Few understand what the Bible so clearly reveals—all people will die, and all people will live again! Even the unborn will be brought back to life to appear before God!

“Germany Crushes Freedom of Speech and of the Press” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:
This program addresses terrible developments in Germany which attacks Democracy and seems to move towards an autocratic dictatorship. To prove this, we are pointing out three steps towards this frightening outcome—suppression of journalism; unfounded prosecution under the guise of “denigrating the state”; and banning a magazine which “dares” to criticize the German government.
“Warum wird Gott bald die Menschen plagen?” is the title of this Sabbath’s German sermon, presented by Norbert Link. Title in English: “Why Will God Soon Plague Mankind?”
“Bevor es zu spät ist!”, last Sabbath’s German sermonette presented by Dmitrij Niemann, is now posted. Title in English: “Before It’s Too Late.”
“Neue Kriegsführung? Was wäre, wenn…”, last Sabbath’s German sermon presented by Thilo Hanstein, is now posted. Title in English: “New warfare? What if…”
“Never Let Go,” last Sabbath’s sermonette presented by Frank Bruno, is now posted. Here is a summary:
As a child learning to take those first few steps, or as a parent helping our kids do that, we appreciate the clutch of those tiny fingers on ours as the young ones take their halting first steps. There is a certainty and security that we know the child relies on. They have faith that their parent will be there to protect them. It is visceral and without question. We know that a true Christian should have that same absolute confidence in his or her relationship with the Father. If we rely on Him, He is there to protect us, guide us, and lead us in growing in our faith. In this Sermonette, we will cover several Scriptures and examples that illustrate this bond that we who are called have with our Creator.
“We Are God’s Workers,” last Sabbath’s sermon by Eric Rank, is now posted. Here is a summary:
Being a Christian involves work. What kind of work are we obligated to do as fruitful laborers in the eyes of God? What does it mean to be productive in our work?

“The French and British Frankenstein Monster,” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:
The French and British people have voted, and they have created for themselves a Frankenstein Monster which will turn against them. What is so alarming about the election results in both countries? And how does this confirm again the reliability and truth of biblical prophecy, as clearly revealed in Scripture?
“Das französische und englische Frankenstein Monster,” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. This program covers the same topic as described above.

“Biden’s Decline and Trump’s Provocations—Comments on News and Prophecy, July 6, 2024,” a presentation by Norbert Link during last Sabbath, is now posted. Here is the summary:
Many say that Biden must go, due to his perceived mental decline, but he does not want to quit his 2024 bid, unless “the Lord Almighty” comes out to tell him. But realistically, who could replace Biden so late in the game? There seem to be no good choices for the Democrats. On the other hand, Europe’s fear of “Trump’s second coming” is growing. And Trump does not help to alleviate those fears—his posts and comments seem to just accomplish the opposite. Some, like Ivanka Trump and Michelle Obama, say that they want to distance themselves from politics. What do they see that others don’t?
“Choose Life,” last Sabbath’s sermonette presented by Paul Niehoff, is now posted. Here is the summary:
God has created us to be a part of His family forever. To fulfill His desire, we must be continually choosing life and never giving up on this choice and the way of life that this choice requires.
“Before You And Behind You,” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Kalon Mitchell, is now posted. Here is the summary:
It can be hard as a Christian to always keep in mind that we are God’s children; especially, when we face various trials and tests. When we stop to contemplate just what God does for us, we can see that He truly is there for us in all aspects of our lives, no matter what we will face. How much confidence do we put in God being there for us?

“This Is the Work of God,” last Sabbath’s sermonette presented by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is the summary:
The Work of God can be described in many different ways, but one definition which Christ gave is truly remarkable. What is that definition, and how does it apply to us?
“As You Wish,” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Michael Link, is now posted. Here is the summary:
In this day and age there is so much want and desire, wishing for things that others have. This is dangerous as this could lead to sin. However, we in God’s Church have something that others do not, something that anyone can only wish for.

“What’s Your Vote for the Next President?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:
Trump complained recently that many Evangelicals and Christians do not vote. Why is this the case? Why wouldn’t some Christians vote for Trump or Biden or another candidate? The reasons might be manifold, depending on numerous issues and controversial positions, but what does the Bible say on principle about presidential elections? Shouldn’t Christians at least vote for the “lesser evil”?
“Wem geben Sie Ihre Stimme bei den nächsten Wahlen?” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link. This German program covers similar topics as described above.
“Dein Wunsch soll gewährt werden!” is the title of this Sabbath’s German sermon, presented by Michael Link. Title in English: “Your Wish Shall Be Granted!”

“Hope and Faith Versus Fear and Doubt,” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Eric Rank, is now posted. Here is the summary:
What inspires you? Does fear and doubt seize you from moving forward? We can overcome the grip of fear and doubt by putting the power of hope for God’s promises to work in our lives!
Who Made It?
Time and again, in the Bible, God says that He made it—that He is Creator of the heavens and earth, of life and so much more!
Our Near Horizon
We might think of things being on the near horizon—that is, that something will almost certainly happen or be done quite soon. The word horizon is defined by most dictionaries as the place in the distance where the earth and sky seem to meet.
Metaphorically, new horizons may refer to fresh starts, greater understanding or different goals. Being drawn into the truth of God and having our minds opened to understand the Bible has given us vision from God’s perspective and certainly, vastly new horizons!
How are we handling the horizon of future events? Jesus revealed signs which would take place leading to His return and the end of this age, and He specifically said, “‘See I have told you beforehand’” (Matthew 24:25).
Jesus went on to say that we should “watch” and “be ready” as the prophetic horizon of end time events becomes the near horizon of our lives!
This world is on the edge of a precipice—the brink of a dangerous and disastrous situation, and it will fall! This is the time of the end of the age! Have we become comfortable and complacent with the way things are? Do we truly understand the gravity of our time. We are admonished:
“Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall” (1 Corinthians 10:12).
Jesus forewarned:
“‘But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man” (Luke 21:34-36).
Our horizon must always be the Kingdom of God—both near and far. That was what Jesus Christ sought in His life, and He now sits at the right hand of the Father, so “…that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need” (Hebrews 4:16).

“Many Are Called, But Few Are Chosen,” is the title of our newest booklet, and it has entered the first review stage.
“America Prepares for the Draft and Global War” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:
Movements are in place in the USA automatically registering all men (and perhaps women) aged 18 to 26 for selective service—including American citizens and undocumented aliens. The connection between this development, reinstating the draft and preparing for global nuclear war should not be overlooked. What should a Christian’s position be in regard to military service and fighting in war? And how will you answer Jesus Christ when you stand in front of His judgment seat?
“Will There Be War Between Russia and Germany?” is the title of a recent StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:
Many in Germany seem to believe that such a war will break out, while others are not convinced of it. In any event, Germany is preparing for war with Russia, and this program shows the incredible and shocking extent of such preparation with brand-new frightening developments involving Russia as well. What does the Bible have to say about all of this?

“Take Heed How You Build,” the sermonette presented last Sabbath by Kalon Mitchell, is now posted. Here is the summary:
When building a structure, careful attention must be given as to how it is built. Christians are in the building-business as well, and careful attention must also be given to how we build upon Jesus Christ, our chief cornerstone.
“God’s Spirit of Love,” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is the summary:
The Holy Spirit within us is a Spirit of love; specifically, it is God’s love in us, given to us through the Holy Spirit. But how does this divine love express itself in our daily lives? Is it separate from keeping the commandments? Can you lose this divine love? And how does God’s love relate to the proclamation of the gospel and the feeding of the flock?
“Earnest,” the Pentecost Offertory presented by Eric Rank, is now posted. Here is the summary:
God gives us His Holy Spirit as a down payment for our complete redemption. In this way, He invests in our salvation. When we give our offerings to God on the commanded Holy Days, we demonstrate our willingness to give back to God as an expression of our gratitude for His gifts.

There are occupations where lifesaving plays an important role for physical protection but there is something else they can’t provide. How can our lives be saved and what is required of us to achieve this? What has God given us that would save our lives and do WE not offer life-saving advice to the world?

This sermon looks at the matter of time – something that we can’t see, touch, feel, smell or taste but something that we are well aware of. There are seven different points which are discussed.
