Sermon
by Mr Armstrong
Bricket Wood Message 74
given May 1974 in Bricket Wood - played Wales UK 2 July 2005
This Sermon was given shortly after some senior ministers left the Church in 1974 in England. Mr Armstrong deals with the vital role of God's Government and how a major part of our job today is to be sure we remain firmly beneath it. If we do, then - and only then - will we also qualify to administer that identical, loving Government in the coming Kingdom of God. (10.4 Mb)

Armstrong Worship?
Given Ohio USA 25 June 2005
"Armstrong worship" is a term often used against those attempting to return to The Way we were once taught. If it is indeed "worship" - then such people have real problems! The sermon shows how trying to return to The Way we were taught - far from "looking to a man" should actually be the exact opposite: It should be correctly recognising the True Source of The Word that has been revealed to God's people. (11.0 Mb)

News Analysis
by Jon Bowles

Given Peterborough Canada 18 June 2005
This News Analysis examines the continuing disagreement over the British rebate in Europe - and how Britain will not be part of Europe at the time the final European power rises. It also examines how possible plans for construction of a temple in Jerusalem are being drawn up - using modern prefabrication techniques. Though it is unlikely that a physical temple will be completed, the direction it is moving certainly does fit with the fact that evening and morning sacrifices are going to start in that area. (2.6 Mb)

And They Voted No
given in Wales UK 4 June 2005
This sermonette comments on the recent vote against the EU constitution in France and Holland. It quotes from some notes Mr Armstrong wrote in 1944 that explains how the current EU direction could well have come originally from German plans on losing World War II. But the system destined to arise within Europe has its roots much further back - back to the Holy Roman Empire. Could this current "no" vote be the critical issue to drive Europe toward this prophesied fulfillment? (2.8 Mb)

“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!
