The gospel always begins with God. He is the One who prepared the way of salvation and initiated it in sending His Son. He is the one who follows sinners and brings them to the place where they have the opportunity to receive Christ as Saviour and be reconciled to God. Yes, there is only one way - the way of the cross of Christ - that can bring sinners back to God. Not wishful thinking, not works,...

God’s salvation is not a complicated process. In fact, it’s not a process at all. It happens in a moment of time. But the basic and vital ingredient is the acknowledgment on the part of the sinner of his lost position before God. There must be the confession of guilt and helplessness to save ourselves. It is not Christ PLUS what we can do. It must be Christ alone. Our mouths ‘must be stopped’. Cas...

The Bible makes it clear to us that we have ALL transgressed the right ways of God. We are not naturally on good terms with Him. Not that it is ever GOD'S fault. WE are the ones who have moved away from God's laws. Because of this, the Bible commands us to 'be reconciled to God' - to have our differences cleared away - to make everything right between us and God. But how can we...

In the book of Lamentations, Chapter 1 and verse 12 we read these poignant words prophetically spoken in reference to the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary. “Is it nothing to you which pass by?” What a pitiful cry from the suffering Saviour! There is almost a sense of disbelief in the question. How could anyone possibly pass by and not be affected by the scene before them? Yet, sadly, in i...

Who could ever plumb the depths of the words and thoughts of God Almighty? Yet, God has presented His Word to us in such a way that we are able to understand the simple truths necessary to be right with Him. For example, in the book of Psalms He has placed several markers (by using the term ‘selah’) to help us realize that we should stop and think over what we have just read. Yes, God doesn’t want...

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...

In the gospel of Matthew Chapter 18 and verse 3, the Lord Jesus Christ says, "Verily, I say unto you, except ye be converted and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven." Does this sound like a very strange statement to you? What did Christ mean? Well, it is certainly very important for us to know what it means because He is presenting us with an imperati...

This message will be looking at a beautiful verse in 1 Peter 3:18 which says this: "For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit." Here is the entire gospel message in one verse! And what a wonderful source of hope it is to an individual, maybe somebody like you, who is lo...

Well, it's really not hard to see problems, hardships, and sadness everywhere in our world today at least from a Biblical view. It is sin. Yes, an out-dated word to many - but call it by any other name, its ugly character still remains, and it seriously affects every aspect of our lives. In this broadcast we will be taking a look at how this mess got started in the first place by looking at t...

One of the primary differences between a man-made religion and the gospel of the grace of God is in one simple word – done. You see the work of salvation has already been provided in the death of Christ on the cross of Calvary. It is “through Him” alone that we can be saved. Today’s gospel message takes a look at the basics of the gospel message – the sin problem, a holy God, the need for all of u...

One of the biggest problems in gospel preaching is for people to get what God is trying to tell them - they are sinners and their 'good' works are unable to get them one step closer to heaven. God can never compromise His standard of righteousness. There is only one who ever lived who pleased God in all respects - One who was as perfect as God Himself. Yes, it was the Lord Jesus Christ....

The life story of every Christian can be divided into 3 separate time periods. The first one is the time of life spent ‘WITHOUT Christ’. We all arrived into the world as sinners, and as such, separated from God - without God and without hope in the world. What a sad condition indeed! But, after we acknowledge our sin and trust Christ, the Bible describes us as ‘IN Christ’. And what a glorious trut...

In this week's broadcast, we are considering an interview between the Lord Jesus Christ and a man called Nicodemus. There is some shock factor in the conversation and Nicodemus felt it. You see Nicodemus approached the Lord as merely a teacher that could teach him more about God. He wasn’t prepared for the Lord’s pronouncement – “You must be born again.” But how wonderful that Nicodemus respo...

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...

There are so many voices that clamour to be heard these days as we experience a worldwide pandemic. It can be both overwhelming and confusing. But we would like you to know that today’s message on Anchorpoint will not be changed into a different one tomorrow. And the truths you hear will not be fake or misrepresentations of reality. God has given us His unchanging Word – it is faithful and worthy...

You know, the gospel message basically contains three elements – the problem of sin, what God in grace has done about it, and the responsibility of the sinner to repent and receive God’s offer of forgiveness. Some people hear the glorious gospel message and receive it with joy. They see it as the answer to all their sin and their need. But, you know, others (maybe most) people have to come to some...

According to the Bible, the good news of the Gospel involves four basic truths. And what wonderful truths they are! First, we have an interest expressed on the part of God Himself. Yes, it all starts with ‘God so loved the world”. Secondly, there was the will of God put into action – that is, a plan was made from eternity past to deliver men and women from the bondage of sin. Then, of course, ther...

Here's one question that you weren't likely asked today - Are your sins forgiven? Yes, your sins. Are they forgiven? On today's broadcast, we will be considering what the Bible has to say about forgiveness - WHY is it necessary? HOW can I get it? Important questions that we would like you to face honestly today. The Lord Jesus said that He has power "on earth" to forgiven...

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...

Psalm 86:5 is a lovely verse. "For Thou Lord art good and ready to forgive, and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon Thee." Do you believe it? Are you harbouring some notion that God is NOT good? That God is out to get you or to make your life miserable? Or that God is somehow reluctant to forgive you? If so, you need to change your mind about the God of the Bible. What does t...

People often look at today’s sad world and ask the question, “Why doesn’t God DO something about it?”  Well, He has! God has provided a remedy for the ultimate cause of all our sorrow – sin. First, God ‘commands’ – that is, He has made His wishes known – that all men and women should repent – or turn from their sin. Secondly, God ‘commends’. That is, He has commended or expressed to us His great l...

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...

The gospel message has not changed over time. People still need to have their sins forgiven in order to go to heaven. They need to receive spiritual life from God that they cannot attain on their own. The gospel preached by the apostle Paul contained the same elements as the message is comprised of today. And he depended on the power of the Word of God to reach the hearts of sinners, just as we do...

Have you ever heard the call of God? Sometimes we don't realize that we're hearing it. The circumstances in life contain the call of God to us - both good times and bad times. Sometimes it's a whisper, sometimes it's a shout. Have YOU ever been made aware of God's call to YOU? But God's call comes mainly through His Word. He touches our hearts with truths that we all...
