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...

The gospel message we hear today is often a confusing one. How often is sin preached? What about the need for genuine repentance? Or the judgment that awaits the Christ rejecter? Do we hear much about the sound Biblical doctrines behind the gospel message? We desperately need to get back to what the Bible actually says. This week’s broadcast looks at the writings of the Apostle Paul in the book of...

  Given the fact that 100 out of 100 people die, it makes sense that we should think about it, doesn't it? With a Saviour available to us all, the subject is not all doom and gloom. There is wonderful hope in the Christian message that you will find nowhere else. Maybe the next 30 minutes will be the time when you prepare for that great appointment.

One of the marvellous attributes of God is His wonderful kindness. Titus Chapter 3, for example, says in verse 4 and 5 the following tremendous words: “But after that the KINDNESS and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us.” God is certainly kind toward us. The most extravagant expression was in the givi...

Well, today's message touches the heart of all of us - our need for peace. So often, the world is full of trials, difficulties, broken dreams, and empty pleasures. Ever wondered what life is all about anyway? We trust that today's message will point you to the answer to your innermost need - the Lord Jesus Christ.

Did you know that the oldest book in the Bible - Job - contains the same questions that have plagued mankind for centuries ever since? The big questions about life, death, and eternity? And did you know that Lord Jesus Christ himself answers these questions? This week's message explains the adequacy of God's own Son to not only answer our biggest questions but also to meet our greatest s...

Our message today could well be called the Gospel of Ruth, as this Old Testament book not only tells a captivating story of love and loss but also gives us a wonderful illustration of the tender dealings of God with sinners and His plan for their redemption – the good news of the gospel, if you will. For in this story, we have a needy soul - an outcast really – and how God moved in a miraculous wa...

Conditions in our world today appear to be setting the final stage for the great event known as the rapture of the church or the return of Christ. He came to this earth the first time as a man in order to die for sin - to provide salvation for fallen mankind. He will come the second time to call His loved ones home. We should all ask ourselves the question, "Will I go to be with the Lord when...

The rapture of the church is a Bible truth that you probably haven't heard much about, even though it was strongly believed and faithfully taught by the early Christian church. The Lord Jesus Christ, before He went back to heaven, promised His followers that He would return again. He didn't say WHEN, but He DID say how. The apostle Paul explains how that Christ will return from heaven an...

The salvation of a soul is a costly thing. The Bible says that we are bankrupt as far as God is concerned. We have offended God and cannot undo anything we have done. There is judgment for sin and we cannot pay it. This is where the good news of the gospel comes in! God Himself has intervened in the affairs of men to solve the great sin problem and He did this by meeting the high cost of redemptio...

The mere knowledge of the Gospel message is not salvation. The Lord Jesus Christ made it clear that we need to do more with the Gospel than listen and superficially agree. He said that we need to repent – to change our minds about ourselves and about God. This week's broadcast examines the scriptural meaning of repentance and faith. We trust it will help you to truly repent of your sins and p...

The Lord Jesus Christ changes lives and He changes destinies. There are many instances of this in the gospels, but in this broadcast we will be considering the salvation of what you might call a “poor, rich man”. He was extremely wealthy, the Bible says, but all his money was ill-gotten. Zacchaeus was the chief of tax collectors and climbed his way to the top by shrewd and fraudulent means. But he...

You know, the gospel message is not complicated. We have a righteous God who created us and who loves us. Why is it then that we don’t know this God – can’t connect with Him? Why are we miserable and hopeless and messed up? Well, the reason is simple. This righteous God is very much offended at the kind of behaviour we display as we live the lives He has given us. Our willful rebellion, our ingrat...

Who is the focus of the gospel? Christ of course! Often, we look at ourselves - or others. We look at our own understanding of what God requires or we get taken up with peripheral topics and theological issues. But God wants to direct our gaze to what is central to HIM – His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ who came into the world to save sinners. First, as the offspring of the woman. That is, He had no...

Jesus Christ made it very clear that a person needed to be born again to have a relationship with God. We all had a physical birth, but we need a spiritual birth to enter into the realm of heaven where God is. The most famous conversation in the Bible about the new birth is the talk that Jesus had with a teacher of the Jews, Nicodemus. Jesus said, “You must be born again.” This week’s message take...

The magnificent power of the creator Himself can be seen from the far reaches of the universe to the invisible atomic building blocks of our world. But God's power extends to far more than creation. He has the utmost power in the courthouse of heaven - the power to condemn and the power to pardon. But the sinner has power as well - the power of choice. The power to believe what God says and t...

In our gospel message today, speaker Eugene Higgins takes a look at some of the preponderance of scientific facts that support the worldview of design and theistic creation. Does science in any way disprove the existence of God? Absolutely not! In fact, science points the objective seeker TO God, the Creator of all of the marvellous world we see around us! Are you a meaningless natural accident li...

In John Chapter 3, we read the story of one man's personal interview with the Lord Jesus Christ. His name was Nicodemus, and we are told that he came to Jesus sometime in the night. And what a memorable night that was in the experience of this religious, yet empty man! A night he would always remember. A night that he came to realize that the Lord Jesus Christ was much more than a teacher - H...
