Anyone who has ever had to stand before a judge knows how uncomfortable and even terrifying it can be. How much more should we be concerned about a heavenly judge - the one who decides our soul's ultimate destiny? Yes, this Judge is Christ Himself - the very one sinned against, the very one rejected. It's a solemn thought. The fact that we are guilty as charged goes without saying - but...

One of the most ancient questions in the world was asked by Job in the old testament - "How can a man be just with God?" Or maybe we could say "How can I have my sins forgiven? How can I know that I will be in heaven?" The Lord Jesus told a story to illustrate what the answer was. You see, the answer to God's ancient question is Christ himself. It is through Christ that we...

The Christmas message is really a year round message - it's the message of the gospel - God's invitation to sinners to receive His only provision for sin - the Lord Jesus Christ! Christians remember Christ's birth all year round - and praise and thank God for ever sending His Son to come to this world and die at the place called Calvary to reconcile sinners back to Himself. What a w...

We can become so familiar with the Christmas story that we lose the awesome wonder of that day! And so many people miss the message completely - a message brought to us from heaven by angels no less! Tremendous news of a Saviour given “unto US”! Why would God even do this for sinners who hated and rejected Him? And who still do! Well, the only reason is in God’s great heart of love for sinners lik...

There is quite a touching account in the Old Testament of the love story between a man called Isaac and a woman called Rebekah. Abraham, Isaac's father, initiated a search throughout the land to find the perfect wife for his son. She believed the detailed description that she heard from the seeking servant and left all that pertained to her old life behind in order to follow the new love of h...

It is impossible to over-emphasize the importance of the Word of God when it comes to the salvation of the soul. It is only by depending on the authority of the Bible that sinners can firmly secure their faith as sure as an anchor holds fast to a giant rock. But not only do we need this firm foundation of our faith - we need to hear it for ourselves. We need to hear God speaking to us THROUGH His...

Every religion in our world today stresses the importance of the need to do something in order to obtain the approval of a divine being, the forgiveness for wrongdoings, or the attainment of spiritual peace within. The Bible, however, is very clear in its emphasis that there is nothing that we are able to do to please God, that we are spiritually bankrupt. Over and over again, the scriptures point...

Living in a troubled world as we do, we often have to face many perplexing issues that come our way. But what a comfort is provided us by the Word of God. In Psalm 46 we read, “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear ...” We trust that this searching meditation will be uplifting and encouraging to you as a believer in Christ. If you don’t yet know...

  Early in the gospel of John, we read these wonderful words spoken by John the Baptist, "Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world." It's as if God himself couldn't wait any longer to introduce to the reader His own well-beloved Son - and who He was - the lamb of God. Have you ever looked at your sins and failures and honestly acknowledged that you are a sinn...

Some people don’t want to hear any bad news. This can have serious consequences when it comes to spiritual matters. The Israelites also did this. They actually wanted their prophets to tell them only good things - or even lies - if it made them feel more comfortable. The true gospel message doesn’t necessarily make you feel good, but it is important to face facts. Only then will you enjoy the bles...

Today’s message explains the truths of the gospel very simply using just 4 words, and they each begin with the letter “L”. The first one is "lost" - making the uncomfortable discovery that you don’t know where you are or where you are going. The truth is, you are actually ‘lost’ long before you make that realization! This is what God is trying to get us to acknowledge. The gospel message...

We live in the same 'present evil world' that the Apostle Paul mentioned in Galatians 1:4. It's not going to change. Men and women have chosen to use their free will for themselves, placing themselves on the throne and disregarding their Creator. And because of this, we have been going down one dead end road after another, seeking for a 'life worth living'. But the true li...

The Bible speaks about wages - wages that each one of us earns. However, these wages are not the kind we look forward to. Death - the consequence of our sin and disobedience towards God. But it also speaks of a wonderful gift offered through Jesus Christ our Lord. Will you be content to take the wages of sin? Or will you look to the Christ of Calvary and receive the gift of eternal life that He al...

One of the beautiful pictures in the Bible is that of the Lord Jesus Christ as our great High Priest. Priests represent people before God – they stand in the place of the people. Did you know that Christ does that? Because He is sinless, He can come before God and plead for us. He does not need a sacrifice for His own sins. He had none. Instead, He has become a great sacrifice himself. He presente...

One of the simplest explanations of the gospel is found in Romans 6 and verse 23: "The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Basically, that is all you need to know of the gospel message to pass from spiritual death to spiritual life. As the old adage goes: "Life is short; death is sure. Sin the cause; Christ the cure." So wh...

There are many calls that we hear from God’s word. Have you ever heard them? In today’s broadcast, the first call we hear is from the prodigal son – a famine and voice from the earth, Luke 15. And then, at a great banquet in Luke 14 - a feast and a voice from heaven. And lastly, from the lost sinner – a flame and a voice from hell - the words of the Lord Jesus Christ from Luke 16. And what about G...

Solomon, the son of the well-known and beloved King David, was determined to find out what life was all about. He was known as the wisest man who ever lived. On top of all that, he grew up in the lap of luxury in a palace with servants at his beck and call. But Solomon wanted more - so he pursued all the businesses and pleasures his heart could imagine. At the end of it all, he lamented "Vani...

Anyone who reads the Bible is familiar with the Apostle Paul - the fanatical Pharisee who hunted and persecuted Christians before he came into personal contact with the Lord Jesus Christ himself. After this, Paul spent the rest of his days seeking to persuade the Jews and others to understand and believe what he had come to know about Christ and God's salvation. This week’s message looks at a...

The Christian faith is very clear on this one important fact - that there is salvation in nothing or no one else but the Lord Jesus Christ. Acts 4:12 states: "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." Man's universal problem is sin - and sin must be put away if we are to be on the right terms with a...

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 cried...

True Christianity is a whole lot more than adherence to a set of scriptural doctrines about God and how we should live our lives. Christianity revolves around a person - the Lord Jesus Christ - and our relationship with God through Him.  Many people like to think of themselves as Christians because they believe ABOUT Christ - that He came to earth from heaven to save us from our sin. But the real...

We are faced with many mundane decisions on a daily basis. Most are not that important, but there is a choice that will affect us well beyond on lives here - that will affect us for eternity - the decision to make the welfare of our soul the priority. Yet, most people don't give a moment's thought to where they will be after they die. We hope that today YOU will take the time, here and n...

The Bible is filled with the theme of the precious blood of Christ. It is pictured in the Old Testament and seen with clarity in the New. Without the shedding of blood there is no remission for sin. It's why Christ came - to pay the price for sin on our behalf. Have you accepted the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus, His death upon the cross as payment for YOUR sin? That is what it means to be a Ch...

Salvation is only open to those who come "as a sinner" to Jesus. In our world today, there is so much emphasis on 'living and let live' as it were. No one wants to be corrected or questioned in any way. Well, the Bible makes it clear that we all belong under the classification of 'sinners', whether we like the term or not. That makes us all condemned. God longs to emb...

The Lord Jesus Christ in His attempt to reach sinners of all intellects and educational levels, gave illustrations that were simple enough for even children to understand. One example is when He refers to Himself as a “door” – an entrance way, if you will – into heaven. But please notice that he goes further than to call himself a door – he calls Himself THE door. Yes, Christ says that the demands...
