The Blessing
Garnant discusses Isaac’s blessing upon Jacob, especially in the context of parent-to-child, while not diminishing the prophetic significance of the blessing. Five elements of a blessing, one of which is touch, which is especially important in a blessing, church rites, Jesus’ healings/blessings, and our relationships with our loved ones. That the blessing is spoken is also significant, as we see in God blessing Abram.

Return To The Shepherd
How can we live for God in the midst of a society perverted and ignorant of God? This sermon was given in the aftermath of the WCG breakup and is very encouraging for distressed brethren. God promises to see us through tough times. He won’t abandon us. We must, however, persevere and keep our eyes on the future glory. Holy conduct is required. We have been called to act. We must have a real, daily, practical, active love for the brethren. In lieu of the Levitical system of sacrifices not in place, we are to give spiritual sacrifices. What are those? Why has God called us?

Preeminence of the Firstborn
Pentecost sermon. The wave sheaf offering, the first fruit, the resurrection, and how everything points to Jesus. Christ as the first fruit and how it relates to us. He will dwell in us; we are first fruits when we use His spirit.

Nehushtan
Story of Moses’ bronze serpent. Why it was necessary; what it symbolized; what its purpose was. How does it relate to Christianity? How tall was it? Where does it show up in our society today? Isn’t it a graven image? How does it relate to Nicodemus? Parallels between Numbers 21 and John 3. We are blessed with a great perspective, which should give us much comfort and gratitude that comes from knowing our sins have been cleansed.

Rod Meredith
What is the Kingdom of God?
From 1953. A 23-year-old Rod Meredith talks of the food laws, the cross, church music, Christian growth, the true gospel of the kingdom of God, the relationship between the kingdom of God and God’s law. Recollection of the just-completed baptismal tour with Herman Hoeh. He also discusses 3 doctrines that have subsequently changed: 1) Divorce and remarriage, 2) “The millennium is not the kingdom of God”, and, 3) another church of God (with another radio program) that is recognized as a legitimate church of God by the then Radio Church of God.

The Resurrection of Jesus Christ
Many ancient (Greek, Roman) philosophies believed death could not be reversed. Yet, both the Old Testament and the New Testament teach a resurrection. While examples of resurrections in the Bible are a return to physical life only to die again, Jesus’ resurrection was to eternal life – never to die again. This better resurrection parallels leavened bread to unleavened bread; sinfulness to righteousness. Baptism as a type of resurrection -- the resurrection of Jesus Christ is the conquering of sin and death. The Days of Unleavened Bread are not just about Passover and putting sin out, but also about the resurrection. We need to look at what was done for us and react appropriately.

The Truth
People search for it, sometimes their whole life. Garnant answers the question, “With all the church out there, why are we at church today an why here?” from the 2nd and 3rd epistles of John. Truth vs belief. Love for the truth. Walking in the truth. Loving those in the truth.

Stir Up Love and Good Works
Compares prophecy of Matthew 24 vs commission of Matthew 28. Stirring up good works vs stirring up self-serving gossip. Where there is humility, there is no strife or bitterness. Do not take on things that aren’t ours and have the peace that comes from leaving things to God.

The True Context of Matthew 18
Intro – how to respond to “Merry Christmas”. Garnant looks at Matthew 18:15-17 but in the context of the entire chapter of Matthew 18. – be childlike, - avoiding sin, - avoiding offending, - reconciliation as the goal, - humble, innocent, forgiving, - person to person meeting, - forgiveness. “Binding and loosing” and “the church” are not specifically addressed because of the bigger point of the Matthew 18. Bottom line – forgive.

Joe Kovacs
Jerry Aust interviews Joe Kovacs
United Church of God’s Jerry Aust interviews WorldNetDaily’s Joe Kovacs concerning Kovacs’ book “Shocked By The Bible”. Joe discusses basic Biblical doctrines, several of which are diametrically opposite of mainstream Christianity yet are straight from the Bible. These doctrines match with generally recognized Church of God doctrines. This audio was posted on both UCG.ORG and WND.COM.

Biblical Stewardship
God has given us resources and we need to learn to utilize them. It all belongs to God; how will we take care of what He has entrusted us with? Four principles of stewardship:
1) God owns all
2) We are being trained
3) Exercise faith in God, not in possessions
4) One day, God will give us everything
God will not give us more if we mis-use what we have. More is said on in the Bible about managing resources than perhaps on anything else. Debt has spiritual implications. It is not wrong to borrow, but it is wrong to borrow and borrow and borrow. We need to get rid of this debt, at least partially. Multiple Biblical examples: value your time, 1st & 2nd tithe.

Koinonia Fellowship
The high importance of enthusiasm. A review of the Pentecost event and subsequent fading of enthusiasm. What did the first Christians do? What should we do? The meaning of “one accord” and depth of that one-ness. The fellowship of the early church was unique. As it was diverse and had a close fellowship, so with us, also, too. As they shared, so can we. Garnant continues with a very inspiring discussion on fellowship.

Three Prayers Plus One
Given at the United Church of God, Los Angeles, Garnant provides an excellent narrative of David’s prayer about the temple, Solomon’s prayer at its dedication, and Jesus’ model prayer. How the focus of each is on God. Garnant encourages us to apply these principles to our own prayers.
