“Britain’s Fall Is Inevitable,” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

The situation in Great Britain is catastrophic, and God tells us why. The resignation of Liz Truss after just 45 days in office and the “undemocratic” election of Rishi Sunak should show even the casual observer that Britain’s fate is sealed; especially, when considering what Sunak stands for. One paper wrote that “a voice is missing to save England.” But is this really so?

“Großbritanniens Fall ist sicher,” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link. This German program covers the same topic as described above.

We are pleased to announce that ten people were baptized during the Fall Festival; also Daniel Blasinger was ordained Deacon during this time. Congratulations to ALL!

Please Note: Sermonettes and Sermons presented during the Fall Holy Days are or will be posted on our websites: www.eternalgod.org and https://www.ewigengottes.de/

“Our Ultimate Human Potential,” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

First, God created spirit beings and things within the spirit world, and the Bible also shows us WHAT He created. In due course, He created the physical world—the universe with its galaxies, suns, and stars, and our earth. Science is still puzzled to this day as to how the universe came into being. The earth later became void and empty, and God renewed the face of the earth and created man. Why? What is the purpose of human existence, and what does the Bible reveal about the future of man… as well as the future of our solar system and the entire universe?

Nevertheless

The end of this age is upon us, and we are experiencing ever-increasing troubles just as the Word of God has warned. Beyond the cataclysmic things happening around us in the world, we all seem to be going through many extraordinary personal challenges.

At times, we might even wonder where God is and if He is watching over us. Will He respond when we pray about the bad things we suffer? Does He really and personally hear the myriads of other requests His people bring before Him?

We are told by the Apostle Peter, Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you” (1 Peter 4:12). The Apostle James adds: “My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience [endurance or perseverance]” (James 1:2-3).

Peter adds:

“In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ…” (1 Peter 1:6-7).

It isn’t too difficult to find many other Scriptures which explain exactly why God allows us to go through trials. The point is this, God may not remove the ordeal immediately, but, if we keep trusting Him, He will bring us through the trial.

Consider what Jesus asked the Father when He prayed, “‘O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will’” (Matthew 26:39). Jesus knew that He was facing death, and He asked the Father three different times to be delivered from what He was about to suffer. God didn’t answer those three requests from Jesus by removing the trial, but He sent an angel to give Him strength.

And so, Jesus persevered to complete this great trial, but it was difficult right up until the last moment, for Jesus said, “‘My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?’” (Matthew 27:46). Of course, the Father did not forsake His Son, but the trial Jesus faced was death and He, alone, had to endure and complete it. He passed that trial and now lives because God resurrected Him (1 Corinthians 6:14; Galatians 1:1; 1 Peter 1:21).

Just like Jesus, none of us wants to suffer great trials, but we know that we will be tested in order to perfect us. In tough times, we have this assurance:

“For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:38-39).

With that promise, we can also pray to God, saying: “‘Nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.’”

LGD: Our Calling To Eternal Life!

This eighth day—the time which has come to be called “the Last Great Day” does not end the plan of God! The Bible reveals that a New Heaven and Earth and a New Jerusalem will be created by God. This future time will also include the New Members of the Family of God—those who will have a place in the eternal realm of God’s glorious New Kingdom!

“True Worship,” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Dave Harris, is now posted. Here is a summary:

The Bible instructs about what is required for true worship, and it warns about false worship. What about your worship—is it true or is it false?

“Look Inside,” the Offertory presented on the Feast of Trumpets by Frank Bruno, is now posted. Here is a summary:

We are commanded to bring an offering before God on His appointed Holy Days. However, as we consider the amount to offer we have to examine our motivation and our heart. That means that our intent in giving back to God must extend beyond our budget and focus on our ability to honor and serve Him. In this message we will consider the scriptures and life examples that make this clear.

“The Trumpet Will Sound,” the sermon presented on the Feast of Trumpets by Dave Harris, is now posted. Here is a summary:

“How and When Will There Be Worldwide Nuclear War?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

We hear more and more about the danger of a tactical or limited or even worldwide nuclear war, especially in regard to the war in Ukraine and the situation involving Taiwan, but many dismiss this idea as absurd. The Bible does predict a global catastrophic nuclear war, but it will occur quite differently from what many suspect.

“Wie und wann wird weltweiter Atomkrieg kommen?” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link. This German language program covers the same topic as described above.

“Eine Frage der Verantwortung,” is the title of last Sabbath’s German sermonette, presented by Andreas Ratz. Title in English: “A Question of Responsibility.”

“Wissen ist Macht,” is the title of last Sabbath’s German sermon, presented by Thilo Hanstein. Title in English, “Knowledge is Power.”

“Tempted—Yet Without Sin,” the first split-sermon presented last Sabbath by Dave Harris, is now posted. Here is a summary:

Satan’s temptation of us is to cause us to fail, but God’s testing of us is for our success. We should always respond to the situation in the same way and that is to overcome all through obedience to God!

“Without Hypocrisy,” the second split-sermon presented last Sabbath by Eric Rank, is now posted. Here is a summary:

Hypocrisy is a poisonous trait that Jesus condemned in several confrontations during His ministry. Yet, it can be so easy to discover inconsistencies between our behavior and the beliefs that we say we have. What can we do to live a Christian life without hypocrisy?

“So You Wanna Fight?” the sermonette presented last Sabbath by Kalon Mitchell, is now posted. Here is a summary:

As Christians we have to be ready to fight. We know we will have to face battles in our lives and we must face them head on with confidence that we can win because God is by our side and He wants us to win. But we must be willing and zealous in our approach!

“Fight Like Christians,” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Michael Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

The world relies on war to bring about peace, but that is not the way to achieve it.  God never intended wars to be fought in the first place, as the Bible explains, but we are to be peacemakers.  We do however fight against the god of this world.  What do we need to do so we can be victorious?
