn gives interesting insight on the ritual of washing of the hands. Ogwyn looks at how the heart can be troubled, broken, pure, evil, hard, unbelieving, surrendered, loving, trusting, faithful. Head knowledge is worthless without a heart inclined to God. Unknown
3
A Time of Change
We live in a time of great change, not only technological, but moral. Yet, the Bible is a base of permanence; stability in an unstable world. If you want to be permanent, you need to embrace the permanent. We can change by focusing on the permanent. Weariness and distraction are the two biggest obstacles – are we changing toward the world or toward God? 2003
4
A Time of Terror
Biblical prophecy predicting terrorism, along with protection from it. Subjects: Antiochus Epiphany, Daniel 11, the Beast, King of the North, King of the South, prosperity and security before the time of the end, prophecies of Ezekiel 27 & 28, Leviticus 26. 2004
5
All Nations Against Jerusalem
The desire to destroy Israel is predicted in Psalm 83. At a time when Jerusalem was nothing, Zechariah prophesied it as a major end-time player. Ogwyn talks of Israel’s return from exile and how there has always been extensive opposition to the work of God. The people did delay their work until God stirred them up. The glory of God was in the tabernacle of Moses’ day and in the first temple, but was not in the second temple, yet Haggai prophesied a greater glory for the second temple than the first. Lessons: No matter how insignificant you might think your contribution might be, do it anyway, keeping focused on the vision of the big picture. An example is King David, who, while not permitted to to build the temple, looked to help however he could. Unknown

Being Part of an Inside Job
430 years – when did it start? Sermon given on the First Day of Unleavened Bread, as was the 430 year span. Parallels between the physical, outside righteousness of the Old Covenant and the New Covenant. The pharisees focused on outward appearance and what man thinks, Jesus focused on the inward heart and what God thinks. God is making us as a master potter turns dirt into a porcelain vase, the dirt can’t do that itself. Ogwyn gives excellent advice on how to work on the inside, he teaches methods, and gives the key to changing. Unknown
11
Contrasting God's Government With Man's Government
God’s government is God-chosen, man’s is man-chosen. God’s government is constitutional; man’s may be based on the leader’s whims. Leaders are to be shepherds – applies to all leadership positions, including family, church, workplace, government. Ogwyn contrasts the traits of good shepherds vs bad shepherds. Dec 2000

Pentecost - Last Sermon in WCG
Ogwyn draws a Parallel between the establishment of the Old Testament Church and the New Testament Church. Ogwyn shows how troubles plagued the New Testament Church, how Paul saw it coming, and what to do when church leaders take the church in the wrong direction. Although Ogwyn never mentions that he is leaving WCG, nor does he specifically mention the problems in WCG, in retrospect it is clear how problems in WCG parallel the troubles in the New Testament Church, what people need to do now, and how God continues to test His people. 5-30-1993
