The 5000 Wanted More Physical Food
broadcast 2 July 1979 - played Wales UK 4 Apr 2009
"...Fed these 5000 men, and a lot of women and children, the number of women and children was not numbered. The very next day, in the synagogue over in Capernaum, across the sea, that very same crowd that had taken the loaves and the fishes from the hand of Christ, and by the miracle that He performed out of compassion for them, rejected Him and turned away from Him when He offered them really spiritual food instead of just material position. They wanted Him to be a political messiah that would free them from the Roman yoke right then and there..." (3.0 Mb)

News Analysis
by Jon Bowles

given Wales UK 28 March 2009
There seems to be a certain madness within so many of the news items that appear in our papers today. This is particularly true of the political reaction to the financial crisis. When we understand the spiritual influences at work during the end-time, we should not be too surprised. (3.0 Mb)

"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." (3.0 Mb)

Our Spiritual Legacy
given Bristol UK 14 March 2009
The spiritual legacy we have been left does not only consist of doctrines directly given within scripture. It also consists of traditions, based on scripture, that were given by the individual through whom God revealed His Truth. What is more, the identical process can also be seen operating in the early New Testament Church. (2.0 Mb)

Is Money The Root Of Evil?
given Wales UK 7 March 2009
People sometimes use biblical quotations in day to day life, but so often misquote in some way. "Money is the root of all evil", is just one such quote. But only when you go back to 1Tim 6:10 and read what it really does say, do you discover its original, true, full meaning. (1.0 Mb)

Accreditation
given 17 Apr 1982 - Played Wales UK 7 March 2009
Begins: "...Well the first festival of Unleavened Bread for 1982 is now over. For the past 3 1/2 years Jesus Christ has been putting this Church - His Church - back on the Track..." Mr Armstrong then goes back to the beginning in order to put both modern higher education, and the education of disciples (or students) within God's True Church, into their respective context. And the clear conclusion, is that modern higher-education is based on the very antithesis of what Christ requires in His disciples. (13.0 Mb)

Feeding The Sheep of God
given Peterborough Canada 28 Feb 2009
In a passage found in John 21 Jesus Christ three times asks Peter if he loves Him, and then each time instructs him to "feed my sheep". But it is only when you go to the original Greek version of the passage that the meaning becomes clear: To adequately feed and shepherd God's sheep requires the very love of God Himself. And that is something we all require. (9.0 Mb)

"And again, we could have good news today if we knew the way. There is only one reason why we are having all the troubles, the wars, and everything we have, that's because we don't know the way to peace, to prosperity, to happiness, to every thing we want. That way has been revealed, the way has been made known, and men have always rejected it." (3.0 Mb)

The Funeral Service
given Wales UK 21 Feb 2009
The funeral service of the Church of God is incredibly different from any other you will hear in the world. Designed not for the one who died, but for those who are left, not only is it profound, upbeat and encouraging, but shows: That death can only be understood by revelation; This life is only a temporary chemical existence; There is no immortal soul in man mentioned in scripture; God offers real life; The purpose of life is to build holy, righteous, Godly character, ready for real Spirit life. (8.0 Mb)

"My friends, why is it that today we not only have bad news, but we hear a kind of preaching that's certainly different from that which the people were hearing when Jesus Christ was on earth or during the ministry of the true Church of God under the apostles in the first century after Christ had ascended to heaven? Now, we've been going through the New Testament to see what Jesus did teach, and what He taught His disciples, what they preached. And we have been here in the 9th and 10th chapters of Matthew where Jesus had sent His disciples out on a practice mission." (3.0 Mb)

An Obama-Washington Leader Comparison
given Peterborough Canada 24 Jan 2009
So much news coverage of Mr Barack Obama tends to present him as some kind of saviour of the world. But what are his true qualities of leadership, from God's perspective? This sermonette takes segments of his inaugural address, and that of George Washington and finds two very different approaches. And yet what God is looking for is much nearer that of yesteryear, than that of today. (1.0 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!
