“Russia’s and China’s Dangerous Dictatorships,” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

What can we expect from Vladimir Putin’s and Xi Jinping’s ongoing dictatorial military ambitions and actions? Are they in fact a threat to the Western world, including Europe and the USA? What, if anything, do events in Russia and China have to do with biblical prophecy?

The same program was also published in German, titled, “Russlands und Chinas gefährliche Diktaturen” 

“Sie können uns nicht bezahlen!” is the title of this Sabbath’s German sermon, presented by Norbert Link. Title in English: “You Cannot Pay Us!”

“Firewall,” the sermonette presented last Sabbath by Kalon Mitchell, is now posted. Here is a summary:

In IT, networking the need for a firewall is first and foremost. Without a firewall, the entire network would be rendered useless. As Christians, we also need to have firewalls in place. How can we apply this into our lives?

“God or Man? Part 1,” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Michael Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

When is it justified to obey God rather than man, even when it comes to human laws and Godly laws? Do we still need to keep the 10 Commandments today? What do the laws of man suggest and are there any contradictions to the laws of God? When it comes right down to it, will we obey God rather than man? This first part will cover the first 4 Commandments which describe the love towards God.

“Our Human Nature,” the sermonette presented last Sabbath by Michael Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

How do we succeed in the struggle with our human nature?  What lessons can we learn from the beginning of the Bible with Adam and Eve and what we experience in society and the way we live today?  Does it have an effect on our future?

“God’s Law—Blessing or Curse?” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

The New Testament rejects the ridiculous idea that Christ came to abolish or destroy the Law of God. We must know, of course, which Law the Bible is talking about. The Book of Isaiah shows what happens when we break the Law… and when we keep it.

Passover will be observed on Thursday evening, after sunset, on March 29, 2018. The Days of Unleavened Bread will be observed beginning March 30th through April 6th.

“Sexual Relationships—Everything Goes?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, present by Evangelist Norbert Link. In this program, Mr. Link introduces our newest booklet, “God’s Teachings on Sexual Relationships.” This booklet is also featured in a new promotional trailer, presented by Michael Link.

“Was Billy Graham Wrong about Everything?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link.

When Billy Graham died, former Governor from Arkansas and Pastor Mike Huckabee declared that Billy Graham was not dead, but that he was alive right now “in a life that will never end,” and if that was not true, then “everything” he said “was null and void.” However, this program will show that Billy Graham is not alive today, but that does not mean that there is no hope for him to inherit eternal life.

“Lag Billy Graham in allem falsch?” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Nobert Link and which covers the subject matter described above.

“WARUM begehrte Israel einen König?” is the title of this Sabbath’s German sermon, presented by Norbert Link. Title in English:  WHY Did Israel Desire a King?

Our new German booklet, “Lehre Uns zu Beten!” (Translation of, Teach Us to Pray“) was sent to our German printer.

“Succeed,” is the title of last Sabbath’s sermonette, presented by Eric Rank. Here is a summary:

Does the Bible offer any instructions that we can follow to succeed in life? What do we need to do to become successful in our personal endeavors and in the eyes of God?

“The Power of Peace,” is the title of last Sabbath’s sermon, presented by Robb Harris. Here is a summary:

Attaining Godly peace is not a matter of living a pacifist lifestyle in hopes of avoiding conflict.  Godly peace is an acceptance of lifelong struggle.  We must prepare ourselves as warriors, ready to battle the darkness of satanic thought that permeates this world.

Passover will be observed on Thursday evening, after sunset, on March 29, 2018. The Days of Unleavened Bread will be observed beginning March 30th through April 6th.

“Will Horrific Mass Shootings Ever Stop?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

Another terrible school shooting, this time in Florida, begs the question as to whether politicians will finally be willing to do something about those senseless murders. The statistics of gun violence in the USA is alarming and abominable. But what can be done to prevent further atrocities to occur? Many “solutions” are proposed, but even though some may help to some extent, none does address the underlying problem and none will bring a lasting substantive solution. However, there is a way, but for now, it is being rejected. And so, we are going to hear of more and more murders by mentally disturbed and demon-possessed perpetrators.

“God’s Teachings on Sexual Relationships,” our newest booklet, has been mailed to our subscribers. Additionally, this English version has been sent to Germany for further distribution in international areas.

“Teach Us To Pray,” has been translated into German (LEHRE UNS ZU BETEN!) and forwarded to graphic designer, Shelly Bruno.

“Paul’s Letter to the Galatians,” is the title of a new Global Trailer, presented by Pastor Brian Gale. Here is a summary:

Paul’s letter to the Galatians has been quoted over the centuries for proof that the Ten Commandments are no longer in effect. As we will show in this verse-by-verse Bible study, nothing could be further from the truth.

“Gläubige Menschenmengen verfolgen Jesus,” is the title for this Sabbath’s German sermon, presented by Norbert Link. Title in English: “Believing Multitudes Persecute Jesus.”

“A Generation Offered Up to Fire,” the sermonette present last Sabbath by Robb Harris, is now posted. Here is a summary:

We see a constant barrage in this world against everything Godly.  Man searches for answers to fix these problems but ignores the cause: Rejection of God.  The necessity for Christ to return and truly fix a world tearing itself apart is evident to God’s Servants.  We can be part of this by imploring God through prayer that His Kingdom will be set up on earth.

“In Jesus’ Name,” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Dave Harris, is now posted. Here is a summary:

How people appropriate the name of Jesus Christ is truly a matter of life or death! The Bible reveals the awesome responsibility we have to understand and honor the Person Who is the Son of God.

A new Member Letter (February 2018) has been written and mailed to our subscribers. In this letter, Pastor Rene Messier points to the “mission statement” given to the Church of God and emphasizes our need to finish the job God has given to us.

“Germany’s Dirty Politics,” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

The events in Germany serve as a striking example as to how dirty and rotten politics is. But why is that? What can all of us learn from these developments? And do the events point at significant biblical prophecies—especially, when focusing on the political future of Angela Merkel and Martin Schulz?

“Deutschlands Schmutzige Politik,” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link and covering the same topic as described above.

“Erfolgreiche und Vergebliche Arbeit,” is the title of this coming Sabbath’s German sermon, presented by Norbert Link. Title in English: “Successful and Futile Labor.”

“Glorifying God,” the sermonette presented last Sabbath by Kalon Mitchell, is now posted. Here is a summary:

God expressly states in His Holy Word that we should be glorifying Him. What happens when we dont glorify Him? What examples do we see in the Bible? How can we ensure that we are working to glorify God in our thoughts and actions on a daily basis?

“Believing Multitudes Persecute Jesus,” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

Multitudes followed Jesus when He lived here on earth as a human being.  The Bible says that Christ was surrounded by an innumerable multitude of supporters. But many who believed in Him and accepted His teachings ceased to walk with Him; they became aggressive; claimed that He was possessed; and were willing to stone Him because of blasphemy. Only very few remained faithful. How could such a turn of events develop? And is it possible that something like this could happen again in our time?

A Tech Team meeting was conducted via SKYPE on Sunday, February 4, 2018. Hosted by Eric Rank, improvements for live broadcasts for Sabbath services were discussed along with details about Podcasts for the StandingWatch programs.

“The Vatican’s Fight for Mount Zion and Jerusalem,” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

President Erdogan of Turkey and Pope Francis collaborate against Israel. The Vatican almost entirely owns Mount Zion. Astonishing? Not so, if you understand biblical prophecy. This program will explain.

“Du sollst nicht schwören!” is the title of this Sabbath’s German sermon, presented by Norbert Link. Title in English: “You Shall not Swear.”

“What If Ruth Had Lived Today?” the sermonette presented last Sabbath by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

Ruth from Moab came to the land of Judah and married Boaz. Ruth and Boaz became the ancestors of David. Rahab from Jericho became a stranger in Israel and married Salmon, the son of the leader of Judah. Rahab and Salmon became the ancestors of Boaz and of David. Both Joseph and Mary, as well as Jesus, descended from David. But if today’s immigration laws had been in effect at the time of Rahab and Ruth, none of these developments could have happened, and there would have been no David, no Mary, and no Jesus.

“You Shall Not Swear!” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

The topic of swearing and giving an oath is not as easily answered as some may think. Many concepts abound, pro and con. The Bible tells us that God swears; that angels swear; that righteous people in the Old Testament have sworn, and that people in the Millennium will swear. But don’t Jesus and James tell us that we are not to swear at all? However, some claim that Jesus and Paul have sworn. What is the answer?

“God’s Teachings on Sexual Relationships,” our newest booklet, has been posted on the Web.

“Demon Uprising or Medical Side Effects?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

We are told by Catholic priests that demon affliction and possession are on the rise. At the same time, it is admitted that many cases are not based on demon activity, but on mental illness. But hallucinations can also be caused by dangerous side effects of medications, such as the anti-influenza drug, Tamiflu. Even though many have warned against this medication and questioned its effectiveness, the FDA continues to promote it.  At the same time, recommendations by Pope Francis as to how to ban the devil are cause for great concern.

“Dämonische Aktivität oder medizinische Nebenwirkungen?” which covers the same subject in German, is also presented by Mr. Link.

“Verantwortung gegenüber der Predigerschaft,” is the title of this Sabbath’s German sermon, presented by Norbert Link. Title in English: “Responsibility Towards the Ministry.”

“How to Cope with Trials in the Light of Prophecy and Christ’s Return,” the title of a message presented last Sabbath by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

All of us have problems and trials and are oftentimes victims of persecution. Do our problems seem to be overwhelming and unique? Even though Satan is the author of persecution, which is increasing as he knows that his time is short, God will always help us to be victorious. But how can we know that Christ’s return is near? Not by focusing on wrong speculations, but by accepting the clear word of biblical prophecy. And since we know that our time is short, what are we to do now?

“Conquer Our Obstacles,” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Michael Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

We encounter many obstacles in our lives on a daily basis which come in various forms. How can we overcome them and in what ways can we learn from the examples we read about in the Bible?

“Paul’s Letter to the Ephesians,” is the title of a new SW Talking Points, presented by Pastor Rene Messier. Here is a summary:

Paul’s letter to the Ephesians is one of the most comprehensive letters written by Paul to explain to us the nature of God and God’s great plan and purpose for His creation, especially the future of mankind. Sadly, it has been greatly misunderstood by almost everyone who reads it.

“The Book of Zechariah-Prophecies for Today!” is the title of a new Global Trailer, presented by Pastor Brian Gale. Here is a summary:

The book of Zechariah is an extraordinary and clearly inspired book of the Bible. It shows us what will happen very soon. It is indeed a prophecy for our time! It gives us some unique insight into the very workings of the mind of God, beginning even with the name of the book itself.

“Biblical Standards and Prophesies Are Never Wrong!” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

Our weekly Updates include large sections on Current Events. This program gives an overview of the important news of the week, including Donald Trump’s alleged sexual misconduct; the attempts to create a functioning government in Germany; European endeavors and the sad consequences of Brexit. We state clearly our conviction regarding biblical standards and future events, which are based on Scripture and not on opinion polls or the ideas of the media. This includes our often-stated belief that Donald Trump will be reelected in 2020 (if there are American elections in 2020); that a grand coalition in Germany under Merkel and Schulz will come about soon; and that Brexit will not be reversed.

“Verantwortung gegenüber dem sündigen Bruder,” is this Sabbath’s new German sermon, presented by Norbert Link. Title in English: “Responsibility Towards the Sinful Brother.”

“Just the Beginning,” the sermonette presented last Sabbath by Frank Bruno, is now posted. Here is a summary:

We are now able to have a relationship with God through Jesus Christ, and have the opportunity for ultimate salvation if we follow the Truth, the Light and the Word. It is therefore a new Beginning thanks to Jesus Christ.

“Beginning of Sorrows,” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Eric Rank, is now posted. Here is a summary:

As the return of Jesus Christ draws near, what events leading up to the Tribulation does the Bible say will take place? And once we know what to watch for, what does the Bible instruct Christians to do about it? The answers to these questions are timely and relevant!

Our new booklet, “God’s Teaching on Sexual Relationships,” was sent to our Graphic Designer, Shelly Bruno, for finalization.

A new Member Letter (January 2018) has been written and is now posted. In this letter, Robb Harris encourages us to focus on the job at hand—staying close to God andannouncing God’s intervention to establish His Kingdom on the earth.

“Hawaii’s Nuclear Alert Disaster–a Foretaste of Things to Come,” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

“An emergency alert notification sent out on Saturday claiming a ‘ballistic missile threat inbound to Hawaii’ was a false alarm,” caused by an employee who “pushed the wrong button” from a “drop-down menu on a computer program.” Before a retraction was issued, much more went wrong, showing the complete incompetency of those responsible for the entire warning system. The “mayhem in Hawaii raised the specter of an accidental nuclear war,” leading to “global annihilation.” Many feel that the Trump administration has “heightened tensions and increased the risk of accidental calamity.” An example from bygone radio broadcast days shows that panic can ensue when the unimaginable appears to become reality. The sad truth is that the incident in Hawaii and subsequent developments in Japan are a foretaste of prophesied events which will cause “suffering beyond all imagination.”

Three new ad videos have been produced by Mike Link, featuring our free booklet, “The Keys to Happy Marriages and Families!”

“Schutz vor der großen Trübsal, Teil 2,” is the title of this Sabbath’s German sermon, presented by Norbert Link. Title in English: “Protection from the Great Tribulation, Part 2.”

“Seek Righteousness and Be Courageous,” the sermonette presented last Sabbath by Eric Rank, is now posted. Here is a summary:

A large part of living a Christian life involves choosing how to respond to difficult situations. The choices we make when faced with calamity demonstrate our willingness to bring our lives into submission to God. When we find ourselves under pressure, we can find great relief by seeking righteousness and acquiring the courage to put that righteousness into action.

“A Body that Cannot Survive,” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Robb Harris, is now posted. Here is a summary:

We live in an age that predominantly exemplifies the Laodicean attitude. This attitude focuses on the self and not toward our redeemer, Jesus Christ. We must always remember that the head leads the body in all things and not succumbing to a Laodicean attitude requires us to focus on Christ.
