Living Without Fear
Norbert Link | January 19, 2013
What are you afraid of? Do you fear people or the future? Are you too fearful to make necessary decisions? Do you fear death? Are you afraid of God and His Word? Do you fear that you might forsake God? That you might not make it into His Kingdom? That you might stop repenting? Christ came to free us from fear. This sermon shows you how you can live without fear.
Approved
Kalon Mitchell | January 19, 2013
Becoming approved happens to everyone. Depending on what the situation is, different types of approval will happen. As Christians, we are to become approved by God by the things that we are doing. This includes our continual growth and progress that will become evident to all we come in contact with.
The Small Things
Robb Harris | January 12, 2013
We are judged on the everyday minutia of our lives–including the bridling of our tongue. We must keep this in mind with all our interactions taking care to not offend.
The Key To Godliness
Dave Harris | January 5, 2013
Why did once faithful members slip back into the
world—summarily rejecting every truth of God they had once embraced? In the face
of all the biblical warnings of this happening, we must not allow ourselves to
fall prey to this deadly error!
Fear Whom?
Kalon Mitchell | December 29, 2012
What is fear? Fear happens when we have done something wrong and are expecting a penalty. So what does it mean to have fear of the Lord? When we have proper fear for God, we will not disobey God’s laws because we will have such a great love for God.
2012
Michael Link | December 29, 2012
A recap of events in 2012 which include natural disasters, gun violence, presidential re-election, terrorist attacks, end of the world prediction, as it all relates with what the Bible has to say about it. Also, what has the church as a whole experienced this year?
Christmas and New Year’s Celebrations
Norbert Link | December 22, 2012
What do you really know about the origin of Christmas and New Year’s celebrations? Why do we celebrate Christ’s birth on December 25 and New Year’s on January 1? Why do we decorate Christmas trees with candles? Why do we make noise on New Year’s Eve? Why did England and America prohibit Christmas celebrations for many decades? Learn the true facts, as revealed by English minister Alexander Hislop, the Reader’s Digest Association, and the German magazine PM.
The Ten Commandments and the Model Prayer
Norbert Link | December 22, 2012
Is there any relationship between the Ten Commandments and the Model Prayer in Matthew 6? Some parallels are obvious, such as, “Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain” and “Hallowed be thy name,” but in other cases, the connection may be less clear at first sight. However, this sermon shows how the different phrases in the “Lord’s Prayer” complement each and every one of the Ten Commandments.
Six-Hundred Years
Dave Harris | December 15, 2012
The flow of events following Judah’s captivity and the destruction of both Jerusalem and the Temple of God all paved the way for the first coming of the Messiah. As seemingly unlikely as it might have appeared in the time of Jeremiah, Daniel and Ezekiel, the re-establishment of Jews in Jerusalem and the rebuilding of God’s Temple was impossible to derail! The parallels for our time are inescapable!
Idolatry in the Book of Judges
Norbert Link | December 1, 2012
When we commit idolatry, we forsake the true God. The book of Judges gives us many examples and warns us not to follow the bad lead of the ancient Israelites. But sadly, our Christian nations engage today in the same kind of Baal and Astarte worship, and calamity will be the consequence.
Apostasy in the Church of God
Norbert Link | December 1, 2012
For over ten years, we have warned that another falling away from the truth will occur in the Church of God, but only very few have heeded the warning. We now see that the prophesied renewed apostasy has begun.
The Perfect Minister
Dave Harris | November 17, 2012
When it comes to the “gold standard” of ministers in any of our
lifetimes, Herbert W. Armstrong stands out because of his uncompromising
dedication to the Truth of God. However, there is really only one final
reference Who is the ultimate comparison—the supreme example of the truly
perfect Minister against which others are judged or measured, and that is Jesus
Christ. The ministry of the Church of God bears tremendous accountability to
continue to follow the Truth as God has and does reveal it to His faithful
servants.
The Trap of Idolatry
Norbert Link | November 10, 2012
The ancient houses of Israel and Judah engaged in idolatry and were severely punished by God. Today, our nations are guilty of the same transgressions. But God’s prohibition against idolatry is not limited to the worship of statutes of pagan gods. Rightly understood, when we transgress the Second Commandment, we are at the same time breaking all of the Ten Commandments. This sermon will explain why this is.
Two Masters
Kalon Mitchell | November 10, 2012
Christ told us that we either serve God or man. We have to choose which we will serve. When we decide to serve God, we have to learn how to adapt to being a christian. How can we do this?
How the Nations Will Learn
Norbert Link | November 3, 2012
When Christ rules on earth during the Millennium, how will the non-Israelite nations come to the point of repentance and acceptance of God’s Way of Life? Is it going to happen “overnight,” or will it require some time? How is God going to reveal Himself to them ? Why and how will they seek God and learn the truth? Why are the events, which are depicted in Ezekiel 38 and 39, significant in this regard?
Why Not Vote?
Michael Link | November 3, 2012
We need to understand that the world we live in today is not ruled by God, but by Satan. So why then would we involve ourselves in the political scene by voting, when everything they stand for is not in concordance with God’s laws? What does God think about this?
