“Germany and Europe Prepare for War With USA,” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

A provocative title, yet by no means inaccurate. From Germany’s President Frank-Walter Steinmeier’s sharp rebuke and condemnation of Trump’s war against Iran, to preparations for armed conflict between America and Europe over Greenland, we are witnessing the irrevocable breakdown of the transatlantic relationship—and the confirmation of biblical prophecies that a nuclear World War will erupt between Europe and America. But must we, therefore, languish in hopelessness?

“Deutschland und Europa bereiten sich auf Krieg mit den USA vor,” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link. This German program covers the same topics as described above.

“Be Transformed,” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Eric Rank, is now posted. Here is the summary:

Spiritual growth is a pervasive theme in the life of a Christian. It is necessary to acknowledge the importance of spiritual growth, but achieving it requires deeper learning. What does the process look like? What does it feel like along the way? The Bible reveals that spiritual growth brings Christians on a journey of transformation, making our former selves unrecognizable by comparison.

“Germany Stands Up to and Rejects Trump,” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

The developments regarding the Iran war confirm beyond a shadow of a doubt that the alienation between Germany and Trump continues. Even German pro-Trump media outlets and politicians, seeing the signs of the times, stand up to him and reject his policies. Germany stated clearly that it will not join Trump militarily in any manner, shape or form. In return, Trump reacted with anger and threats. 

“Deutschland stellt sich ablehnend gegen Trump,” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link. This German program covers the same topics as discussed above.

“Why America Won’t Win the Iran War—Comments on News and Prophecy, March 14, 2026,” last Sabbath’s first message presented by Nobert Link, is now posted. Here is the summary:

America has no chance of winning this war—whatever you might describe as “undefined victory.” There will be no regime change; there will be no destruction of Iran’s nuclear stockpile; and most certainly, there will be no successful invasion of Iran through ground troops.

America’s allies, especially in Europe, are separating themselves more and more from Trump’s Iran war, and object strongly to his dealing with Russia and his “chaotic geopolitical moves,” being unwilling to “escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz.”

At the same time, this ill-conceived and unprovoked war without any plan for the “Day After” might lead to a “dollar crisis” and an “economic crash worse than the Great Depression”; and oil prices will “march higher and higher” and will “NEVER go back down much again.”

“Faith in God’s Promise of Healing,” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is the summary:

This sermon explores many biblical passages that address faith, hope, and doubt, and explains God’s promise of healing in this life, which is, however, conditional. We also present examples in which God’s supernatural, powerful healing was clearly demonstrated.

“The Iran War and the Third Temple,” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

Could there be any connection between these two events? There might be, but perhaps not in the suggested or expected way. However, we should be able to see how biblical prophecy is being fulfilled in our times.

“Don’t Be Late,” last Sabbath’s first split sermon presented by Michael Link, is now posted.

Here is the summary:

What does God require of us to make sure that we overcome when surrounded by difficulties? Knowing what God promises, do we take Him for granted, and are we earnestly prepared for what is just ahead of us?

“Thoughts We Allow,” last Sabbath’s second split sermon presented by Kalon Mitchell, is now posted. Here is the summary:

Our thoughts are powerful and shape who we become. Modern neuroscience and the Bible affirm that what we repeatedly think can transform our minds and actions. As Christians, we must intentionally guard and guide our thoughts by bringing every thought into captivity to Christ so that our words, actions, and character reflect God’s ways rather than the natural tendencies of the human heart.

“The Curse of the Iran War,” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

The war with Iran has already spread to other countries in the Middle East and even threatens Europe. It began on February 28, 2026, with an attack on Iran by the US and Israel. What is remarkable about this date? Why did it happen, and what is the plan after the war ends? And was Trump anointed by Christ, as commanders have recently claimed? What does Jesus Christ really say about all of this in His holy book, the Bible? Is war ever justified in His eyes?

“Der Fluch des Iran Krieges,” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link. This German program covers the same topics as described above.

“Do not Doubt—Believe!” last Sabbath’s sermonette presented by Frank Bruno, is now posted. Here is the summary:

In our human lives each day we hear about fake news, tech scams, AI bots, and more, and we must train ourselves to doubt all we confront. This is correct, however, once we’ve been called by God, we must also train ourselves by praying and reading the Bible, to do as Jesus commanded: to believe in Him and the Father and have no doubts as to Scripture and prophecy. In this sermonette we will review several Scriptures that can help us in this regard.

“The Twelve Tribes of Israel—Past, Present and Future,” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Dave Harris, is now posted. Here is the summary:

Without understanding the identity of the twelve tribes of Israel, biblical prophecies make little sense. Their history is written in the Bible, and they do still exist, today! In fact, they will never cease to exist!

“The Most Problematic Statement in the State of the Union Address,” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

President Trump’s address on February 25, 2026, included all kinds of controversial statements, but one really was extremely problematic and very dangerous, explaining, somewhat, WHY the fall of the United States of America is prophesied and inevitable—unless the nation bitterly repents of its pride and its sins. There are no signs, though, of such required repentance.

“Die problematischste Aussage in der Rede zur Lage der Nation,” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link. This German program covers the same topics as described above.

“Jesus Christ Reveals the Father,” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Eric Rank, is now posted. Here is the summary:  

The relationship that Jesus Christ has with God the Father is a mystery that most in the world do not understand today. The Jews at the time of Jesus Christ accused Him of blasphemy when He proclaimed His relationship because they didn’t understand the nature of the godhead either! The Bible reveals from the beginning to the end that Jesus Christ is the Son of God the Father, eternally. When He came to live on Earth as a man, He explained this relationship, removing the veil that previously hid God the Father from everyone.

“Merz’s and Rubio’s Historic Speeches in Munich…Really?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

We are told that German Chancellor Friedrich Merz gave a “widely noted” “historic” speech during the Munich Security Conference, describing his take on the American-European relationship.  The subsequent speech by US Secretary of Speech Marco Rubio was warmly received, but upon further analysis, what did it really convey? Have those speeches announced a better transatlantic relationship… or a further deterioration?

“End Time Prophecies in the Book of Hosea,” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is the summary:

The Old Testament book of Hosea—a contemporary of Amos—specifically warns Americans, Britons, and the State of Israel of terrible punishments. His accurate description of the current situation in the USA, England, and Israel should astonish everyone. Why is God so angry with them? And what lessons can we all learn from this?

“The Beast of Germany Over Ten Nations,” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

The Bible shows us that in these last days, a powerful military leader will arrive in Europe, called the Beast, and that ten nations will give him their authority. Also, that Germany will be the leading European country. In this program, we discuss developments in Europe and Germany which confirm with astonishing accuracy these biblical prophecies.

“Admit Your Mistakes!–Comments on News and Prophecy, February 7, 2026,” last Sabbath’s sermonette presented by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is the summary:

When we do wrong or say wrong things, do we admit our mistakes and apologize? Or do we deny responsibility, blame someone else and say, “I didn’t make a mistake”? Focusing on Nancy Guthrie, do we understand that under Old Testament rules, a kidnapper was to be put to death? Also, what is our personal thorn in the flesh? Who were all the “Mary’s” in the Bible? What is the future of Ukraine and Taiwan? What is Germany doing in the Gulf region? When will the third temple be built? These and many other questions are discussed in this program.

“Ask And You Shall Receive,” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Michael Link, is now posted. Here is the summary:

“The Third Temple—Coming Soon?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:  

Will the Third Temple be built soon, or is it being delayed? This program discusses developments showing an indirect relationship to the Third Temple, as well as direct orders to build the Temple.  However, we also show that some, who are responsible for building the Temple, seem to hesitate and thereby delay biblical prophecy. God won’t tolerate this much longer. 

“Kommt der dritte Tempel bald?” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link. This German program covers the same topics as discussed above.

Are you despairing of life? In light of the terrible developments in this world, this might be easy to do, but as Christians, we must not fall into that trap. This does not mean that we close our eyes and ignore what is happening in this world, as these are signs for the soon-coming Return of Jesus Christ. And so, in this program, we are addressing the remarkable military treaty between Germany and Italy and the call for an all-powerful European military leader, as well as the ongoing alienation between the USA and Europe and the terrible situation in Minnesota.

“A Pillar of God’s Word – Respect,” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Kalon Mitchell, is now posted. Here is the summary:

Respect is not optional—it is a pillar of God’s Word that upholds families, communities, and our relationship with Him. This sermon contrasts respect and disrespect across Scripture, showing how love, humility, and reverence produce unity, while pride and contempt lead to division. In a world that is losing respect, God’s people are called to hold the line and reflect His character through proper respect in every relationship.

“Trump’s Greenland Deal—Defeat or Distraction?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

In order to answer the question in the title of this program, we will first go back to point out Trump’s statements of his intensions regarding Greenland. In light of those declarations, the answer might become more obvious. But in any event, Trump’s conduct has contributed to the fulfillment of biblical prophecy.

“What Have You Learned About Generosity?” last Sabbath’s sermonette presented by Eric Rank, is now posted. Here is the summary:

Generosity has effects upon the giver that are contrary to human intuition. On the surface, the act of giving takes away from givers, leaving them with less than they started with. However, generosity is not a zero-sum game. The Bible reveals that the act of giving brings unique benefits to all of those involved.

“Those Who Knew Better,” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Dave Harris, is now posted. Here is the summary:

How often have we been confronted with a choice to do something that we knew we shouldn’t do, or to do what we know God commands for us? How do we choose in those situations?
