Sermon

Words Fitly Spoken
given Peterborough Canada 24 Feb 2007
Words have been used to move armies, to give whole nations courage, and to provoke people to both great good and also great evil. But what each of us must always remember, is how God is going to bring even each idle word we may use into judgement (Matt 12:36-37). (11.0 Mb)

Sermon

Robes of Righteousness
given Bristol UK 17 Feb 2007
Clothing is used within scriptural analogies to picture the righteousness - or otherwise - of individuals. As we approach the Passover, we need to begin to examine ourselves - and specifically our repentance. This means to look again at the direction our life is heading: Is it towards robes of righteousness? Or is it merely towards filthy rags? (13.0 Mb)

broadcast 4 May 1979 - played Wales UK 10 Feb 2007
"You have heard, my friends, that Jesus Christ came to do away with His Father's commandments. That God's Laws, the Laws of God, are not good and that the Laws of God are contrary to our best interests, that they are bad for us and Jesus made us free to break the Laws of God and to do what we please and what seems good in the sight of man..."  (3.0 Mb)

Freedom
given Wales UK 10 Feb 2007
Towards the end of his life, Mr Herbert Armstrong wrote a booklet called: “A World Held Captive” in which he laid out the background that lies behind our tragic society. Yet today, there are even more ominous signs that the world is moving further and further away from true freedom into even greater degenerate captivity. This sermon therefore: Places the subject into perspective; Asks what makes us free; Examines financial freedom; Sexual freedom; Freedom from stress; and freedom from oppression. (12.0 Mb)

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

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 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)

Sermon
by Jonathan Pippy
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

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)

“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!
