Introduction
Have your questions about God ever been
answered thoroughly?
Were they answered using the Bible?
Do you want to
know what the Bible really has to say about what is happening in the
world?
If you answered the first two questions no and the last yes,
you have come to the right place.
Here at Church of GOD Sabbatarian, we seek the truth and Gods will for our
lives. We are living in extremely distressing times, which understanding
the written word, makes all the difference in regards to spiritual
survival in a Godless age.
"I TIMOTHY 4:6 If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained."

*** NEW - This weeks Sabbath message for February 4, 2012 is - What Is Faith?
Christ asked the question - would He find faith on earth when He returned. What is faith? How do we get faith? This is a timely message for the church, especially as perilous days are fast coming upon this earth. Our prayer is - "That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; 17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God." (Ephesians 3:16-19)

*** NEW - This weeks Sabbath message for January 28, 2012 is - The Doctrine of Being Born Again
In John chapter 3 Christ informed Nicodemus that "you must be born again" to see the Kingdom of God. Nicodemus was truly baffled at the prospect of returning to his mothers womb. But Christ was not talking about another human physical birth - He was talking about a complete metamorphosis into a new creature. He was talking about a change from being flesh into an eternal spirit being born into the eternal family of God. Hear the truth of God's word in this MP3 message "Being Born Again."

*** NEW - This weeks Sabbath message for January 21, 2012 is - Are Birthday Celebrations Pagan?
Where did birthday celebrations come from? What about round cakes lit up with candles, or cone shaped hats and noise makers? Did Christ or the apostles celebrate their birthdays? Where do these traditions fit in with the way of life God has outlined in the Bible? Here is a message that puts into perspective the tradition of "Birthday Celebrations."
Birthday Celebrations, 1/21/2012
*** NEW - This weeks Sabbath message for January 14, 2012 is - Epistle of Romans Chapter 8.
Carnal man is indeed condemned by the sin that exists in the physical body. The apostle Paul instructs believers to mortify or kill the deeds - the sinful acts - of the flesh. But that is only a part of the salvation process. Salvation comes by the hope that is in our spirit man - hope that is in the adoption to become literal sons of God and heirs of all things with Christ. Our hope is in the New Creature that is being created in us through the blood and sacrifie of Christ. You can listen as Lyonel expounds upon Romans chapter 8.
Epistle of Romans Chapter 8, 1/14/2012
*** NEW - This weeks Sabbath message for January 7, 2012 is - Epistle of Romans Chapter 4, 6 and 7.

*** NEW - This weeks Sabbath message for December 31, 2011 is - Revelation Chapter 18.
There is, today, on this earth a great false church. God portrays this church in Revelation as a harlot that fornicates or has concourse with the kings and governments of this world. This church is called MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT. This church will soon rise to great prominence one more time and be instrumental in the persecuting and murdering of God's true church. Revelation 18 describes the final judgments to come upon this woman as God finally brings this great false system to an end and total destruction.
Revelation Chapter 18 12/31/2011
*** NEW - This weeks Sabbath message for December 24, 2011 is - Revelation Chapter 17.
Where are we, today, in the panoramic scheme of prophecy? One of the keys to getting that perspective is found in Revelation 17:10 and 11. In the Bible a mountain, many times, can be symbolic of a king or a government. The book of Revelation is specifically given to the people who live at a time when 5 of the kings or mountains of the beast are fallen, and when one is, and when one more king, or head, is yet to come. That is exactly the time we are living in today. Only those whose names are written in the Book of Life will truly understand these things.

*** NEW - This weeks Sabbath message for November 12, 2011 is - Epistle of Romans Chapter 3.
When Jesus Christ walked this earth He encountered a constant conflict with the religious authorities of his day. The Pharisees had exalted their oral law and traditions making the Law of God of no effect. The Apostle Paul continued this fight on into his time as this false justification system kept creeping it's way into the Church of God. Lyonel goes through Chapter three of Romans in the light of this historical backdrop.

The Holy Spirit - 8/6/2011

When the Lord poured out his Holy Spirit on the Church, many gifts and talents were given to all, men and women.

In Matthew 28:19 Christ gives what appears to be a clear, simple command; ...baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. This scripture also appears to give strong proof of the belief in the Trinity. Does the Bible contradict itself? Can this scripture be harmonized with the rest of the plain instructions to baptize in the name of Jesus Christ only? Does this one scripture prove the Trinity belief? Lyonel uses scripture, scholarship and historical references to get to the truth of Matthew 28:19.

To the wicked and unbelieving Pharisees, Christ gave them only one sign that he was the Messiah. That was the sign of the prophet Jonah. As Jonah was in the belly of the giant fish for three days and three nights, Christ would be buried in the earth for three days and three nights. Why do most of modern christianity reject that sign?

Part 13 of the Epistles of Peter, 2/26/2011
*** This weeks Sabbath message for Feb. 19, 2011 is Part 12 of the Epistles of Peter.
Our earth and solar system bears much evidence of past destructions and upheavals. There have been cataclysms, floods and wars resulting in darkness and destruction. Is it possible that all this upheaval could have been caused by a LIE and DECEPTION from one super powerful angel? Peter shows there is coming a final time of destruction and darkness brought upon by lies and deception from the Devil and his powerful demon armies.

*** This weeks Sabbath message for Jan. 29, 2011 is Part 9 of the Epistles of Peter.
How valuable was the life of Jesus Christ? How great was his sacrifice? Lyonel shows that very few truly understand the magnitude of this sacrifice.

Peter then gives seven characteristics we are to be developing and growing in.
Part 9 of the Epistles of Peter, 1/29/2011
*** This weeks Sabbath message for Jan. 22, 2011 is Part 8 of the Epistles of Peter.
In chapter 5, Peter reveals how the chief Shepherd, Christ, has put order in His Church. He has gifted and appointed apostles, prophets, teachers and elders to watch over, guard and feed His sheep. He also reveals the key element to this church structure - HUMILITY - an element sorely missing from the churches and governments of this world.
Part 8 of the Epistles of Peter, 1/22/2011
*** This is an open Bible Study from Jan. 19, 2011.
The Bible reveals that Satan has made a counterfeit of God's true religion, and that the whole world is deceived. In Exodus 31 God gives a true sign or mark that identifies His people. Satan has, of course, made a counterfeit mark. Do you know what that mark is? Will you be deceived by "The Mark of the Beast."
