“Europe’s Revival and French Hostility Towards America—Comments on News and Prophecy, May 13, 2023,” the first message presented last Sabbath by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

What can we glean from the coronation of King Charles III, including the stone of destine; the veneration of the cross; and the role of the Catholic Church? What lessons can we draw from the burning of books in Nazi Germany in 1933? Why did the Prime Minister of Hungary compare the EU’s European unification project with Adolf Hitler’s plans for rule? Why does it appear that the French-American relations have become hostile again? And what is to be said about existing or coming conscription in Russia, Ukraine and the USA to get soldiers to serve, kill and die for their country?

“God’s Call for Repentant Change,” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

Why is it necessary to repent, turn around, change our way of thinking and become a totally new creation? True repentance, in leaving behind our “dead works,” is oftentimes not that easy.  To admit that one has done wrong or has been wrong, can be terribly difficult. The same is true when we are called upon to admit that we are not as righteous as we had thought to be. But God commands us to repent and to return to Him; to reject the broad way of the world, leading to condemnation and death; and to choose and walk instead the small and narrow way, leading to eternal life.

“Is Europe REALLY Supporting Ukraine?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

Even though many think that Ukraine will win the war with the support of its American and European allies, the Bible does not confirm this conclusion. Reports about the current war situation are inconsistent, and Europe’s financial and military support of Ukraine is far inferior to that of the USA. Germany in particular is still trying to appease Russia. Europe’s recent ban on Ukrainian grain and its efforts to become a centralized, militarized EU Superstate are more than telling as to Europe’s true goals.

“Should Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Be Censored?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

Some networks are trying to censor Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., allegedly due to his controversial views, but this could backfire. And what about censorship in general?

“Will Russia Win Against Ukraine?” is the title of our recent StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

There are more and more signs that Ukraine’s supporters in the West are not that anxious anymore to help Ukraine by delivering weapons and money. And without that help, Ukraine cannot survive and win against Russia. Does the Bible indicate as to what will happen ultimately? In this program, we focus on the true feelings of many Western Europeans, and especially Germans, towards Ukraine.

If everyone on earth kept just one of God’s Ten Commandments, the whole world would be so very much better for doing that and what a difference it would make.   But when Jesus Christ sets up the Kingdom of God on earth, all 10 of the Commandments will be kept and the world will be a completely different place – and so much better for it!

”The False Prophet in the Holy Land,” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

The world is again looking at the Holy Land and the ongoing violence there, while the Islamic world is asked to unite against Israel. The Catholic Church is accusing Netanyahu’s “far-right government” of “emboldening” extremists to attack Christians. Also, six Christian denominations are fighting for control of their faith’s holy sites. All of this, and much more, will lead to the occupation of the Holy Land by the “false prophet” with support of the “beast.”

“When NO Can Be Good,” the sermonette presented last Sabbath by Brian Gale, is now posted. Here is a summary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksjsZOMHI6k

This message looks at the time when the word no can actually be positive, rather than negative.  Applying this approach to certain passages in the Book of Revelation we see that the word “no” can be very exciting.

“Could You Fall Away From God?” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is a summary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RG1KxbkgiZ0

You must not think that it is impossible for you to depart and fall away from God and return to the filth of the world, after you have come to know God and His Truth. The Bible contains many warnings, as well as explanations of why people fall away and how to prevent it. And it also calls for repentance and a change of heart when we are about to fall away.

If Donald Trump were ever convicted and imprisoned, could he still run for the Presidency; could he be elected; and could he still operate as President from prison? If Vladimir Putin was ever arrested in a foreign country, such as Germany or Austria, due to the arrest warrant of the International Criminal Court, what did Russia say it would do to those countries?

God is willing to reveal His knowledge to you which is opposed to the so-called wisdom of this world, but are you willing to reject this world’s silly philosophies and rather accept and act upon the knowledge of God? And how careful are you not to lose the understanding which God has given to you, while at the same time growing and increasing in His knowledge?

“Catholic Church in Turmoil,” the newest StandingWatch program and presented by Evangelist Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

Many are concerned that the German Catholic Church will split from Rome. The German bishops are determined to pursue certain “reforms” regardless of what the Vatican says. Others in the Catholic Church are worried that pagan practices and customs are invited into the Church. What could this all mean?

“What Does The Biggest Bank Failure Since The Great Recession Mean To You?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

Suddenly, American banks are collapsing or are in great danger. Some constitute the biggest failure since the Great Recession in 2008 and the second and third largest bank failure in U.S. history.  European banks are affected too. Some speak of a coming recession, if not depression, more powerful than that of 1929. Does this mean that we must live in constant fear of financial ruin and disaster, or can we have trust in God that He will protect and take care of us, if we do our part?

“Auszeit vor Gott—legitim oder riskant?” the sermon presented last Sabbath in Germany by Thilo Hanstein, is now posted. Title in English: “Time Out Before God, Legitimate or Risky?”

There are many kinds of deals that are made for various reasons.

“When the Going Gets Tough – The Tough Get Going,” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Kalon Mitchell, is now posted. Here is a summary:

In the coming weeks, months and years we are going to be challenged on multiple fronts. The Bible’s warnings about a Christian’s life are stark. How do we plan on getting through these times? How are we going to react? We are going to have to be tough in ways that we may not be currently prepared for. What can we do to prepare now?

“How Can You Be More Successful?” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

Are you successful in life—or are you failing? Are you on your way to true success—or, are you about to give up? We were not created to be a failure. We were meant to be truly successful. But true success does not happen by accident, circumstance or coincidence. True success must be achieved. There are certain principles—one might say, laws—which we must apply and follow in order to become truly successful. What are seven physical and spiritual laws of success?
