Some of the most important truths regarding God's way of salvation was revealed by the Lord Jesus Christ to a religious Jewish rabbi. Nicodemus had three important questions for Christ to answer that go something like this: "You came from God, right?", "How can a man be born again when he is old?", and "How is the new birth possible in my life?" The Lord Jesus Ch...

Today’s message looks at some crisis moments in the lives of Joshua, Samuel and David in which their strength of commitment to the will of God became evident. All three of them make the amazing statement “As for me”. Yes, they decided to follow after God, whatever the cost. But consider God’s side of this commitment. David wrote in Psalm 18 – “As for God, His way is perfect.” The Lord will guide t...

The story of the prodigal son is really a picture of how we, as sinners, have strayed away from God and desire to live our lives just as we choose - without God. It's a sad commentary on the human heart. Just like the prodigal, we take all the good things that the Father has provided for us and leave for the 'far country' to spend our time and resources on things that just don'...

In today's 'post-modern' society, the greatest casualty of departure from God is 'truth'. Everything has become very relative - what's good for you or truth for you, may not be so for me. There is no solid basis for establishing objective reality - just changing opinions that suit our particular mindset at any particular time. How sad this is - and how tragic! We hope...

Last week we discovered that the Bible has a lot to say about the very special commodity of time. First, that we need to learn lessons from our ‘time past’, and then use the ‘rest of our days’ in service to the Lord. Dr. Higgins continues with his subject today, specifically talking about our ‘leisure time’ in terms of purpose, priorities and pitfalls.

How often we, as Christians, fall into the snare of wasting the precious time we have, usually through making poor choices in how we spend it - for ourselves and not for the Lord. But we can also become ensnared by our past failures and regrets that prevent us from moving forward in our walk for the Lord. The answer is maintaining the pre-eminence of Christ in our lives. This gives us the joy, str...

One of the most pointed questions in our Bible was penned by the writer of Hebrews in Chapter 2 and verse 3 -"How shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation?" Just 10 words but what a tremendous question to consider! Evangelist Marvin Derksen primarily takes up the last 3 words of this question - 'so great salvation'. Yes, the salvation of God is so great in its source, i...

"Amazing Grace" is more than just a popular hymn - it's a living reality that has come right alongside each one of us. God's love for the undeserving has been revealed and expressed in the greatest of ways. Yes, there is grace - God's amazing grace - that has provided a wonderful salvation for poor sinners. Are you rejoicing in God's wonderful grace?

In Philippians 3:8, Paul says, “I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord.” These are the words of a man who was consumed with learning more about the Lord Jesus Christ. And as forgiven sinners we also desire to know our wonderful Saviour more and more. Are you growing in your faith and witnessing to the lost all around you? We hope that today’s messag...

Our broadcast today takes us back to the ancient city of Nineveh and the day there was a strange visitor at its gates. His name was Jonah - and he had come to Nineveh on a mission. And his arrival affected the entire population. God still uses His messengers to intersect lives today. 

Nothing is more central to the theme of the Bible than the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. It has been said to be the focal point of all the ages. Today's message takes up how God ‘chose’ the cross to be the expression of His extreme love for us; how Christ ‘chose’ the cross out of devotion to His Father God and the desire for our blessing. And lastly, how we, as believers should ‘choose’ the...
