Am I Building a Relationship With Christ? given Peterborough Canada 5 April 2008 |

Conducting a Spiritual Examination given Peterborough Canada 29 March 2008 |
On the approach to Passover, it is essential that we who are baptised take the time to examine ourselves. But we need to be very careful that we are indeed looking at "ourselves" - not scrutinising others! (11.0 Mb) | ||

It is clear that the current financial crisis is coming not merely from the banks but from the people behind them. And to take this a step further, from the families they grew up in and the wider society. But looking at the news from this past week alone, it is clear that the real problem is spiritual.

A Positive Message given 1 Dec 1977 at Pasadena USA - Played Wales UK 22 Mar 2008 |
Begins: "...Today I have good news for you - very good news. This Church needs a reawakening..." Mr Armstrong then points out that the word, "Gospel" means "Good News" - yet the Church was concentrating far too much on the bad news found in the world. He then publically repents of his part in allowing the Work to move off-Track in this area. He also clearly explains that the responsibility to preach the True Gospel to the world was something given to him personally, not the Church. (9.0 Mb) | ||

What Is Today's Work? given Bristol UK 15 March 2008 |

Study The Bible As A King given Wales UK 23 Feb 2008 |
A king of Israel was supposed to write out for himself a copy of the scriptures so that "he shall read therein all the days of his life" (Deut 17:19). But the study of God's Word is not only something for ancient kings. It is even more necessary for those now preparing to become the Spirit-born Kings of the future - destined to rule with Jesus Christ for eternity. (13.0 Mb) | ||

The Long Journey of Faith given Peterborough Canada 16 Feb 2008 |
During the time of Christ, carnal people had their faith rewarded at times by some spectacular miracles. But for salvation, the faith required is somewhat different. Such faith must be the same kind of faith Christ himself had: A living faith that originates from God, and which enables God's children to go "the long-haul" - trusting Him, come what may.

Friends, Foes and Forgiveness given Bristol UK 9 Feb 2008 |
Many people look on the God of the Old Testament as a harsh stern monster - whereas, they view Jesus Christ as abolishing His Father's Law and instead simply forgives all and invites them to "come as they are". Nothing could be further from the truth found in scripture. The Bible - Old and New Testament - is a single revelation by a Loving God who seeks genuine repentance in all His potential sons and daughters. (11.0 Mb) | ||

We Are the Temple given 22 Aug 1981 at Big Sandy USA - Played Wales UK 2 Feb 2008 |
Begins: "... The largest group that has ever assembled here in Big Sandy. We had quite a large number when I was here, was it February or March? ..." Mr Armstrong then expands on the forum the previous day: Why Ambassador College? and explains how the whole world has lost its way - including the "christian" religions who merely want to "receive Christ", and "GET saved". But the true Way of God is a way of Give, not get. And the True Church has a vital role - to become the Spiritual Temple to which Jesus Christ will return. (15.0 Mb) | ||

God - the Prophetic Historian given Wales UK 19 Jan 2008 |
In the sample prayer, Christ gave us a clear indication that when beginning to pray we first need to get our minds off ourselves, and onto God. An important aspect of this, is to better understand God's approach - where He is "coming from" - and notice how both the historical and the prophetic always seem inexorably linked together.
