Sermon Archives
Mark
Norbert Link | September 8, 2012
Are you discouraged? Do you think about giving up? Or do you feel that you could never fail? Then this sermon is for you. We find out, from the life of Mark, that it is important to go on, with the help of God.
Trials
Kalon Mitchell | September 8, 2012
For thousands of years, people have been going through trials. We have to go through trials so that we can learn to have compassion for others. We need to learn to find joy in trials. Only then can we learn how to be perfect.
Your Servant
Dave Harris | September 1, 2012
Jesus Christ said, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” but is His statement just a nice platitude that is often quoted but rarely applied?He also said that those who wished to be great should be “your servant.” Just how these instructions from Christ apply to Christians is a vital key for our lives and our future.
What Would Be Jesus’ Vote?
Norbert Link | August 25, 2012
“Presidential campaigns never fail to receive enormous media coverage in the United Sates… But what would Jesus Christ do during a U.S. election…? Who would he vote for? Would he register as a Democrat or a Republican?” These words, written by Herbert W. Armstrong prior to 1984, are as relevant for us today as they were then. What would Christ do today, and what should true Christians do?
The Heart of Man
Eric Rank | August 18, 2012
The nature of the heart of man may be different than we believe it to be. The Bible teaches us that we must be aware of the evil impulses that the heart is prone to. This is very important because the heart in the Bible refers to the inner nature of our character. To overcome the deception and evil that may be in our heart, we need to rely on God to examine and expose our weaknesses. Only by coming to God with a broken heart can we live a life that is pleasing to Him.
Christ in the Old Testament
Norbert Link | August 11, 2012
Did Moses know Christ? Was he aware of His existence of God and His coming as the Messiah? Jesus said that Moses wrote about Him. In what way? And what about Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David, Isaiah and others? Were they Christians? Actually, what IS a Christian?
War in the Millennium?
Norbert Link | August 4, 2012
Passages in Ezekiel 38 and 39 describe an invasion of Asiatic hordes in the Middle East. Do these Scriptures address the time prior to or subsequent to Christ’s coming? Are they speaking of the same time as the events in Revelation 20? Who is Gog of the land of Magog? And who are the other nations mentioned in these passages? What will happen when these nations attack Israel?
My Servant
Dave Harris | July 28, 2012
What do you think of when you hear the word “servant”? Is it positive, or do you associate it with an archaic caste system? Do you think only in terms of a slave and slavery? You might just be surprised when the concept of servant is viewed from a biblical perspective.
The Colorado Massacre
Norbert Link | July 21, 2012
The mass murder in one of Colorado’s theaters during a midnight showing of the new Batman movie has shocked and bewildered many, and answers for the unthinkable are being sought. Some valid considerations contribute, more or less, to the understanding of the nature of evil deeds, but they do not fully comprehend the problem at hand, nor do they solve it.
What Does God Say About Circumcision
Norbert Link | July 21, 2012
A recent German court ruling that criminalizes the circumcision of babies and young boys for religious reasons, has caused an outcry of condemnation around the world, but most Germans welcome and approve of the decision. What does the Bible say about circumcision? Is it still binding for Christians today? Is it allowed or prohibited? The answer may surprise you.
Captivity Reversed
Norbert Link | June 30, 2012
The ninth chapter of the book of Daniel teaches us that Jesus Christ was killed in 31 A.D., after 3 ½ years of His public ministry, which began in 27 A.D. Since it was decreed that He should conduct His public ministry for seven years, He will complete the remaining 3 ½ years here on earth after His return. During that time, He will end the captivity of the enslaved modern descendants of the houses of Israel and Judah; deal with them in the wilderness; and ultimately bring them, together with the resurrected King David, to the Promised Land.
The End of Europe – Part 2
Norbert Link | June 23, 2012
As God will end the rule of the physical powers of this world, including the last resurrection of the Roman Empire in Europe and the Babylonian system, so He will also deal with the responsible evil spiritual powers which are working behind the scene. Satan and his demons will be imprisoned in the bottomless pit, also called the abyss, so that they cannot deceive the world anymore during the Millennium. But where will this prison be, and what is it, exactly? And what is the relationship between the abyss and Europe?
Between Good and Evil
Eric Rank | June 23, 2012
4>Eric Rank | June 23, 2012
God has established the standard of what is good and what is evil. Man, having eaten from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil has gained the capacity to judge between what is good and evil. However, the carnal nature of man causes an inevitable discrepancy between what is good according to God’s standard and what man thinks is good. The only way to correctly judge what is good is by using the Holy Spirit to build the knowledge of what God’s standards are.

The End of Europe – Part 1
Norbert Link | June 16, 2012
In a decisive battle after Christ’s return, the armies of this world, including the European beast power, will be defeated in the Kidron Valley or the Valley of Jehoshaphat. There will be no battle of Armageddon. The saints, as immortal and born again members of the Kingdom of God, will reign with and under Christ over the earth—but they will rule on the earth, and not in or from heaven.
Filters
Kalon Mitchell | June 16, 2012
In photography, you can use filters to change how a picture looks. Spiritually speaking, we use filters to change our lives and we have to be careful what filters we apply in our lives. What filters are we to use then?
A Broken People
Robb Harris | June 9, 2012
We live in a society that rejects God’s Will and a by product of that rejection is a decay of spiritual and physical blessings. If we focus on our own will we will find that God is distant and inaccessible. By coming to God with a broken-hearted attitude we can, like many authors of biblical book, find God and develop a relationship with Him.
Cause and Effect
Eric Rank | June 9, 2012
God works by applying the principle of cause and effect. Knowing this is true, and combining the fact that God cannot lie, we can be certain that the ultimate plans that God has will be effected. We can also expect that our behavior will trigger effects that may impact our own future, but others as well. By following the instructions commanded in the Bible, we are provided with the tools necessary to achieve the end goal of eternal life.
Falling Away
Eric Rank | May 27, 2012
Falling away from the Truth is something that the Bible warns everyone who has received it. Temptation is a major cause of that potential event. By turning our attention to the value of living a life driven by the Holy Spirit of God and coming out of the world, we can guard ourselves from this very grave danger.
