The YouTube channel for the Church of the Eternal God presents past videos for StandingWatch programs along with sermonettes, sermons and promotional videos. These are also available on our website: www.eternalgod.org.

“Is America Destroying Itself?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

This program contains many examples proving that America is deeply divided, and division leads to destruction. One author wrote that the US collapse would be one of the most spectacular instances of decline in world history. The sad truth is that we are doing it to ourselves, and it has been prophesied to occur.

The German translation of our most recent booklet, “Obeying God rather than men,” has been sent to our Graphic Designer, Shelly Bruno, for finalization. The German title  is: “Man muss Gott mehr gehorchen als den Menschen”.

“Der kommende Untergang Deutschlands,” is the title of a new German sermon for this Sabbath, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Title in English: “Germany’s Coming Destruction.”

“Both Feet In,” the sermonette presented last Sabbath by Michael Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

Since our calling to the truth, we have had a foot in the door. To bring our other foot in was our choice to get baptized and to live God’s way of life. Even though we still go through struggles, what do we need to do to keep both feet in, and what does God promise to all who remain faithful until the end?

“The Destruction of Germany,” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

In the Old Testament book of Nahum, the destruction of the ancient city of Nineveh—capital of the Assyrian Empire—is described in vivid detail. But the prophet Nahum is foremost speaking about the coming destruction of modern Germany. The specific description of Germany’s fate is sobering. At the same time, it reveals much about God’s character.

“The Paradox of BLM and the Fight against Racism,” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

Do the Black Lives Matter (BLM) Movement and violent riots and protests against racism really help the black community, or do they hurt them and others? Do they in fact contribute to the destruction of the USA and the UK? In this program, we will examine many examples to give you the indisputable answers to these questions. 

“Sind Sie ein eitler Windhauch?” is the title of a new German split sermon for this Sabbath, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. The title in English: “Are You a Vain Breath of Wind?” 

“Tun oder Sterben,” is the title of a new German split sermon for this Sabbath, presented by Michael Link. The title in English: “Do or Die.” 

Last week’s German sermonette by Daniel Blasinger (“Vom Wesen der Freundschaft”) and the German sermon by Thilo Hanstein (“Ein Leben im Reich Gottes in der Zeit des Millenniums”) were also posted.

“Success With the Right Tools,” the sermonette presented last Sabbath by Robb Harris, is now posted. Here is a summary:

Mankind has been duped into believing that following ALL of God’s Laws is burdensome. But you cannot find success in following God if you aren’t willing to use ALL of the Laws He has provided us to know Him. We can only be transformed into children of God if our every action and thought is a reflection of His commandments.

“HEBREWS—Spoken to Us!” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Dave Harris, is now posted. Here is a summary:

The Book of Hebrews offers us a sweeping view of God’s salvation for us—for the firstfruits. The greatness of our calling at this time and the dire consequences if we fall away are messages by which we are now being judged. Will we hear what God is saying?

“Why the UK’s Downfall Is Certain!” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

A no-deal Brexit is becoming more and more a strong possibility, and attempts of obtaining help from Germany may fail. A thought-provoking article in the Daily Mail suggests that we are observing the final abolition of Britain, and that “all the pillars of British freedom and civilization are hollow and rotten.” Does the Bible confirm this assessment?

A new German AufPostenStehen program, covering the same topic, has been produced as well. The German title is: “Der Untergang Grossbritanniens ist sicher!” 

A new Member Letter (June 2020) has been written by Elder Robb Harris. This letter is a reminder that persecution of Christians is growing, and our relationship with God must become stronger and stronger in order to face what lies ahead.

A monthly Tech Meeting was conducted on Sunday, June 14, 2020. Hosted by Elder Eric Rank, much focus was given to our use of YouTube and Facebook in our promotional videos and other technology-related items were presented.

“Was für ein Wahnsinn,” the sermonette presented last Sabbath in Germany by Deacon Johann Schell, is now posted. Title in English: “What nonsense!”

“Sind Sie ein wahrer Christ?”, the sermon presented last Sabbath in Germany by Elder Christoph Sperzel is now posted. Title in English: “Are you a true Christian?”

“The Language of Violence,” the sermonette presented last Sabbath by Eric Rank, is now posted. Here is a summary:

With protests and anger dominating the news, we see escalating emotions, rhetoric, and violent action taking place around us. It seems that the only way that people can be heard in the world requires this kind of confrontation. Is there a better way? There is, and God commands it.

“The Yoke of Sainthood,” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Robb Harris, is now posted. Here is a summary:

When we stepped out from our watery grave, a yoke of obedience to God was placed upon our shoulders. Submission to Gods laws appears easier when life is full of blessings and peace abounds. But we weren’t called out from the world for idle pursuits. Instead, we have been chosen to fight for truth because Godliness draws the attention from this world’s king. We must be preparing today as chaos grows deeper all around us.

“Obeying God Rather Than Men,” is the title of a new video promoting our new booklet by the same name. Produced by Michael Link, this promo is also featured in our newest StandingWatch program—as described below:

“Do You Disobey God While Accepting the Mark of the Beast?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

In this time of confusion, many may unknowingly accept the mark of the beast without which they cannot buy or sell. Some point out that you can’t go shopping without wearing a mask or practicing social distancing; that you might be forced to become vaccinated or to accept some tracking device or a microchip with medical data. What about this? And whom do you obey when there is a real conflict between the laws of God and the injunctions of men?

“Hostility between Germany and the USA Continues (Comments on News and Prophecy, June 6, 2020),” the first message during last Sabbath’s service and presented by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

Angela Merkel refused to join the G7, to be hosted by Donald Trump at the end of June, who reacted with anger and postponed the entire summit until this fall. Germany sided with the protests in the USA against police brutality and racial discrimination and openly declared that they are done with Trump. In response, Trump announced that he will withdraw about 9,500 American troops from Germany, causing a sharp rebuke from German governmental officials. Germany also announced that while they will be allowing Europeans to travel freely throughout Europe by June 15, this will not include Americans. Where will this continuing alienation and hostility lead?

“The Tools of God,” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Kalon Mitchell, is now posted. Here is a summary:

It is important to have the proper tools when you are working in order to be able to create or to build any thing worthwhile. In all areas of life we find that those who wield tools properly help to build up and support others in what they do. Having tools is one thing, but knowing how to use them skillfully is another. As Christians, what tools are at our disposal? And how do we use them effectively and powerfully to accomplish the Work of God, for which we have been called?

The German sermonette, which was given last Sabbath by Dmitrij Niemann, has been posted. It is titled: Beständiger Kampf” (in English, “Continuous Battle”).

compiled by Dave Harris

“Satan’s Wrath Against Britain” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

The relationship between the UK and the EU is getting worse. And while the UK is descending more and more into an economic and political abyss, core European nations will soon be emerging strongly. How can we say this so dogmatically? And what role does the coronavirus crisis play in all of this?

Our new booklet, “Obeying God Rather than Men,” has been sent out this week to our subscribers.

“Unser christlicher Lebensweg in einer Welt der Finsternis,” is the title of this Sabbath’s new German sermon, presented by Norbert Link. Title in English: “Our Christian Way of Life in a World of Darkness.”

“National Rules and Christian Responsibility—Comments on News and Prophecy (May 30, 2020),” the first message which was presented last Sabbath by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

What does it mean to obey God rather than men? Are we to just believe blindly what the mainstream media, doctors and politicians are telling us? How can we watch events in the light of biblical prophecy unless we are willing to look behind the official façade? What about Europe’s opposition to Israel; German and US guidelines for school children; the financial downfall of the USA; unreliable statistics pertaining to the coronavirus; the questionable effectiveness of the lockdown; Alan Dershowitz’s wrong understanding of the Bible; violent riots in the USA; public prayers by women; and holding grudges?

“Facing Death,” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Michael Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

The Bible has many examples of those who went above and beyond in faith and courage, when all seemed hopeless, but that didn’t stop Daniel and his 3 companions, Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-Nego, to stand up for what was right and put their complete trust in God, who saved them from death.

“Jesus Christus, der König der Juden,” the Offertory presented in Germany for Pentecost by Mario Danisch, is now posted. Title in English: “Jesus Christ, the King of the Jews.”

“Wird Christus Glauben finden auf Erden?”, the sermon presented in Germany for Pentecost by Norbert Link, is now posted. Title in English: “Will Christ Find Faith on Earth?”

“Singleness of Heart,” the sermonette presented during the morning services for Pentecost by Dave Harris, is now posted. Here is a summary:

There was a time in recent years in which the Church of God had tremendous unity, but that was lost by far too many. Are you among those who are zealously keeping the Truth of God—without compromise?

“The Journey and The Destination,” the sermon presented during the morning services for Pentecost by Eric Rank, is now posted. Here is a summary:

With the passing of time we gain experience that shapes our character. Are we taking advantage of our opportunities, or refusing to use the Holy Spirit to learn the lessons presented to us? Are we focused only on reaching the destination, but neglecting to pay attention along the way? The Christian journey involves continual growth as we aim towards the destination of perfection.

“The Greatest Gift,” the Offertory presented during the afternoon services for Pentecost by Kalon Mitchell, is now posted. Here is a summary:

God gives us amazing gifts constantly. How do we respond in turn? Our offerings are important to God as He has commanded them. But what is our attitude? Is God pleased with our offerings based on our actions in how we live our lives?

“Will Christ Find Faith on the Earth?”,the sermon presented during afternoon services for Pentecost by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

Do we have faith in God and His power to work miracles? But is this kind of faith sufficient in order to be able to enter the Kingdom of God, or is an additional kind of faith required? What exactly is that faith which God’s Holy Spirit must give us? How is faith described in the Bible; why does it not have anything to do with what we can see; and why does doubt destroy our faith?

A new Member Letter (May, 2020) is now posted and has been mailed to our subscribers. Elder Eric Rank writes about the trials and tests we face, and the opportunity for us to really examine the underlying motivations of our behavior.

“Welche Früchte will Gott in Ihnen sehen?” is the title of the German sermon for this Sabbath, presented by Pastor Michael Link. Title in English: “What fruits does God want to see in you?”

“Wird Christus Glauben finden auf Erden?” is the title for the German sermon for Pentecost, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Title in English: “Will Christ Find Faith on Earth?”

“In Schwachheit stark sein,” is the title of last Sabbath’s German sermonette, presented by elder Thilo Hanstein. Title in English: “To Be Strong in Weakness.”

“Walk a Mile,” the sermonette presented last Sabbath by elder Kalon Mitchell, is now posted. Here is a summary:

When we start to talk about people behind their back, we cause division and strife. The Bible tells us instead to have mercy and empathy for others. We should work to help instead of accuse. God is the Judge and He alone reserves the right to pass judgement on people. How can we make sure that we are not doing those things that hurt others, but rather build them up?

“Are You Ready for the Day of the Lord?”, the sermon presented last Sabbath by Evangelist Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

The Bible speaks of the terrible Day of the Lord and admonishes us to be prepared and not to be caught off-guard. Especially the book of Joel contains many warnings and shows us what will happen during that future time which is not far from us.

A powerful NEW Trailer about our new booklet, “The Ten Commandments,” has been produced by Pastor Michael Link. It is viewable on YouTube and on our homepage (https://www.eternalgod.org/).

“Pope Francis Attacks True Christianity!” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

In recent comments, Pope Francis displayed his utter ignorance of what true Christianity is all about, and he attacked true Christians in a totally inconsistent and contradictory way. WHAT DID HE SAY which was so terribly wrong? And WHY were some of his comments so utterly hypocritical? Please stay tuned to the END of this program for a very important announcement.

“Müssen wir bei Unrecht schweigen?” is the title of this Sabbath’s new German sermon, presented by Norbert Link. Title in English: “Must We Be Silent in the Face of Injustice?”

“Denn sie wissen nicht, was sie tun,” is the title of last Sabbath’s German sermonette, presented by Mike Richter. Title in English: “They Don’t Know What They’re Doing.”

“Those Things and These Things,” the sermonette presented last Sabbath by Dave Harris, is now posted. Here is a summary:

If we truly seek to be in God’s Kingdom, then we must not compromise with the Truth of God. Rather, we must faithfully learn and live by the doctrines of God.

“Preparing for Eternity,” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Robb Harris, is now posted. Here is a summary:

God entrusted His physical creation into the hands of man, to tend and care for our surroundings. This job was for our own physical needs and happiness. The physical is a reflection of the spiritual realm, and likewise needs tending, with the ultimate goal of directing man to God. Man has utterly failed in maintaining the physical creation as well as the spiritual necessity of drawing closer to God—as we were designed. We must not let our commission dim, even as the world around us draws closer to destruction.

Our newest booklet, “Obeying God Rather Than Man,” is now posted.  Copies of this booklet will be sent to our subscribers following printing.

“Haunted Houses and Ghosts during Self-Isolation?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary: 

Being confined for an extended period of time to self-isolation and quarantine can have a devastating psychological effect on some people. But can it even cause imagined or real paranormal encounters with ghosts, as some claim?

“Verlieren wir unsere Freiheiten für immer?” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link. This program covers the topic described in last week’s StandingWatch program with some additional material (“Will We Lose Our Freedoms Forever?”).

“Mäßige Dein Temperament,” is the title of last Sabbath’s sermonette in Germany, presented by Christoph Sperzel. Title in English: “Moderate Your Temperament.”

“The Light of the Bible,” the sermonette presented last Sabbath by Robb Harris, is now posted. Here is a summary:

We are surrounded by a culture that cannot find truth.  The deception of Satan is so complete that his lies are the only truth many understand.  We must stay clear of any worldly persuasions that lead us, not to truth, but into deceit that blinds the world of God’s truth.

“Committed,” is the title of last Sabbath’s sermon, presented by Eric Rank. Here is a summary:

When we started our Christian journey, there was no way to know all of the challenges we would face and how our lives would change. Knowing that we will continue to face challenges and change, are we committed to persevere? What are the sources of inspiration that we can draw from to help us strengthen our commitment?

A Tech Team meeting was conducted on Sunday, May 3, 2020, via SKYPE. Hosted by Eric Rank, discussions regarding prayer request procedures and the Church’s homepage layout were conducted; and several assignments for future work were made.

A new video, “And Lawlessness Will Abound,” has been produced by Michael Link—in both English and German.

Our newest booklet, “Obeying God Rather Than Man,” has been sent to graphic artist, Shelly Bruno, in preparation for printing. We expect to have this new booklet, written by Norbert Link, sent to the printer next week and published and posted to our website very soon. Translations of the booklet into German, Spanish and French have already begun. 

“Will We Lose our Freedoms Forever?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

The Roman Catholic Church did not stand up to the Nazis during World War II, which has now been admitted by Germany’s Council of Catholic bishops in a “confession of guilt.” Today, our freedoms are once again threatened, including in the USA. Have we learned from history, or are we repeating the same mistakes by being silent in the face of adversity and danger? This program cites many troublesome examples and includes a frightening warning. It ends with an important announcement which you should not miss.

“Gott warnt uns und gibt uns zugleich Hoffnung!” is the title of this Sabbath’s new German sermon, presented by Norbert Link. Title in English: “God Warns Us and at the Same Time Gives Us Hope!”

“Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin” https://www.ewigengottes.de/2020/05/02/mene-mene-tekel-upharsin/ is the title of the German sermonette given last week by Johann Schell. 

“Who to Trust?” the sermonette presented last Sabbath by Michael Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

We have to be careful where we put our trust.  The Bible gives us many examples where we should not put our complete trust and confidence.   In contrast, we should always put our complete trust in our creator – God the Father, no matter what situation we find ourselves in.

“The Precious Blood of Jesus Christ” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

Why did Jesus Christ die and shed His blood for us? Was there no other way to carry out God’s Plan? What did His death accomplish for us? Since when was it established that Christ would give His life for us? Are we truly thankful for His priceless Sacrifice, and do we show our thankfulness in our daily lives?

compiled by Dave Harris

Our new booklet, “The Ten Commandments,” has been sent to our subscribers and is available on line.

“Worldwide Famine is Prophesied” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

Not only are we experiencing worldwide pandemics, but we are also confronted with the global threat of famine. Is it even conceivable that we might face famine in the USA? The Bible says as much, and this program shows how it is already happening.

“Sind Sie auf die schreckliche Zukunft vorbereitet?” is the title of this Sabbath’s new German sermon, presented by Norbert Link. Title in English: “Are You Prepared for the Terrible Future?”

“Die beste Krisenvorsorge,” the sermonette presented last Sabbath in Germany by Robert Macher  is now posted. Title in English: “The Best Crisis Preparedness.”

“Wenn die Hoffnung schwindet,” the sermon presented last Sabbath in Germany by Thilo Hanstein, is now posted. Title in English: “When Hope Fades.”

“Leaving So Soon,” the sermonette presented last Sabbath by Frank Bruno, is now posted. Here is a summary:

We know that in the end times, many will fall away from their faith, and people will hate and betray one another. If any of us needed affirmation of this, COVID-19 has provided a simple introduction to the emptiness of relying solely on mankind to bring us through a crisis. We have witnessed many so quickly buying into mass hysteria, and seeking authority to turn one-another in for not complying with a political solution. God imbued in us the ability to choose and discern what is good and that which is not Godly. This Sermonette will offer the scriptural support that we need during this time, and in the trials to come. We can choose to turn to God with confidence and obedience, rather than a path that leads to something far more terminal than any virus.

“Father and Mother,” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Dave Harris, is now posted. Here is a summary:

Parents hold an awesome responsibility in forming the ultimate Family of God. When God created mankind, He made them male and female for the purpose of populating the earth. In fact, God created man, male and female, to fulfill the roles of father and mother—positions of great honor in the plan of God!
