Offering Sermonette
by Andrew Munro
Two Very Different Offerings
given Bristol UK Pcost 27 May 2007
When we contrast the account of the golden calf in ancient Israel with the account of the first Pentecost of the True Church, there are many things to learn. Though both were called "festivals" in scripture, and offerings appear to have been involved, the attitudes displayed could not have been further from each other. (1.0 Mb)

"Do people today believe what Jesus preached in the Sermon on the Mount? If you'd read that again, you would be shocked and surprised how few people believe it -- and how many people seem to think that Jesus was all wrong -- at least that's the way they live -- that's the way they talk. Do they do what He said?"  (3.0 Mb)

Higher Education
given Wales UK 12 May 2007
On a number of occasions, Mr Armstrong made the statement "salvation is education". But the important thing to realise is just what kind of education this is. It is certainly not the education found in this world - but an education from God - the highest education anyone can have. (10.0 Mb)

News Analysis
by Jon Bowles

given Wales UK 5 May 2007
With several election campaigns at the moment, this news analysis looks at the politics of the world, and how it relies on spin. Such things clearly fit the prophecy found in Isaiah 5:20 in calling evil good and good evil, and are the result of what is brought out in verse 24 - casting away God's Laws and despising His Word. (3.0 Mb)

What If Adam Had Not Sinned?
given 13 June 1981 - played Wales UK 5 May 2007
Begins: Brethren: after speaking here on last Sabbath, I spoke to a group of virtually 3,000 - or 2,800 - of our people up at Stockton, on the Day of Pentecost...." Mr Armstrong then mentions an incident in the Philippines, where unity in the Church needed to improve. He shows how the only way true unity can be achieved is to focus on Jesus Christ, the True Head of God's Church, and do things God's Way.

A God Who Is Near
given Wales UK 28 April 2007
This sermon continues from the sermon last week. When we begin to contemplate the very existence of God and the vastness He controls, it is so easy to become discouraged, asking why would such a being have any interest in us? But what the scriptures clearly reveal is incredibly encouraging. (10.0 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!
