Was God behind the start of the Continuing Church of God? In the past four years what has happened? Were there any dreams that preceded the start of the old Radio Church of God and the Philadelphia era? Is part of Loma Armstrong’s dream being fulfilled today? Has God granted 4 dreams to three associated with the Continuing Church of God? What are the proclamation fruits of CCOG? What about CCOG’s size and growth? Is there any COG with 30% per year growth? Why did the old Radio\/Worldwide Church of God stop having that growth? Has CCOG restored knowledge of church history, doctrine, and prophecy? Has God been revealing Philadelphia through CCOG since 12\/28\/12?<\/p>\n

Some items of related interest may include:<\/em><\/p>\n

Should the Church Still Try to Place its Top Priority on Proclaiming the Gospel or Did Herbert W. Armstrong Change that Priority for the Work?<\/a> Some say the Church should mainly feed the flock now as that is what Herbert W. Armstrong reportedly said. Is that what he said? Is that what the Bible says? What did Paul<\/a> and Herbert W. Armstrong<\/a> expect from lower level leaders? A related sermon is available titled Priority of the Philadelphia Work<\/a>.
\nDreams, the Bible, the Radio Church of God, and the Continuing<\/em> Church of God<\/a> How has God used dreams in the past? Does God still use dreams? Did He use any involving those in the Continuing<\/em> Church of God? Here is a link in Spanish: Sue\u00f1os, la Biblia, la Iglesia de Dios de la Radio, y la Continuaci\u00f3n de la Iglesia de Dios<\/a>. A related sermon is also available: Dreams, COGs, and One Man Rule<\/a>.
\nThe Bible, Peter, Paul, John, Polycarp, Herbert W. Armstrong, Roderick C. Meredith, and Bob Thiel on Church Government<\/a> What form of governance did the early church have? Was it hierarchical? Which form of governance would one expect to have in the Philadelphia remnant? The people decide and\/or committee forms, odd dictatorships, or the same type that the Philadelphia era itself had? What are some of the scriptural limits on ecclesiastical authority? Do some commit organizational idolatry? Here is a Spanish language version La Biblia, Policarpo, Herbert W. Armstrong, y Roderick C. Meredith sobre el gobierno de la Iglesia<\/a>. Here is a link to a sermon titled Church Governance<\/a>.
\nPreparing for the ‘Short Work’ and The Famine of the Word<\/a> What is the ‘short work’ of Romans 9:28? Who is preparing for it? Here is a link to a related video sermon titled: The Short Work<\/a>.
\nThe Final Phase of the Work<\/a> What is the final phase of the work? Who will lead it? Do you have the courage to support it? Here is a related YouTube video titled The Final Phase of the Work. <\/a> The written article has been translated into Spanish La Fase Final de la Obra<\/a>.
\nLeading the Final Phase of the Work<\/a> Matthew 24:14 teaches “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come ” will be fulfilled and RCG is not the group doing this. Who is leading the final phase of the work? What did Herbert Armstrong and the old WCG teach about that and about prophets? Does Bob Thiel meet the criteria that the Bible and the old WCG set? What is the proof? What has the Continuing<\/em> Church of God<\/a> been doing?\u00a0 This is a sermonette length video.
\nBehind the Work 2016: All Nations, Tribes, People, and Tongues<\/a> What has been going on in the Continuing Church of God to do the work? How is the Continuing Church of God working to fulfill scriptures such as Matthew 24:14 and Matthew 28:19-20? How many languages has CCOG literature now been translated in? How might this tie in with Revelation 7:9? What about \u2018stammering lips\u2019? This is a sermon-length video.
