Sermonette
by Ian Munro
Christ Does Not Change
given Bristol UK 10 Sept 2005
Do foundational doctrines reflect society? Can something like homosexuality, idol worship or Sabbath breaking be "declared" righteous today? This sermonette shows that The God who gave His Law - who defines right from wrong - does not change. And Jesus Christ - who we must emulate - remains completely "the same yesterday, today and forever" (Heb 13:8). (2.0 Mb)

Why Is The Church As It Is Today?
given Wales UK 3 Sept 2005
Today we find what was once the Church of God in a scattered state. But why? What is the purpose of God in having His Church in its present condition? There is one specific reason, and this sermon highlights it by emphasizing that we all must: Remember God's Purpose and Plan; Remember what has been prophesied for the end time; and Remember the 2 Trees, and Government - two aspects that Mr Armstrong constantly highlighted. (12.3 Mb)

God's Chosen Leaders
given Peterborough Canada 27 Aug 2005

Although thousands of years apart, they share a great deal in common, as they both came on the scene at times of crisis for the Truth of God - and both gave an anchor, a spiritual heritage, that was - and is still today - vital for the times in which we find ourselves. (10.0 Mb)

Dealing With Each Other for Unity At The Feast
given Owerri Nigeria 20 Aug 2005
This Sermon was given in Nigeria where the brethren will keep the Feast without a minister present. Mr Armstrong found that when a Church found itself in similar circumstances, there were often problems - but this was before the Internet, cassette tapes, mobile phones etc. Today, God expects us to grow in grace and knowledge on an individual basis - and there are specific steps we can take to ensure that Godly unity can be maintained. (11.1 Mb)

News Analysis
by Jon Bowles

given Wales UK 30 July 2005
This news analysis deals with the recent terror attacks in London, and some of the more disturbing comments that have been made as a result - comments that may eventually even have an impact on God's Church. Legislation is being passed that has to be seen to be "even handed", so the measures proposed are not just designed against Islamic organizations, but other religious organizations as well. However, a key ingredient that separates us from such groups in the eyes of the world is given - that we are pre-millenialist, and therefore only believe in the forcible replacement of civilization after the return of Jesus Christ. (1.5 Mb)

Sermon

Hungering for God's Righteousness
given 11 June 1983 - played Wales UK 30 July 2005
This sermon was given when the Church was being put back on Track - and deals extensively with the makeup issue and how some would only agree to change if they were backed into a corner by scripture. Mr. Armstrong points out that sin involves much more than breaking the letter of the law. It involves an attitude that flows contrary to God's Life Style. We must instead hunger and thirst for that Life Style - That Way - the very righteousness of God. (10.2 Mb)

Will Satan be Destroyed?
given Bristol UK 9 July 2005

This sermonette explains this, and gives the true meaning of the verse found in Ezek 28. (1.3 Mb)

The News Behind The News
given Bristol UK 9 July 2005
This Sermon shows how the news being presented to us in the media, does not concentrate on the important items that allow us to see prophecy unfold, but rather on items that will give those providing it the greatest profit possible. For this reason, we have to dig deeper ourselves - in such areas as: Wars; Famines; Natural disasters; the Israelitish nations; Europe; The Middle East; The Far East; and Religion.

“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!
