Rubies as gemstones have been prized by kings and craftsmen for many years. Various Scriptures place value on qualities such as wisdom and integrity above that of these gemstones. As true Christians, we will consider how we can be refined by our faith in the Father and Jesus Christ, as rubies are refined by heat and pressure.

“Do We Really Need to Keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread?” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Brian Gale, is now posted. Here is the summary:

The annual festivals pictured events of historic importance to ancient Israel, and today to the true Christian. Recall that when God revealed His weekly Sabbath to the Israelites, it was a sign and a memorial so they would remember that He is the Creator and that they were His people.  And God also gave them the annual festivals for His Church showing the plan of God in eventually delivering the entire world from sin.

“Generosity,” the Offertory presented on the First Day of Unleavened Bread by Eric Rank, is now posted. Here is the summary:

The Feast of Unleavened Bread is a commanded Holy Day when God instructs His people to appear with an offering. The offering we give reflects our gratitude and love for God. As we give, we should consider what it reveals about our heart. When done well, our act of giving will delight God and bring us joy as well. Giving from the abundance of our heart pleases God tremendously.

“The Catastrophe of SIN,” the sermon presented on the First Day of Unleavened Bread by Dave Harris, is now posted. Here is the summary:

We hear warnings about nuclear war in which it is possible to decimate the population of cities, nations and even this planet. Yet, an even more deadly action is sin, because it always incurs the death penalty. How can mankind escape this tragic end!

“The Glory of God in Our Time,” is the title of a new StandingWatch program presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

God’s glory is revealed in the creation of the magnificent universe. AND, in His prophecies for our time—even in connection with developments which we might not even think of. This program evaluates both mind-boggling aspects.

“Die Herrlichkeit Gottes in unserer Zeit,” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program presented by Norbert Link. This program covers the same subject as described above.

Michael and Anna Link have travelled to Germany in preparation for observing the Passover and Days of Unleavened Bread with the brethren.

A Tech Team Meeting was held on April 6, 2025. Hosted by Eric Rank, we reviewed our ad campaigns that we’ve been running, with focus on the new campaign we started in Germany last month. We also took some time to talk about our live broadcasts (we’ve had some static noise problems in CO) and last but not least, we discussed arrangements for our Passover services.

“The Promises of God,” last Sabbath’s sermonette presented by Kalon Mitchell, is now posted.

“What Christ’s Blood Achieves,” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is the summary:

How is the shed blood of Christ fundamentally different from the blood of animal sacrifices in the Old Testament? What was the purpose of animal sacrifices and the blood of the Passover lamb? How was all of this misunderstood by Israel? Can we, by consuming wine as a symbol of Christ’s blood, make the same mistake? This sermon will show that Christ’s shed blood is necessary for our salvation and why it is so precious and priceless.

“The Days of Unleavened Bread” is the latest video in our Bible Study Series on YouTube.

“Trump’s Tariffs Set the World on Fire,” is the title of the newest StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

Even before April 2, drastic tariffs had been imposed by Trump on certain nations. On “Liberation Day,” these tariffs were largely increased for virtually ALL countries. What have been the reactions so far, and what might the consequences be? Most importantly, what does God tell us in His Word, the Holy Bible?

“Trumps Zölle setzen die Welt in Brand,” is the title of the newest AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link. This German program covers the same topic as described above.

“USA vs. EU… Wars Begin With Words!” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

Voices in Europe are describing the USA as their enemy. The USA describes the EU as “freeloaders” which has harmed and abused America. We are discussing the Chat Group fiasco; immigration and punitive tariffs, without taking ANY position as to who may be right or wrong, while showing that wars begin indeed with words.

“USA gegen EU… Kriege beginnen mit Worten!” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link. This German program covers the same topic as described above.

“Trump’s Problems with Immigration and Tariffs — Comments on News and Prophecy, March 29, 2025,” the first message presented last Sabbath by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is the summary:

In light of most recent developments in the USA, foreign tourists, as well as legal temporary or permanent residents (“Green card holders”), are concerned as never before. Also, why is the application of the Alien Enemies Act (AEA) of 1978 extremely problematic? Will Trump’s tariffs, together with his warnings for American automakers, damage the economy? In other news, we discuss J.D. Vance’s visit to Greenland; the dictatorship of Turkey’s PM Erdogan; Putin’s unacceptable demands; and LA Mayor Bass’s failure to issue building permits to fire victims, contrary to what she has promised.

“The Coming False Prophet,” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is the summary:

The false prophet who will perform lying signs and wonders! Who will be possessed! Who will stand in the temple of God and claim to be God! Who will lead a large religious organization! Who is this person, and with what other name is he designated in the Bible? What organization will he lead, and how is it described in the Bible? What is the abomination of desolation, and what other abominations will there be in Jerusalem?

“Will Trump and Putin End the Russia-Ukraine War?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

Will Putin agree to a ceasefire and perhaps even to the end of the war between Russia and Ukraine? Many doubt this. Still, the end of that war will come, but not now; not in ways most expect or anticipate; and not due to “negotiations” between Trump and Putin. What does this all mean for YOU? What does GOD tell us about war in general, and this war in particular?

“Werden Trump und Putin den Russland-Ukraine Krieg beenden?” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link. This German program covers the same topic as described above.

“Noah and the Flood” is the latest video published in our Bible Stories series on YouTube.

“Red Tape,” last Sabbath’s sermonette presented by Frank Bruno, is now posted. Here is the summary:

We’ve all had our experiences with bureaucracy at various levels of both government and the private sector. Whether one is attempting to get a permit to renovate one’s home or trying to deal with the family automobile insurance or one’s health insurance. In this Sermonette we will consider various scriptures that will illustrate that as true Christians we must strengthen, and lean into our relationship with God the Father to keep our spiritual home in order. All else pales in comparison.

“God Is Our Refuge,” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Dave Harris, is now posted. Here is the summary:

Finding true refuge is an illusive dream for many downtrodden people. However, that opportunity is available for those whom God has and will call to be a part of His eternal Family. Can we say that God is also our refuge?

“Politicians Demand What We Have Told You For Decades!” is the title of a new StandingWatch program presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

In this program, we describe a frightening development that we’ve been predicting for a long time. Until recently, most people weren’t willing to believe that something like this was possible, but today, for some, things are looking different.

“Politiker fordern, was wir Ihnen seit Jahrzehnten gesagt haben!” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program presented by Norbert Link. This German program covers the same subjects as described above.

Is our Christianity a lazy or diligent one? Is there something we should be doing, or are we to just have faith and wait for what comes next?

“Why Do You Believe?” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Eric Rank, is now posted. Here is the summary:

For those whom God calls in this age, He calls them uniquely. At the point of conversion, each one of us confirms our beliefs that set the direction for the rest of our lives. The reasons why we believe in the promise of God must be strong enough to guide us through our life’s journey. Are we working hard enough to strengthen our beliefs to lead us into salvation?

“In All Honesty,” last Sabbath’s sermonette presented by Michael Link, is now posted. Here is the summary:

The term “in all honesty” is frequently used to emphasize truthfulness and sincerity in an attempt to soften the impact by diminishing the harshness and not trying to be malicious. However, we shouldn’t use this term loosely; we should be honest at all times. There is also a fine line between an honest mistake and a blatant mistake, and when we do make a mistake, how can we rectify it?

“Europe’s Corrupt Economic System,” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is the summary:

In the book of Revelation, ungodly modern Babylon is described not only as a European political, military and religious system, but also as an economic power. Other passages in the Old Testament give us further information about this worldwide economic system in which true Christians must have no part.

“Is Germany Now on the Brink of Change?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

With Friedrich Merz’s election victory, will there be a new sheriff in Berlin? It is assumed that he will become the new Chancellor, and coalition negotiations with the defeated left-leaning SPD are underway; because he currently does not want to enter into a coalition with the right-wing AfD. But what might happen in the future? And who is Merz anyway? What does he stand for, and what is his past?

“Steht Deutschland jetzt vor der Wende?” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program presented by Norbert Link. This German program covers the same topic as described above.

“Cain and Abel – The First Murder” is the latest video published in our Bible Stories series on YouTube.

“Angst und Gier,” last Sabbath’s first split German sermon presented by Andreas Raetz, is now posted. Title in English: “Fear and Greed.”

“Wandeln mit Gott,” last Sabbath’s second split German sermon presented by Daniel Blasinger, is now posted. Title in English: “Walking with God.”

“With Raised Hands,” last Sabbath’s sermonette presented by Kalon Mitchell, is now posted. Here is the summary:

What can we learn from an event found in the Old Testament? The Bible includes stories so that we can think about them and use them for edification.

“Europe in Biblical Prophecy,” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is the summary:

Many do not understand that, according to the Bible, the ancient Roman Empire would be revived ten times in Europe, and that the last seven resurrections would be a collaboration between the Catholic Church and the European Empire. All of these revivals have already taken place…except for the last one, which is unfolding before our eyes today and will culminate in the Great Tribulation and the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. This sermon examines the European resurrections of the ancient Roman Empire in history, including the blasphemous mark of the beast and the demonic nature of the European revivals.

“America and Europe at Loggerheads,” is the title of a new StandingWatch program presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

JD Vance’s “glorious” speech during the Security Conference in Munich about some terrible conditions has angered many German and European politicians. He showed them a mirror, but they were unwilling to look into it. The alienation between the USA and Europe deepened when Trump called Putin and when the Americans and Russians met in Saudi Arabia, but without the Europeans and Zelensky. It reached a boiling point when Trump accused Ukraine of having started the war with Russia. The writing is on the wall. Can you read it?

“Amerika und Europa auf Kriegsfuß,” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program presented by Norbert Link. This German program covers the same subject as described above.

“Überwinden Sie Ihre Lust, Begierde und Trieb,” last Sabbath’s German sermonette by Dmitrij Niemann, is now posted. Title in English: “Overcome Your Lust, Desire and Urges.”

”A Few Random Thoughts on the Stupidity of Evolution,” last Sabbath’s sermonette presented by Brian Gale, is now posted. Here is the summary:

It is a worthwhile exercise from time to time to review this theory which many just accept without much thought at all.   The Bible states that God spoke and it was done – that is something that only a supernatural being could achieve, not mere mortal men – and even less by blind chance!

“The Commandments and the Sabbath of the Most High God,” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Rene Messier, is now posted. Here is the summary:

Faithfully keeping the commandments and the Sabbath, including the annual Sabbaths, helps to cement our relationship with God and to stay engaged in the completion of the Work  we have to do prior to the tribulation and return of Jesus Christ.

“Trump’s Plans with Gaza—What Does the Bible Say?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

Trump announced that he wants the USA to take and own Gaza, demolish it completely, and rebuild and create a prosperous place.  But how realistic are those plans? What does the Bible say about Gaza’s future… and the future of America?

“Trumps Pläne mit Gaza – Was sagt die Bibel?” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link

“König David, und die Lahmen und die Blinden,” last Sabbath’s German sermonette presented by Jens Herrmann, is now posted. Title in English: “King David, and the Lame and the Blind.”

“Going on to Perfection,” last Sabbath’s sermonette presented by Paul Niehoff, is now posted. Here is the summary:

We normally think of perfection as being without any flaws, and with no sin whatsoever. However, the Greek word translated perfection can also mean finalising a requirement or task or completing an assignment. In other words, fulfilling what God requires of us in being a part of His Church. Each member may have a different assignment but we must all carry these out to be pleasing to God.

“What the Bible Says About the Beast,” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is the summary:

The “beast” is described in a variety of ways in the Bible. It can refer to the past and future military power, to the end-time leader, and to the past and future religious power and its representative. How is the coming end-time leader described and what are his character traits? What are the little horns in Daniel 7 and 8, the mark and image of the beast, his mortal wound and his number; and what are the 10 horns? Is their meaning always the same?
