Sermon
by Jon Bowles
Restore All Things
given Wales UK 5 July 2008
A prophecy given by Jesus Christ is that "Elijah truly shall first come and restore all things" (Matt 17:10-11). But there are those who dispute whether HWA could have been the fulfilment, as we don't know "all things" today. This totally misses what the prophecy says. This sermon examines: What the first Elijah restored; The lost century; The end-time needs; and The breadth of the gospel. (11.3 Mb)

Sermon
by Mr Armstrong
Middle East Trip
given 28 Nov 1981 USA - Played Wales UK 7 June 2008
Begins: "Greetings again everybody. Nice to be back. I arrive back about.... Let me see, I think it was about 5:30 or 6:00 this morning London time..." Mr Armstrong then spends the next hour commenting about the recent trip, and the final half hour giving a short sermon on the Holy Spirit. He stresses the vast difference between the natural and Spirit led mind. Without a mind that is Spirit led we will not make it and unless that new mind continually grows through prayer throughout life, our Spirit Life will miscarry.

"My friends, why is it that Jesus spoke in parables so that the people could not understand? Now we have always supposed, of course, most people have, that the reason that Jesus Christ spoke in parables was to make the meaning more clear -- sort of illustrated so people would understand better.

“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!
