Why Christ Cursed The Fig Tree
given Wales UK 25 March 2006
In Mark 11:14 Jesus Christ comes to a fig tree - before the "time of figs" - and finding no figs, he cursed the tree and it withered. Did Christ do this because he was angry? 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. (1.0 Mb)

Understanding The Old Testament Sacrifices
given Bristol UK 18 March 2006
The Passover is only a few weeks away, and is our commanded memorial of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. However, how much do we understand the sacrifices found in the Old Testament? These rituals picture some profound fulfillments, and in remarkable detail. This sermon shows how they can be organised into two overall categories: Those that restore our relationship with God, and those that maintain it. (12.4 Mb)

A Constant Awareness of Satan

For us to succeed in overcoming this foe, we not only need to be aware of the battle we are in, but be sure such awareness remains constant - through both good times and bad. (3.0 Mb)

News Analysis
by Jon Bowles

given Oswestry UK 25 Feb 2006
This Prophetic News Analysis briefly looks at recent news within the overall categories of: False Religion; War; Famine; Pestilence - leading to the events of the Great Tribulation. This is clearly seen when Matt 24:5-8 is compared with Rev 6:1-9. Each of the 4 horsemen can be seen today - as birth-pains that not only are rising and falling, but whose contractions are also moving steadily together and increasing in intensity. (3.8 Mb)

Sermon

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)

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)

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)

Mr Armstrong then goes on to show how the resurrection of Jesus Christ had to be absolutely precise - both after and on, 3 days and 3 nights. (3.4 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!
