Salvation is a gift from God, given to sinners who acknowledge their sin and admit their need. Yet, sometimes doubts may arise. In this week's broadcast, a solution is given - to focus on the work of Christ for safety, the Word of God for security, and the witness of the Spirit for enjoyment!  

The book of Acts contains many of the apostle Paul's sermons to various individuals. This message concerns his gospel presentation to a certain King Agrippa. Sadly, Agrippa made a tragic decision. He rejected God's free offer of forgiveness which he so desperately needed. Yes, it’s possible to be ALMOST persuaded to receive the message of the Gospel – to ALMOST accept Christ as Lord and...

All of us who know the God of the Bible in any measure have come to one simple conclusion – God is good! Not only do we read this over and over again in the Bible both as fact as well as from numerous scriptural examples, we also know it from our own experience. Bur the Bible also speaks of the ‘severity’ of God – the result of His unbending holiness in dealing with sin. Which will you experience?...

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.

Today’s message focuses our attention on the baby in Bethlehem’s manger and the staggering mystery of the incarnation. Why did He come – the babe in the manger? Well, for revelation – to show us the character of God in all His beauty and glory; for redemption – to put away our sins by the sacrifice of Himself; and for relationship – to invite you to trust Him and come into His family. We hope that...

Christians love to sing about Jesus. Why is this? Because we love Him, of course! And that Name contains all of what God IS and what a poor sinner needs. In Isaiah 9:6 we read, “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder, and His Name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, the Mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace.” Our mess...

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...

Apart from almost being an archaic word these days, the word 'sin' is tremendously misunderstood. First of all, most people dislike the use of the word, but redefining 'sin' will never get rid of its existence and its effects in our lives. The Bible says that all sin is disobedience and rebellion against God. It is missing the mark as to God's standard and intention for ma...

Many still believe that God is against them and it’s easy for them to grumble and complain about their circumstances even when God had been good to them over and over again. This is exactly what the children of Israel did on their journey to the promised land so many years ago. For this ingratitude, God had venomous snakes invade the camp and many people were bitten; many died.    But when they cr...

In this week's broadcast, we will be looking at some of the last words of the Saviour on the cross - “It is finished”. So what exactly WAS finished there that day? Well, there were the finished prophecies, the finished pain, the finished payment for sin, and the finished purpose for which He came. Best of all, God wants you to know that the work of salvation itself is finished. It's alre...

Have you ever thought about the Lord Jesus Christ - His person and His claims? We hope so. Anybody who thinks seriously about questions concerning life, death, and eternity would certainly have to consider Him. Questions like - Who is He? Where is He? What do I think of Him? What will I do with Him? Your eternity depends on your answers.

There is a word used quite often in the Bible - and there's good reason for it. The word is 'whosoever' and it's used to make its timeless message personal to all who read it. There are at least five kinds of 'whosoevers' mentioned. We trust that evangelist Marvin Derksen's message will help you decide which of the Bible 'whosoevers' that you would like...

The Bible is God's wonderful message to mankind, telling of a Saviour who has come to take away sin and bring us back to God.  How tremendous the gospel message is! But there is more! You see, this same Jesus who rose from the dead and ascended into heaven is coming back again. Just as He left! In bodily form. He is coming back to receive the church living on earth - those who trusted in Him...

We need to look at our lives as God does - as totally devastated by the ravages of sin in our hearts.  Does that sound extreme?  Maybe, but we would do well to consider sin as what the Bible defines it to be in all its ugliness. In response to our enormous problem of sin, God was willing to go the extreme distance to meet our need.  Christ came to bridge the immeasurable distance that separates us...

Many atheists today have launched an all-out attack on the truths of the Bible and the very foundations upon which it is based. Scriptural truth has always been assailed down through the ages - and the Bible itself speaks of the forms of unbelief we can expect. Today’s message looks at the atheistic attitudes of today and compares them to what we read in Romans Chapter 1- and the parallels are ast...

This week’s message is a comparison of the atheistic attitudes of today and what we read in Romans Chapter 1. Mankind's unbelieving response to truth is revealed in all its fullness there. Despite 24/7 revelation from God, people still choose to reject it, suppress it, or change it into something else. There's more to the statement, "I don't believe there is a God" than me...

What is the most valuable thing in the whole world to you? Well, the Lord Jesus Christ gives us a heavenly perspective on this question. And He wants us to imagine for a moment that we own the whole world. Now that would be quite a thing, wouldn't it? To own the whole world and have everything at our disposal! Yet, there is something far greater in value. Listen to His question tonight, “What...

If we asked you “Where are your sins?”, what would your answer be? Surely, you wouldn’t respond that you don’t have any sins. God says we all do – and if you’re honest, you would have to agree – totally. The Bible is clear on this description of us. And sins become heavier as time goes on – they accumulate, they get entangled.  They make life complicated and messed up. What burdens they are! How c...

There is a beautiful verse in Isaiah 1:18 and it says, “Come now, let us reason together”, says the Lord, “Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.” It’s no less than the Lord God of heaven who is speaking here and – imagine – He is wanting to reason with us - poor sinners. He is making an offer to provide us with a sla...

Well, today’s message is a beautiful one as it centers on the place that God centers – it brings us to the cross of Calvary. The cross where the Lord Jesus Christ shed His precious blood for guilty sinners such as you and me. Does Calvary mean anything to you personally? Or is it nothing more to you than an event in history - something that happened to Jesus many years ago? Or does it mean EVERYTH...

You know, as human beings, we all have the ability to look into the future somewhat, become aware of what just may happen to us and our loved ones, and make the necessary preparations. It’s the only wise thing to do. We often we prepare for things that MIGHT happen to us. What about things that surely WILL happen? Have you prepared for SPIRITUAL realities? For your day of departure from this life?...

The gospel message is basically the retelling of a report that God has given to man - a report concerning His way of salvation. It's not a list of do's and don'ts or of a set of beliefs and practices you must follow to become a member of a church group. His report is given throughout the entire Bible, beginning long ago with the prophets, right up to the time of Christ and beyond wi...

In Acts Chapter 4 we read one of the earliest gospel messages ever preached. The apostle Peter declared, “Neither is there salvation in any other; for there is no other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” It was short and to the point – we need to be saved - and the only Person Who provides that salvation is the Lord Jesus Christ. 

It's amazing how the prominent atheists of our day are trying to promote the idea that faith means believing without evidence - just a leap in the dark, as it were. This is categorically false when it comes to biblical faith. Christianity is based on solid, eye-witness testimony of individuals who were in direct contact with Jesus Christ. And the gospel writers put their experiences on paper...

It is always important, when considering a particular teaching or line of thought - on any subject - to go back and test the ORIGIN of that teaching or thought. If you've ever wondered about certain religious systems, for example, be sure to research the history behind those systems. On today's Anchorpoint, we will explore the solid historical background of the Christian faith and the si...
