The gospel message does not require an intellectual understanding of Bible truth. It is an invitation for a personal relationship with the God of the universe. As with all personal interactions, there must be honesty. God knows all, so there's no use in trying to hide anyway. So, it's best to come clean. In this week’s broadcast, we will be looking at three simple statements starting wit...

The broadcast this week at three very important truths from the Word of God. They basically comprise the gospel message. These are God’s wrath, God’s justice, and God’s grace. The Bible alludes to these topics time and time again. Yet, many today downplay God’s holiness and displeasure with sin. The cross of Calvary is hardly ever thought of in terms of God’s eternal justice being satisfied on our...

I’m sure we all agree that we live in a troubled and broken world. Though it has always been that way, it seems that things just keep getting worse. It is certainly not at all what God intended for mankind. Our sin and depravity have devastated our beautiful planet, but even more so, our lives, futures, hopes, relationships – and most of all, ourselves! On occasions we read in the Bible of how the...

Today’s topic is about something that we’re sure most thinking people would like to know more about. It’s all about eternal life. After all, who wouldn’t want to live forever? To be in a place of no sorrow and suffering for all eternity? Right? Well, you will see from our message today that eternal life is much more than that. Yes, it is only available from God himself, but it is so much more than...

You know, sheep and shepherds were commonplace in Bible times. It is easy to see the contrast between the sheep and the shepherd. Sheep are helpless, weak, and needy creatures. They commonly lose their way and become easy targets for hungry predators. We are a lot like sheep. And spiritually we are easy prey for the devil who as a roaring lion seeks for those he can devour. On the other hand, we h...

The Lord Jesus Christ was and is the most truly unique person in the universe. He was the one and only Son of God. From His unique conception to His unique death, there was never anybody like Him on any level. No one can compare to Jesus. What a wonderful Saviour He is, my friend. To miss Him is to miss the whole purpose that God has in store for you. To miss Him is to be separated from God eterna...

 You know, when the Lord Jesus Christ was born into this world, it was the first time that men and women, like you and I, could physically see and touch Him. The apostle John spoke about how he and the other disciples actually “handled” the Lord. So, how about YOU? How do you handle Christ?  Do you handle Him with reverence, adoration, and gratitude? Do you handle Him as YOUR Saviour? We hope so!

If you’ve ever read John chapter 3, you will find three imperatives there that are vital for all of us to understand. The first one is the necessity for every one of us to have spiritual life – we MUST be born again. John goes on to give another vital mandate in this chapter – this time regarding the Lord Jesus himself – when He said that He MUST be lifted up. Why? And the third imperative is all...

The word ‘saved’ is a very weighty word in the Bible. But it is used very often. In fact, the disciples often asked the Lord Jesus questions about what it means to be saved. He emphasized to them the importance of making it a priority in life – even impressing upon them that they needed to ‘strive’ to enter in. This means that we need to take the gospel message personally and seriously. Have you? 

The Lord Jesus Christ was the Great Physician. He took away diseases. He gave strength to crippled limbs. He calmed the broken heart. The message this week concerns the miraculous healing of a man born blind. But, more importantly, the man received spiritual vision – and came to believe on Christ the Lord and worship Him. Yes, just like the old gospel hymn says – I once was blind, but now I see -...

The Lord Jesus told the most riveting stories and parables. As the ultimate teacher, His teachings hit home in the hearts of those that heard – really heard – what He was trying to tell them. One such story was about a grand wedding feast prepared by a King for His son. He intended for everyone to come. The invitation went out, “All things are ready – Come”! He had covered the cost of absolutely e...

The message preached by the early church was a simple and yet triumphant one. They preached Christ “and Him crucified”. Christ bore our iniquities. He suffered for every one. How marvellous is the story of the grace of God! The Sovereign of the universe closed His eyes in death for the vilest sinner on earth. You find it hard to believe? It’s what the gospel teaches, my friend. Turn your increduli...

God’s handiwork in creation was perfect in every way – and He gave it His stamp of approval from the very beginning – “God saw that it was good”. So, what happened between then and now? Well, just one small word actually – sin. Yes, sin entered the world and destroyed the paradise that God intended for man. But as soon as sin entered – through Adam – the promise was made of a Redeemer who would re...

You know, it’s hard for some people to grasp the biblical truth that no one gets to heaven by anything that they do. Good works or a pious life can never atone for sins. Not one. It can be a hard pill to swallow. If you read Romans chapter 4, you will read about Abraham who was justified by faith alone. He believed God, and God counted it to him for righteousness. There was nothing that he could d...

The prophet, Isaiah, over 750 years before the birth of Christ, foretold the Saviour who would come and what would happen to Him. He would be rejected and despised. He would be crucified. He would carry our sorrows. He would bare our iniquities. Isaiah asked a probing question, “Who has believed this report?” The same question can be asked today whenever the gospel is preached. Who is going to bel...

Isn’t it a wonderful thing that the most powerful, most awesome God of the universe is a God of grace? How dreadful it would be if He were a tyrant God or simply one who didn’t care much about us or what is going on in our world. No, He is intimately involved with every detail of our lives and infinitely concerned about our destinies. As sinners, we could never draw close to God. We could never en...

One of the most gracious invitations given by the Saviour to poor sinners is this, “Come unto Me, all ye who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). What a weary and laden down world we live in! So much unrest and fear. So much covert frustration and anger because of the failure to have our greatest needs satisfied. Our  spiritual needs. We need peace and rest in our...

One of the most important things that listeners have to remember when they consider the gospel is its utmost urgency. The Lord Jesus Christ exhorted His hearers to seek FIRST the kingdom of God. To strive to enter in. Not to count on the fact that tomorrow will always come. The gospel is not just something to sit back and consider at a later time, but something to act on. Now is the day of salvati...

Airtime: April 7-0, 2023 Message Title: The Resurrection, Truth or Conspiracy rerun Speaker: Sandy Higgins   The topic of the resurrection is the foundation of the Christian faith, so it comes as no surprise that it is the doctrine that has been attacked most by atheists and other unbelievers down through the ages. Yet, the four gospels carefully preserve the details of the crucifixion and resurre...

The apostle Paul in 2 Timothy 2:8 urges us to “remember Jesus Christ” – who He was and what He has done. That He is unique in His birth, in His descent, and in His death. And not only that, but in His victory over the grave in being raised from the dead. Why is it so important that we remember these things? Well, it makes us think of how special He was. The sinless One. God incarnate. This should...

When people come to hear the gospel message, they often bring with them their own pre-conceived notions of what it is all about. They may realize that they have a need because of their sin, which is very important, but then contribute their own ideas as to how to get rid of their sins. Some depend on their good deeds; others on religious observances such as baptism or communion. Still others on th...

There is a heart-warming story found in the Gospel of John about a weary woman, burdened down with guilt and hopelessness, who came on an ordinary day in her life to a well to get water. But on this particular day she got more than just the usual H2O. She received in her soul a well of refreshing and satisfying water that would be in endless supply. She met the One who had living water, the Saviou...

When John the Baptist pointed to the Lamb of God and cried, “Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!”, there was no question as to who he was talking about. There stood before all the people a unique and sinless man who, by baptism, identified Himself with the rebellious nation of Israel, indeed the whole world. He came to stand in the place of sinners. He was God’s great solut...

Today’s message looks closely at one of the Lord’s sayings on the cross. It is maybe the one of most significance to perishing sinners. The words, “It is finished” or one word in the Greek – “finished”. How this word has been a balm to troubled souls down through the years since that day at Calvary! What did it mean? Well, the depth of this utterance will probably never be fully known. For, you se...
