Why Different Groups? given St Louis USA 23 Dec 2006 |
We find ourselves on the eve of the greatest trial to befall mankind, yet the Church of God is fragmented. Can God's Spirit be fragmented? We can't all be right - but we can all be wrong. This sermon examines: Two prophesied extremes; How members mirror the group; How God is testing; The anointed leadership; How offenses come; How God tells us to decide. (14.0 Mb) | ||

Thankfulness given Peterborough Canada 16 Dec 2006 |
Thankfulness is a quality we all need to develop - including our children. So often in the world today this is missing. But when we truly begin to understand what God has done for us - and what He plans for us in the future - it becomes much easier to be truly thankful, as we should. (2.0 Mb) | ||

Preaching the Gospel given Peterborough Canada 16 Dec 2006 |
When Mr Armstrong was alive, we did not talk of "the Church", but "The Work". This was because the focus we had was to take the gospel of the kingdom to the world as a witness. But what about today? Has it been done? Or are we expected to continue doing the same thing? This sermon examines the following: What is the Gospel? Preaching the Gospel as a witness; Preaching the Gospel to those God is calling; Preaching the Gospel to the Church; Preaching the Gospel to the world. (13.0 Mb) | ||

Endure To The End given Bristol UK 9 Dec 2006 |

Living Letters given Bristol UK 9 Dec 2006 |
We so often can read the epistles of Paul, gaining teaching and instruction from them ourselves, but forget that these were originally written to real people, with real lives and real problems and a hope identical to ours. This sermon goes through each epistle in the order in which they were written, and tries to give a brief picture what was going on behind the scenes at the time. (13.0 Mb) | ||

"Did you know that what has been recognized as the greatest sermon ever preached was actually not a sermon at all, but merely a matter of Jesus Christ talking to His disciples?

The Sacred Family Unit given Oswestry UK 2 Dec 2006 |
Mr Armstrong made the statement: Nothing in this material world is as important as a happy home life with father, mother and well-taught happy children - a close-knit FAMILY.

Our Continuing Education given Peterborough Canada 25 Nov 2006 |
There are many lessons to learn - both in and out of a Feast environment. But at this point in the year - some time after the Feast, yet well before the spring Holy Days - it is particularly important that we recognise how God continually uses the experiences in life to further our higher education.

50th Anniversary of the Eugene Church given USA FOT 24 Sept 1983 played Wales UK 18 Nov 2006 |
This sermon was given on the Sabbath during the Feast of Tabernacles in 1983 - at the Eugene Church in Oregon which was celebrating its 50th anniversary. Several former teens were there, then well into their 60s. In addition to talking about those early years, Mr Armstrong talks extensively on Why the Church of God exists, and how the Truth of God was revealed. This is an exceedingly long message with much useful information, but unfortunately the very end of the sermon is missing, and the recording ends abruptly after just under 2 hours. (18.0 Mb) | ||

Agape Love (Part 2) - The Glue of the Church given Bristol UK 11 Nov 2006 |
This is the second sermon of a two part series. Col 3:14 talks of Agape Love as the "bond" - or glue - of perfection. This "glue" is therefore also what holds God's True Church together, as it is God's very character. We can also check the areas in which it needs to be increased by going to the scripture which explains the various qualities of this Agape Love - 1Cor 13. (8.0 Mb) | ||

End Time Islam given Bristol UK 11 Nov 2006 |
Something that is constantly in the news these days, is the rise of Islam. And yet, what does scripture indicate about this power? It shows clearly that there exists a king - to the south of Jerusalem at the end time - who causes the king of the north to invade the Holy Land. The Mahdi, for whom so many within these lands are currently waiting, seems to fit what the Bible prophecies predict. (6.0 Mb) | ||
