The Old Testament prophetically speaks about the Messiah who would come to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. The one whom God would send to take care of our greatest problem – the problem of sin – and whom God would later glorify and set on the highest throne of heaven in greatest exaltation over His enemies. Of course, this speaks of Christ – yes, the meek and lowly Jesus. He’s coming bac...

Well, if you have ever read the book of Genesis, you will know that you are not too many pages into the book before you witness the first murder ever committed in this world. What a sad commentary on the effects of sin in the lives of human beings! Today's message examines the story of Cain and Abel in some detail and finds that it actually reveals to us the origin of the world's first r...

The term “born again” is well-known in our society today. It has unfortunately taken on a number of definitions and meanings, most of which have nothing to do with what the scriptures say. It was the Lord Jesus himself who gave the command. So, what does Jesus say about this scriptural imperative? 

Do you know what makes Christianity different from every other belief system in the world? Well, there are many things, really.  But there is one major difference – grace! Yes, the concept of God’s unmerited favour towards the undeserving is something that is wonderfully unique to the Christian message – the gospel of the grace of God! Tune in as Mr. Derksen takes up this wonderful truth from the...

The Bible claims that people are actually slaves – slaves to ourselves - to our own selfish desires - slaves to sin. The Bible says that this is a bondage that we cannot escape through our own efforts. But there is a Saviour that God has provided. Christ came to save you from your sins and to give you freedom indeed. Have you been freed from YOUR shackles of sin? Have you ever had a time in your l...

What is your world view? How do you interpret and make sense of how the world operates? How do you look at life and circumstances that come your way? We all have one – a perspective about the world – a world view. But what is the world view of the Bible believing Christian? How does a vital connection with the God of heaven influence our assessment of and interaction with the world around us?

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...

Are we all "children of God"? Well, we certainly are all God's creatures, but unfortunately, we possess the family likeness of our sinful forbears - a fallen, sinful nature. The Bible is clear that we need a second birth to bring us into the family of God. A birth from above. A spiritual birth. One that brings us into the family of God with the likeness of His Son. Has there ever be...

You know, the Lord doesn't require a lot from any one of us. In fact, He would like us to know just ONE thing. One thing. Sadly, many people don't know even this one thing. In fact, when people hear the clear truth of the gospel - that we are sinners and have offended God, that we need to acknowledge this and turn from our sin and trust Christ to save us, they come up with MANY, MANY thi...

In today’s prevailing atmosphere of virtual experiences, cyber games, AI technology, and online relationships, it’s becoming harder to get people to face life’s true realities - realities that are not always easy to accept. People will often prefer to deny the hard facts of life. We want you to know that not all of reality is doom and gloom. Indeed, true reality involves all of the fullness of lif...

The Lord Jesus once told a parable about a great supper prepared and ready, but all the invited guests made up different excuses not to come. Just like the man in the parable, God has also provided us with all that we need for eternity through the priceless gift of His own Son. Will you also begin to make excuse? Or will you gladly accept this wonderful invitation and enter into the banquet room f...

There is a wonderful verse in the Bible, 1 Peter 3:18 - "For Christ also has once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God". Yes, Christ has suffered the momentous judgment of God against sin, opening the way for repentant sinners to avail of God's great gift of salvation. In this week's message, Phil Coulson looks at some Old Testament illustra...

This week's message is the personal story of conversion of a young man who was facing emptiness in a life of nightclubs and drugs, and battling despair in the philosophies and religions of men. Evangelist Larry Perkins tells us his story of how he was found by the Lord Jesus Christ and given new life and new hope by receiving Christ personally as his own Saviour.              

The Gospel message is quite clear on this one point - we are ALL quite responsible here and now for what we do with God's offer, and more importantly, what we do with Christ. In today's message, speaker Gaius Goff takes a look at the 'Three Strong Wills' in our lives - God's will, the devil's will, and our will. You can be certain that God desires your salvation and w...

Isaiah, one of the major prophets, spoke extensively about things to come before they actually happened! And this included many details about the Saviour – His characteristics and His ministry here on earth. Some have referred to his writings as “The Gospel according to Isaiah” and they are certainly right! If you’ve never read Isaiah, Chapter 53, we’d urge you to. It starts with a compelling and...

In Ephesians 1:7 we read these amazing words – “In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.”  Yes, it can be a present reality for everyone who hears this message today.  What greater possession than having the forgiveness of sins and peace with God? Listen to the teaching about this great redemption here today.

The gospel message is full of superlatives. Its importance, its magnificence, and its consequences are all of an incomprehensible order of magnitude. It involves love's highest expression - the unbounded love of God shown to us in the person of His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. And it is expressed most fully at the cross of Calvary where the Lord Jesus Christ suffered and died for the ungodly....

There are many ways to handle the complexities of life - many ways of looking at or trying to make sense of the world around us. There is polytheism, secularism, humanism, and post-modernism to name a few. But all these fall short in fulfilling our greatest need - the need for forgiveness. The simple answer lies in John Chapter 10 which tells us clearly of the only Door to heaven. Who is this door...

Well, life has often been described as a journey, hasn’t it? Whether long or short, we just do not know. Along the pathway there are many intersections that we cross – intersections that affect our lives in definite ways. In today’s broadcast, speaker Marvin Derksen brings us the gospel message with a focus on DIVINE intersections in our lives. How marvellous that God should ever choose to interse...

The Lord Jesus told many stories to give us apt illustrations of ourselves. In the parable of the good Samaritan, there is a poor man ambushed on the road and left destitute. There were two people who came across the poor man, but they did nothing to help him. At last, there was a despised Samaritan who freely gave of himself to save the dying man. Who do these people in the parable represent? And...

The well known story in the Bible of Zacchaeus is about much more than how a short man climbed a tree to see Jesus. It's all about a sinner who earnestly sought out the Saviour, an individual tired of his sins, a rich man sick of his money who wanted instead the true riches of God's salvation. And, yes, it's also about a seeking Saviour - one who came specifically to seek and to sav...

The apostle Paul was a tremendous evangelist and wrote a large portion of the New Testament explaining the doctrines of the gospel. Many people have gotten saved through the wonderful verses that the Holy Spirit led him to write - verses of conviction and verses of salvation. This episode looks at three verses in 2 Corinthians that explains for us the wonderful gospel message with simplicity and c...

Are you rich towards God? It's certainly possible not to be. In fact, if we are still sinners - if we have never been saved - then, we are definitely not rich towards Him. Our lives would be all taken up with ourselves - our own pleasures and plans. Lord Jesus Christ told a parable about such a person. Sadly, he forgot to take God into account and the Lord Jesus calls him a fool. Tragically,...

In today’s broadcast, we will be considering one of Jesus’ parables – the story of the sower and the seed. The sower threw his seed on different types of ground – hard, stony, and thorny. But the crop in each case failed. Not that there was anything wrong with the seed – no, the problem was with heart of the listener. Only when falling on GOOD ground, could the seed germinate, take root and grow....

It is not only in the New Testament's proclamation of the gospel that we hear about man's need and God's remedy. It is also found in the beloved book of Psalms. Today we will be looking at the 6 short verses of Psalm 53 and find there seven important truths about the subject of sin and God's attitude toward it. It will not be a pretty picture of mankind, but it's an import...
