News Analysis
by Jon Bowles

given Wales UK 26 Sep 2009
The world today is a very different place from just a few decades ago and this is reflected in our newspapers. One area appears to be a concerted effort to erode the former Judeo-Christian heritage. When you understand that such beliefs allowed the nations to rise to prominence, such erosion has to be seen in the context of an inevitable decline. (4.0 Mb)

Sermon

Trumpets and the Purpose of the Church
given Trump 11 Sep 1980 - Played Wales UK 26 Sep 2009
Begins: "Greetings everybody, hello there everybody over in Pasadena. I'm not over here in Tucson, I'm in Pasadena right with you, and I've been listening to Mr Curtis May telling us how to make up for lost time..." Mr Armstrong then gives the meaning of the day of Trumpets in 1980, using a two-way video hookup from his new TV studio in Tucson. He concentrated particularly on how the purpose of The Church -- to teach within the Kingdom of God -- comes into its own at Christ's return, pictured within the day of Trumpets. (12.0 Mb)

Sermon
by Jon Bowles
David and the Shewbread
given Wales UK 12 Sep 2009
Some people use an incident in the life of King David to justify ignoring the Law of God: the fact that he ate the shewbread that only the Priests were allowed to eat -- and Christ cited this to the Pharisees. But do we fully understand this incident? This sermon examines: How Christ used the example; What is shewbread? Did David simply take it? Presumptuous sin; Who decided? Determining the intent. (11.2 Mb)

"My friends, why is it that today we are in such religious confusion? Why is it that there seem to be more than one Jesus Christ being proclaimed today? And why is it that the message that Jesus Christ brought is not known today and people believe exactly the opposite and they can become very much riled up and explosive if anyone tells them what Jesus Christ taught, what He believed, because they believe just the opposite -- they are conformed to this world which has a different doctrine today? ...." (3.0 Mb)

News Analysis
by Jon Bowles

given Wales UK 25 July 2009
Last week, 100,000 people were infected with swine flu in Britain. The flu strain is a never-before-seen composite of swine, bird and human flu strains and is the fastest moving pandemic ever seen. The question is, where does the entire subject fit within biblical prophecy, and what should be the reaction of God's people to such things? (2.0 Mb)

Sermon
by Mr Armstrong
Kidnapped
given LGD 29 Sept 1983 - Played Wales UK 25 July 2009
Begins: "...Well brethren what a wonderful rare thing it is, to be able to have the modern facilities that we do, and I wonder what the early apostles and the early Church of the first century would think if they could see the type of facilities, the technology, that has been developed and the things that we have today to get the Gospel around the world ..." Mr Armstrong then gives the closing sermon of the final festival in 1983, showing how though Satan kidnapped humanity, God's Plan is that the ransom price is paid and every human who has ever lived is given the chance for salvation - provided they turn from their current satanic vanity to be obedient to God and His Way. (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!
