Today's programming is the thirty-fourth edition of "Back to the
Future," our Sunday broadcasts featuring messages recorded throughout
the history of the Church of God.  Many of these speakers and messages
have not been heard for many decades.  Some of these messages have never
publicly been heard again at all.  You may find yourself amazed at how
relevant these words still are for us living today.  We hope you enjoy
our step back in time, with messages focusing on the age to come.

If you enjoy the messages
you hear daily on
COGCAST, you may also
be interested in some of
these books, literature, and
other media available.

TAKE A LOOK
Do you like a message you heard today?  Maybe you'd like to make a CD for a

all of the messages as high-quality mp3s? Simply right-click the message title and
choose to "save target as" to your computer or accessory.  
Also, you're always welcome to link to any page, file, or message(s) on this site!

Our Newest
Addition:
The music of
Sam and
Dorothy
Boyer
Today's broadcast also features the musical talents of Brother Ralph Childs (between each
message) from three of his albums.  No Church of God artist has recorded or performed
more music throughout the churches than Brother Ralph.  Maybe you remember a
performance.  Perhaps you recall him and his family stopping by for Vacation Bible School.  
Maybe you remember the enjoyment as he led the children's worship during General
Conference.  Maybe you remember him teaching you a song.  Maybe you have another
album.  If you do, would you share it with us?
Are You Ready?
Pastor E. Milon Hall  3/20/1966
The Bible tells us to be ready, but not just for the coming of the Lord.
 We are told to be ready to speak, to answer, to give, to work, to
serve, and to be ready for action.  We must keep our sense of urgency.  
And God will give us opportunities.  So what is your personal
conviction?  When someone asks why you believe, will you be ready to
share the reason for your hope?
2 Timothy 4:2; 2:24,25; 2 Corinthians 9:1,2; Acts 21:13
The Restitution of All Things
Pastor Lyle Rankin
Since the beginning, man has had two choices: life and death.  And since
man's fall, sin has cursed the earth.  But when Jesus returns, he will
once again restore the earth and restore peace as in the days of
creation.  But until then, we must preach the same gospel Jesus
commanded his disciples to take into all the world.  Are you
anticipating those times of refreshing that are coming?
Acts 1:3; 3:19-21; Genesis 1:31; 3:15; 2 Peter 3:7; Isaiah 34; 66
The Hope of the Kingdom
Pastor Emory Macy
The hope of the kingdom of God is the stabilizing force in every
Christian's life.  Our hope in the future determines how we will live
today.  Every man desires health and happiness, holiness and wholeness,
and peace of mind and peace with God.  But the ultimate fulfillment of
man's hope will not be until Jesus returns.  And it is then, in that
kingdom, when we will live under a perfect government, in perfect living
conditions, with perfect health, and in a perfect environment.  What a
hope we have!
2 Corinthians 11:21-25; Matthew 19:27; Isaiah 65:17,23; 33:24; 25:8;
Psalm 72:16; Acts 3; Jeremiah 31:34
