“The Third Temple—Coming Soon?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:  

Will the Third Temple be built soon, or is it being delayed? This program discusses developments showing an indirect relationship to the Third Temple, as well as direct orders to build the Temple.  However, we also show that some, who are responsible for building the Temple, seem to hesitate and thereby delay biblical prophecy. God won’t tolerate this much longer. 

“Kommt der dritte Tempel bald?” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link. This German program covers the same topics as discussed above.

Are you despairing of life? In light of the terrible developments in this world, this might be easy to do, but as Christians, we must not fall into that trap. This does not mean that we close our eyes and ignore what is happening in this world, as these are signs for the soon-coming Return of Jesus Christ. And so, in this program, we are addressing the remarkable military treaty between Germany and Italy and the call for an all-powerful European military leader, as well as the ongoing alienation between the USA and Europe and the terrible situation in Minnesota.

“A Pillar of God’s Word – Respect,” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Kalon Mitchell, is now posted. Here is the summary:

Respect is not optional—it is a pillar of God’s Word that upholds families, communities, and our relationship with Him. This sermon contrasts respect and disrespect across Scripture, showing how love, humility, and reverence produce unity, while pride and contempt lead to division. In a world that is losing respect, God’s people are called to hold the line and reflect His character through proper respect in every relationship.

Impossible? Don’t be too sure!

“Walking Dust,” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Rene Messier is now posted. Here is the summary:

“Trump’s Greenland Deal—Defeat or Distraction?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

In order to answer the question in the title of this program, we will first go back to point out Trump’s statements of his intensions regarding Greenland. In light of those declarations, the answer might become more obvious. But in any event, Trump’s conduct has contributed to the fulfillment of biblical prophecy. This program will show you, how this is the case.

“What Have You Learned About Generosity?” last Sabbath’s sermonette presented by Eric Rank, is now posted. Here is the summary:

Generosity has effects upon the giver that are contrary to human intuition. On the surface, the act of giving takes away from givers, leaving them with less than they started with. However, generosity is not a zero-sum game. The Bible reveals that the act of giving brings unique benefits to all of those involved.

“Those Who Knew Better,” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Dave Harris, is now posted. Here is the summary:

How often have we been confronted with a choice to do something that we knew we shouldn’t do, or to do what we know God commands for us? How do we choose in those situations?

“Germany’s Refusal to Accept Guilt for Authoritarian Corona Measures,” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary.

Instead of being held accountable for her authoritarian and unlawful measures during the coronavirus pandemic, Angela Merkel receives a medal of merit. And instead of taking the alarming statements of US Health Minister Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as an opportunity to come to terms with Germany’s past corona dictatorship, his warnings are simply denied. This broadcast, however, shows how right Kennedy is, and what another “pandemic” could mean for all of us.

“Keine deutsche Schuldanerkennung für autoritäre Coronamaßnahmen,” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Nobert Link. This covers the same topic  as described above.

“I Have Called You,” last Sabbath’s sermonette presented by Christoph Sperzel, is now posted. Here is the summary:

God is calling a special people now for an eternal purpose. He draws them through His Spirit to understand and live by His Word. They must reject the human way and follow Christ’s way of love and obedience. Our mission is to live the gospel and prepare for Christ’s return.

“End-Time Prophecies in the Book of Amos,” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is the summary:

The Old Testament book of Amos—part of the “Minor Prophets”—contains many prophecies for our time, as well as timeless admonitions and teachings. Amos describes events leading up to and on the “Day of the Lord,” and divine warnings for many modern nations. How will God punish these nations, through whom, and why? And what does God say to each of us in the book of Amos?

“Today Venezuela! Who Will Be Next Tomorrow?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

On December 30, 2025, we published a StandingWatch program, titled, “Trump’s Destruction of the Old World Order in 2026.” In it, I mentioned what we can expect of Trump in 2026. I referred especially to Venezuela. A few days later, on Saturday, January 3, the biblical Sabbath, Trump invaded the country. Why did he do it; what are his plans, and which countries might he invade next? Because Venezuela is just the beginning.

“Heute Venezuela! Wer ist morgen dran?” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link. This German program covers the same topics as described above.

“John the Baptist,” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Eric Rank, is now posted. Here is the summary:

John the Baptist fulfilled prophecy through the work of his ministry. What did he do? Why was he an important figure relative to Jesus Christ’s ministry and the growth of the New Testament Church? What can we learn about his life that can give us a deeper understanding of Jesus Christ’s teachings and our Christian conversion?

“Trump’s Destruction of the Old World Order in 2026,” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

The Daily Mail wrote on December 29: “This was the year [2025] the old world order ended. The order that had defeated Nazi Germany…  then went on to see off Soviet communism… The old order… is being swept away, for no good reason, by [the] American president.” This program explains in detail why this is so, and what we can expect to see in 2026.

“Trumps Zerstörung der alten Weltordnung in 2026,” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link. This German program covers the same topics as described above.

“EU Claims: US No Longer “Reliable Partner”—Comments on News and Prophecy, December 27, 2025,” last Sabbath’s first message presented by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is the summary:

Frictions between the USA and Europe continue, and mutual trust disappears rapidly or is already gone. Europe is upset with Trump’s visa bans; and Denmark fumes over Trump’s envoy to Greenland. Trump’s peace plan for Ukraine is as illusionary as ever. At the same time, developments regarding the building of the third temple continue. We also address some “problematic” Christmas messages by several agencies and Trump administration officials. 

“Choose the Better Side,” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Christoph Sperzel is now posted. Here is the summary:

God’s promise of eternal life requires us to check ourselves, repent, and walk the path of change to live according to God’s commands. While worldly insurance offers material security, God’s “life insurance” gives us an absolute guarantee of eternal life—but only if we fulfill His requirements. The Passover reminds us to check our spiritual condition, align our lives with God’s Will, and continually grow and follow Christ so that we may ultimately be ready for the Kingdom of God.

“Why Are They Lying to Us About War and Peace?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

We are bombarded right now with messages of peace. But the sad truth is, they don’t know what they are talking about. The way to peace they don’t know. Rather, they tell us lies to justify our alleged need for more weapons and a bigger army. Or they lie when they say that one cannot govern a country by following Christ’s teachings in the Sermon on the Mount. 

How then will there be peace on earth?

“Warum belügen sie uns über Krieg und Frieden?” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link. This German program covers the same topics as described above.

“The Exit Interview,” last Sabbath’s sermonette presented by Frank Bruno, is now posted. Here is the summary:

In the business world when an employee voluntarily leaves an organization an exit interview is often scheduled in order to learn and improve the organization and the employee. As true Christians we know that we face our most significant interaction with our Creator at the time of our judgement. In this sermonette we will consider several scriptures that can help us become and remain more prepared for this.

“Every Thought,” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Dave Harris, is now posted. Here is the summary:

Christianity is a Way of living, and it involves “spiritual” thinking and acting as Jesus Christ instructs. This stands in total contrast to “carnal” thinking and acting, a way which ends in death.

“Does Trump Sleepwalk Into Catastrophes?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

Many feel that Trump is detached from reality and sleepwalks through this world, not realizing what is and will be occurring. We are giving several examples to prove this conclusion and to show the dangers. Towards the end of this program, we address what God expects of Trump to do now.

Living a balanced life takes continuous practice. How can we detect when we might be falling off balance before we fall? The Bible abounds with examples for us to learn from, so we can become ever better at balancing the varied conditions and competing interests in our lives.

“The War Between America and Europe Has Begun,” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

Really? How can we say this? Well, when you listen to this program until the end, you will know what we mean. And you will agree with us. We are addressing the new American National Security Strategy; Europe’s $140 million fine against Elon Musk and his platform X, and President Trump’s interview with Politico. The condemnatory accusations on both sides of the Atlantic are telling and unparalleled since the end of World War II.

“Der Krieg zwischen den USA und Europa hat begonnen!” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link. This German program covers the same topics as described above.

“Ist der Weihnachtsmann christlich?” last Sabbath’s German sermonette by Dominik Kaltenegger, is now posted. Title in English: “Is Santa Claus Christian?”

“Do the Opposite,” last Sabbath’s first split sermon presented by Michael Link, is now posted. Here is the summary:

Because of ignorance and uncertainty, thinking that “the law” has been done away with, we have what we have today: people doing as they please, keeping holidays which are not from God, abusing their bodies in ways which are shameful in God’s eyes, giving in to sin and deceit, and forsaking God’s specific commands on how to live a Godly life. What does the Bible actually say when it comes to “the law” and in what way are we to do the opposite from what the world in general justifies in their own eyes?

“An Ode to 40,” last Sabbath’s second split sermon presented by Kalon Mitchell, is now posted. Here is the summary:

As I turn 40, I want to reflect on seeing God’s hand in my life while also connecting this personal milestone to the Bible’s repeated use of the number 40 as a symbol of testing, judgment, purification, and new beginnings—from Noah’s flood and Moses’ fasts to Israel’s wandering, Elijah’s journey, and Christ’s temptations and post-resurrection ministry. These “forty” periods always lead to renewal, covenant, and deeper relationship with God. Listeners of any age should view their own trials as God-given opportunities for spiritual growth, transformation, and preparation for His Kingdom.

“Trump and Putin vs. EU and Ukraine?,” a  new StandingWatch program presented by Evangelist Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is the summary:

Trump’s and Putin’s original “peace plan” for ending the Russia-Ukrainian war has alarmed and angered the EU. They feel betrayed and are deeply suspicious of the underlying motives. As a result, they consider the “nuclear option,” which would have devastating consequences for America’s economy. 

“Trump und Putin gegen die EU und die Ukraine?,” a new AufPostenStehen program presented by Norbert Link, is now posted. This German program covers the same topics as described above.

“America in Decline and Free Fall?—Comments on News and Prophecy, November 29, 2025,” last Sabbath’s sermonette presented by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is the summary:

The Bible tells us that America’s decline is inevitable. It is far from over! In fact, the signs indicate that the downfall, which has begun, is irreversible. At the same time, a great power in Europe is rising, which is also explained in God’s Word. In this message, many examples will be given which prove the accuracy of these prophecies.

“Do We Overlook Important Lessons in the Book of Job?,” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is the summary:

The Book of Job is a multifaceted book that is as relevant today as ever. How do we react when we suffer seemingly “without cause”? Do we feel that God is acting unjustly toward us? Do we become entangled in contradictions and, because of our suffering, forget important insights? How do we “comfort” and “teach” someone else who is suffering? Are we sure that our assessment of the situation also applies to that person? Are we truly helping, or are we merely “miserable comforters”? How does God give us answers? What is the true meaning of the Book of Job? And what other inspired truths does it contain for us?
