United Church of God - Official Site

The United Church of God, today active with congregations in more than 40 countries, began as a formal assembly in 1995. Doctrinal distinctives of the Church include the observance of a seventh-day Sabbath, a modern application of the ancient Hebrew Holy Day seasons (which Jesus also kept and which the Church believes are a literal representation of God's plan for humanity) and a firm belief that Jesus Christ will return to earth to institute a benevolent, world-encircling Kingdom of God.

Good News Magazine

The goal of The Good News is to provide understanding. Many other magazines report the news, whether current events, social trends or the lighter fare of sports or personalities. They provide information, but not answers. They don't address the really big, really important questions: Why are we here? What is our purpose in life? Where are we going? What lies ahead for our families, loved ones and friends? Read online articles at http://www.gnmagazine.org

World News and Prophecy

The mission of World News and Prophecy (WNP) is to provide United Church of God members and other interested persons with commentary and analysis of selected world news topics in the light of Bible prophecy. Its purpose is to help readers discern the times and increase their awareness and understanding of the answers Christ gave to His disciples' question: "Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?" (Matthew 24:3). Read the online version at http://www.wnponline.org

The Biblical Festivals That Reveal Christ's Role in God's Plan
Jesus Christ celebrated seven festivals every year that most Christians today can't even name, yet they have His imprint all over them. He is the reason for each of these seasons, and they have great meaning for anyone who would like to follow Him better. What are these festivals, and what do they reveal about our Savior and King?
