Do you have a time when you first came to know Christ as YOUR Saviour? Were you ever awakened to the fact that you are a sinner in need of having your sins forgiven in order to be right with God? Have you ever received Him as your own personal Saviour and Lord and experienced the joy of salvation? We hope that you have. Well, today’s broadcast is directed towards believers and is concerned with so...

The clear and simple Gospel message embraces two opposing realities - judgment for sin or an eternal blessed future in heaven. For the Christian, judgment is passed already - we are set free by the blood of Christ. But this is only the beginning of an eternal lifetime of discovery - of learning more about Christ and the ‘great salvation’ that was obtained for us on the cross of Calvary. 

Beyond the shadow of a doubt, the most amazing location in all the world is at the foot of the cross of Christ. It was there that emotions ranged from horror to peace, from guilt to forgiveness, from terror to calm, from hatred to love, from unbelief to faith in God. One of the figures who stood at the foot of the cross was a Roman centurion who was a front row spectator to the greatest event in h...

If you read the book of Genesis, it’s not long before you come across the account of Noah’s flood. Mankind had lived and multiplied upon the earth for many years, and it seems that their depth of wickedness and depravity only became worse and worse. There was great violence on the earth and men seemed to do whatever pleased them taking no thought of the righteousness of God. What an awful place it...

You've probably heard people say that they have 'great faith'. But surely, this can be very deceptive. A vague, undefined notion of 'having faith' or 'being spiritual' or 'believing in a higher power' has no substance. It is merely a state of mind. Or you may have great faith in an unworthy object - for example, a boat that is filled with holes. Will th...

Where did humanity’s sorrow, guilt, and separation from God begin? In the Garden of Eden, Adam possessed honour, innocence, fellowship, and joy, yet sin robbed him of everything God intended him to enjoy. When God called, “Adam, where are you?” He was asking a question that still reaches every human heart today. Where are we in our relationship with the God who made us and loves us? Although sin b...

One of the most popular parables told by the Lord Jesus Christ is known as the 'Parable of the Talents' where a nobleman goes on a journey to a far country to receive a kingdom, leaving his servants with different amounts of money to use while he was gone. There is an interesting detail that Jesus mentioned in this story - the citizens of the country REJECTED the nobleman saying, "W...

Have you ever been completely lost and unable to find your way home? The Bible uses the familiar picture of wandering sheep to describe the spiritual condition of every human being. We may appear confident, respectable, and in control, yet God sees how far our hearts have wandered from Him. But Isaiah Chapter 53 does more than reveal our problem - it introduces us to the One who came to solve it....

Everyone who ever met the Lord Jesus Christ is never the same again. Either they moved away from Him with the knowledge that they had rejected Him, or they believed His message and received from Him the gift of God’s salvation. Yes, coming into contact with Christ is a pivotal point in a person’s life. Our messages here on Anchorpoint are given for just this reason – so that you may have a “life c...

Throughout history, memorials have been raised to honour those who died so that others might live in freedom. But there is one death that stands above every other sacrifice - the death of the Lord Jesus Christ. His life was not taken from Him against His will; He deliberately laid it down because of His love for sinners. Yet the story did not end at the cross or inside a sealed tomb. Jesus Christ...

Here at Anchorpoint, we believe that the gospel message is the greatest story every told. The message itself never grows old. It tells us the most glorious, yet relevant truths we need to hear today. And people need to hear it. In our message today, speaker Dan Shutt takes a look at God’s way of salvation in four different ways – all of them illustrating the superlative nature of what it presents...

From childhood, Brody Thibodeau knew that he needed to be saved and that Jesus Christ had died for sinners. But one troubling thought repeatedly held him back: “If I get saved, my life will have to change.” Sports, friends, university parties, and the increasing busyness of adult life offered one distraction after another. Still, God continued to speak, reminding him that temporary pleasures could...

The apostle John wrote that it is possible to know that we possess eternal life. Listen to it: “The blood of Jesus Christ, God’s Son, cleanses us from all sin.”  Yes, religious activity cannot cleanse a sinful heart or make us acceptable to God. We may speak about God, attend meetings, say prayers, and perform good deeds while still following the pathway of our own choosing. Examine your heart hon...

What does Jesus mean to you? Sadly, while mingling with crowds here and there through our daily lives, it is easy to know what Jesus means to many. His name is openly slandered and cursed upon. Would you curse upon something or someone dear and precious to you? I don’t think so. What has He ever done to make people treat Him so disrespectfully and with such animosity? Our message today is all abou...

People often have very negative thoughts about God – that He wants to control their lives and, even worse, wants to make them miserable. But that is not the God of the Bible! God is loving, patient, kind, generous. Every good thing! And His greatest desire for us is to be forgiven of our sins, removed from our sorrows, delivered from our fear and pain, and to be in a place of peace and joy in His...

It's a common mistake for many people to think that there is something they have to DO to gain acceptance with God. An individual may rightly begin to realize a sense of need in their own soul - a need to have matters settled with God - a need to have their sins forgiven. Maybe you’re listening to Anchorpoint today with a desire to have the salvation that the Bible speaks of. Or maybe, you ar...

“Amazing Grace” is a truly beautiful song. But how sad that many music artists around the world while lending their beautiful voices and instrumental skills to the song hardly appreciate what the song is truly all about! Well, it contains the simple gospel message of the awareness of sin, the grace of God in saving souls, and the joy of the believer upon receiving that message. Is grace amazing to...

One of the most well-known verses in the Bible - and you may know it - is John 3:16 – “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him, should not perish but have everlasting life.” A beautiful verse - the gospel in a nutshell! Well, today's message is based on the verse that follows John 3:16 - and here's how it reads, "For God sent not H...

It's quite obvious that there is a lot of ‘brokenness’ of the world around us. he ‘whys’ may not all be answered, but there IS purpose in it all. God is not finished with this world yet. And Christians? Well, He’s helping us to focus on what really counts, testing our love and devotion, and developing in us a closer likeness to His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. 

The Bible says that the “preaching of the cross is foolishness to them that perish. But unto us which are saved, it is the power of God.” The cross of Calvary is the central focus of the Word of God. The prophets of old looked forward to it, those who lived at the time of Christ saw the cross experience with their own eyes, and we, today, look back at it as an accomplished fact. This week’s messag...

There are many Bible stories about how the Lord Jesus Christ healed the sick and dying. He was known as the “Great Physician” whose compassion and healing power attracted multitudes of sad and afflicted people. But not all people were drawn to the Saviour – in fact, the religious people were His greatest critics! They felt they had no need of Christ in their lives. He exposed their hypocrisy and s...

The Gospel of John, chapter 9, is entirely dedicated to the story of one poor blind man and his encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ. It was one of the “sign” miracles that the apostle John included in his gospel – miracles that displayed the glory of God in Christ. This man was blind from birth and would never be able to see apart from divine intervention. How similar to this is our own condition...

The problem with understanding the Bible for just about all of us is that we all come to the Bible with our OWN way of thinking. We've already decided what God is like and what we are like. Unfortunately, it is usually a very wrong assessment. In the gospel of Luke, Chapter 15 the Lord Jesus Christ tells a story that we know now as 'the prodigal son'. But there is more to the story...

You know, the Lord Jesus Christ was the Great Physician. Multitudes of people came to Him with various ailments and were instantly healed. We have one such story in the Bible of a woman who had spent all of her money on medical remedies but continued to grow worse. Her time was running out. Would she admit that she needed help? Her life depended on it. In this week’s message, we look at  this woma...

Without a doubt, the most monumental location affecting every human being who has ever lived is the place called Calvary. It was the place where heaven’s love and heaven’s justice met. What an individual does with this place will determine the greatest matter in the universe – the salvation of the soul. So, if you have never been to Calvary, we trust that today you will find yourself at the foot o...
