“How Concerned Must America Be About His President?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

When a leader of a powerful country shows disturbing signs of mental and spiritual instability… and when this leader has the sole and discretionary power to “push the nuclear button,” there should be great cause for alarm. We will show in this program examples of outrageous, appalling and blasphemous conduct, seemingly inspired, in part, by demonic forces,  and offer the only solution for this country and the world.

“Wie besorgt muss Amerika um seinen Präsidenten sein?“ is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link. This German program covers the same topics as described above.

Kalon Mitchell’s offertory has been posted, titled, “Hold Fast Until the Trumpet Sounds.” 

Here is a summary:

As we prepare our offering for this Feast of Trumpets, what are we doing daily that makes a difference as we continue to prepare for the return of Christ? This message looks at Philadelphia’s example of little strength, but still faithful and asks whether that’s true of us right now, not just something that happened to a church long ago.

Norbert Link’s sermon has been posted, titled, “The Feast of Trumpets—Why a Day of Joy?” 

Here is a summary:

Yes, why—given that the Feast of Trumpets encompasses not only joyful events but also terrible ones? This sermon explores the many reasons why ALL the events symbolized by the Feast of Trumpets are a cause for rejoicing for us… and what our responsibility is—as watchmen appointed by God—to proclaim to others the good news like the blast of a trumpet, even when most people do not want to hear it.

“How AI Could Destroy Us All” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link.

Here is the summary: 

Most are not aware of the incredible demonic influence and catastrophic abilities which AI already possesses. This program goes into many details and will shock you. We are dealing with a power beyond human control… which could wipe all of us out.

Daniel Blasinger’s sermonette has been posted, titled, “Blameless.” 

Here is a summary:

When Michelangelo sculpted David, he could already see the finished masterpiece in his mind’s eye, even though he still had only a rough block of marble before him. And in exactly the same way, God already sees us today in the perfection we will attain if we remain faithful to His path until the end. He sees us just as a loving father sees his children, and we can and must make His perspective our own.

Norbert Link’s sermon has been posted, titled, “Waiting for God.” 

Here is a summary:

Sometimes it may seem as though God does not hear our prayers or is unwilling to answer them. This is especially true in cases where people have been ill or facing other problems for a long time, yet—despite initial prayers—no healing or change has occurred. Some people slowly but surely resign themselves to their condition and circumstances; they come to believe that this is their fate and that God simply will not heal them or alter their situation in this day and age. This dangerous misconception can deprive us of God’s blessings.

“Trump’s Oil Deal with Venezuela—Another Fiasco” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

Trump called it the biggest oil deal in world history which will lower gas prices for Americans. But will it.. ever? Why is the deal drawing criticism from all sides of the national and international political spectrum; and what was and is the White House anxious to conceal in regard to the deal? 

“Trumps Öl-Abkommen mit Venezuela – ein weiteres Fiasko” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link. This German program covers the same topics as described above.

Daniel Blasinger’s first split sermon has been posted, titled, “Laodicea 2.0.” 

Here is a summary:

Christ’s message to the seven churches is of timeless significance. It is particularly important to recognize that the church at Laodicea mirrors the final era of the church—the era in which Christ will return and in which we live today. From this, we can see where we need to examine ourselves. For it is up to us to ensure that Christ does not have to knock at our door to gain entry.

Eric Rank’s second split sermon has been posted, titled “Foundation of Values.” 

Here is a summary:

God created everyone with a unique spirit and personality. This means that everyone has their own personal system of values according to their own individual character. What matters to one person may be trivial to another. From the foundation of values, we all make decisions and choose what to do in our lives, which bears fruit that reflects our character. Therefore, it is important for us to carefully inspect our own values to ensure that they express a love for the Truth of God.

“America’s Foolish Trade War With Canada” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

America has begun a trade war with Canada which America might lose, as it has lost almost all wars or controversies in recent times.  Trump’s threats pertaining to Canada—and also to other countries—should not be ignored. And while old allies turn away from America and look for new alliances, America is becoming more and more isolated.

“Amerikas törichter Handelskrieg mit Kanada” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link. This German program covers the same topics as described above.

A new member letter has been written. https://www.eternalgod.org/letter-to-the-brethren-august-28-2026/ It has been posted and sent out. In his letter, Paul Niehoff contrasts the evil in this world with our future, when Christ comes back and establishes the Kingdom of God here on earth.

We are pleased to announce the wedding of Steven Hammond and Natalia Lis, which was conducted in Spain by Pastor Michael Link on Sunday, August 23, 2026. Congratulations.

The Rank family hosted a memorial service for David Harris on August 16, 2026. It was attended by friends and family. We appreciate all of the support and prayers during the last few months.

Paul Niehoff’s first split sermon has been posted, titled, “Fruit of the Spirit: Peace.” 

Here is a summary:

Peace is a subject mentioned over two hundred times in the Bible. God’s Son is even named the “Prince of Peace” in Isaiah 9:6. God gives us instructions on how to achieve peace, and the practices we should avoid that will prevent us from achieving peace.

Norbert Link’s second split sermon has been posted, titled, “Christ In Us—What Does This Mean?” 

Here is a summary:

How, and from what point in time, can Christ live within us? And what does this mean in practical terms? How can we examine ourselves to see if Christ is truly in us? This split sermon explores clear biblical statements that reveal whether Christ lives within us—or not. It also shows that one does not and cannot walk God’s Way unless Christ lives and works within that person.

Robert Macher’s German sermonette from last Sabbath has been posted. It is titled, “Der Weg zurück in die Gemeinde“ (“The Way Back to the Church”).

“Will Putin Attack NATO?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. 

Here is the summary:

As with Putin’s back against the wall, many are afraid of such an action. And the fears extend beyond just one city in a neighboring NATO country… they are much more comprehensive. Mass murderer and war criminal Putin has uttered such threats for a long time. Then there is dictatorial China which might work with Russia to launch a coordinated simultaneous attack on opposite sides of the planet. What would Trump do? Would he want to get involved in a three-front war? Trump’s back is against the wall too, and his frustrations, irrational illusions, violent threats and aggressive actions are increasingly spiraling out of control. What does Bible prophecy tell us?

“Wird Putin die NATO angreifen?” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link. This German program covers the same topics as described above.

Frank Bruno’s sermonette has been posted, titled, “Atomic August.” 

Here is a summary:

On August 6, and August 9, 1945, the US dropped atomic bombs on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. While political and military pundits around the world have opinions as to the reasons and the responsibility for the bombings, true Christians understand that we must never justify the savagery that preceded the attacks, nor the acts themselves. In this Sermonette we will consider various scriptures that make clear how God sees such actions.

Eric Rank’s sermon has been posted, titled, “Give Your Concerns to God.” 

Here is a summary:

God is in control, and for that we can be relieved. Our circumstances and the outcomes in our lives are a result of His will for us. When we have problems or concerns that weigh us down, we can be reassured that we have God on our side. He loves us and will work things out for our best interest, even if we might not understand what He is doing. By trusting in this process designed by God, we can release the burden of worry and concern, giving it all to God to carry the load.

“No Peace for Israel” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

What did Jesus say about the fate of Jerusalem, and what does the Bible prophesy for the end time? In this program, we will show you many indications that Jerusalem’s desolation is near, and that Israel will never enjoy peace and friendship with Arab nations; instead, the exact opposite is prophesied.

“Kein Friede für Israel” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link. This German program covers the same topics as described above.

Norbert Link’s sermonette has been posted, titled, “Israel to Take Over Al-Aqsa?—Comments on News and Prophecy, August 8, 2026.” 

 Here is a summary:

Some reports point out that Russia is preparing an impending attack on NATO. We also quote from an insightful article dealing with July 20, 1944—the assassination attempt on Hitler—and the duty of soldiers to refuse unlawful orders. We report on Trump’s renewed efforts to fight birthright citizenship; and we warn of the mostly unrealized dangers of AI. We address America’s desperate attempts to have Iran open the Strait of Hormuz; and speak of an alleged imminent threat of an Israeli takeover of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Kalon Mitchell’s sermon has been posted, titled, “The Weight of God’s Glory.”  

Here is a summary:

This message explores what the Bible actually means by “the glory of God,” tracing the shift from kavod (weight, substance) in the Old Testament to doxa (glory made visible) in the New Testament. It considers how a person’s life gets tested over time, the way a foundation and building materials are tested by storm and fire. It closes by contrasting those who took credit for what God did with those who redirected glory back to Him.

A new Bible Stories video has been posted, titled, “Moses’ Calling.”

“USA Dangerously Short on Essential Missiles” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

According to several reports, the Army has used virtually all of its inventories of its necessary missiles, complicating the military’s ability to respond to future crises and adversarial attacks. In addition, it is claimed that the USA must fundamentally and speedily redesign its weapons.  President Trump reacted angrily, denying these and similar  reports, and threatened the “leakers” with jail. Obviously, something isn’t adding up here.

“Amerikas gefährlicher Mangel an notwendigen Raketen” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link. This German program covers the same topics as described above.

Norbert Link’s sermonette has been posted, titled, “Dubious White House Announcements—Comments on News and Prophecy, August 1, 2026” 

Here is a summary:

Several spectacular announcements by the White House sounded great at first sight, but did not pass muster on closer examination. This is especially true for an alleged America-Saudi-Arabia nuclear deal and the “great breakthrough” of “bringing peace to Gaza” by disarming Hamas. In other news, we discuss the Holy See’s support for Anthony Fauci; shocking allegations of Israel’s Finance Minister and incredible announcements of the Sanhedrin; America’s unclear position on the Ukrainian production of Patriot anti-missile interceptor factories; and the collapse of FIFA’s ill-advised plan to have Joshua Kushner sell a piece of FIFA’s business enterprise to outside investors.

Norbert Link’s sermon has been posted, titled, “What Christianity Does Not Know About the Holy Spirit.” 

Here is a summary:

Why doesn’t the world know the Truth about the Holy Spirit? What is the Holy Spirit? Did the Holy Spirit dwell in people of the Old Testament? What about Christians in the New Testament? Can one have and keep the Holy Spirit when sinning—even committing serious sins? What are the essential prerequisites for receiving the Holy Spirit? And how can we lose the Holy Spirit?

“Fauci’s Responsibility… But Many Others Are Guilty Too!” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary: 

Anthony Fauci was questioned this week about Corona, but refused to give answers. However, he was not the only one who was greatly responsible for the terrible restrictions imposed on the people during that time—and the push by both administrations for measures which were questionable at best. But the corona hysteria is not over yet, because it is big business for Pharma. And so are many other “methods” when it comes to “treatment” of sicknesses. What is lacking in this country is faith in God’s mighty power and His justice.

“Faucis Verantwortung… doch auch viele andere sind schuldig!” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link. This German program covers the same topics as described above.

Kalon Mitchell’s sermonette has been posted, titled, “How Much Fruit Are You Bearing?” 

Here is a summary:

Spiritual growth can feel vague and hard to track. This sermonette examines what Christ teaches about pruning and bearing fruit in John 15, and asks whether our own growth is something we can actually see and measure, week by week.

Michael Link’s sermon has been posted, titled, “Forging Ahead.” 

Here is a summary:

By using the analogy of chess and focusing on the pawn, we can see throughout the Bible how God chose “regular common” individuals to fulfill His purpose. At first glance, the pawn is considered the weakest piece, and it is only able to move forward; however, its significance increases as it reaches the other side of the chessboard, becoming more valuable by reaching its full potential. Just like us, we have a similar goal in life as we move forward, learning from mistakes along the way, so we can ultimately reach our goal of eternal life.

“The Downfall of Germany’s Most Powerful Politician”

is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

Jens Spahn resigned, or was forced to do so, due to a scandal which was described as proof for his hypocrisy and arrogance. But would it be premature to rule him out for a vital role in the future? After all, deadly wounds can be healed. Some aspects of his character and personality are worthwhile considering in light of what the Bible says about the coming “beast” in Europe. This program explains in detail what to watch for.

A German AufPostenStehen program was posted with the same topic. The title is: “Jens Spahn—der Fall von Deutschlands mächtigstem Politiker.”

Frank Bruno’s sermonette has been posted, titled, “Our Spiritual Continuing Education.” 

Here is a summary:

As humans we continue to learn new information each day—some more than others, but the point is that there is always new information we can consume and utilize. As true Christians who have been called by the Father we should be eager to learn and be guided by God and by Jesus Christ in matters of our faith. There is nothing more important in our lives than preparing ourselves and serving God and His Son. In this Sermonette we will cover various scriptures that can assist us along the way.

Eric Rank’s sermon has been posted, titled, “Hard Things.” 

Here is a summary:

The life of a Christian is definitively not for the faint of heart. It requires overcoming obstacles, dealing with difficult circumstances, and resisting temptations every single day. To be Christian is to become comfortable doing hard things. Through the examples in the Bible we will learn about those who have gone before us, having faced difficulty, and overcome. We will also learn why it is so important to actively choose to do the difficult things that God directs us to do, because the reward that comes from doing them is great.

Here is a summary:

Gentleness or kindness is an important part of the fruit of the Spirit. It is mentioned a number of times in the epistles of the apostle Paul and elsewhere, and shows us one aspect of character that we need to apply in our relationships with both Church members and others we come across in our daily lives.

Rene Messier’s second split sermon from last Sabbath has been posted. It is titled, “Enduring to the End.” 

Here is a summary:

In this sermon, we are looking at how the Church of God was persecuted throughout its history and emphasize the importance of enduring to the end by remaining close to God.
