Some people complain that the Bible is hard to understand - that it takes years to study the scriptures to figure these things out. Well, these individuals need to read just one verse to dispel that notion.1 Timothy 1:15 says "This is a faithful saying that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners of whom I am chief". Why did the Lord Jesus Christ come into this world? To save si...

The Bible speaks very simply of two roads and two destinies. One road is broad and very crowded. It has room for everybody’s opinions and ideas. It has room for every pleasure and distraction you can think of. Unfortunately, multitudes choose this road. It's easy and it steadily flows along day after day as we pursue our own desires. However, the other road is narrow. There’s no room for a hu...

Whenever people hear the gospel presented there is always a choice to be made. Facts are given about their need and about God’s remedy. Information is given concerning the person and life of Christ and why He is worthy of your trust. But, in the end, the choice comes down to the individual. You and me. No one else can answer for us. Are you willing to accept and believe the Gospel today? 

 The Bible often uses metaphors to describe for us the kind of people that believers ought to be as representatives of God.   In this week's broadcast, we will learn how words ‘sweet savour’, ‘letters’, ‘vessels’, ‘ambassadors' apply to our lives as Christians as we seek to win souls for Christ.

Apart from the events surrounding the birth of Christ, we hear little about Mary throughout the scriptures. She was at the wedding feast in Cana of Galilee, at the cross, and in the upper room after Christ's resurrection. But not much else. But we can learn a lot from this humble village maiden. Check out this week's message on "Mary, Handmaid of the Lord" - with speaker Peter...

Who doesn’t like the old, familiar hymn with the catchy tune “We Three Kings of Orient are”? It conjures up images of bejewelled noblemen riding on stately ornamented camels, each with a gift in their hands. Well, the real story from the Bible is a lot different from that. Yes, there were “wise men” or magi that actually made that arduous journey in search for a King, a Messiah. But their quest wa...

Not only during the Christmas season but also throughout the year, believers on the Lord Jesus Christ often are gripped with the reality of how God really came into the world as a human being - and the implications it has on their souls and on their lives. That simple story teaches many truths that have practical implications in our lives as believers. Today's message looks specifically at th...

It is so important to have right thoughts about Christ. This has a direct bearing not only on our eternal welfare but also on our daily Christian walk. The unsaved certainly do not think rightly about Him. Sadly their thoughts are confused and distorted concerning this lovely Person. Believers can also not fully appreciate His grace and awesomeness. The conclusion to this devotional message should...

The resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ is undoubtedly the most contested Bible truth among skeptics. Untold books have been written attempting to discredit this clearly presented Bible event, but none have succeeded. Today's broadcast looks at the arguments often put forward in the attempt to disprove Christ's resurrection. We will let the evidence stand for itself!

It is no secret that the Lord Jesus Christ divides. Wherever Christ went and whatever He said caused people to take sides – for or against. His message was so clear, so authoritative. A decision just had to be made. And it’s true today as well. Yes, everywhere Christ went, “there was a division because of Him”. So, where do YOU stand? Are you among the unbelievers who found every opportunity to fi...

There is not a truth more fundamental to the Christian faith than the truth of the resurrection of Christ. And it is especially at this time of year that millions around the world are confronted with this amazing claim - many with joy and thanksgiving at the blessed hope of the risen Christ, but others who refuse to believe what the Bible says. How important it is that Christians not only have a f...

1 Timothy 2:5 says, "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus." How much is contained in this statement! First, there is one God. This seems like an odd statement when we consider all the religions in the world. How can this be? Secondly, this verse tells us about one go-between - between man and God - and that person is the Lord Jesus Christ. Do y...

Are you uncomfortable with the word 'saved'? Kind of a drastic word, isn't it? Yet, it's a scriptural term. This week's broadcast considers the word "saved" in a number of different contexts - the fact that you must be saved in order to be in heaven, that there is the possibility that all sinners might be saved through Christ, that believing sinners will certainl...

Everyone who is going to heaven has a story to tell – a story of how they first heard the gospel message and how they responded to it in saving faith. Today’s Anchorpoint is about a person who was born in a Christian home and was familiar with the gospel message since his youth. Sadly, it is possible to know ABOUT the way of salvation, but never to know the Saviour personally. We hope that this te...

  What is the value of the soul? Well, the Word of God doesn’t even attempt to give an answer. The Lord Jesus just summed it up by saying that the total of everything this world has to offer just doesn’t compare to worth of a soul. These are extremely important truths to consider, and we hope that this week's will help you to think about them and to apply them personally.

How do you imagine heaven? A place of never-ending rest – a kind of celestial retirement home? Or maybe a place where you can do whatever you want? A place of beautiful architecture, scenery, and music? Well, what does the Bible say? After all, it IS God’s heaven. Has He not told us something of what that place is really like? Well, yes, He has. But does God’s description fit yours? You may be sur...

In our broadcast today, speaker Stephen Harper looks at three questions that arose in the account of the blind man who was healed at the Pool of Siloam. The first one was “Who sinned?” – a question we should all take to heart regarding our own personal sin. Next, “How were your eyes opened? Basically, the man was asked to give his testimony – his account of meeting Jesus. Everyone wanted to know w...

At Anchorpoint, we are seeking to clarify the Gospel message. The Bible says that you can know for sure that you are saved and ready to meet God. In our message today, speaker Phil Coulson explains how that God’s salvation is so simple, even a child can be saved. He tells us the story describing how, as a child, he came to know Christ as his Saviour. We hope that you enjoy this captivating story.

Apart from the cross itself, there can be no more poignant a symbol of the horrendous sufferings of Christ than the awful crown of thorns that He wore. The hymn writer wrote, "See from His head, His hands, His feet; sorrow and love flow mingled down; Did e'er such love and sorrow meet; Or thorns compose so rich a crown?" It was an instrument of pain, mockery and reproach that came f...

Over 2000 years ago, the apostle Paul was walking through the city of Athens looking at all the idols set up there when he came across one with a strange inscription, “The Unknown God”. Paul took the opportunity to preach to the people about the God that he knew and appreciated personally but was yet unknown to the people around him. Who exactly IS this God? What is He like? Does He play any part...

One of the most stirring questions in the entire Bible was once asked by the Lord Jesus Christ when He said, "What shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?" It is difficult to think of a question that contains such stakes - such weighty issues. The answer should be obvious, shouldn't it? But, sadly, many people go through life without ever asking...

Sometimes people struggle with the Biblical term 'saved'. Often, this is simply because they don't quite get the concept of being lost. If I am saved, then it certainly implies that there was something I needed to be saved from. And there is. We all need to be saved from a purposeless life, from the unhappy consequences of sin here on earth, and most of all from the eternal conseque...

The Bible speaks openly about sin and various kinds of separation that it causes.  One inevitable separation is called death - something that we all have to face.  But there is also the eternal separation of the unsaved in a place of judgment - hell. Wonderfully, the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ comes between our sin and God.  He has bridged the great separation of sin that keeps us ou...

God wants us to know Him and He has given us the intelligence to learn about the world that He has made. Belief in God does not hinder science - it actually motivates us to discover more about how the world works. In this week’s episode, Mr. Michael Penfold further discusses some of the current issues in the scientific field relating to the origin of life.

Scientists have studied the origin of life for years and are still trying to find answers. Atheistic scientists are determined to show that life somehow arose spontaneously from non-life. But there is only one problem with this anti-theistic approach. The scientific evidence does not support it!  Listen to this week’s message on this controversial topic.
