News Analysis
by Jon Bowles

given Wales UK 30 Sept 2006
A recent court case that has been in the tabloid press particularly, has involved the corrupt lifestyle of two judges and their cleaning lady who blackmailed them. The case shows many things: The changing ethnic mix of what was once Ephraim; The degeneration into an amoral (as opposed to immoral) society; And particularly, the removal of any genuine fear of God. (2.0 Mb)

Sermon
by Mr Armstrong
How Good And How Pleasant
given FOT 29 Sep 1985 played Wales UK 30 Sept 2006
This is one of the last messages Mr Armstrong gave. Recorded shortly before the Feast in 1985, he talks of how God opened his mind to the truth of the Holy Days, and their importance to us today - particularly Tabernacles. This is then followed by the opening message originally given in 1984, but also played in 1985 to give a full 1 1/2 hour opening night service. (13.0 Mb)

Women And The Offering
given Bristol UK Trump 23 Sept 2006
This sermonette looks at the vital role that women have played within the Church. Even though the men are specifically commanded to bring an offering during this season of the year, the role of women in providing for the needs of the Church has also been so very important throughout history. (1.0 Mb)

Sermon

A World At War!
given Bristol UK Trump 23 Sept 2006
Not only is the western world currently "at war" and does not seem to realise it - but this is also true for so many in the Church today as well. Liberalism - falsely so called - has sapped the attention of so many, both in the western world as well as in the Church today, that they no longer are aware of the current physical attacks on the West - nor the true devices of our real enemy - Satan the Devil. (12.0 Mb)

The Meaning of Trumpets
given Bristol UK Trump 23 Sept 2006
The Festival of Trumpets does indeed predict a time of war. But the opposing forces that will resist Christ in the future are also very much in evidence today - both within the world, and also within each of us unless we remain vigilant. It is important as part of our current training to both recognise such opposing ways from The Ways of God, and also to resist them. (13.0 Mb)

Sermon
by Jonathan Pippy
Are You Ready For Christ's Return?
given Peterborough Canada Trump 23 Sept 2006
When we consider what has been given to us within the Church, and really understand the true scope of what part we have within the very Plan of God, we can only be left aghast at the responsibility on our shoulders. But God is a faithful Creator - and through His power and strength, He individually prepares and works with those He has called and chosen (or selected) to be ready for Christ's return. But we also have our part to play in this process. (10.0 Mb)

News Analysis
by Jon Bowles

given Wales UK 16 Sept 2006
Today's confrontation between the Pope and the Muslim world has much more behind it than merely a few misplaced comments. When placed into the light of Bible Prophecy, the quotation made yesterday from the medieval emperor Manuel II Paleologus about Islam: "show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman" has profound significance. And at the same time, there is talk of "zones of influence" within the EU. The interesting point is, that on certain preliminary maps, there appear to be ten!

What Is a Christian?
given USA 27 Aug 1983 played Wales UK 16 Sept 2006
Although this tape is dated 27 Aug 85, this was not a Sabbath. So it is probably from 27 Aug 1983 which was. In it Mr Armstrong launches straight into the subject, and shows how a Christian is defined as someone who is led by the Spirit of God (Rom 8:14) - and all that that simple phrase really entails. (12.0 Mb)

"Why is it, my friends, that you have not heard the true gospel of Jesus Christ, but rather a message of men, a gospel of men, about His person, but not the message that Christ Himself brought and preached? Now do you know that that message was not the message of Christ either - so far as that was concerned - it was not Christ's message at all? Actually it was the message of God the Father..."  (3.0 Mb)

Sermon
by Jonathan Pippy
Living The BE Attitudes
given Peterborough Canada 2 Sept 2006
Carnal human beings either ignore God's Law - his Torah, or Way of Life - or attempt to keep it like a Pharisee. But Christ instructs that our righteousness must exceed that of a Pharisee (Matt 5:20). This is only possible when the administration we use is that of the spirit and not the letter (2Cor 3:6) - an approach Jesus Christ explains in the Beatitudes found in Matt 5 - vital attitudes that must BE in God's True Church today. (12.0 Mb)

Walking Before God
given Owerri Nigeria 26 August 2006
This sermon examines the command found within Matt 5 that we are to be perfect - as our Father in heaven is perfect - by showing the link between this passage and the command to Abraham - the father of the faithful. God commands Abraham in Gen 17:1 to "walk before Him" and be perfect. The sermon: looks at similar scriptures; shows how God is always with us; How God watches; and how God blesses. (12.0 Mb)

Restored Doctrine Deception
given Bristol UK 19 August 2006
The 18 truths - originally published in the Worldwide News after Mr Armstrong died - were assumed to be something that originally came from him. But certain aspects were missing: The Identity of Babylon and her daughters; That Satan is the guilty party; And that we are to remain separate from the world. This sermonette shows how even in 1986, the direction the Church was taking was clearly directed off track. (1.0 Mb)

Building The Temple
given Seattle USA 14 Feb 1981 played Wales UK 12 Aug 2006
This sermon does not just examine the fact that God is now building His Temple spiritually, prior to the return of Christ, but that Mr Armstrong personally was the one that God was (and is still today) using to do so. The sermon is particularly long (2h 15m). Although the audio quality is good throughout most of the file, our apologies for the fact that in two sections it is poor: the first 3 mins, and the last 20 mins. (21.0 Mb)

"Why is it - let me ask once again, my friends - that you have not heard the gospel of Jesus Christ, but rather a false gospel - a gospel that masquerades as the gospel of Jesus Christ, that which in fact is merely a gospel about His person and which represents Jesus Christ as a sort of smart-aleck young man who knew more than His Father and came to do away with His Father's law - to knock it in the head, and to institute a new and different kind of religion. Now Jesus did not introduce any new and different kind of religion whatsoever. He did come to bring a message that the world had not understood or known, although it had been declared - at least in its broad outline to the prophets of old..."  (3.0 Mb)

Catching The Vision
given Wales UK 29 July 2006
This sermon continues the aspects of "end time faith" examined last week, expanding on the specific fact that we need to view ourselves as strangers and pilgrims on the earth at present. It shows how a large part of doing this, involves "catching the vision" set before us by God. It examines: Faith and the vision; The vision found on the cogiw website; To plant the heavens; To lay the foundations of the earth; To say to Zion, "You are my people". (13.0 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!

Listen to Me, You who know righteousness, You people in whose heart is My Law: …I have put My words in your mouth, I have covered you with the shadow of My hand, That I may plant the heavens, Lay the foundations of the earth, and say to Zion, “you are My people” (Isaiah 51:7,16)
