“Why Are They Lying to Us About War and Peace?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

We are bombarded right now with messages of peace. But the sad truth is, they don’t know what they are talking about. The way to peace they don’t know. Rather, they tell us lies to justify our alleged need for more weapons and a bigger army. Or they lie when they say that one cannot govern a country by following Christ’s teachings in the Sermon on the Mount. 

How then will there be peace on earth?

In the business world when an employee voluntarily leaves an organization an exit interview is often scheduled in order to learn and improve the organization and the employee.

In this sermonette we will consider several scriptures that can help us become and remain more prepared for this.

“Every Thought,” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Dave Harris, is now posted. Here is the summary:

Christianity is a Way of living, and it involves “spiritual” thinking and acting as Jesus Christ instructs. This stands in total contrast to “carnal” thinking and acting, a way which ends in death.

“The War Between America and Europe Has Begun,” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

Really? How can we say this? Well, when you listen to this program until the end, you will know what we mean. And you will agree with us. We are addressing the new American National Security Strategy; Europe’s $140 million fine against Elon Musk and his platform X, and President Trump’s interview with Politico. The condemnatory accusations on both sides of the Atlantic are telling and unparalleled since the end of World War II.

“Do the Opposite,” last Sabbath’s first split sermon presented by Michael Link, is now posted. Here is the summary:

Because of ignorance and uncertainty, thinking that “the law” has been done away with, we have what we have today: people doing as they please, keeping holidays which are not from God, abusing their bodies in ways which are shameful in God’s eyes, giving in to sin and deceit, and forsaking God’s specific commands on how to live a Godly life. What does the Bible actually say when it comes to “the law” and in what way are we to do the opposite from what the world in general justifies in their own eyes?

“An Ode to 40,” last Sabbath’s second split sermon presented by Kalon Mitchell, is now posted. Here is the summary:

As I turn 40, I want to reflect on seeing God’s hand in my life while also connecting this personal milestone to the Bible’s repeated use of the number 40 as a symbol of testing, judgment, purification, and new beginnings—from Noah’s flood and Moses’ fasts to Israel’s wandering, Elijah’s journey, and Christ’s temptations and post-resurrection ministry. These “forty” periods always lead to renewal, covenant, and deeper relationship with God. Listeners of any age should view their own trials as God-given opportunities for spiritual growth, transformation, and preparation for His Kingdom.

Trump’s and Putin’s original “peace plan” for ending the Russia-Ukrainian war has alarmed and angered the EU. They feel betrayed and are deeply suspicious of the underlying motives. As a result, they consider the “nuclear option,” which would have devastating consequences for America’s economy.

The Bible tells us that America’s decline is inevitable. It is far from over! In fact, the signs indicate that the downfall, which has begun, is irreversible. At the same time, a great power in Europe is rising, which is also explained in God’s Word. In this message, many examples will be given which prove the accuracy of these prophecies.

“Do We Overlook Important Lessons in the Book of Job?,” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is the summary:

The Book of Job is a multifaceted book that is as relevant today as ever. How do we react when we suffer seemingly “without cause”? Do we feel that God is acting unjustly toward us? Do we become entangled in contradictions and, because of our suffering, forget important insights? How do we “comfort” and “teach” someone else who is suffering? Are we sure that our assessment of the situation also applies to that person? Are we truly helping, or are we merely “miserable comforters”? How does God give us answers? What is the true meaning of the Book of Job? And what other inspired truths does it contain for us?

“Killing of Fishermen—Must Illegal Orders Be Obeyed?” a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is the summary:

Six Democratic lawmakers urged service members to defy illegal orders. President Trump called them traitors and described their conduct as seditious behavior at the highest level, advocating their arrest and death. Whether or not they had the killing of fishermen on the high seas in mind, who allegedly tried to smuggle dangerous and deadly drugs into the United States, are these killings legal?

“Is the Second Commandment Needed?” last Sabbath’s sermonette presented by Paul Niehoff, is now posted. Here is the summary:

When we read the Ten Commandments, it would appear that the first commandment would make the second commandment unnecessary. However, God knows the nature of men and their tendency toward idolatry, and therefore included the second commandment because of this tendency.

What does the Saudi Crown Prince’s meeting with Donald Trump have to do with George Washington’s haunting vision, and what did that vision say, exactly?  And what does a remarkable end-time prophecy in Psalm 83 regarding Israel have to do with the last revival of the ancient Roman Empire under German military leadership?

God designed the spirit of humanity to have free will, giving us the ability to choose our own aspirations in life. Inherently, this freedom incurs the burden of making mistakes along the way and learning from them. God also works in our lives, directing our steps when we are open to following His paths.

“The Warning,” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Dave Harris, is now posted. Here is the summary:

From the very beginning, God has warned mankind concerning how to do what is right and not to do what is wrong. When we are confronted with choices—both small and great—do we choose to listen to God, and do we pay attention to His warnings?

“Is God Fair?” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Eric Rank, is now posted. Here is the summary:

Since God does not let anything happen against His will, how can we make sense of bad things happening to good people, and good things happening to bad people? Is God fair?

“From Darkness…” last Sabbath’s first split sermon presented by Kalon Mitchell, is now posted. Here is the summary:

The Bible often uses darkness as the opposite of God’s light—a symbol of sin, blindness, and deception. From worldly celebrations like Halloween to the spiritual dimming of our culture, Satan disguises evil as harmless fun to draw people further from God.

In a world ruled by Satan, how are we to remove ourselves from the darkness that surrounds us and into the light, following the example of Jesus Christ?

“Germany Continues to Embrace Dictatorship” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:  

This program discusses an alarming example of dictatorial conduct in Germany, and it is by no means an isolated incident. It is becoming increasingly dangerous to even report and comment on those occurrences, as we do in this broadcast. Germany’s descent into a dictatorship reminiscent of Russia, the Third Reich or the GDR is unmistakable.

“Trump in the Light of Biblical Prophecy,” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

The Trump peace deal with Hamas will fail. A potential Trump peace deal between Russia and Ukraine will be doomed. ICE misconduct tears the nation apart.

Still, there is one thing which Trump could successfully accomplish, in the light of biblical prophecy,  and it is that one matter which he should concentrate on.
