Why Are We Here? Herbert W Armstrong - October 6, 1978 - Feast of Tabernacles
Well greetings everybody! This is the first day of the Feast of Tabernacles, and let me ask as I used to ask year after year in times past, why are we here? Well let me say once again, as I have said so many times through the years, we are here to look forward into, and to as it were, enjoy a part o ...
Mr. Herbert Armstrong always asked the question, "Why are we here?" One guy over in Jekyll one year said, "Because you're not all there". I don't think that is the answer really. Why are we here? I want to ask one question though before I launch into the sermon, I've used enough filler time he ...
Because I just merely asked them, "How do you know what happens after death? Is there any life after death? Do the dead know anything, or are they unconscious?" I said, "Science can contribute nothing. There are many ideas. The pagans have some superstitious ideas. There is the so-called Christian i ...
There's recently a book published entitled, "Why Waco?" This book is written by James D Tabor and Eugene Gallagher, it was written by a man who is not unfriendly toward the Churches of God, he at one time was a student, one of the men, was a student at Ambassador College and also I think a member ...
And I'm here to ask you the question, this afternoon or this morning rather, and that is "why did God kill the firstborn?" This has a great deal to do with what we've been keeping here the last several days and maybe we need to go back a bit before that period of time, but doesn't that seem a ...
Why Do We Fast? Dean C Blackwell - October 11, 1978 - Atonement
The Midland paper yesterday had an article on the front of section B this is especially striking to me because we had some guests in our home last night on their way to the Feast in Big Sandy and they live out just maybe 50 miles from where this happened. Spartan, Nevada the 51 year old Merchant Sea ...
Good morning, everyone. It's a blessing and privilege to see so many brothers and sisters in Christ gathered together. I don't know about you, but sometimes I feel I just don't get any respect. It happened last year at the Ozark. I was given the privilege of a sermon opportunity down in the Fe ...
Well brethren a lot obviously has been going on and a lot of things have been transpiring, I know that, that has been on the minds of certainly most of you some of you may not have been aware of some of these things, but you know, when problems come on and difficulties in life whether it's in our ...
Since so many of you are new, I estimated perhaps a third at least from those who rose yesterday evening, a third of you have never been here before, some of you have been baptized with in the last year and have the opportunity perhaps only in the last month or two to read any articles explaining th ...
Greetings to all of you and I would like to bring you greetings also from your brethren in the German speaking area and from the Aufenthalt staff at Baun. My wife sends you her greetings, so many that she knows here. She could not be here this time because she is going to be coming in January with m ...
Now then I'm coming to the most important part of all. Jesus said, "I will build My Church." But He said also John 6:44. Read it in your Bible there. I've read it so many times. John 6:44 No man CAN come to me... There's only one door to God, and that's Christ. There's no other way you can ...
My wife and I were called into the Church and started attending in 1951 and I think that in 1951 when I went to the Feast of Tabernacles, at least for part of the time, I think it was a weekend in Belknap Springs, we had one person who is here in this audience, it might have been more than one. Is t ...
I would like to ask this afternoon, and also to answer, "WHY the Church?" Why should there be the Church? There are churches all over the western world. They're attended every Sunday by a good section of the population. Do most people realize why there should be a church, or do they just take it f ...
It is God that designates and sets apart, He tells us in the book of Leviticus chapter 23 as to why we are here today, why we're not out pursuing our work and our labors in the way that the community around us is. God tells us in Leviticus chapter 23, verse 26 (Leviticus 23:26). "the Eternal spoke ...
Why are we the firstfruits? WHY? I'm not talking about what, when, or how, or anything else; but why? We are the firstfruits to become teachers to teach others. The Church is school. And we are to be taught the way of God, the way of life; and to be taught of God's program - of God's program t ...
