“Above All Things,” the sermonette presented last Sabbath by Dave Harris, is now posted. Here is a summary:

In the Bible, the imaging of hot and cold is applied to love. The warning for Christians is to not let their love fail as evil grows ever more powerful.

“Balance through ‘The Way’ of Christ,” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Robb Harris, is now posted. Here is a summary:

The teachings of Christ, often referred to as “The Way”, offer mankind balance and a reward of eternal life. True balance does not equate to acceptance of worldly ideals. We must be careful to not fall into the trap of most professing Christians and allow Satanically inspired teachings to lead us away from the path Christ has clearly set before us.

“Does God Bless Our Christmas Celebrations?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

Ninety percent of Americans celebrate Christmas, but only a slight majority observe it as a religious holiday. Many who keep Christmas do not even believe in the virgin birth. In many countries, a demonic creature is celebrated around this time of year, which has become popular in the USA as well. Did you know that Christmas was not an official holiday in the USA until after the Civil War? Why is there so much anxiety, grief, depression, increase of heart attacks and alcoholism associated with Christmas? And why do we, as a Christian nation, willfully lie to our children about it and become upset with those who tell the Truth?

“Hidden Secrets of the Bible,” is the title of a new Global Trailer, presented by Pastor Brian Gale. You can also find his presentation at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALEv_G5fS0k.

Jesus spoke prophetically about the times of the Gentiles being fulfilled. Who are the Gentiles He is referring to, and what does the biblical designation of people in this way actually mean?

“USA and EU on Collision Course” is the title of the new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

Germany has a new leader for Angela Merkel’s party (the CDU).  Her course towards Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump will be tougher. She advocates helping Ukraine militarily against Russia, and she wants to reintroduce the draft in Germany. However, most Americans and Brits show a “worrying lack of knowledge or interest” in history and what is happening now, being totally oblivious to the signs of the time. Europe is anxious to replace trade transactions in US dollars with the euro, and Washington’s patience with European “obstructionism” in high-stakes trade negotiations is wearing thin, being willing to do “whatever it takes” to protect American interests. Where will all of this end?

“Was uns der Prophet Samuel lehrt! Teil 2,” is the title of this Sabbath’s German sermon, presented by Norbert Link. Title in English: “What the Prophet Samuel Teaches Us! Part 2.”

“By the Power of God,” the sermonette presented last Sabbath by Kalon Mitchell, is now posted. Here is a summary:

The power of God is incredible and yet His Word shows us that we can at this time call upon and partake in some of this power now. Once we are a God being we will have the same power that God and Christ have, but we can use this power in small quantities in accordance with their Will at this present time. But it takes having a close relationship with them to be able to do so.

“A Future Hope,” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Michael Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

There are many things that we hope for in this life but what is it that we should hope for in the time ahead? How is our relationship with God and how should we be living our lives at this moment so we can hope for and be part of a much better future?

“George H.W. Bush and the German Reunification” is the title of the new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

The late American President George H.W. Bush has been described as a gentleman, a generous and true American patriot and a “stroke of luck” for the Germans. From a prophetic standpoint, his most important accomplishment was his contribution to the German reunification. This program describes the events in 1989, when the Berlin Wall fell, and points out the close friendship between President Bush and German Chancellor Helmut Kohl. But neither Bush nor Kohl anticipated what would subsequently transpire; nor, what is still prophesied to happen in the future.

A German AufPostenStehen program, covering the same topic, was also published. Title in German: “George H.W. Bush, Helmut Kohl und die deutsche Wiedervereinigung“  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_q-sOZGFF0

“Let Us Be Clean and Holy!” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

As members of the spiritual Body of Christ we must be clean and holy, and we may think many times that we are, but may deceive ourselves. We must recognize our uncleanness and eradicate it with God’s help.

“How Will the New Russian-Ukrainian Conflict Be ‘Solved’?” is the title of the new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

The Russian blockade of the Azov Sea and the capture of three Ukrainian ships and sailors caused the USA and the EU to condemn Russia for violating international law, but Russia denies this and couldn’t care less. Even though Ukraine is asking NATO and the EU, including Germany, for further economic sanctions and military intervention, this does not seem to be likely. What, then, is going to happen? History from World War II and the Bible give us answers.

A German AufPostenStehen program, covering the same topic, was also published. Title in German: “Wie der neue Konflikt der Ukraine mit Russland ‘gelöst’ wird!”

“What the BIBLE Says on the Brexit Debacle,” is the title of a recent StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

Much has been reported on present and future Brexit negotiations, the real or possible adoption of legally binding or not-binding deals, and further developments and potential outcomes. This can be confusing at times. This program will bring clarity and tell you what the Bible prophesies regarding the EU and Great Britain.

In this edition, we are addressing Europe’s desire for creating a powerful army and core Europe’s last revival of the ancient Roman Empire; the ongoing Brexit debacle with no good solutions for the UK; the future of Gibraltar; the false alternative Temple Theory and Israel’s desire of building a massive third temple on the Temple Mount; the non-exiting German-Israeli Friendship and Europe’s growing anti-Semitism; the Church of God’s debt of gratitude towards the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals; the European arms embargo on Saudi Arabia; and the curse of rising nationalism.

“True Christian Humility,” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Kalon Mitchell, is now posted. Here is a summary:

The Bible enjoins us all to be humble and have the attitude of being as such. But why? Why is it important? What does Christian humility look like? Are there any other parts that go along with being humble? We will look into these questions and discover the important answers.

“Finding our Way Through Faith,” the sermonette presented last Sabbath by Frank Bruno, is now posted. Here is a summary:

In our daily lives we encounter various forms of technology mapping and signage that attempt to point the way. The intent is to assist in our not getting lost, or, to help us find our way once we are lost. There is even a sub-specialty in the architecture and design world dealing with the challenges of Way-Finding. Places such as Hospitals, Airports, Cities, universities, and even Zoos, all rely on clever strategies to set destinations apart—we don’t want to get lost! There are even simple steps we can take in the midst of a wilderness to determine the correct pathway. What about our spiritual path? Are we secure that we are not slowly becoming off-track and lost in our lives?  Can we even recognize the signs? This Sermonette—Finding our Way Through Faith, is intended to offer several key scriptural citations upon which we may rely to connect or reconnect with God. As is the case in our physical lives, our confidence grows when we know we are heading in the right direction.

“Paul’s Final Instructions,” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Robb Harris, is now posted. Here is a summary:

The epistles written to Timothy and Titus at the end of Paul’s life serve as a hands-on instruction in Christianity.  These three books, often referred to as the “Pastoral Epistles”, expressed the love and care Paul had for the church, even as his life waned.  Their practical approach can serve us today as we each walk that narrow path towards salvation

“Coming—A European Empire with a Real Army,” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

French President Emmanuel Macron speaks of the rise of the “ancient demons” of “nationalism” causing World War I and advocates the creation of a “real European army” to “defend against” the USA. The EU Commission, German Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) and the leader of her coalition party, the SPD, want a real European army to form a “counterbalance” to President Trump. Others want to turn Europe into a powerful empire under German-French leadership to “stand in the way of Donald Trump’s administration.” Bible prophecy is being fulfilled for sure.

A new Member Letter (November 2018) will be posted. Pastor Rene Messier writes with a profound sense of urgency that Christians must not turn away from God but draw ever closer to Him.

“The Truth Is What Matters,” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Eric Rank, is now posted. Here is a summary:

The trouble with being human is that we are naturally affected by a barrage of information that so easily distracts us from making good, godly judgment in life. What can we do to filter out the noise, and tune into the signal of the Truth of God?

“Frightening Results and Consequences of Midterm Elections” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link.

Here is a summary:

With the Democrats controlling the House and the Republicans the Senate, legislative gridlock is the inevitable consequence. This division is mirrored by the mood in the country. Europeans are very concerned as to what President Trump will do, expecting him to focus mainly on foreign politics for which he does not need congressional approval. And so, Europe is reacting militarily. All of this is in fulfillment of biblical prophecy, as this program will show.

“Bedrohliche Konsequenzen der amerikanischen Zwischenwahlen” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link. This covers the same topic as the English version described above.

Our monthly Tech Team meeting was conducted on November 4, 2018, via SKYPE. Hosted by Eric Rank, a review of upcoming tasks; status of our broadcast quality; and adjustments to our homepage were discussed.

“Wann (und wann nicht) sollten wir um Gottes Eingreifen beten?” is the title of this Sabbath’s new German sermon, presented by Norbert Link. Title in English: “When (and When Not) Should We Pray for God’s Intervention?”

“Our Compulsion for Outrage,” the sermonette presented last Sabbath by Robb Harris, is now posted. Here is a summary:

The Church is susceptible to outrage just as the world is. A key to fight this attitude has been given to us through God’s spirit and the understanding of who our adversary is. Without God’s Spirit guiding us we are blind and easily drawn away from our goal of redemption.

“Finding the Place of Safety,” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Dave Harris, is now posted. Here is a summary:

Will God protect you in the times of trouble which the Bible describes as the end of this age? Will you be counted worthy? What should you be doing in preparation?

“The TRUE FACTS about America’s Birthright Citizenship,” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

Much has been written and said about the idea of ending America’s birthright citizenship, and both the law and reality have been misrepresented and misconstrued by the media. What DOES the Constitution say, and HOW did the US Supreme Court understand the 14th Amendment, dealing with birthright citizenship? Could it be revoked via executive order or Congress? Is it even perceivable that it could end through federal legislation or a constitutional amendment? And even if that were possible, what might the consequences be? Issues like these continue to divide the nation, and the ensuing emotional upheaval results in more and more verbal and violent confrontations and actions. The Bible shows us what the terrible and frightening outcome will be.

“Warnt Gott den Sünder vor Unglück und Tod?” is the title of this Sabbath’s German sermon, presented by Norbert Link. Title in English: “Does God Warn the Sinner of Calamity and Death?”

“Ready at ALL Times,” the sermonette presented last Sabbath by Michael Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

How are we supposed to prepare at all times? How are we to live our days and how important is prayer? What should we pray for? Are we ready if Christ were to come back tomorrow? Are we worthy enough? Is God our first priority and can we trust Him to take care of ANY situation that we are faced with? Do we truly understand how important God is in our lives and if we shut Him out, what would the consequences be?

“Resist the Devil!” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

Satan rules mankind, but most don’t know about it. And very few understand that Satan’s great wrath and his desire to destroy are directed foremost against God’s people–the true followers of Jesus Christ. We must be aware of the temptations, deceptions and wiles of the devil and of his human instruments, so that we can withstand, conquer and defeat them with God’s help.
