“Charlottesville—Is Condemnation of Trump Justified?” is the newest StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:
What did really happen on August 12 in Charlottesville, Virginia? Was President Trump wrong in how he described the events? Did he equate the KKK, neo-Nazis and white supremacists with people like the innocent victim, Heather Heyer, who died at the hands of a murderer? Is the almost universal condemnation of the President’s words justified? What about the violent anti-Fascist movement? And what about the removal of the statue of Confederate general Robert E. Lee? What does this all mean for the future of our country?
We are deeply saddened to announce the death of long-time member, Michael Bott. We were informed by Pastor Brian Gale that Mr. Bott died Monday evening, August 14, 2017, in a Guernsey hospital. Mr. Bott had experienced failing health for some years.
“Der teuflische Zorn des Menschen,” is the title of this week’s new German sermon, presented by Norbert Link. Title in English: “The Devilish Wrath of Man.”
“All the World Is Guilty!” the sermonette presented last Sabbath by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:
The world is blind and deceived. Sin and unrighteousness are prevalent. But why is this the case? Are the people of this world innocent and helpless victims who don’t know any better? Why then does God say that the entire world is guilty in His eyes?
“Prophets, Prophecy and Prophesying,” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Kalon Mitchell, is now posted. Here is a summary:
A great deal is said in the Bible about prophets, what they did and the messages they brought. What about today? Do we have any of these people or attributes among us today? What about prophecy in the Bible? Is it something that will continue to unfold, or has all prophecy been completed? What does the Bible show us in these regards?
