Allegiances other than to Christ and national flags do not belong in true Christian worship. In Christ, there is no East or West. All are one in Christ Jesus, and to have any other allegiance is idolatry.

In our first video, we took a look at the correct interpretation of the so-called "clobber passages" and saw that they do not, in fact, condemn our gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and otherwise queer siblings in Christ. In this video, we will explore some other biblical passages that point to a theme of LGBTQ+ acceptance.

The modern church has experienced debates and divides over the issue of acceptance or rejection of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, or otherwise queer people. Our Lord, Jesus Christ, and his earliest apostles and the early Church would not have had a second thought on the issue: of course, God accepts LGBTQ+ people because He created them, and if they are believers, He has washed them just like He has washed any other believer. In this video, the Bishop will briefly explain why the so-called "clobber passages" do not condemn LGBTQ+ people.

In the Gospel of Matthew, the Beatitudes are the beginning of Jesus' public ministry. They are not a list of rules, as were the Ten Commandments, but are rather a list of blessings that deal with the heart.

Galatians 5:16-26 gives clear directions as to what life in Spirit looks like. If we are filled with the Spirit, we will exhibit the fruits of the Spirit.

The New Earth Communities are planned Christo-communes inspired by a vision the Bishop received from the Lord about the "New Jerusalem" and the "New Earth" of Jesus' Second Coming.

The Apostle Paul tells us that without the resurrection,  we are a people most miserable, and that our faith is in vain. Everything hinges on the bodily, physical resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is the bedrock of our faith and of our hope.

The Church of the Apostolic Restoration does not have pastors, but we do have Shepherds - facilitators of home meetings around the world that gather to pray, study, and worship together. This short video introduces the responsibilities and roles of these Shepherds who are chosen by the Bishop.

One of the age-old indictments against faith is the problem of gratuitous pain and suffering in the world. Why do bad things happen - not just everyday bad things, which may be explainable, but absolutely evil, horrendous suffering? Is it the result of a spiritual war, of a battle between good and evil, God and Satan?

This video briefly explains how The Apostolic Church of the Restoration operates and the roles the Bishop and members are expected to fill.

The 144,000 in the Book of Revelation describe these men as being virgins. But are they physical virgins or spiritual virgins? This sermon clarifies the character and identity of this group of the redeemed.
