World Tomorrow

Healing and the Anointing Cloth
played Wales UK 17 Sept 2005
(Start missing) "...A lot of people because they are not as a rule the largest, most powerful and most dignified sects and denominations. Very often my friends, these things are done in a wrong manner that only heaps ridicule upon them. But actually, you know, when we look back into the life and the experience of Jesus Christ - to see what He did - to see the example that He set, to see the things that He did say, to see what He taught, and how He commissioned His disciples, and when we look into the early church, to see just what the apostles and the elders and the leaders of the true Church as it was led by the Spirit of God did do in those early years - of the True Church - we do receive some surprises..." (1.8 Mb)

Sermon
by Ian Henderson
Jesus - The Man
given Bristol UK 10 Sept 2005
Mr Armstrong often referred to a book written by Bruce Barton about the real Jesus Christ - "The Man Nobody Knows". This sermon first quotes extensively from this book - showing how the traditional pictorial images of Jesus - normally produced by the "christianity" of this world - are totally and utterly false. Then at the end of the sermon, it goes on to show how the spiritual righteousness and life-style - that we have all been commanded to emulate (1Cor 11:1; 2Cor 3:18) - is just as dynamic as the man himself - a true reflection of the real Jesus Christ.  (12.0 Mb)

Christ Does Not Change
given Bristol UK 10 Sept 2005
Do foundational doctrines reflect society? Can something like homosexuality, idol worship or Sabbath breaking be "declared" righteous today? This sermonette shows that The God who gave His Law - who defines right from wrong - does not change. And Jesus Christ - who we must emulate - remains completely "the same yesterday, today and forever" (Heb 13:8). (2.0 Mb)

Why Is The Church As It Is Today?
given Wales UK 3 Sept 2005
Today we find what was once the Church of God in a scattered state. But why? What is the purpose of God in having His Church in its present condition? There is one specific reason, and this sermon highlights it by emphasizing that we all must: Remember God's Purpose and Plan; Remember what has been prophesied for the end time; and Remember the 2 Trees, and Government - two aspects that Mr Armstrong constantly highlighted. (12.3 Mb)

God's Chosen Leaders
given Peterborough Canada 27 Aug 2005
This sermon compares the unique roles of Samuel and Mr Armstrong. Although thousands of years apart, they share a great deal in common, as they both came on the scene at times of crisis for the Truth of God - and both gave an anchor, a spiritual heritage, that was - and is still today - vital for the times in which we find ourselves. (10.0 Mb)

Dealing With Each Other for Unity At The Feast
given Owerri Nigeria 20 Aug 2005
This Sermon was given in Nigeria where the brethren will keep the Feast without a minister present. Mr Armstrong found that when a Church found itself in similar circumstances, there were often problems - but this was before the Internet, cassette tapes, mobile phones etc. Today, God expects us to grow in grace and knowledge on an individual basis - and there are specific steps we can take to ensure that Godly unity can be maintained. (11.1 Mb)

Trumpets 85 - HWAs Final Sermon
given 16 Sept 1985 - played Wales UK 13 Aug 2005
This sermon was the last message preached by Mr Armstrong before his death a few months later. Although given on the Day of Trumpets, the subject matter is timeless - and places our existence into the framework of God's overall Plan and the soon coming return of Jesus Christ to this earth. As always, the importance of correctly understanding the two trees figures just as strongly as ever within it. (View Transcript) (10.8 Mb)

News Analysis
by Jon Bowles

given Wales UK 30 July 2005
This News Analysis deals with the recent terror attacks in London, and some of the more disturbing comments that have been made as a result - comments that may eventually even have an impact on God's Church. Legislation is being passed that has to be seen to be "even handed", so the measures proposed are not just designed against Islamic organizations, but other religious organizations as well. However, a key ingredient that separates us from such groups in the eyes of the world is given - that we are pre-millennialist, and therefore only believe in the forcible replacement of civilization after the return of Jesus Christ. (1.5 Mb)

Hungering for God's Righteousness
given 11 June 1983 - played Wales UK 30 July 2005
This sermon was given when the Church was being put back on Track - and deals extensively with the makeup issue and how some would only agree to change if they were backed into a corner by scripture. Mr. Armstrong points out that sin involves much more than breaking the letter of the law. It involves an attitude that flows contrary to God's Life Style. We must instead hunger and thirst for that Life Style - That Way - the very righteousness of God. (10.2 Mb)

According to what God says, they are the very temple of the Living God - and it is that aspect - and only that aspect - that gives such a human being true value. (1.5 Mb)

Sermonette
by Jon Bowles
Will Satan be Destroyed?
given Bristol UK 9 July 2005
Some churches believe that as God is all powerful, Satan is destined to be utterly destroyed. They often base their teaching on Ezek 28:16. However, there is a vital reason why Satan will not be destroyed - though he is going to be banished and rendered utterly ineffective. This sermonette explains this, and gives the true meaning of the verse found in Ezek 28. (1.3 Mb)

The News Behind The News
given Bristol UK 9 July 2005
This sermon shows how the news being presented to us in the media, does not concentrate on the important items that allow us to see prophecy unfold, but rather on items that will give those providing it the greatest profit possible. For this reason, we have to dig deeper ourselves - in such areas as: Wars; Famines; Natural disasters; the Israelitish nations; Europe; The Middle East; The Far East; and Religion.

“Just what is an APOSTLE?”
Just what is an Apostle?

Today we find the Church of God in a “wilderness of religious confusion!”

The confusion is not merely around the Church – within the religions of the world outside – but WITHIN the very heart of The True Church itself!
