Sermon
by by Jon Pippy
Companion - or Acquaintance?
given Peterborough Canada 15 July 2006
Are we mere acquaintances of each other? Or are we true spiritual companions? How far would we go for each other? Would we lay our lives on the line for our friends - as instructed by Christ in John 15:13 and as He did Himself - or do we fall short? The example of Paul is particularly valuable in examining this subject - both in his need for spiritual companions through his ministry, and in the way he was himself a spiritual companion to those with him in the Church. (10.0 Mb)

Split Sermon
by by Ian Henderson
Food and Fellowship
given Bristol UK 8 July 2006
Our physical lives depend on the food we eat. But God has made the process very enjoyable - and something within scripture which is shown as a social occasion around a meal table. This can be seen historically, and also prophetically - even into our immortal lives after the resurrection. This sermon examines this fascinating subject. (6.0 Mb)

Split Sermon
by Jon Bowles
The Ark of the Covenant
given Bristol UK 8 July 2006
In Rev 11:19 there is a vision given of the Temple of God in heaven, and at its centre - the Ark of the Covenant. But why the Ark? What was it? What did it contain? What was it associated with? And where is it today? The answers to such questions have much to say to each of us at this present time. The beginning of Rev 11 describes this future Spiritual Temple - with the Ark at it's heart - as being measured and tested today just prior to the resurrection. Understanding the Ark therefore helps us to understand what criteria God uses for this testing. (7.0 Mb)

Sermon
by Mr Armstrong
The Trunk of the Tree
given Oct 1983 - played Wales UK 1 July 2006
In this sermon, Mr Armstrong gives a complete overview - having just returned from the Feast - and lays out the Plan of God, revealed by Jesus Christ, that we all must hold onto as our foundation - the very Trunk of the Tree. He also states, God says, "Mark those that are causing division, and offenses, contrary to the doctrine that we've been taught through Christ, and avoid them." There are just two ways we can avoid them, one is that if we all get out, we leave the Church and leave them in. The other is if we put them out..... If only God's people had listened - and acted on this instruction - when Worldwide first began departing from the foundation Christ laid! (15.0 Mb)

Sermonette

Firstfruits - Baked With Leaven
given Bristol UK Pcost 4 June 2006
The Grain Sacrifice given at Pentecost was unique, in that it was baked with leaven - showing we are not sinless as are those offerings given to represent Christ. The important thing we therefore have to keep in mind as Firstfruits to God, is that it must be God, not ourselves, that builds what is holy within us.  (1.5 Mb)

And now, in the preceding program, my friends, we were seeing a few rather strange things that are not generally understood today and certainly not taught in the churches today. Why is it that we do not today hear the same message that Jesus Christ preached -- the gospel of Jesus Christ, but rather a different gospel today? A message about His person, certainly, but not the message that He preached. (3.5 Mb)

News Analysis
by Jon Bowles

given Oswestry UK 13 May 2006
This Prophetic News Analysis examines the important difference between the legal systems originally found in the English speaking areas of Ephraim and Manassah - based originally on scripture - and those European areas formerly dominated by the Catholic Holy Roman Empire. Prophecy indicates that the final political-religious system of this present world will be a final resurrection of that Holy Roman Empire . We should therefore be watching areas of the news that point in that prophesied direction - such as the removal of our legal safeguards.  (3.9 Mb)

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!
