“Israel’s Netanyahu Ousted?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

It was reported that Benjamin Netanyahu is no longer Israel’s prime minister, as political opponents from eight greatly diverse parties announced Wednesday that they had formed a coalition that would replace him, pending a simple majority vote in Israel’s parliament to be held on or about June 14. However, if only one member does not support the coalition, it will fall apart, and Netanyahu is trying hard to break up the coalition along ideological lines. What does this all mean for the future of the state of Israel?

“The Rise of the European Beast,” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

Europe is rising again, politically, economically, militarily, and religiously. Our focus should be on core Europe, consisting of ten nations or groups of nations. The final leader of that totalitarian system, the beast of the book of Revelation, will be of German or Austrian decent. In this program, we point out remarkable developments in Europe and especially in Germany, as well as the USA and Russia, which should show you how far we are already in the fulfillment of biblical prophecy.

“The Choice of Nicodemus,” is the title of last Sabbath’s sermonette, presented by Frank Bruno. Here is a summary:

Since we were not yet alive during the ministry of Jesus Christ on the earth, we have no idea what it was like to be invited by Jesus to join Him in His work. We may believe that we would have not hesitated at all, had Jesus asked us to follow Him. Like the rich young man who asked Jesus how he might attain eternal life, would we be willing to give up positions, homes and possessions? One man had such a moment, and in this Sermonette we will consider the Scriptures that cover the interaction that Jesus Christ had with a certain powerful Pharisee named Nicodemus, and what lessons we can draw from the brief but meaningful time they spent discussing this very question.

“The Holy Spirit: Power or Person?” is the title of last Sabbath’s sermon, presented by Dave Harris. Here is a summary:

Modern Christianity does not preach what Jesus and His disciples taught—not about the Sabbath observance, salvation, obedience to God’s laws and many other things. Most confusing are their attempts to explain the Holy Spirit of God, or, for that matter, Who is God!

“Turkey Attacks Israel,” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

Using the current fight between Israel and Hamas as a platform, President Erdogan of Turkey has made many anti-Semitic statements against the state of Israel and the Jews, but we would be ill-advised to just look at them as mere idle threats. His dangerous verbal attacks are very revealing in the light of biblical prophecy.

God gave us His law in order to obey it. But doesn’t God also say that we cannot serve or obey Him? On the other hand, He only promises us the gift of the Holy Spirit when we obey Him. How can we reconcile these apparent contradictions, and what exactly is the Holy Spirit which is supposed to dwell in us, and what does it accomplish in and through us?
