“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.

“Sheer Madness… What on Earth Is Going On in Europe?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

What is Europe up to… and Germany and Britain in particular? What about Britain’s long-range missiles for Ukraine? What about Germany’s provocative war propaganda and insane rearmament spending; and what about their censorship and their appalling suppression of dissemination of news articles and opposing opinions?

A German AufPostenStehen program was posted with the same topic. The title is: “Der reine Wahnsinn … Was ist bloß in Europa los?“ 

Michael Link’s sermonette has been posted, titled, “When Nations Come Together”.

Here is a summary:

What major event brings nations from all over the world together, especially through the inspiring underdog story of a particular nation, showing how the world can briefly rally around courage, pride, and shared joy? This unity is short-lived, as conflict, division, and war will persist after the tournament ends. Only the return of Jesus Christ will bring true and permanent peace, when all nations will be unified under one divine rule with no more war, suffering, deception, or sorrow.

Norbert Link’s sermon has been posted. It is titled, “America and God’s Church – Astonishing Parallels.” 

Here is a summary:

What parallels and similarities might exist between America’s independence 250 years ago and the history of the founding of the Church of the Eternal God in the USA? Does God have a very specific timeline involving nations, individuals, and momentous events? Can this plan be altered? And what warnings does the Bible contain for God’s Church?

“Trump’s Bizarre Interaction With a Ghost” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

Recently, Donald Trump communicated with an AI-powered ghost of Theodore Roosevelt. Harmless fun, or dangerous activity? With whom, exactly, did Trump speak? The Bible clearly warns us not to engage in such demonic practices. And why this fascination with UFOs, aliens, and other unexplained phenomena? Could it be that a sinister and deceptive plan is behind all of it?

“Trumps bizarrer Kontakt mit einem Geist“ is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link. This German program covers the same topic as described above.

Norbert Link’s sermonette, titled, “America’s Internal and International Destruction — Comments on News and Prophecy, June 27, 2026,” has been posted. Here is a summary:

While Jesus told His disciples to make peace and oppose war, America is doing the exact opposite. On the international scene, the Iran war is ongoing, and even “attempts” to end the fighting virtually guarantee their continuance. In the process, America’s “allies” are running away. True faith in God and His power are basically nonexistent in the USA. Domestically and internally, recent US Supreme Court decisions help destroy America from the inside.

Kalon Mitchell’s sermon, titled, “When Everything Accelerates,” has been posted. 

Here is a summary:

The world is accelerating and nobody knows how to stop it. God told us this was coming. Underneath all the technology, capability, and noise, the same ancient problem is surfacing that has always surfaced when humanity gains more power, we want to be like God, on our own terms, without going through Him.

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

What does the Bible say about the future of Europe? Will it truly be as united as some believe? Current developments in Europe point to something quite different. Yet, ten core nations will collectively hand over their military power to a cruel dictator—only to meet their end upon the return of Jesus Christ.

A German AufPostenStehen program was posted with the same topic. The title is: “Ein zerstrittenes Europa im Licht der Prophezeiung.“ 

Kalon Mitchell’s sermonette, titled, “Living Life In Reverse,” has been posted. 

Here is a summary:

This sermonette explores the tension between living in the present, learning from the past, and trusting God with the future. Through several scriptures we are reminded that God calls us to be intentional about the moments we are given. The challenge is to embrace each day with gratitude and purpose.

Michael Link’s sermon has been posted. It is titled, “Clean in an Unclean World.” 

Here is a summary:

What makes us unique and sets us apart from those in the world who have not yet been called? What is required of us to remain clean—both physically and spiritually—in an unclean world, and what help do we have? How do we bear the fruits of righteousness?

“Trump’s Lost Iran War – an Epic Disaster” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

A memorandum of understanding was signed by America and Iran. But key issues are still to be discussed for the next 60 days, if not longer. Trump’s and Netanyahu’s attacks on Iran were officially named “Operation Epic Fury”. Many critics called it “Operation Epic Disaster”. Were they right? Did America win this war? This program shows that Trump is the big loser.

“Trumps verlorener Iran Krieg – eine epische Katastrophe“ is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link. This German program covers the same topic as described above.

Frank Bruno’s sermonette, titled “Honor The Father,”  has been posted.

Here is a summary:

In this world, we are flooded with messages, ads, and human-centered holidays. With the “Hallmark Father’s Day” holiday observed on Sunday, June 21^st, it is a good time to present a refresher for a subject we should know well as true Christians: How we are to honor our Creator, our Father in heaven. We will consider several Scriptures and key points in this sermonette that can get us back on or keep us on track to demonstrate our love for the Father and Jesus Christ.

Eric Rank’s sermon, titled, “The Simplicity In Christ”, has been posted.

Here is a summary:

So much of the world is confused about what Christianity is. Biases, assumptions, and fallacies hide the simple Truth that Jesus Christ brought to the world through His ministry. We will reveal the magnificent and beautiful plan of God contained in the Bible to break down the confusion that gets in the way of understanding Christ.

“America and Israel—a Fractured Relationship” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

An end-time prophecy tells us that Israel and the USA will be at odds and even fighting each other. We are already seeing the beginning of this development. Trump claims to be in control of Netanyahu, but he is not. He wants to get out of the Iran war, but does not know how. He blames Netanyahu for all of this… and he is correct to a large extent, as he was clearly maneuvered into this war by Netanyahu. Is Netanyahu outsmarting Trump, and is Iran also outmaneuvering Trump as well? 

“Amerika und Israel – eine zerrüttete Beziehung” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link. This German program covers the same topics as described above.

“Exodus – Moses’ Escape to Midian” is the latest video in our Bible Story Series on YouTube.

Norbert Link’s sermonette, titled,  “Wars and Rumors of Wars— Comments on News and Prophecy, June 6, 2026”, has been posted. Here is a summary:

We truly observe wars and hear about rumors of wars with incredible speed—including the war between Israel and Lebanon/Hezbollah; the war between the USA and Iran; the war between Russia and Ukraine with drone attacks on Romania and the St. Petersburg area; and American intentions to invade Cuba, Greenland, and perhaps other countries. We hear of conflicts between Congress and President Trump regarding the continuation of the Iran war; frictions between the USA and Israel; alleged intentions to cancel America’s missile deal with Germany, which would make Germany extremely vulnerable; and forgotten lessons from Dachau. We also address demonic UFO and alien activities.

Norbert Link’s sermon, titled, “Does God Travel Back to the Future?”, has been posted. Here is a summary:

Is it even possible for God to travel through time into the past or the future? The concepts of predestination, God’s plan, His nature, and His Will stand in the way of this idea. Nevertheless, God naturally knows the past. And He can also look into the future. But how and when does this happen—and when does it not?

“Germany Is Getting Ready For War” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

While Pope Leo declared the concept of a just war obsolete, Germany is actively preparing for war. It seems that the lessons of the past are willfully forgotten, and even though the illusion of a “voluntary” Bundeswehr should be clearly realized, far too many stay silent while they ought to speak. But this is not true for everyone.

“Deutschland rüstet sich für den Krieg“  is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link. This German program covers the same topics as described above.

Rene Messier’s sermon, titled, “The Purity of The Most High God,”  is now posted.

“Trump’s War Against Almost ALL Foreigners in the USA” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

“Cruel and stupid,” “disruptive and evil” new rules for green card applicants and green card holders have just been announced by the US government. They are in line with additional attempts by the Trump Administration to get foreigners out of the country or to prevent them from becoming US citizens. But God condemns those efforts and such conduct in no uncertain terms and wants us to understand WHY all of this is so ungodly and wrong.

“Trumps Krieg gegen (fast) ALLE Ausländer in den USA“  is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link. This German program covers the same topics as described above.

“Signs of the End Times: The Third Temple” is the latest short video which has been posted on YouTube. 

Eric Rank’s Pentecost sermon, titled, “Written on a Heart of Flesh”, is now posted.

Here is a summary:

The day of Pentecost is the holy day when the first church received the Holy Spirit. This is the Helper that Jesus Christ promised to them and us that allows us to understand and live by the law of God. As part of God’s plan, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit coincides with the replacement of the stony heart of the carnal people we are with a heart of flesh, willing to surrender to God. 

Frank Bruno’s offertory for Pentecost, titled, “2300 Words in the Future Kingdom” , is now posted. 

Here is a summary:

In this Offertory message, we will consider the importance of the Sermon on the Mount in Jesus’s ministry, and how it must convict true followers of Christ. We do not prepare an offering to God on the Feast of Pentecost simply because we are commanded to do so. We do this because we believe each word of the Sermon that Jesus preached, and we know that we glorify God with our obedience and our thirst for righteousness. 

We posted last week’s German sermon from Manuel Mueller, titled, “Ein Brausen vom Himmel” (“A Roaring from Heaven”).

We posted Manuel Giermann’s German sermonette, titled, “Die Schäden durch Unzucht” (“The Damage of Fornication”).

Dave Harris, long-time Pastor, writer and Editorial Team member of the Church of the Eternal God, died on May 15, 2026, after a short stay in the hospital. He maintained a strong will to live as he was dedicated to his family and his work for the Church—in fact, he packed sermon notes to work on at the hospital! With this same strength and clarity, he decided the prognosis of living with medical support was not what he wanted, and this decision allowed him to secure his crown in faith. Through all of this he was clear that God was in charge. We are looking forward to meeting him again in the first resurrection. 

“Trump’s Visit to China – What a Debacle!” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

Trump’s two-day summit with Xi Jinping produced nothing for Trump. Major issues were not discussed or if they were, no agreement was reached. This includes Taiwan and Trump’s alarming position in this regard, as well as Iran’s ongoing collaboration with China; but also other major and essential issues vital for the USA. Trump’s chaotic reversals of his announced intentions question his credibility, and Iran responds with ridicule and dangerous threats. A peace deal between the USA and Iran seems to be nowhere in sight.  

“Trumps China Besuch – was für ein Debakel!“ is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link. This German program covers the same topics as described above.

Here is the summary:

God has given us a responsibility to fulfill. What does He expect of us, and what reward does He promise those who zealously commit themselves to this task?

”Faith in God’s Guidance and Direction,” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Norbert Link, is now posted. 

Here is the summary:

Are we convinced of God’s guidance and direction in our lives? What is this faith based on? What does the Bible tell us about God’s guidance through many examples? Is it possible that we experience God’s direction in unexpected ways—without initially becoming aware of it or being able to “see” it? Does God sometimes make use of His angels to encourage us? What do God’s guidance and intervention look like within a Christian marriage?
