“Do You Keep Satan’s Feast of Halloween?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

Do you know that Halloween is evil and demonic to the core, and a most important day for Devil worshippers and Satanists? If you participate in it in any way and induce others to do so, you stand condemned by God who is not mocked. The biblical warning is clear and unambiguous.

“The Plausibility of the Impossible,” the sermonette presented last Sabbath by Robb Harris, is now posted. Here is a summary:

On his own, man seeks to answer basic questions of life through the foundation of science. The observable universe is a standard by which all carnal theories base themselves. We know the vanity of these pursuits and that truly important answers are found only with God.

“Unity—but How,” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Dave Harris, is now posted. Here is a summary:

Maintaining a harmonious relationship with God and among brethren is absolutely necessary, but this seems to be the area in which so many fail. However, the Bible does show us how to find and keep unity—will we agree?

“The Only Thing to Fear,” the sermonette present last Sabbath by Frank Bruno, is now posted. Here is a summary:

Obviously the world has become a much more dangerous place in recent years, and the blessings that we’ve enjoyed from God here in the United States and elsewhere will not endure in the face of outright disobedience of God’s Commands. As we move forward we are admonished to be watchful of the signs, and be spiritually prepared for the return of our savior, Jesus Christ. We are also told clearly not to fear as prophecy unfolds, but to focus on our relationship with God for clarity and comfort. In this Sermonette we will cover some of the scriptural foundation of this guidance so as to have a deeper understanding and appreciation for God’s plan.

“Sustaining our Light in Darkness,” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Robb Harris, is now posted. Here is a summary:

Christianity, as Jesus exemplified, is a path full of adversity.  A world of hatred surrounds and tries to suffocate any light of God’s Truth.  We must be resolute in our onward march in becoming perfect, especially when Satanic deceit is so encompassing in all aspects of life.  In that light, it is critical that we look to God’s Sabbath and Holy Days for the rest and recharge we are afforded by them.

“The Warning of the Watchmen,” the sermon presented during Afternoon Services on the Feast of Trumpets by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

The Feast of Trumpets reminds us of the Second Coming of Christ at the sound of the last trumpet and our resurrection, change and gathering with Him. But we also think of the terrible events which will occur prior to Christ’s Return. These events are announced symbolically many times in the Bible through the blowing of trumpets.

It is the responsibility of the Church of God to proclaim the coming Kingdom of God and God’s rule over the Earth. This includes warning mankind of imminent trouble. The prophet Ezekiel received from God a warning message for the House of Israel, but it was not meant for the Ezekiel of old and the ancient House of Israel. Rather, it is a warning for the modern House of Israel and for all peoples, as well as for God’s Church, which must proclaim this message today.

“Impeaching Donald Trump? No Way—and here Is WHY!” is the title of a StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

During a phone conversation in July of 2019, President Donald Trump spoke with the new leader of Ukraine, Mr. Zelenskiy, about investigating the son of former Vice President Joe Biden. As a consequence, many congressional Democrats are determined to impeach President Trump, alleging a quid pro quo deal, as Trump had withheld money approved by Congress to be given to Ukraine. At the same time, others allege that a quit pro quo existed regarding the dealings between Biden and other Democratic senators and the Ukrainian government, allegedly threatening to withhold aid, unless Ukraine were to act in a particular way. This program discusses the underlying circumstances, as well as the released transcript of the phone conversation and the whistleblower complaint, and shows you why Trump will stay in office and be reelected in 2020.

“Our Scandalous Corrupt Abortion Industry,” is the title of a new StandingWatch  program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

This program will discuss an appalling and disturbing legal case in California, involving our corrupt abortion industry.

“Lack and Limitation,” the sermonette presented last Sabbath by Kalon Mitchell, is now posted. Here is a summary:

Often times throughout our Christian life we can run into situations which stop us from growing or moving forward. When we encounter these situations we need to understand that there is a way out and a way forward. When we are not growing we are limiting how God can work in our lives. We need to continually remember that it is through our own lack and limitations that God either works in and through us, or He can’t. The choice is entirely ours.

“Our Unrighteous School- and Education- Systems,” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

What is the origin of our modern education- and school- systems?  Do they help us to understand the Truth? What does the Bible tell us about human wisdom, ethics and philosophy? What are some of the many wrong concepts which our children are being taught in school? What can parents do to counteract the oftentimes devastating influence which our children experience in school?

“Suicide—Why… and How to Prevent  It?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

Suicide rates are on the rise; especially in rural counties of the USA. This week has been declared as the “National Suicide Prevention Week,” to bring awareness to the warning signs of suicide. But what are they? What drives a person to wanting to commit this final act? Discouragement and depression are leading causes of suicide, but why do people become depressed? Why is suicide so useless? Why is it never a solution? What can you do if you know of a person in danger… or if you yourself are that person?

The Second World War was supposed to end all wars. It did not. We have heard that it started when Germany invaded Poland. But this is by no means the entire story. Pertinent facts are being conveniently overlooked. This program reveals what really happened, and warns about the prophesied truth as to what we can expect to occur in the near future.

“Italy in Prophecy” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

Italy is in turmoil–again. Its 65th government after World War II has collapsed, and two parties with completely divergent viewpoints have formed the 66th government in an attempt to prevent far-right populist Matteo Salvini to stay in power.  But this new government might not last long, and Salvini, whom many have compared with Benito Mussolini, should not be counted out. What DOES the Bible say about Italy’s future? The answer might surprise you.

We also produced a German AufPostenStehen program, covering the same topic. It is titled, “Italien in der Prophezeiung.”

We are given many examples in the Bible of men and women who faced consequences for their actions before God. These examples must become part of our consideration and the basis for our own daily actions. The path each of us takes is our choice to make. The rewards are there before us—will we follow God’s lead?

Many have different opinions about President Trump, but what does God say? This program discusses Trump’s controversial immigration policy, his bad approval ratings, his attack on Fox News and American Jews; his changing positions on background checks and the recession; his cancellation of his trip to Denmark; and troublesome descriptions about his person which he applied to or embraced of himself. We also discuss the prospects of his reelection in 2020 from God’s point of view, and we answer the question in the title of this program, while also referring to a recent sermon with much biblical proof, titled, “When It Rains, It Pours.”

Are you confronted with distress, calamity and adversity in your life? Could God have anything to do with it? Is it possible to have unshakable confidence in times of affliction, misery and trouble? How should one act and not act in the face of evil? Do great nations, such as the USA and the UK, experience today catastrophe and disaster, or will they encounter them soon? Could they avoid their impending adversity and imminent destruction? Will calamity and disaster ever end?

“America’s Fragile Economy–the Calm before the Storm!” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

We hear that America’s economy is booming. But how good is it really… or how fragile? This program discusses the real winners and losers in the US-China trade war as well as the US government’s astronomical debt and its budget deficit due to reckless spending, which bad example is followed by many American citizens.

“Mass Shooting, Satanism and the Third Temple (Comments on News and Prophecy August 10, 2019),” presented by Norbert Link last Sabbath, is now posted. Here is a summary:

It is obvious that the Dayton Ohio murderer who killed nine innocent victims was acting because of his fascination with Satanism, while being demonically influenced or possessed. Satan’s activities are becoming more and more blatant.

You might be surprised to learn about most recent developments in this regard.
