given Wales UK 24 March 2007 |
This week, a new UK budget was presented to Parliament - labeled by many as being nothing more than smoke and mirrors. In addition there has been the commemoration of the original act to end slavery, and also the anniversary of the signing of the document that brought the current EU into existence. What they all seem to have in common however - is that what is so often presented as fact is not actually the truth! (3.0 Mb) | ||

Spiritual Health Checkup given April 1983 - played Wales 24 March 2007 |
Begins: "Last night in the bible-study I was reading to you from 1Cor 11:22. I would like to read it again. Or verse 28 I should say - verse 28, and this is just before the Passover - 'but let a man examine himself and so let him eat of that bread and drink of that cup'..." Mr Armstrong then shows how this examination is based on repentance and involves the very purpose of man - to turn from Satan's world and be ready to become part of the coming New World - an entirely New Age - the Kingdom of God.

Satan and the Armour of God given Peterborough Canada 3 March 2007 |
As we approach the Passover, each of us needs to appreciate more fully how we are at war with an exceedingly cunning enemy.

Words Fitly Spoken given Peterborough Canada 24 Feb 2007 |
Words have been used to move armies, to give whole nations courage, and to provoke people to both great good and also great evil. But what each of us must always remember, is how God is going to bring even each idle word we may use into judgement (Matt 12:36-37). (11.0 Mb) | ||

Robes of Righteousness given Bristol UK 17 Feb 2007 |
Clothing is used within scriptural analogies to picture the righteousness - or otherwise - of individuals. As we approach the Passover, we need to begin to examine ourselves - and specifically our repentance. This means to look again at the direction our life is heading: Is it towards robes of righteousness? Or is it merely towards filthy rags? (13.0 Mb) | ||

"You have heard, my friends, that Jesus Christ came to do away with His Father's commandments.

Freedom given Wales UK 10 Feb 2007 |
Towards the end of his life, Mr Herbert Armstrong wrote a booklet called: “A World Held Captive” in which he laid out the background that lies behind our tragic society. Yet today, there are even more ominous signs that the world is moving further and further away from true freedom into even greater degenerate captivity. This sermon therefore: Places the subject into perspective; Asks what makes us free; Examines financial freedom; Sexual freedom; Freedom from stress; and freedom from oppression. (12.0 Mb) | ||

The Plan Of God given USA FOT 25 Sept 1980 - played Wales 3 Feb 2007 |
This sermon was the first transmission to link multiple Feast sites in the USA, Canada and UK. When you consider how today we do something similar with nothing more than a telephone line and a laptop via the internet, it indicates how much some things in the world have changed. However, the basic message - why we are here on this earth, and the very purpose of human life - remains just as relevant today as it has ever been. (14.0 Mb) | ||

given Wales UK 3 Feb 2007 |
Being able to analyse the news from a prophetic standpoint, requires asking certain questions when we read the scriptures. What we are specifically looking for are trends that would need to be in place prior to the prophecies being fulfilled. This News Analysis briefly tries to illustrate this using the passage found in Rev 11:1-10, that describes the actions of the two witnesses. Three trends are highlighted: Gentile rulership; a Catholic controlled Europe; and photo voyeurism. (2.0 Mb) | ||

Who Is the Beast ... Who Or What is the Prophetic Beast... The Mark of the Beast (Transcript) ...are all part of the legacy Mr Armstrong left on the subject of the prophesied Mark of the Beast.

The Unwavering Christian given Peterborough Canada 20 Jan 2007 |
A particular theme that continually comes through the book of Daniel is an unwavering trust in God. Although he and his companions were effectively subject to brainwashing by their captors as young men, they remained utterly committed to be obedient to God - whatever the consequences. The account of such an unwavering attitude is obviously something God wanted preserved - so that we also may develop the same today. (11.3 Mb) | ||

The Pride Before the Fall given Wales UK 6 Jan 2007 |
