“The Afghanistan Catastrophe,” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary: 

The deadly suicide attacks near the Kabul airport only emphasize how chaotic and catastrophic the situation is in Afghanistan, with tens of thousands of stranded Americans and others being left behind and forsaken by incompetent governments. Especially the UK and Germany are blaming the Biden Administration for Europe’s embarrassing retreat, and voices are being heard for a reevaluation of Europe’s relationship with the USA. The Bible tells us much about what is going on right now, and how it will end.

“Making America Great Again?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

The debacle in Afghanistan and the shameful incompetence of the Biden Administration have totally destroyed America’s image in the world and as a reliable great superpower. In addition, Europe and especially the German government under Angela Merkel are not escaping strong criticism either. But why? Does Bible prophecy tell us something about the reasons?

Immutability describes a state of being that does not change. Things that are immutable remain in the same condition from their beginning to their end. While few things in life are truly immutable, the promise of God is different. What is the immutable promise of God that we can rely on, unconditionally?

“What Does A Christian Do?”, the sermon presented last Sabbath by Dave Harris, is now posted. Here is a summary:

Early Christians were admonished to “contend earnestly for the faith” because true Christianity was under assault. That warning rings just as true today! Are you among those who are striving to keep the faith—just as the Bible reveals?

“Killing Sunday-Keeping Aliens?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

In our last StandingWatch program, titled, “Killing Sabbath-Keeping Aliens,” we spoke about the science fiction movie, The Tomorrow War, pointing out that these hostile aliens were keeping and resting on the seventh day—the Sabbath—and had to be destroyed. The question arose whether the reference to the seventh day—the Sabbath—was not actually a reference to Sunday. Is Sunday the biblical Sabbath? What is the Truth?

Due to Iran’s and Hezbollah’s attack on Israel and the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, the situation in these areas is getting more and more precarious and devastating. The USA is largely blamed for the developments. We also observe fear-mongering in many countries regarding Covid-19, including in the USA, with medical recommendations and governmental measures and mandates continuously changing. Opposition, demonstrations and resistance in the USA and Western nations are growing. How will governments in those countries respond?

“Birds of the Bible,” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Michael Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

There are many different birds mentioned in the Bible, and certain birds are particularly referred to for specific and symbolic purposes. What can we learn from their significance in the way the Bible uses them?

“Killing Sabbath-Keeping Aliens,” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

A new science-fiction movie, titled “The Tomorrow War,” describes the “need” to destroy hostile Sabbath-keeping aliens, called “White Spikes” who have been on this planet for a long time without having been noticed. What is of concern is an old demonic prophecy which contains astonishing and frightening parallels.

“Don’t Harden Your Heart,” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

The most-known example of a man who hardened his heart and thereby refused to submit to the Will of God was probably the Pharaoh at the time of the Exodus. But the Bible contains many more examples of people who hardened their heart, and even Christ’s own disciples were not immune. What are the inevitable consequences of a proud, hardened, bitter, rebellious and unrepentant heart?

“Israel at the Brink of a Catastrophe?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

Israel is being ruled by an unruly government … a coalition of totally divided parties which only became united to get rid of Netanyahu. This coalition has no chance of success or survival, and the first hick-ups have already been noticed. But the disunity and ultimate anticipated failure of Israel’s government could have wide-ranging consequences.

Speaking assignments have been made which will cover upcoming Sabbaths and Holy Days for both the United States and Germany. These will soon be posted on our respective websites.

God works in our lives in mysterious ways and brings about events which we would not have believed to be possible. We find a very vivid and compelling example in the life of Joseph, one of the sons of Jacob or Israel.

Our annual Church Conference was conducted via SKYPE on July 18-19, 2021. All our ministers participated along with several of our deacons and deaconesses.  Several important topics were discussed which focused on more successfully conducting the Work of the Church.

“Why the Devastating Floods in Europe?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

CBS wrote on July 16 that “the scale of the disaster is unlike anything the area has seen in living memory—the worst deluge recorded in the region in more than 200 years…” Newsmax added on July 21 that thousands are still missing who are most likely dead. But why do disasters like these happen? Is it because of man-made global warming, or is the real cause overlooked? And once the cause is identified, do people respond and react in the right way? 

“Hat Noah den Kanaan für Hams Sünde verflucht?” is the title of this Sabbath’s new German sermon, presented by Norbert Link. Title in English: “Did Noah Curse Canaan for Ham’s Sin?”

“Wahrer Reichtum,” is the title of a split sermon presented last Sabbath in Germany by Thilo Hanstein. Title in English: “Real Wealth.”

“Selbstgerecht,” is the title of a split sermon presented last Sabbath in Germany by Christoph Sperzel. Title in English: “Self Righteous.”

“A Two Front War,” is the title of a split sermon presented last Sabbath by Frank Bruno. Here is a summary:

Increasingly, each day we are barraged directly by Satan’s temptations and challenged by carnal nature which leaves us more susceptible to sin. We also face the work of men and women who confront us with issues and choices which require our discernment and reliance on God for guidance. This can be overwhelming. In this message, we will explore Scriptures that can help us to understand what we are facing, and act as God wants us to.

“Why Watch?” is the title of a split sermon presented last Sabbath by Eric Rank. Here is a summary:

The Bible contains numerous admonitions to watch and pay attention to the world we live in. What are we to watch for, and why is it important to heed these instructions?

“President Biden Faces Many Problems,” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

This program explores the almost countless problems President Biden is facing on many different levels. From international problems regarding Haiti, Cuba, Afghanistan, Mexico, Iran, Russia and Germany; to national problems regarding vaccination issues; and to several personal problems, it seems that there is no end in sight, and that matters will only get worse.

“Wie zerstritten ist die EU—der Osten gegen den Westen?” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link. Title in English:“How Divided is the EU—the East Against the West?”

A new Member Letter (July 2021) has been posted and mailed to our subscribers. Pastor Rene Messier writes about our need to focus on God’s calling, especially in the midst of so many distractions and problems which confront us in society.

“What’s Your Reason Why?” the sermonette presented last Sabbath by Eric Rank, is now posted. Here is a summary:

It is vital that we have a reason to continue living a Christian life. If we do not have a source of motivation in life that honors God’s purpose for us, it will inevitably lead us away from God. But if we love the Way of life He has designed for us, it will provide us with the encouragement we need to overcome whatever life hits us with, resulting in a glorious outcome.

“Why Prophecy?” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Dave Harris, is now posted. Here is a summary:

For what cause, reason or purpose does God declare His divine Will and purpose before the time of fulfillment? Those whom God is calling can understand prophecy—are you among those few who do?

“The Divided EU—East vs. West?” is the title of our newest StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link.  Here is a summary:

How divided is the EU? Why are especially Western European nations concerned about a fundamental “East-West divide”? Could the developments pertaining to Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovenia and other Eastern European nations have anything to do with biblical end-time prophecies in the Book of Daniel and the Book of Revelation?

“What’s behind the Indictment against the Trump Organization and its CFO?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

When reading reports from the left-liberal and the conservative press, you are getting quite a different perspective as to what is happening regarding the indictment of the Trump Organization and its CFO, Allen Weisselberg. This is also true for the alleged motives of the prosecution and the nature of the charges. Some say that “any political motivation in getting to former President Donald Trump might backfire and have the opposite result.”

“Verhärte Dein Herz nicht,” is the title of this Sabbath’s new German sermon, presented by Norbert Link. Title in English: “Don’t Harden Your Heart.”

“Der Weg eines Kriegers,” is the title of last Sabbath’s German sermonette, presented by Christian Mrosek. Title in English: “The Way of a Warrior.”

We point out the fight between many Western and Eastern European nations over “core values,” especially involving Germany, France, Hungary and Poland; the fact that the USA did not win a major war since World War II and won’t do so prior to Christ’s return; the Pope’s attack on “false preachers”; the indictment of the Trump organization and emails pertaining to Hunter Biden, directly contradicting President Biden; Hitler’s and Stalin’s atrocities and shared responsibilities for World War II; Angela Merkel’s last official visit to the UK; lockdowns in Australia; and Dr. Robert Malone’s and many other doctors’ concerns regarding coronavirus shots. We also speak on missed opportunities in our Christian lives and godly education in the World to Come.

“With Liberty and Justice For All,” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Kalon Mitchell, is now posted. Here is a summary:

The United States was founded on the idea that there would be liberty and justice for all.

As we near the time of Christ’s return, we find ourselves living in a world that is increasingly unfair and unjust. Will we ever live to see a time where there is true liberty and justice for everyone? Can it happen in this world?

It all becomes clear when we understand that it is Satan the Devil, the author of lies, who rules this earth.

“Will YOU Have Eternal Life in God’s Kingdom?” is the title of last Sabbath’s sermon, presented by Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

Do you share God’s confidence and conviction that you will become an immortal Spirit being in His Kingdom?  Or are you sometimes tempted to give up when you experience difficulties and trials which might appear to be too severe? Is your salvation a big question mark in your and God’s eyes?
