“The Sabbath and God’s Commanded Holy Days,” is a new trailer presented by Michael Link which features our booklets: “How to Keep the Sabbath” and “God’s Commanded Holy Days.”

“Are You Keeping God’s Commandments?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

Most Christians would answer this question in the affirmative, but would they be correct? What about the weekly Sabbath? Has it been replaced by Sunday? If so, by what authority? What is the Roman Catholic’s position on that important question? What about God’s annual Holy Days? Can you keep the weekly Sabbath while neglecting God’s annual Sabbaths? At the end of this program, we show you an important video, addressing these questions even further and offering you absolutely free literature. The program incorporates at the end the new trailer by Michael Link, as announced above.

“Conviction!” the sermonette presented last Sabbath by Michael Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

How convicted are we in what we believe, to the Truth, and are we committed to it for life?

“When, How and What Should We Hate?” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

Is there something like righteous and godly hatred? For a Christian, it may be difficult to see how “hate” could be a part of God’s character, because many feel erroneously that a Christian must never hate. However, David gives us several examples in the book of Psalms which show us what and how we should and must hate. This includes the command to stay away from people who want to tempt us and others to sin.

Our newest booklet, “How to Keep the Sabbath,” has been mailed to our subscribers. Please contact us with your request if you would like a free copy.

The 2019 Church Conference will be conducted in Escondido, California. Arrival will be Wednesday, April 3, 2019, and departure is scheduled for Tuesday, April 9, 2019.

“Why the Rise of Anti-Semitism?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

“Anti-Semitism is back,” especially in Europe. “Centuries-old stereotypes have reappeared” and Jews are blamed for issues and problems which have nothing to do with them. “The disease of anti-Semitism is being weaponized by nationalist governments and parties on both sides of the political spectrum.” This program mentions the UK and Hungary in particular and brings you appalling examples from Belgium and the Netherlands. It offers you three free booklets on the fate and future of the Jewish people and on the true Jesus Christ of your Bible, the founder of Christianity, who was a Jew.

“Widespread Sexual Abuse Within Catholic Church… Could It Ever Be Stopped?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

Many priests, bishops and cardinals within the Vatican seem to be collaborating with Italian politicians, the judiciary and the mass media in their attempt to ignore and cover up the terrible sexual abuse of children. Pope Francis has vowed to put an end to this, calling those predators “tools of Satan” who are to face the “wrath of God,” but even if he was serious, could he succeed against the powerful resistance of “those with most to lose”? The record of mounting despicable sexual abuse and destruction of documents by high-ranking Catholic priests all over the world suggests otherwise.

“Wann, wie und worüber sollten wir zornig sein?” is the title of this Sabbath’s new German sermon, presented by Norbert Link.  Title in English: “When, How and About What Should We be Angry?”

A new StandingWatch Talking Points, presented by Pastor Rene Messier, reviews our booklet, “Sickness and Health, What the Bible Tells Us.”

“What Kind of Accent Do We Have?” the sermonette presented last Sabbath by Robb Harris, is now posted.

“Is It Worth It?” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Eric Rank, is now posted. Here is a summary:

Christianity takes work and personal sacrifice. The question of whether the work and sacrifice is worth the effort is a question most often presented to those who are beginning the Christian journey. However, it is also important to reaffirm our commitment at every point along the way, long after we begin.

“How to Keep the Sabbath,” is our newest booklet. Written by Evangelist Norbert Link, this booklet is now posted and, following printing, will be available upon request.

“Why are US-European Relationships at their Worst?” is the title of the latest new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

Most Americans do not comprehend HOW DEEP the trans-Atlantic rift is. They live in willful ignorance, and the mass media is largely responsible.  The lack of coverage of the extremely important events during the Munich Security Conference 2019 is a prime example. The contract between the attendees’ reception of Angela Merkel and the rejection of Mike Pence could not have been greater. Some claim that it will get better after the Trump era. They are deeply mistaken.

“Trump’s National Emergency… Will It Work?” is the title of a recent StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

After grudgingly signing the bi-partisan congressional “deal,” which gave him only a fraction of the desired funds for building a wall or barrier along the U.S.-Mexico border, President Trump also declared a national emergency with the intent to reallocate funds to finance the building of the wall. While legal scholars and politicians question the constitutionally of such a move, others point at the laws, arguably allowing him to relocate funds in certain respects. On February 15, President Trump explained in detail his rationale for his national emergency declaration and the reallocation of funds. What will happen next?

“Warum die total schlechte Beziehung zwischen Amerika und Europa?” is also a new AufPostenStehen program which covers the same topic as described above—presented by Norbert Link.

“Himmlische Freude,” the sermonette presented last Sabbath in Germany by Robert Kintzi, is now posted. Title in English: “Heavenly Joy.”

“Do You Have the Time—for God?” the sermonette presented last Sabbath by Frank Bruno, is now posted. Here is a summary:

Effectively managing and valuing our time each day is a great challenge. Few recognize that the concept of time—either in the moment, or as we think of the future— is actually well beyond our comprehension and control. The acceptance of God’s absolute authority in this regard can help us in understanding His plan for the present and a future. Opening our eyes and ears to God and His words is the best time-management strategy we can have.

“The Power of Family,” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Dave Harris, is now posted. Here is a summary:

Family is central to the message of the Bible, and the ultimate destiny of mankind involves birth into the Family of God. Do you understand what God requires from each of us to be counted worthy of this astonishing future?

“Anger’s Grip,” the sermonette presented last Sabbath by Eric Rank, is now posted. Here is a summary:

One of the most antagonizing emotions of mankind is anger. What can a Christian do to release anger and become immune to its influence?

“Fair-minded in an Age of Contempt,” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Robb Harris, is now posted. Here is a summary:

We have been called out of darkness into light.  As lights, we must shine with glory, illuminating those that are in darkness.  But darkness is never satiated, it constantly spreads into all aspects of human character.  The world has chosen this state of being and is comfortable in—an attitude we must constantly be on guard against.

“Persecutions of Homosexuals and Conversion Therapies,” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

US Ambassador to Germany, Richard Grenell, wrote a condemnatory article in the mass publication, “Bild,” on Iran’s practices of persecuting homosexuals; and “Handelsblatt” attacked countries which still allow “gay cures” and “conversion therapies.” What is behind this reignited discussion, and what does God have to say about it? At the end of this program, we offer a free booklet about God’s teachings on sexual relationships.

“The Christian Way,” the sermonette presented last Sabbath by Christoph Sperzel, is now posted. Here is a summary:

Man has to choose to obey God and follow the way that leads to unimaginable blessings. Or, he may decide to turn to the way that appears right to him, but in the end just leads to a curse.

“Adultery–a Trivial Offense?” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

God prohibits adultery. Even though it may be normal in the eyes of many to break the marriage, God pronounces the most severe penalty for the adulterer and the adulteress. Adultery is not a trivial or minor offense, but a terrible sin against God, and He will judge those involved.

“Is the Prophesied Big Earthquake in Israel Going to Hit?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

Scientists predict that a huge earthquake is about to hit Israel. They estimate that in the case of a 7.5 magnitude earthquake, an estimated 7,000 people will be killed. The Bible tells us that such an earthquake will occur when Jesus Christ returns to set up the government of God on this earth. This is no coincidence. God is letting us know the signs of these end times.

“Ehebruch–ein Kavaliersdelikt?”  is the title of this Sabbath’s new German sermon, presented by Norbert Link. Title in English: “Adultery–a Trivial Offense?”

“Shutdown Ends Temporarily…What’s Next?—Comments on News and Prophecy (January 26, 2019),” presented by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

Will there be a second shutdown? Will there be a declaration of national emergency? Why was there a shutdown in the first place? Why did it end? Why was there such a hostile reaction by some hard-core right-wing pundits to President Trump’s ending of the shutdown? Did the shutdown accomplish anything? Why are politicians so dishonest?

“The Way to Peace,” the sermonette presented last Sabbath by Christoph Sperzel (Germany), is now posted.

“Hate! But Do Not Hate!” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Michael Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

What does the Bible say about hate? There are in fact many things that God hates but He is also the God of love. How and in what way is it acceptable to “hate” and how is it not?

“The End of the British Empire… Time to Let Britain Go!” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

Recent events have thrown Britain into “the deepest political crisis in half a century.” Europeans are now convinced that the inevitable Brexit will prove to be the “greatest disaster” for the UK, and they have concluded that it is time for the EU to let Britain go, as the “proud United Kingdom” has reached its end. At the same time, Europe is engaged in building a powerful army. Why are these events connected and of critical importance in the light of biblical prophecy?

“Die Bibel beschreibt die Person des falschen Propheten!” is the title of this Sabbath’s new German sermon, presented by Norbert Link. Title in English: “The Bible Describes the Person of the False Prophet.”

“Allgemeine Missverständnisse—der Sabbat” is the title of this Sabbath’s new German sermonette, presented by Michael Link. Title in English: “Common Misunderstandings—the Sabbath.”

“Death Is Not to be Feared,” the sermonette presented last Sabbath by Frank Bruno, is now posted. Here is a summary:

The world we live in encourages fear and a degree of hysteria with respect to human death. Movies create imagery around the ideas of both horrible evil capable of causing suffering and death, and the celebration of eternal existence, again demonically inspired. Believers in the true living God, the Creator indeed understand that everlasting life is possible through Jesus Christ. If we die prior to the return of Jesus Christ we are asleep in Christ much as Lazarus was prior to Jesus raising him up. We have this same opportunity if we believe and follow the commands of God the Father and His Son.

“Two Sons of Joseph,” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Dave Harris, is now posted. Here is a summary:

Ephraim and Manasseh, the two sons of Joseph, have become great nations in today’s world! These nations are about to be severely punished by God for their rebellion against Him! Yet, almost no one knows or understands what the Bible so clearly reveals!

A new Member Letter (January 2019) has been written and mailed to our subscribers. In this letter, Elder Eric Rank points to our need to rely on God in order to face the prophesied events which are coming before Christ’s return.

We are saddened to report that Andrew Burns, a long-time member of the Church of God in the UK, suddenly and unexpectedly died of a heart attack. Andrew had been regularly attending with us at the Feast of Tabernacles in Derbyshire, Wales and in Germany.

“Governmental Attacks on Jews and Christians in Europe,” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

Anti-Semitism is increasing in Europe, and with it governmental attacks on Jews and minority Christians, including in countries where you might or might not expect it, such as Belgium, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Austria and Germany. This program gives you examples of blatant discrimination and persecution which will only get worse in the future.

“Die Bibel beschreibt die Person des Tieres!” is the title of this Sabbath’s German sermon, presented by Norbert Link. Title in English: “The Bible Describes the Person of the Beast.”

“Europe’s Army — Comments on News and Prophecy (January 12, 2019),” the message presented last Sabbath by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

In the past, much was SAID about a European army. NOW, it is being DONE and taking shape. We are presenting little-known developments. But we must be careful that we don’t have the attitude that Christ is delaying His coming.

“Naked or Clothed,” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Kalon Mitchell, is now posted. Here is a summary:

We are warned not to be spiritually naked. We are told to be clothed with righteousness. What happens when we aren’t? What happens when we find ourselves spiritually naked? The warnings to be clothed are powerful and should inspire each Christian to make the changes necessary to remain clothed and ready for the soon return of Jesus Christ.

“How America Is Destroying Itself… Terrible Consequences of the Shutdown,” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

Was Abraham Lincoln right when he prophesied that America would destroy itself? Sadly, the crazy government shutdown gives us a foretaste of what is going to happen. Millions upon millions of people are already affected, and it will get much worse, as this program shows. The Bible condemns very strongly what is happening, but most people are sound asleep.

“Wie man Depressionen überwinden kann,” is the title of this Sabbath’s new German sermon, presented by Norbert Link. Title in English: “How to Overcome Depression.” “Die Macht der Emotionen,”  the German sermonette presented last Sabbath by Mario Danisch, is now posted. Title in English: “The Power of Emotions.”

“The Ongoing Shutdown– Comments on News and Prophecy (January 5, 2019),” the presentation last Sabbath by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

The partial government shutdown is continuing, with no end in sight. President Trump claimed it may last months, if not years. Food, tax, transport, trash collection and much more are being threatened. Most Americans are opposed to the shutdown, but what would be a swift solution to end this and future shutdowns caused by bickering politicians, once and for all?

“Don’t Delay,” the sermonette presented last Sabbath by Michael Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

What is it that we should be focusing on and preparing for so we are not caught off guard in the soon coming end times, while the rest of the world, especially the English speaking nations, are sound asleep? How can this be and what does the Bible say about this very fact? What is prophesied for 2019, especially what’s happening in Europe which can cause things to develop very quickly?

“Saul’s Demon,” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

With whom did King Saul and the witch of Endor communicate? Was it indeed the dead prophet Samuel, as some commentaries claim, who told Saul about the future, even though God had refused to talk to him through prophets? Or are other commentaries correct, which state that it was a demon who pretended to be Samuel? Could Saul’s prior experiences with a demon be significant? What does God tell us about demons and those who want to consult the dead?
