“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. So is Trump’s alleged desire to stay in power after his second term. 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.

“Trump im Licht der biblischen Prophezeiung,” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link. This German program covers the same topics as described above.

“Our War-Torn World—Will It Ever Change?” is the title of our newest StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

This world is preparing for war. Mandatory military service for European women; European nuclear weapons against Israel; Russia’s invasion of NATO airspace; Zapad drills and Eastern Sentry operations; Trump’s “change of heart” and a scenario how war between Russia and NATO could break out, while forsaken Taiwan is being occupied by China. And still, God prophecies for us a bright and peaceful future.

“AI—Angel of Light or Prince of Darkness?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

Should you be concerned about AI? Do you know how your child deals with it? Why are ministers of religion naïve—to put it mildly—when they support religious smartphone apps as a “critical tool for those trying to find God.” But whom may they find? Are you aware how chatbots work—and why they could clearly be very dangerous?

“KI—Engel des Lichts oder Fürst der Finsternis?” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program presented by Norbert Link. This German program covers the same topics as described above.”

In this program: Mandatory military service for women; nuclear weapons against Israel; Russia’s attack on Poland, Romania and Lithuania; America’s attack on vessels in the Caribbean; Britain’s embarrassing humiliation; annual $100,000.00 fees for H-1B Visas; the government’s threats against nonprofits; and the controversial “indefinite” suspension of Jimmy Kimmel.

“The Illusion of Control,” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Kalon Mitchell, is now posted. Here is the summary:

We often live under the illusion of control, convinced that we can direct our lives by our own will, yet Scripture shows this pursuit always ends in loss, frustration, and even destruction. From Adam and Eve to Job, Esau, and Paul, the Bible reveals that true peace and maturity come not through grasping for control but through surrendering to God’s will. The greatest freedom we can ever know is found not in self-rule, but in faithfully, humbly following the Father’s lead.

“I Do Not Bring Peace,” the Feast of Trumpets Offertory presented by Kalon Mitchell, is now posted.

“Will YOU Hear the Trumpets?” the Feast of Trumpets sermon presented by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is the summary:

What does the Bible say about the seven last trumpets, which are directly related to the annual Feast of Trumpets? Who will hear them? Will YOU hear them, if you are alive by the time when they are blown, whoever and wherever you are? Do the Bible and history give us any hint as how to answer this question?

“When Will Governments Be Held Accountable For Their Corona Measures?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

The governments’ horrific coronavirus measures, with the support of the pharmaceutical industry and the mass media, included dangerous mandatory vaccinations, lockdowns, and other freedom-robbing restrictions. Yet, nowhere does one see them being held accountable. On the contrary, they continue to be protected, and voices are again calling for the same approach in the future. And it’s by no means just about forced vaccinations for coronavirus. Some want to change these conditions, but will they succeed?

“Wann geben die Regierungen Rechenschaft für ihre Corona Maßnahmen?” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program presented by Norbert Link. This German program covers the same topics as described above.

Is punctuality important to you? What might being late say about your character? Do you have excuses ready when you’re late? Could your lateness actually sin against God, your fellow human beings, and yourself? Is God ever late? Shouldn’t we also avoid being late?

“Why America is Going Down—Comments on News and Prophecy, September 6, 2025,” last Sabbath’s sermonette presented by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is the summary:

This program gives many examples of the ongoing downfall of the USA and its deteriorating relationship with friends and allies, as well as frightening conduct by its enemies, notwithstanding wishful thinking and statements to the contrary. There is a reason for that, and God’s Church has a duty to proclaim this reason. This includes the fact that the USA will NOT win a major war anymore, as Herbert W. Armstrong so famously proclaimed.

“God’s Warning to True and False Christians,” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is the summary:

Are you a true Christian, and if not, how can you become one? On the other hand, what must true Christians guard against to ensure they remain true Christians? The answers to these questions are of utmost importance and will determine your ultimate salvation.

“Crazy Science and the End of the World,” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

Today, new scientific “advances” make it even more possible than ever before to destroy all life on Earth and usher in the end of the world. This program presents two shockingly insane scientific developments and, using a historical example, warns against being unprepared.

When we read through the book of Judges, we might think that this book is just an historical record of the Children of Israel occupying the promised land and the obstacles they faced. However, when analyzed, their experiences could be a warning to us not to do what they did that aroused God’s anger against them.

“Demons Rule This World!” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

If you are still not convinced of the Truth of this statement, this program will give you several examples of absolutely demonic behavior—from today’s murder of innocent Catholic schoolchildren in Minnesota, the horrific developments in Russia regarding innocent children and Putin’s questioning the spirits, to the White House Faith Office.

“Dämonen beherrschen diese Welt!” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link. This German program covers the same topics as described above.

Worship is such a basic function of Christianity that we rarely consider what it means and how to do it. What are the examples of worship in the Bible that we can learn from? As converted Christians, how does God want us to worship Him?

“Is There (No) Peace After All?” is the title of the newest StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

The meeting in Washington between Trump, Zelensky, and European leaders was far more promising than the previous meeting between Trump and Putin in Alaska. But Russia would now have to play along, which it clearly isn’t. It categorically rejects the security guarantees for Ukraine, proposed by Trump and the Europeans, or combines them with demands that are absolutely laughable. Trump is now seemingly losing his patience with Putin. Where will all this lead?

“Gibt es doch (keinen) Frieden?” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen, presented by Norbert Link. This German program covers the same information as described above.

“The Debacle of Trump’s Meeting with Putin in Alaska,” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

Why do we say that the meeting was a debacle? Well, what did it accomplish? What was agreed upon? Even though we haven’t heard much about the exact nature of a deal, in an interview subsequent to the meeting, Trump let slip a few things, which were in favor of Russia and which Ukraine would never agree to. But most importantly, what does the BIBLE say about the future of Russia and Ukraine, as well as Europe and the USA?

“Das Debakel von Trumps Treffen mit Putin in Alaska,” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link. This German program covers the same information as described above.

“Gottes Warnung an wahre und falsche Christen,” is the title of this Sabbath’s German sermon, presented by Norbert Link. Title in English: “God’s Warning to True and False Christians.”

“God of Peace — Peace of God,” last Sabbath’s sermonette presented by Eric Rank, is now posted. Here is the summary:

The world we live in constantly threatens to steal away our peace of mind and peace between one another. God offers us a sure path to experience lasting peace if we have the courage and faith to follow Him. The God of peace provides us with the opportunity to obtain the peace of God.

“Your Christianity–Counterfeit or Real?” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Dave Harris, is now posted. Here is the summary:

It is the largest of the world’s religions, and 2.4 billion people claim to be Christians! But is this the Christianity of the Bible or a counterfeit? Is your Christian faith real, or have you been deceived?

“And Now Also Germany Against Israel!” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

Due to its recent history, Germany had been anxious to portray itself as a strong supporter of Israel. But not any longer. The German government has joined the chorus of condemnatory and accusatory voices against Israel. It began with Germany’s support of a fictitious two-state solution and an inaccurate portrayal of the Gaza tragedy; and has now reached its climax in Chancellor Merz’s controversial announcement that Germany would no longer export military equipment to Israel that could be used in Gaza. What does the Bible say about Israel and all those nations which are ganging up against it?

“Und jetzt auch Deutschland gegen Israel!” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link. This program covers the same topic as described above.

A new Member Letter (August 2025) has been posted and mailed to our subscribers. Pastor Eric Rank reflects on living a godly life and encouraging us to hold on to the crown given to Christians as we continue to walk in the way of God.

“The Curse of Taxes,” last Sabbath’s sermonette presented by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is the summary:

Christ told us to pay our taxes—to give Caesar what is Caesar’s. Paul repeats this and even says that tax collectors are “God’s ministers.” These statements must not be misunderstood. Even though we are to be subject to the powers over us, the concept of taxes is a curse. It is quite different from our obligation to pay God’s tithe.  The Bible includes many warnings for governments who overtax the people. It also shows the blessing of tax relief.

“A Story of Sacrifice,” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Michael Link, is now posted. Here is the summary:

A young man is sent out into the world by his poor parents to seek a better way of life, only to find himself in many trials and tests, until he develops a change of heart by saving the ones he loves.  Within this story, there are many symbolic principles in relation to the Bible which can be applied personally and/or spiritually in our lives.

compiled by Dave Harris

“Kontrollieren Sie Ihre Gedanken” last Sabbath’s German sermonette presented by Dmitrij Niemann, is now posted. Title in English: “Control Your Thoughts.”

“William Tyndale,” last Sabbath’s sermonette presented by Paul Niehoff, is now posted. Here is the summary:

God has raised up many people to do the work He required. One of them used to translate much of the Bible into English from the original languages was William Tyndale, a Catholic priest whose aim was to enable the common people to read God’s Word in their native language. Because of doing this, he was put to death.

“Beyond the Basics of Obedience,” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Kalon Mitchell, is now posted. Here is the summary:

The 10 Commandments are the basics in the laws of God. They are the cornerstones for any true practicing Christian. Yet, Christ goes on to tell us that the 10 Commandments are not enough in terms of going above and beyond. What does that mean and what does that look like?
