Our Sonship Rights
Sonship Rights The Hermitage (Ho-Ho-Kus, NJ) Arrington, Lantz 05/03/2025
God’s Word is true and right, so accept what it says about us. The teaching starts by looking at the parable of the forgiving father, showing how come back to God no matter the circumstances and still expect Him to go above and beyond in taking care of us. We look at a number of sonship rights that are very important to know for our lives so that we can keep ourselves on the right course. These include righteousness, justification, peace with God, and more. Finally, we are told to remember that God is love, and that is the reason why we are sons and have the rights that come with it.

Getting Out of Our Comfort Zones
Lifestyle of a Believer The Hermitage (Ho-Ho-Kus, NJ) Hanan, Patrick 05/03/2025
If your priority in life is to avoid pressure and be comfortable, your life won’t bear fruit. We are warned not to let the Adversary deceive us into thinking that committing to God will make our lives harder; a good life comes from doing God’s will and walking in the spirit. We are to be honest about where we are, what path we are on, and what excuses we are making so that we can change our course by putting on the Word of God knowing that He will give us strength. The teacher instructs us to do things that will build and add to our lives because those are the things that will last, and when we go to God’s Word, be ready to do what it says. Like exercising our physical bodies, it may hurt and be unfun at first, but if you put in the work you will get results.

Walking Spiritually
Walking with God The Hermitage (Ho-Ho-Kus, NJ) Chow, Kaitlyn 05/04/2025
After tracing some of the different words for “walking” in the Bible and seeing what they can tell us about walking with God, this teaching goes on to look at a number of principles for walking spiritually using examples from God’s Word and the teacher’s own life. Records of believers such as Enoch, Noah, Hannah, David, Moses, and Jesus Christ are used to illustrate how we can walk in fellowship, alignment, and partnership with God. Some of the keys covered are the need to trust God; the importance of faithfulness; the role of prayer; the requirement to not care what others think but only what God’s will is; the place of selflessness, humility, and obedience; the necessity of operating the manifestations; and the place that waiting on God holds.
Being an Example
Lifestyle of a Believer The Hermitage (Ho-Ho-Kus, NJ) West, Greg 05/04/2025
We have been called by God to be His sons and, as we walk in this world, people are watching our example. Whether we want them to or not and whether we recognize it or not, we make an impression on others. In order for others to understand who God is and what Jesus Christ has made available, we want to imitate many of the characteristics of our Heavenly Father, above all by walking in His love. Being the examples we’ve been called to be involves remembering and believing who we are and what we have because of Christ, manifesting the truth of God’s Word by walking out on it and holding it forth.
Developing a Lifestyle of Service
Leadership and Service Lifestyle of a Believer The Hermitage (Ho-Ho-Kus, NJ) Chatten, Bob 05/03/2025
Service to others in God’s name is a part of God’s design for every believer’s life and growth, not just something for a few special people or ones with a certain personality or knowledge. Just as we grow and mature physically from stage to stage in our lives, we can choose to grow and mature spiritually from stage to stage over the course of our lives. In this teaching we look at some of the different stages of spiritual growth and maturity mentioned in God’s Word, what is involved in reaching those stages, how we learn what our particular place of service in the Body of Christ is, the difference between our position and our function, and how urgent and important it is that each of us gives what we uniquely have to contribute.
Our Calling
Sonship Rights The New Birth The Hermitage (Ho-Ho-Kus, NJ) Cahill, Chrissy 05/03/2025
The truth is that we are sons and daughters of God right now, and Christ in you should have a huge impact on your day to day life. This teaching looks at who God made us to be and how being God’s child is the core of who we are. We are instructed to learn where in the Word different promises and sonship rights are stated so that we can claim them when we need them. Then, the teacher looks at Jesus Christ’s, John the Baptist’s, and Paul’s callings and teaches that, with God, we can always change the direction we are heading. The only acceptance we should care about is from God and the Lord Jesus Christ which we already have.
