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) | ||

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) | ||

But we have not heard very much about the message He preached..." (4.4 Mb) | ||

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?
