Sermon
by Jon Bowles
Dealing With Each Other for Unity At The Feast
given Owerri Nigeria 20 Aug 2005
This Sermon was given in Nigeria where the brethren will keep the Feast without a minister present. Mr Armstrong found that when a Church found itself in similar circumstances, there were often problems - but this was before the Internet, cassette tapes, mobile phones etc. Today, God expects us to grow in grace and knowledge on an individual basis - and there are specific steps we can take to ensure that Godly unity can be maintained. (11.1 Mb)

Trumpets 85 - HWAs Final Sermon
given 16 Sept 1985 - played Wales UK 13 Aug 2005
This sermon was the last message preached by Mr Armstrong before his death a few months later. Although given on the Day of Trumpets, the subject matter is timeless - and places our existence into the framework of God's overall Plan and the soon coming return of Jesus Christ to this earth. As always, the importance of correctly understanding the two trees figures just as strongly as ever within it. View transcript (10.8 Mb)

News Analysis
by Jon Bowles

given Wales UK 30 July 2005
This news analysis deals with the recent terror attacks in London, and some of the more disturbing comments that have been made as a result - comments that may eventually even have an impact on God's Church. Legislation is being passed that has to be seen to be "even handed", so the measures proposed are not just designed against Islamic organizations, but other religious organizations as well. However, a key ingredient that separates us from such groups in the eyes of the world is given - that we are pre-millenialist, and therefore only believe in the forcible replacement of civilization after the return of Jesus Christ. (1.5 Mb)

Hungering for God's Righteousness
given 11 June 1983 - played Wales UK 30 July 2005
This sermon was given when the Church was being put back on Track - and deals extensively with the makeup issue and how some would only agree to change if they were backed into a corner by scripture. Mr. Armstrong points out that sin involves much more than breaking the letter of the law. It involves an attitude that flows contrary to God's Life Style. We must instead hunger and thirst for that Life Style - That Way - the very righteousness of God. (10.2 Mb)

Will Satan be Destroyed?
given Bristol UK 9 July 2005
Some churches believe that as God is all powerful, Satan is destined to be utterly destroyed. They often base their teaching on Ezek 28:16. However, there is a vital reason why Satan will not be destroyed - though he is going to be banished and rendered utterly ineffective. This sermonette explains this, and gives the true meaning of the verse found in Ezek 28. (1.3 Mb)

The News Behind The News
given Bristol UK 9 July 2005
This sermon shows how the news being presented to us in the media, does not concentrate on the important items that allow us to see prophecy unfold, but rather on items that will give those providing it the greatest profit possible. For this reason, we have to dig deeper ourselves - in such areas as: Wars; Famines; Natural disasters; the Israelitish nations; Europe; The Middle East; The Far East; and Religion.

Bricket Wood Message 74
given May 1974 in Bricket Wood - played Wales UK 2 July 2005
This Sermon was given shortly after some senior ministers left the Church in 1974 in England. Mr Armstrong deals with the vital role of God's Government and how a major part of our job today is to be sure we remain firmly beneath it.

Armstrong Worship?
Given Ohio USA 25 June 2005
"Armstrong worship" is a term often used against those attempting to return to The Way we were once taught. If it is indeed "worship" - then such people have real problems! The sermon shows how trying to return to The Way we were taught - far from "looking to a man" should actually be the exact opposite: It should be correctly recognising the True Source of The Word that has been revealed to God's people. (11.0 Mb)

News Analysis
by Jon Bowles

Given Peterborough Canada 18 June 2005
This news analysis examines the continuing disagreement over the British rebate in Europe - and how Britain will not be part of Europe at the time the final European power rises. It also examines how possible plans for construction of a temple in Jerusalem are being drawn up - using modern prefabrication techniques. Though it is unlikely that a physical temple will be completed, the direction it is moving certainly does fit with the fact that evening and morning sacrifices are going to start in that area. (2.6 Mb)

And They Voted No
given in Wales UK 4 June 2005
This sermonette comments on the recent vote against the EU constitution in France and Holland. It quotes from some notes Mr Armstrong wrote in 1944 that explains how the current EU direction could well have come originally from German plans on losing World War II. But the system destined to arise within Europe has its roots much further back - back to the Holy Roman Empire. Could this current "no" vote be the critical issue to drive Europe toward this prophesied fulfillment? (2.8 Mb)

Modern Idolatry
given in Wales UK 4 June 2005.

The sermon also covers: Our current attitude to idols; Food offered to idols in the New Testament; Idolatrous "containers"; Covetousness - which is idolatry; The idol of "self"; How the Sabbath points us Back on Track in this area. (9.5 Mb)
 
“Just what is an APOSTLE?”
Just what is an Apostle?

Today we find the Church of God in a “wilderness of religious confusion!”

The confusion is not merely around the Church – within the religions of the world outside – but WITHIN the very heart of The True Church itself!
