Sermon

The Plan Of God
given USA FOT 25 Sept 1980 - played Wales 3 Feb 2007
This sermon was the first transmission to link multiple Feast sites in the USA, Canada and UK. When you consider how today we do something similar with nothing more than a telephone line and a laptop via the internet, it indicates how much some things in the world have changed. However, the basic message - why we are here on this earth, and the very purpose of human life - remains just as relevant today as it has ever been. (14.0 Mb)

News Analysis
by Jon Bowles

given Wales UK 3 Feb 2007
Being able to analyse the news from a prophetic standpoint, requires asking certain questions when we read the scriptures. What we are specifically looking for are trends that would need to be in place prior to the prophecies being fulfilled. This news analysis briefly tries to illustrate this using the passage found in Rev 11:1-10, that describes the actions of the two witnesses. Three trends are highlighted: Gentile rulership; a Catholic controlled Europe; and photo voyeurism. (2.0 Mb)

The Good Shepherd
given Wales UK 27 Jan 2007
Recent research with sheep has found that they can recognise up to 50 other sheep - and up to 10 humans - and that they even respond more to kind faces! Understanding this, it is no wonder Christ talks of His people as His sheep. (1.0 Mb)

Answering The Beast
given Wales UK 27 Jan 2007
Who Is the Beast ... Who Or What is the Prophetic Beast... The Mark of the Beast (Transcript)...are all part of the legacy Mr Armstrong left on the subject of the prophesied Mark of the Beast. But it is only today - 20 years on - that we can begin to see certain aspects unfold. This sermon shows how various things being said by the current Pope should make all of us to take note, and then goes on to describe how what we find in scripture allows us to both answer - and counter - the arguments raised. (14.0 Mb)

The Unwavering Christian
given Peterborough Canada 20 Jan 2007
A particular theme that continually comes through the book of Daniel is an unwavering trust in God. Although he and his companions were effectively subject to brainwashing by their captors as young men, they remained utterly committed to be obedient to God - whatever the consequences. The account of such an unwavering attitude is obviously something God wanted preserved - so that we also may develop the same today. (11.3 Mb)

Getting the Big Picture
given Bristol UK 13 Jan 2007
This Feast of Tabernacles, we plan to have the UK join the brethren in the USA for the first time. But why? Yes, there are superficial reasons that make the decision logical, but the real reasons involve why we keep the Feast in the first place, why we attend Church - and even why the very universe itself exists. (13.0 Mb)

The Pride Before the Fall
given Wales UK 6 Jan 2007
There has been a marked change within today's society, to exclude God and to elevate man. But when you go through scripture it becomes very clear that God allows such an approach to last only so long - before the inevitable fall. (11.0 Mb)

News Analysis
by Jon Bowles

given Wales UK 30 Dec 2006
When travelling within the USA, you come face to face with the "war against terror" in the airport security checks passengers have to go through. But is it a war the West can win? Unless there is a dramatic change in direction within our countries, scripture indicates clearly that it is not. (4.0 Mb)

Why Different Groups?
given St Louis USA 23 Dec 2006
We find ourselves on the eve of the greatest trial to befall mankind, yet the Church of God is fragmented. Can God's Spirit be fragmented? We can't all be right - but we can all be wrong. This sermon examines: Two prophesied extremes; How members mirror the group; How God is testing; The anointed leadership; How offenses come; How God tells us to decide. (14.0 Mb)

Thankfulness
given Peterborough Canada 16 Dec 2006
Thankfulness is a quality we all need to develop - including our children. So often in the world today this is missing. But when we truly begin to understand what God has done for us - and what He plans for us in the future - it becomes much easier to be truly thankful, as we should. (2.0 Mb)

Preaching the Gospel
given Peterborough Canada 16 Dec 2006
When Mr Armstrong was alive, we did not talk of "the Church", but "The Work". This was because the focus we had was to take the gospel of the kingdom to the world as a witness. But what about today? Has it been done? Or are we expected to continue doing the same thing? This sermon examines the following: What is the Gospel? Preaching the Gospel as a witness; Preaching the Gospel to those God is calling; Preaching the Gospel to the Church; Preaching the Gospel to the world. (13.0 Mb)

Living Letters
given Bristol UK 9 Dec 2006
We so often can read the epistles of Paul, gaining teaching and instruction from them ourselves, but forget that these were originally written to real people, with real lives and real problems and a hope identical to ours. This sermon goes through each epistle in the order in which they were written, and tries to give a brief picture what was going on behind the scenes at the time. (13.0 Mb)

The Sacred Family Unit
given Oswestry UK 2 Dec 2006
Mr Armstrong made the statement: Nothing in this material world is as important as a happy home life with father, mother and well-taught happy children—a close-knit FAMILY. Where This Breakdown in Family Life Is Taking Us (GN Aug 85). But such a family is becoming an increasing rarety in the world today. So how can those of us in the Church, who live in such a degenerating environment, be ready to teach The Way to achieve this in the World Tomorrow. This sermon explains. (12.0 Mb)

Sermon
by Mr Armstrong
50th Anniversary of the Eugene Church
given USA FOT 24 Sept 1983 played Wales UK 18 Nov 2006
This sermon was given on the Sabbath during the Feast of Tabernacles in 1983 - at the Eugene Church in Oregon which was celebrating its 50th anniversary. Several former teens were there, then well into their 60s. In addition to talking about those early years, Mr Armstrong talks extensively on Why the Church of God exists, and how the Truth of God was revealed. This is an exceedingly long message with much useful information, but unfortunately the very end of the sermon is missing, and the recording ends abruptly after just under 2 hours. (18.0 Mb)

Agape Love (Part 2) - The Glue of the Church
given Bristol UK 11 Nov 2006
This is the second sermon of a two part series. Col 3:14 talks of Agape Love as the "bond" - or glue - of perfection. This "glue" is therefore also what holds God's True Church together, as it is God's very character. We can also check the areas in which it needs to be increased by going to the scripture which explains the various qualities of this Agape Love - 1Cor 13. (8.0 Mb)

End Time Islam
given Bristol UK 11 Nov 2006
Something that is constantly in the news these days, is the rise and rise of Islam. And yet, what does scripture indicate about this power? It shows clearly that there exists a king - to the south of Jerusalem at the end time - who causes the king of the north to invade the Holy Land. The Mahdi, for whom so many within these lands are currently waiting, seems to fit what the bible prophecies predict. (6.0 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!
