“The AfD Classification and Germany’s Attack on Freedom of Speech,” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

Germany’s classification of the AfD as a “right-wing extremist party” by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution has been sharply criticized by the US government. Many voices in Germany and Austria are also criticizing the decision, calling it a political maneuver, an attack on freedom of expression, and a serious state crisis of civil rights. This puts Chancellor Friedrich Merz under pressure. The AfD can only benefit from all of this, especially given the weak coalition of the CDU/CSU and the SPD.

“Trump’s Peace Plan—A Failure!” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

WHY is Trump’s peace plan for the Russian-Ukrainian war a complete failure? WHY was it doomed from the start? And WHY should this have been obvious to all involved if only they had understood and heeded biblical prophecies? And regardless of the Bible, WHY should the failure of the peace plan have been recognized if more weight had been given to recent history and the statements of those involved?

Pope Francis aroused much anger and fury within the Catholic Church, dividing the Church between the “reform-oriented group” and the “traditionalists.” This program addresses the main disputes and wonders what position the next pope will adopt. We also address a prophecy about popes that gives us food for thought. Will the next pope be the last?

When will their resurrection from the dead take place?

Rubies as gemstones have been prized by kings and craftsmen for many years. Various Scriptures place value on qualities such as wisdom and integrity above that of these gemstones.

“Do We Really Need to Keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread?” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Brian Gale, is now posted. Here is the summary:

The annual festivals pictured events of historic importance to ancient Israel, and today to the true Christian. Recall that when God revealed His weekly Sabbath to the Israelites, it was a sign and a memorial so they would remember that He is the Creator and that they were His people.  And God also gave them the annual festivals for His Church showing the plan of God in eventually delivering the entire world from sin.

“Generosity,” the Offertory presented on the First Day of Unleavened Bread by Eric Rank, is now posted. Here is the summary:

The Feast of Unleavened Bread is a commanded Holy Day when God instructs His people to appear with an offering. The offering we give reflects our gratitude and love for God. As we give, we should consider what it reveals about our heart. When done well, our act of giving will delight God and bring us joy as well. Giving from the abundance of our heart pleases God tremendously.

How is the shed blood of Christ fundamentally different from the blood of animal sacrifices in the Old Testament? What was the purpose of animal sacrifices and the blood of the Passover lamb? How was all of this misunderstood by Israel? Can we, by consuming wine as a symbol of Christ’s blood, make the same mistake? This sermon will show that Christ’s shed blood is necessary for our salvation and why it is so precious and priceless.

Even before April 2, drastic tariffs had been imposed by Trump on certain nations. On “Liberation Day,” these tariffs were largely increased for virtually ALL countries.

Voices in Europe are describing the USA as their enemy. The USA describes the EU as “freeloaders” which has harmed and abused America.

In light of most recent developments in the USA, foreign tourists, as well as legal temporary or permanent residents (“Green card holders”), are concerned as never before. Also, why is the application of the Alien Enemies Act (AEA) of 1978 extremely problematic? Will Trump’s tariffs, together with his warnings for American automakers, damage the economy? In other news, we discuss J.D. Vance’s visit to Greenland; the dictatorship of Turkey’s PM Erdogan; Putin’s unacceptable demands; and LA Mayor Bass’s failure to issue building permits to fire victims, contrary to what she has promised.

“The Coming False Prophet,” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is the summary:

The false prophet who will perform lying signs and wonders! Who will be possessed! Who will stand in the temple of God and claim to be God! Who will lead a large religious organization! Who is this person, and with what other name is he designated in the Bible? What organization will he lead, and how is it described in the Bible? What is the abomination of desolation, and what other abominations will there be in Jerusalem?

“Will Trump and Putin End the Russia-Ukraine War?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

Will Putin agree to a ceasefire and perhaps even to the end of the war between Russia and Ukraine? Many doubt this. Still, the end of that war will come, but not now; not in ways most expect or anticipate; and not due to “negotiations” between Trump and Putin. What does this all mean for YOU? What does GOD tell us about war in general, and this war in particular?

“Werden Trump und Putin den Russland-Ukraine Krieg beenden?” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link. This German program covers the same topic as described above.

In this Sermonette we will consider various scriptures that will illustrate that as true Christians we must strengthen, and lean into our relationship with God the Father to keep our spiritual home in order. All else pales in comparison.

“God Is Our Refuge,” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Dave Harris, is now posted. Here is the summary:

Finding true refuge is an illusive dream for many downtrodden people. However, that opportunity is available for those whom God has and will call to be a part of His eternal Family. Can we say that God is also our refuge?

“Why Do You Believe?” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Eric Rank, is now posted. Here is the summary:

For those whom God calls in this age, He calls them uniquely. At the point of conversion, each one of us confirms our beliefs that set the direction for the rest of our lives. The reasons why we believe in the promise of God must be strong enough to guide us through our life’s journey. Are we working hard enough to strengthen our beliefs to lead us into salvation?
