Garner Ted Armstrong EA - Australia

Here is a sermon delivered on Pentecost 1983 that is as alive today with the truth of God as it was the day it was delivered.

They say, "Jesus Christ died to save sinners". That is true. They also say that Christ's death means we are no longer obligated to obey God's Law. Christ they say did that for us. Not true. That line of thinking is a Satanic perversion of what Christ's death and resurrection is all about. Here is a forthright exposition of what 'the New Covenant" actually means.

Have you ever wondered what proof there was for the resurrection of Jesus Christ? Here it is.

The why and the how to talk with God.

The Bible tells us that "All things were made by HIM" John 1. That includes the entire universe. What kind of power does God Almighty have to create the entire unfathomable universe? What power then to sustain the universe and everything in it these several billion years. Yes, the universe was created billions of years ago. However the Earth was Re-Created just on 6,000 years ago, having been prev...

Thirty or forty years ago to suggest to your average christian that Christ was not, could not have been, born on December 25th was an invitation to a potentially verbally violent exchange. But now, perhaps through the rise of the Internet and Google searching, and not least because of the Garner Ted Armstrong "GTA" telecast and other Church of God broadcasts and magazine articles and booklets, mil...

A step by step exposition of the Bible's account of future events leading to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

The Catholic and Protestant doctrine of God being a "three in one" God and each component, the Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, each being a "one in three" is completely false and pagan. The Bible proves the 'trinity' to be a false concept. The only reason this pagan doctrine exists despite the Bible and logic is that it makes God very mysterious. And both strands of mainstream christiani...

What is the motive of God's work on earth at this time? Money making? Absolutely not. The Sabbath keeping Intercontinental Church of God and the Garner Ted Armstrong Evangelistic Association follow Christ's edict, "Freely have you received, freely give." However the Work of God, the twin commissions to the church, to preach the Gospel to the world and to feed the flock obviously requires funds. Th...

The Bible speaks of "the commandments and doctrines of men" (Col.2:22). To what extent do the doctrines of men, doctrines of the world, infect religion? All religion, be it christian, islam, hinduism, bhuddism and every other "ism" of religions on the face of the earth. Even humanism. But sticking with "christianity" just how many of the doctrines (teachings) of the Sunday keeping churches (and ev...

The traditional teaching on Christ's death and resurrection has Him dead on a Friday afternoon and resurrected Sunday morning. Three days and three nights? It's a big stretch. But Christ as Jonah was in the belly of the great fish three days and three nights so would He be in the heart of the Earth. Did Christ mean what He said? Jonah was written in Hebrew. It means what it says. Christ meant what...

Giving thanks to God for all His many blessings is not very fashionable these days. But here is a sermon as to how to give thanks and why.

This sermon, delivered on the Last Great Day, one of God's annual Holy Days, speaks of God's judgment and the way God judges.

HALLOWE'EN, commonly spelled without the apostrophe today, is utterly PAGAN! All its symbols and customs stem from ancient heathen mythology. Why should any Christ-centered, Bible-believing person revel in ghoulish death? What place have witches, goblins, demons, skeletons, "Jack o' Lanterns," black cats, and the worship of "Samhain, the Lord of the Dead," in a Christian society? Millions use "Hal...

Here, in 1998 Mr. Armstrong delivers a sermon for the Day of Atonement pre-recorded for the benefit of scattered brethren. He examines the Biblical meaning of the Day of Atonement in the context of God's seasonal Holy Day plan. In that plan this day sees the banishment of Satan the Devil. Despite it being a fast day it is a day of rejoicing for God having finally bound up Satan for 1000 years duri...

Jesus Christ said, "I am the WAY". The early converts to accepting Jesus Christ as Saviour were spoken of as following that WAY. That is because the truly converted, spirit begotten have dedicated themselves to living the same life that Christ lived. Christ is the example (to which we all fall short) but nonetheless He preached among other things a way of life.

God said that through the faith of one man, Abraham, all the nations would be blessed. Moreover God promised Abraham that he would be the father of many nations. Has that happened? You bet. Here is the story of one man's family and the faith in God's promises that have seen the nations of the world blessed physically beyond measure. But look to other Garner Ted Armstrong sermons to see what the Bi...

What does the Bible teach on the topic of homosexuality?

How many really believe Jesus Christ was born on December 25th? Well, you would have to say some. But it takes little thought to realise that sheep in Israel are not out in the fields around Bethlehem in winter. No, neither are the shepherds. The story told by nominal christianity has many other flaws. Not least that December 25th was instituted by Constantine 320 years after the event and that da...

The Jesus Christ depicted by the Catholic and Protestant churches of a long haired, droopy eyed christ holding a lamb or hanging off a cross is a false christ. The Jesus Christ of the Bible was nothing like the one depicted by Renaissance artists as reproduced endlessly in pictorial Bibles. Jesus Christ was a Jew and He looked like any other Jew of His day. But that is just one of dozens of false...

There is nothing about this sermon that is not immediately recognisable as current. Substitute just a few contemporary factual references on the state of the world and it could have been preached today. And yet the warning message is still being preached today to a world that needs to hear it all the more - and yet the world today as twenty years ago will not listen and will not be told.

Here Garner Ted Armstrong canvasses the many means by which man, both pagan and professing christian, have over centuries sought to "please" God or "their gods". Human sacrifice was even until recently thought to be pleasing to 'the gods". A more modern paganism has "christians" babbling in "tongues", arm waving and speaking gibberish - even though the Apostle Paul rails against such - see for exa...

Millions of church goers believe God's law is done away. Why? Because thousands of Sunday go to meeting preachers have told them so for generations. Bit the one Law that they really object to and get exercised over is the Fourth Commandment - the Sabbath. And to justify rejection of the 7th Day Sabbath they have to "reject" all of God's Ten Commandments and then simply say the substance of the oth...

Will the thieves, crooks, thugs, pedophiles and assorted perverts, adulterers and murderers repent? Before they commit the crime? Will they repent when they are resurrected to face Christ in the 100 year period of judgement following the Millennial reign of Jesus Christ on earth? (Rev. 20: 4-5)What then?
