Does God Need An Army
given Bristol UK 16 Aug 2014
In many Protestant circles the role of the Christian group is likened to an army - fighting for Christ! But is that view accurate? Not according to scripture - particularly when we understand the account of Gideon. (1.8 Mb)

The Struggle Of Earnestly Contending
given Bristol UK 16 Aug 2014
Jude 3 tells us to "earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints." But what exactly is it that we need to "contend" for? And what exactly does God want us to do so earnestly? (13.3 Mb)

Melchizedek - part 1
broadcast date unknown - played UK 2 Aug 2014
"One of the mysteries of the Bible is the identity of Melchizedek. Who is, or who was, Melchizedek? Now we've been reading about Melchizedek in one of the most neglected chapters in all of the Bible - yet one of the most important. And the neglect of it is causing a great many headaches ..." (4.4 Mb)

How Long Is Now?
given Hailsham UK 2 Aug 2014
We stand poised at the closing stages of the present age knowing that God's view of time is very different from ours. But we can be confident that He gives each of us - as His people - the time we require. And we can see this clearly when we look back at the examples found in scripture. (11.6 Mb)

Giving a Peaceful Answer
given Wales UK 26 Jul 2014
In today's fast-paced world there is little time to think before giving an electronic reply. But therein lies a grave problem: For the scripture, "a soft answer turns away wrath" (Proverbs 15:1) ... is just as valid as it ever was. (1.8 Mb)

How Does God Teach?
given Wales UK 26 Jul 2014

Psalm 15 Compared with Matthew 5, 6 and 7
given Bristol UK 12 Jul 2014
Psalm 15 is a short Psalm written by David, inspired by The Eternal, that lists a number of characteristics that will be exhibited by those who will inherit eternity within the Government of God. But it is also remarkably similar to Jesus Christ's words in Matthew chapters 5 to 7. (6.5 Mb)

Psalm 83 - a Prophecy for Today
given Bristol UK 12 Jul 2014
Many commentators are confused regarding the confederacy described in Psalm 83 while some try and shoehorn the content into the events described in 2Chronicles 20 concerning Jehoshaphat. But a closer inspection gives a clear indication it is a prophecy that has yet to occur - and almost certainly in our lifetime... (8.8 Mb)

My Lord Delays
given Wales UK 5 Jul 2014
It is nearly three decades since Mr Armstrong died yet most of the events we were anticipating in the 1970s and 1980s have still to materialise. But what we are warned against at this interim juncture is saying in our heart, "My Lord delays his coming" (Matt 24:48). The problem is, too many are. (11.9 Mb)

Bible Study

1 Corinthians 1 and 2
given 20 Jul 1980 - Played UK 28 Jun 2014
Begins: "We had finished the books of Romans and Galatians, and they have been recorded so that they could go out to various churches, and I thought it would be good if we would start now this time in the book of Corinthians...." Mr Armstrong then prefaces the study with comments on a recent PT article "What and Why The Church". He does this as 1 Corinthians is very much addressed to a Church congregation - and one with severe problems. (Transcript) (11.0 Mb)

Thankful Blessings
given Wales UK 21 Jun 2014
Something we do on a regular basis is to ask a blessing on our meals. But why in scripture do we see Christ sometimes blessing and sometimes giving thanks before having food? The answer lies in how the two are linked. (2.2 Mb)

Meaning of the Last Great Day
given 7 Oct 1985 - Played Wales UK 14 Jun 2014
Begins: "Greetings brethren at Feast sites all around the world. Once again I am speaking to you from my own television studio in Pasadena, as I did on the opening night of this Festival...." Due to his failing eyesight Mr Armstrong then replays his 1984 message - in which he goes back to the beginning in order to explain how the Judgement pictured by the LGD fits into God's overall Plan. This is probably the last message to be played to the Church before his death in Jan 1986. (full transcript) (10.6 Mb)

Subterfuge and lies play a big part in all wars. So in our own battle with Satan, lies and half-truths distort our foundation of Truth from God. But the websites give a valuable tool to verify what we hear - financed by the offerings of God's people. (2.6 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!
