World Tomorrow
by Mr Armstrong
Repent!
given 28 June 1979 played Wales UK 8 Apr 2006
Now, my friends, once again, why is it that we have not heard the gospel of Jesus Christ, but a gospel of men about this person? Now we've been going though the New Testament to see what gospel Jesus did preach, what He taught His disciples, and the customs that He practiced. We have just seen during the past week how Jesus was sending His students -- His learners (because the word disciple means a student or a learner) -- out on a practice preaching mission. (Advertised in this broadcast is: Just What Do You Mean Conversion?) (3.4 Mb)

Sermon
by Jon Bowles
Why The Passover?
given Wales UK 8 Apr 2006
For normal Holy Days, there is invariably a sermon on the meaning of the day - showing how the day fits within the Plan of God. For the Passover however, this is not the case. As this sermon was given just a few days before the Passover, it gives "The Meaning of The Day", and covers the following points: A Memorial of Christ's Death for Sin; A Token of the New Covenant in His Blood; Freedom from Slavery; To Remain Part of Spiritual Israel; and To Allow the Holy Days - and Plan of God - to begin. (11.4 Mb)

News Analysis

Perverted Science
given Wales UK 1 April 2006
This Prophetic News Analysis is extended to 45 mins due to a shorter Bible Study from Mr Armstrong being played this week. More scriptures are therefore examined that tie in with recent news items. A distinct parallel can be drawn today with a speech given by Mr Winston Churchill concerning Hitler on June 18, 1940, when he describes "...a new Dark Age, made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science..."

Why Christ Cursed The Fig Tree
given Wales UK 25 March 2006

Or is there more to the story? This sermonette explains the profound meaning, and shows how it has much to tell us at this time of year.

Understanding The Old Testament Sacrifices
given Bristol UK 18 March 2006

Sermon
by Mr. Armstrong
Unity
given 4 Feb 1984 - played Wales UK 11 Feb 2006
In this sermon, Mr Armstrong talks of God's Way to unity via His Spirit - both in the World Tomorrow, and within the Church. He also makes the profound statement below, that had we listened - and acted on it swiftly when the leaders within Worldwide apostasized - we may not have had to go through much of the trauma we did! "...Turn back to Romans, the last chapter of Romans, sixteenth chapter and verse 17 ... God says mark them and avoid them! Now there are two ways we can avoid them and only two that I know: One is if we leave them in the church and we all go out and we are no longer in the church, the other is that we put them out and we stay in. Now brethren I think we prefer to stay in, and so our choice is going to be to put them out!..." (play this section...at 78min 52sec) (15.1 Mb)

News Analysis
by Jon Bowles

given Wales UK 11 Feb 2006
This Prophetic News Analysis deals with the issue of the cartoons depicting Mohammed that have caused such a furore in the world recently. The news reports tend to show a world that is much like Pontius Pilate who chose to do what was expedient, rather than what was right. This state of affairs within the nations that God recognises as Israelites to day - the English speaking peoples - rests on their rejection of their former foundation for moral judgement. That moral compass that they once both respected and used, and today reject and ignore, was God's Word - the Bible.  (3.6 Mb)

We've heard a lot about what a wonderful man He was. We've heard him deified. We have heard that He is worthy of worship. We've heard a lot about him. But we have not heard very much about the message He preached...." (4.4 Mb)

Sermon

Becoming A True Christian Leader
given Peterborough Canada 4 Feb 2006
Leadership is not only a real problem within the world at large - but also within the True Church as well. Yet the very purpose of the Church is to prepare kings and priests to reign with Christ in the World Tomorrow. Such roles will require true leadership. Are we developing the qualities required? Do we know what those qualities are? Can we recognise what kind of leaders God expects us to follow today? This subject is absolutely vital for this time in the history of God's Church - as well as for all our future roles. (8.3 Mb)

Split Sermon
by Jon Bowles
Growing - While Holding Fast
given Bristol UK 21 Jan 2006
So many organisations - formerly part of WCG - try to justify their departure from the faith once delivered by quoting that we must "grow in grace and knowledge" (2Pet 3:18). But they fail to answer the real questions: Who does God indicate has the right to place Truth in His Church? What area must we grow in? What area must we hold fast, as commanded in Rev 3:11.  (8.1 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!
