“(When) Is Abortion Murder in the Eyes of God?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary: 

A leaked draft of US Supreme Court Judge Samuel Alito, stating that the majority opinion from the court would overturn Roe v. Wade, which legalized the right to abortion across the country, has been met with outrage and condemnation. Practicing Catholic politicians like Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi or Chuck Schumer strongly opposed the proposed Court decision, saying that the woman’s right to choose must be upheld. But what about the right of the unborn child and of the father? What is GOD’s viewpoint? Is abortion wrong? And if wrong, is it only sometimes wrong, or is it always wrong and a sin and a crime in God’s eyes? 

Pentecost will be observed on Sunday, June 5, 2022. We will broadcast a live service at 12:30 pm, PST.

A new Member Letter (May 2022) has been written and posted. This letter reports on our recent Church Conference and will be sent to those who are on our mailing list.

“Two Mountains—Only One Choice,” the first split sermon presented last Sabbath by Frank Bruno, is now posted. Here is a summary:

When we do not trust in God and His promise for us, we fail to obey Him. The Israelites were brought to the edge of the promised land, yet still failed to trust in God—despite ample examples of God’s love and mercy for His chosen ones. Unbelief can be our undoing and lead us into sin. This Split Sermon will cover scriptures that bring to light the choice God places in front of us, and how we can grow stronger in our faith.

“A Broken Spirit,” the second split sermon presented last Sabbath by Eric Rank, is now posted. Here is a summary:

The Bible tells us that a broken spirit is a sacrifice to God. On the face of it, a broken spirit sounds like something that is a source of discouragement. This might seem contradictory to the faithful, positive attitude that Christians are also instructed to develop. What does it actually mean to have a broken spirit?

“Did Hitler Have Jewish Blood?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov was condemned by Israel, as well as many others, for his recent comments that Nazi leader Adolf Hitler “had Jewish blood.” But where does this idea come from? And can it teach us something about the arrival of the coming beast mentioned in the book of Revelation and other prophetic biblical books?

“Hatte Hitler jüdisches Blut?” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link. This program covers the same topic as described above.

“Impossible Without a Miracle,” the sermonette presented last Sabbath by Brian Gale, is now posted. Here is a summary:

This message contains some conjecture about the place of safety which is promised to the true church at the time of the Great Tribulation.  Scripture is clear about the event but neither the place nor the timing is known, nor are the travel arrangements!  Some speculative ideas are reviewed as to how this might happen.

“Equality with God in His Kingdom?”,the sermon presented last Sabbath by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

Is it our destiny to attain equality with God? Or just a certain resemblance? Is Christ equal to God or just similar to Him? What does it mean to inherit the Kingdom of God? What IS the Kingdom of God? Do we have to do something to inherit it? What is meant by “born again”? Who or what is God? IS God a Family, or does He just HAVE a Family? What is the connection between God, the God Family, and the Kingdom of God? What is the gospel of the Kingdom? And finally, what is the most important work of God on earth today?

“Weak German Government under Attack,” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

The world disapproves of Germany’s conduct towards Ukraine. Germany’s chancellor Olaf Scholz is considered as being weak and indecisive, and far too much beholden to Putin. What does this mean for Germany’s future?

“Schwache deutsche Regierung unter Beschuss,” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link. This German language program covers the same material as described above.

“Three Good Reasons to Give,” the Offertory presented on the Last Day of Unleavened Bread by Brian Gale, is now posted. Here is a summary:

Giving to the One Who created us all is a reflection of the priorities that we have in our life.  It is a privilege to give and we know that a blessing is promised by God for those who follow His instructions as we can read in Malachi 3.   This message gives three good reasons to give.

“A Catalog of Sins—Not that Important?”  the sermon presented on the Last Day of Unleavened Bread by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

Have you created a catalog of sins that distinguishes between important and not so important actions? Does the Bible teach the concept of the seven deadly sins? Or is every sin wrong and an abomination in God’s eyes? What does God call sin and an abomination anyway? And what does God say who will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Why does God designate certain character traits as “most important” in the law? And do you love God and neighbor when you break the spiritual law of the Ten Commandments?

“Unser geistlicher Kampf,” the sermonette presented last Sabbath in Germany by Robert Macher, is now posted. Title in English: “Our Spiritual Warfare.”

“Der Heilige Geist und Du!” the sermon presented last Sabbath in Germany by Thilo Hanstein, is now posted. Title in English: “The Holy Spirit and You.”

“Excuses,” the sermonette presented last Sabbath by Eric Rank, is now posted. Here is a summary:

If we want God to work in our lives, we have to put in the effort that He requires. When we choose to make excuses instead of taking action, we become unprofitable. By putting our faith to work we give God an opportunity to bless our efforts.

“Praise the Lord!” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Dave Harris, is now posted. Here is a summary:

Should we praise and worship God, and are there actually conditions for praising Him? The Bible reveals how and why God accepts praise from those who obey Him.

“Time to build the Third Temple in the face of Violence?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

Serious violence broke out at the Temple Mount in Jerusalem during Passover, coinciding with Easter and Ramadan, followed by an exchange of rockets between Hamas and Israel. The Jerusalem Post published an article with the headline: “When Blood Spills on Passover and Easter, it’s Time to Build the Temple.” But is this true? Has the time come to build the Third Temple? And what would the consequences be? This program raises many questions in the light of biblical prophecy.

“Relativism is Failing,” the sermonette presented by Frank Bruno on April 9^th is now posted. Here is a summary:

It is shocking how quickly the moral standards of an already corrupt world have fallen. This concept of relative morality has been embraced by so many leaders in government and the corporate world. A sliding scale of right and wrong can be convenient but will lead away from God. Those who obey God and His Son, Jesus Christ, understand that following such pronouncements will more often conflict with God’s Law. In this Sermonette we will explore several Scriptures and examples that can assist God’s people in navigating these confusing and compromised times we live in.

“The One,” the sermon presented by Dave Harris on April 9^th is now posted. Here is a summary:

The name, “Jesus Christ,” is spoken by a religious world deceived about Who He actually is, and the name of the Son of God is even blasphemed over and over as a curse word. Yet, “…there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” Do you believe and really know that Jesus is the Messiah, and that He is the Son of God?

“Die Passion Christi,” the Offertory presented last Sabbath in Germany (First Day of Unleavened Bread) by Manuel Mueller, is now posted. Title in English: “The Passion of Christ.”

“Bei Herausforderungen NICHT aufgeben,” the sermon presented last Sabbath (First Day of Unleavened Bread) by Michael Link, is now posted. Title in English: “Don’t Give Up when Faced with a Challenge!”

“Don’t Add or Take Away,” the Offertory presented last Sabbath (First Day of Unleavened Bread) by Michael Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

The Bible mentions several times that we are not to add to or take away from what is written.  What is God referring to?

“A Way of Life,” the sermon presented last Sabbath (First Day of Unleavened Bread) by Brian Gale, is now posted. Here is a summary:

The Feast of Unleavened Bread is a yearly festival that shows that we have to put sin out of our lives.   It is part of a Way of Life to which we have been called. This sermon reinforces the understanding that this Way of Life is a full-time commitment for the rest of our lives.

Germany Was Never a Pacifist Power” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

It has been recently alleged that due to the Afghanistan debacle and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Germany has given up its pacifist stance to become more engaged in military activities. But as this program shows, Germany was never a pacifist power, and Bible prophecy tells us what Germany will do very soon.  

“Papst Franziskus und der Krieg… richtig oder falsch?” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link. Title in English: “Pope Francis and War… Right or Wrong?”

We also speak on the hoax about Trump’s missing phone records and the return of Germany’s former health minister, Jens Spahn.

“Total Confusion! Spiritual Bodies in the Resurrection?” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

Hard to believe, but there is incredible confusion about the concept of the “spiritual body” which a Christian will have when he is resurrected, and even Christ’s appearance after His resurrection has been totally misunderstood. As a consequence, many do not understand what is the potential of man, and how Christians will and will not look in the Kingdom of God.

“Pope Francis and War… Right or Wrong?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

Are there no just wars, as Pope Francis claims? Are we really facing self-destruction, if we do not abolish war now, as the Pope also said? But if this is so, what are the Pope’s solutions to our problems? How does he think that peace will spread throughout the world? 

The first of this year’s Holy Days are approaching. Passover will be on April 15, 2022 (observed the previous evening), followed by the Feast of Unleavened Bread: April 16^th (annual Holy Day) through April 22nd (annual Holy Day). We will provide live services over the Internet for both Holy Days.

This program discusses Russian persecution of Protestants and other minorities; concepts of “just wars” and the “justified” killing of enemies;  the pope’s prayer to the “Virgin Mary” and the consecration of Russia and Ukraine to the “immaculate heart of Mary”; a bridge too far for Zelenskyy when speaking of the righteous Gentiles of Ukraine helping Jews in World War II; the Biden administration’s  hypocrisy in regard to Iran; Trudeau’s ongoing dictatorship which should ring alarm bells for America; the murder of abortion; and Germany’s “thought police” and march into totalitarianism.

“Choose Your Sacrifice,” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Kalon Mitchell, is now posted. Here is a summary:

Life requires sacrifices. There is no one who does not sacrifice something in this life.

The question really is what are we willing to sacrifice? What are we willing to change?

“Free Abortions in California… ‘Repent or Perish!’” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary: 

A new law in California makes it much easier for women to carry out abortions. But what about the unborn children? Do you know how many children have been aborted worldwide over the last century? What is God’s perspective on the matter? And what must we do to obtain God’s protection in these horrible times?

We will provide live services over the Internet for both Holy Days.

“Ukraine Disappointed with NATO and Europe—Comments on News and Prophecy, March 19, 2022, the first message presented last Sabbath by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

Many feel that Putin will not stop at Ukraine and that he will conquer other Western countries, but the question is whether God will allow it at this time. Germany is not too desirous of really helping Ukraine. Chancellor Olaf Scholz stands accused of behaving shamefully, while President Biden’s call with China did not seem to have accomplished much. Zelenskyy is getting more and more frustrated with NATO, the EU and Germany. His willingness to negotiate peace with Putin is remarkable. Prophecy is marching on.

“Why One Third Will Die,” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Michael Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

Have we learned anything from history through the suffering and destruction from wars and disease epidemics? The Bible prophecies that this will happen again, but in ways far more horrific than ever before.  How can we prepare ourselves NOW so we can be counted worthy to escape all these inevitable events that will come to pass?

“The Ukraine War and America’s Unreliability and Decline,” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link, Here is a summary:

How reliable is America? Do America’s allies really look at the USA as a dependable partner? Or do they think America’s leadership role is gone and they must find an alternative? And will that alternative be friendly towards the USA?

“I Don’t Feel Like It,” the sermonette presented last Sabbath by Eric Rank, is now posted. Here is a summary:

It is a natural human tendency to take the easy route when faced with challenges. Staying motivated to keep God’s commandments and love the Truth requires overcoming impulses to neglect our commitment to God.

“When Trouble Comes,” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Dave Harris, is now posted. Here is a summary:

How can we be, as Jesus said, “counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man”?

“Putin—the Devil’s Tool,” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

Many have pointed out the striking similarities between Hitler and Putin. Events did not occur accidentally in the life of Hitler, but were carefully designed by none other than Satan the Devil. The same is true today when focusing on Putin, but there is MORE! 

“Putin—Werkzeug des Teufels,” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link. This program covers the same material as presented in English.

A Tech Meeting was held on Sunday, March 6, 2022, via Google Meet. Hosted by Eric Rank, most of our time was used to prepare our new Ad Campaign.

However, we will still be able to run modified ads in selected markets which will lead viewers to our home webpage.

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

It is no surprise that we all want to be healthy, vital, and relevant in our daily lives. Most of us would also appreciate fewer wrinkles and gray hair. Nonetheless, life requires much from us. This sermonette will explore scriptures that can show us how we can make the most of this life that God has blessed us with. It will also illustrate how we can simplify with a renewed focus on obeying God. The only forever we can attain is through God’s word.

“Biden’s State of the Union Speech—God Help Us!” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

In discussing the State of the Union Address by President Biden on March 1, an editorial by the New York Post hit the nail on the head, concluding, “It was an unserious speech for deadly serious times. Lord help us.” This program discusses some of the most controversial statements by President Biden in his speech and shows why the downfall of the USA is inevitable. Indeed, may God have mercy on all of us.

A new Member Letter (March 2022) has been posted and mailed to our subscribers. Rene Messier focuses on the future which is in store for those who prove that they are obedient to God, and contrasts the struggles we face in this physical existence.

“Mass Murderer Putin—the Modern Hitler; Comments on News and Prophecy, February 26, 2022,” was presented by Norbert Link last Sabbath. Here is a summary:

While Ukraine under Volodymyr Zelensky is fighting for its survival against mad mass murderer Vladimir Putin, the world stands idly by—which is reminiscent of the world’s conduct in 1939. In fact, the similarities between Hitler and Putin are remarkable, and we should not think for a moment that Putin will be satisfied with conquering Ukraine. He may even attack NATO members to restore the old Soviet Republic. Zelensky has become a national hero, while Western leaders like Joe Biden, Olaf Scholz, Emmanuel Macron or Boris Johnson have failed miserably. Putin is totally unpredictable because the same spiritual force possesses him which controlled and used Hitler. America will have to remember its betrayal of Ukraine, because when the USA is being attacked in the future, no one will help it either.

“Envy—A Deadly Cancer,” the sermonette presented last Sabbath by Paul Niehoff, is now posted. Here is a summary:

Envy is a human characteristic which can very easily lead to bitterness and hatred. There are examples in the Bible where it leads to murder or attempted murder. It can be overcome by desiring good for others and being content with what you have.

“God’s Wrath,” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Rene Messier, is now posted. Here is a summary:

This sermon discusses curses and plagues mankind is going to go through from now until the return of Christ, and how we can be prepared for the coming events of the near future.
