Living The BE Attitudes given Peterborough Canada 2 Sept 2006 |
Carnal human beings either ignore God's Law - his Torah, or Way of Life - or attempt to keep it like a Pharisee. But Christ instructs that our righteousness must exceed that of a Pharisee (Matt 5:20). This is only possible when the administration we use is that of the spirit and not the letter (2Cor 3:6) - an approach Jesus Christ explains in the Beatitudes found in Matt 5 - vital attitudes that must BE in God's True Church today.

Walking Before God given Owerri Nigeria 26 August 2006 |
This sermon examines the command found within Matt 5 that we are to be perfect - as our Father in heaven is perfect - by showing the link between this passage and the command to Abraham - the father of the faithful. God commands Abraham in Gen 17:1 to "walk before Him" and be perfect. The sermon: looks at similar scriptures; shows how God is always with us; How God watches; and how God blesses. (12.0 Mb) | ||

Restored Doctrine Deception given Bristol UK 19 August 2006 |
The 18 truths - originally published in the Worldwide News after Mr Armstrong died - were assumed to be something that originally came from him. But certain aspects were missing: The Identity of Babylon and her daughters; That Satan is the guilty party; And that we are to remain separate from the world. This sermonette shows how even in 1986, the direction the Church was taking was clearly directed off track. (1.0 Mb) | ||

Food in Due Season given Bristol UK 19 August 2006 |

Building The Temple given Seattle USA 14 Feb 1981 played Wales UK 12 Aug 2006 |
This sermon does not just examine the fact that God is now building His Temple spiritually, prior to the return of Christ, but that Mr Armstrong personally was the one that God was (and is still today) using to do so. The sermon is particularly long (2h 15m). Although the audio quality is good throughout most of the file, our apologies for the fact that in two sections it is poor: the first 3 mins, and the last 20 mins. (21.0 Mb) | ||

Born Again broadcast 26 Apr 1979 - played Wales UK 5 Aug 2006 |
"Why is it - let me ask once again, my friends - that you have not heard the gospel of Jesus Christ, but rather a false gospel - a gospel that masquerades as the gospel of Jesus Christ, that which in fact is merely a gospel about His person and which represents Jesus Christ as a sort of smart-aleck young man who knew more than His Father and came to do away with His Father's law - to knock it in the head, and to institute a new and different kind of religion. Now Jesus did not introduce any new and different kind of religion whatsoever. He did come to bring a message that the world had not understood or known, although it had been declared - at least in its broad outline to the prophets of old..." (3.0 Mb) | ||

Catching The Vision given Wales UK 29 July 2006 |
This sermon continues the aspects of "end time faith" examined last week, expanding on the specific fact that we need to view ourselves as strangers and pilgrims on the earth at present. It shows how a large part of doing this, involves "catching the vision" set before us by God. It examines: Faith and the vision; The vision found on the cogiw website; To plant the heavens; To lay the foundations of the earth; To say to Zion, "You are my people". (13.0 Mb) | ||

Praying With Our Children given Wales UK 29 July 2006 |
Prayer is vital for all of us - including our children. Establishing an early relationship with God will help them through life, and protect them from many evils as they grow up. But encouraging them in this direction takes diligence as a parent - something each of us as parents needs. (1.0 Mb) | ||

End Time Faith given Oswestry UK 22 July 2006 |
Christ asks the question in Matt 18 - when He returns, will he find faith on the earth? It is obviously a problem today, but why, and what can be done about it. This sermon goes through the first few verses of "the faith chapter" (Heb 11) and examines each verse in the light of the end time. Within Heb 11, there is a vital key revealed that each of us needs to apply in our own lives at this crucial point in history. (12.0 Mb) | ||

Can You Prove It? given Peterborough Canada 15 July 2006 |
All around us in the creation, there is the proof of God's existence to the open mind. The same is also true within scripture for those with the eyes to see. At this crucial time in history, such proof is vitally important - so that our confidence remains firmly placed in the True God, and nothing else is substituted. (1.0 Mb) | ||

Companion - or Acquaintance? given Peterborough Canada 15 July 2006 |
Are we mere acquaintances of each other? Or are we true spiritual companions? How far would we go for each other? Would we lay our lives on the line for our friends - as instructed by Christ in John 15:13 and as He did Himself - or do we fall short? The example of Paul is particularly valuable in examining this subject - both in his need for spiritual companions through his ministry, and in the way he was himself a spiritual companion to those with him in the Church.

Food and Fellowship given Bristol UK 8 July 2006 |
Our physical lives depend on the food we eat. But God has made the process very enjoyable - and something within scripture which is shown as a social occasion around a meal table. This can be seen historically, and also prophetically - even into our immortal lives after the resurrection. This sermon examines this fascinating subject. (6.0 Mb) | ||

The Ark of the Covenant given Bristol UK 8 July 2006 |
In Rev 11:19 there is a vision given of the Temple of God in heaven, and at its centre - the Ark of the Covenant. But why the Ark? What was it? What did it contain? What was it associated with? And where is it today? The answers to such questions have much to say to each of us at this present time. The beginning of Rev 11 describes this future Spiritual Temple - with the Ark at its heart - as being measured and tested today just prior to the resurrection. Understanding the Ark therefore helps us to understand what criteria God uses for this testing. (7.0 Mb) | ||

The Trunk of the Tree given Oct 1983 - played Wales UK 1 July 2006 |
In this sermon, Mr Armstrong gives a complete overview - having just returned from the Feast - and lays out the Plan of God, revealed by Jesus Christ, that we all must hold onto as our foundation - the very Trunk of the Tree. He also states, God says, "Mark those that are causing division, and offenses, contrary to the doctrine that we've been taught through Christ, and avoid them." There are just two ways we can avoid them, one is that if we all get out, we leave the Church and leave them in. The other is if we put them out... If only God's people had listened - and acted on this instruction - when Worldwide first began departing from the foundation Christ laid! (15.0 Mb) | ||

Firstfruits - Baked With Leaven given Bristol UK Pcost 4 June 2006 |
The Grain Sacrifice given at Pentecost was unique, in that it was baked with leaven - showing we are not sinless as are those offerings given to represent Christ. The important thing we therefore have to keep in mind as Firstfruits to God, is that it must be God, not ourselves, that builds what is holy within us. (1.5 Mb) | ||
