Requirements For Gods Kingdom
broadcast 26 June 1979 - played Wales UK 7 Feb 2009
"My friends, why is it that today we not only have bad news, but we hear a kind of preaching that's certainly different from that which the people were hearing when Jesus Christ was on earth or during the ministry of the true Church of God under the apostles in the first century after Christ had ascended to heaven? Now, we've been going through the New Testament to see what Jesus did teach, and what He taught His disciples, what they preached. And we have been here in the 9th and 10th chapters of Matthew where Jesus had sent His disciples out on a practice mission." (3.0 Mb)

Five Misconceptions

An Obama-Washington Leader Comparison
given Peterborough Canada 24 Jan 2009
So much news coverage of Mr Barack Obama tends to present him as some kind of saviour of the world. But what are his true qualities of leadership, from Gods perspective? This sermonette takes segments of his inaugural address, and that of George Washington and finds two very different approaches. And yet what God is looking for is much nearer that of yesteryear, than that of today. (1.0 Mb)

Bible Study
by Mr Armstrong
The Law of Liberty
given 23 Apr 1981 during UB - Played Wales UK 17 Jan 2009
Begins: "I should have left you standing. I think we had better rise again if you dont mind..." Mr Armstrong then gives an opening prayer for the bible study, before explaining how we only have temporary life today, but are offered Real Life by God. He goes through the first chapter of the book of James where the "process" of sin is covered, as is "the Law of liberty" and contrasts it with a current newspaper, to show how meaningless mere chemical "life" portrayed within it really is. (13.0 Mb)

Killing Seeds of Doubt
given Bristol UK 3 Jan 2009
The apostle Paul in Romans 8 clearly gives our destiny -- to become the very Sons of God, brothers to Jesus Christ the firstborn. But seeds of doubt can enter - which the apostle Paul kills when he says, "neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Rom 8:38-39) (13.0 Mb)

The Need for Spiritual Knowledge
given 29 Aug 1981 in Toronto - Played Wales UK 6 Dec 2008
Begins: "... it was only a few weeks ago I was speaking to brethren back in Vancouver. Next Sabbath I hope to be in Montreal..." Mr Armstrong then begins to show how God offered mankind Real Life, but man chose an opposite way that has resulted in every evil. Once the decision was made however, the Tree of Life was shut off from mankind as a whole -- who must now wait until Satan is removed. (14.0 Mb)

“Just what is an APOSTLE?”
Just what is an Apostle?

Today we find the Church of God in a “wilderness of religious confusion!”

The confusion is not merely around the Church – within the religions of the world outside – but WITHIN the very heart of The True Church itself!
