 A large part of the gospel is concerned with just one event in Jesus’ life – His arrest, trial, and crucifixion. Why? Well, it’s the very reason He came - to die for our sins! God wants us to direct our focus to exactly what happened on the day that He accomplished this great work. Many people made choices for or against Christ that day, but our message this evening is concerned with the decision...

We will never know all there is to know about the Almighty God of heaven. His essence is eternal. His character is far beyond what we can even hope to understand. But we can be thankful that this same God has allowed us to know Him by revealing Himself to us through the Bible. That’s why it’s so important to read this Book. Also, Christ has made the invisible God visible. We see the nature of God...

  Well, today's message is centered around the words found in 1 Peter 3:18 - "Christ also has once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust that He might bring us to God." What a great gospel mystery we have here! Why is the sinless One suffering for sin? Listen to this week’s message as the great gospel mystery is unravelled through the wonderful fact of substitution. . 

There is no other message like the gospel message. It’s all about our greatest need and God’s greatest provision. Believing it results in everlasting life. It means rejoicing for ages to come in the grace and love of God . This week’s broadcast presents four “unequalled truths of the Gospel” - the unparalleled life of the Saviour; His incomparable death; the indescribable gift He offers, and the u...

At Anchorpoint our desire is for all our listeners to understand the great truths of the Gospel message, and about the Person who makes the good news possible – the Lord Jesus Christ. But first we need the knowledge of the truth - about ourselves, about the Saviour, and about God’s way of salvation. But the Bible speaks of the sad possibility of sinning wilfully against the truth that we DO know....

This week’s broadcast focuses on the Man of Calvary. On the cross hung a unique Man in every sense of the word. He was perfect in every aspect of His life. Indeed, He was actually God manifested in the flesh. It’s a weighty mystery that the Bible does not attempt to explain. It states it as reality. He was sinless in thought, word, and deed. Yet He was willing to take on the sin of the entire worl...

You know, if we sat at the foot of the cross long enough, we would have to come away greatly humbled – with absolutely nothing to boast about in ourselves. In fact, we would come away ashamed and convicted of the wretched creatures that we really are to crucify the Lord of life and glory. The apostle Paul never forgot his view of the cross. He said, “God forbid” that he would have an ounce of boas...

We have all experienced the joy both of giving and of getting gifts. But many people don’t really appreciate the greatness of the many gifts that God gives us. Not only of health and strength, loving relationships and other benefits of life, but gifts of eternal value – forgiveness, peace with God, peace with ourselves, a relationship with God, a home in heaven, enjoyment of the Saviour, eternal s...

  There is an amazing story in the book of the Acts about a jailor in Philippi who received Christ as his Saviour after meeting the apostle Paul and Silas in the prison there. But God had His eye on this jailor long before that morning dawned. It was no accident that he came into contact with them that evening. God deals with individuals and often re-arranges their circumstances in such a way that...

Has it ever occurred to you as odd that the coming of the King of kings and Lord of lords was announced to simple country folk looking after a few sheep on a hillside? Well, the answer is simple. The Lord Jesus came to the earth in humble human form. His Kingdom would reign in people’s hearts, not in the pomp and display of outward ceremony. The Lord is actually the Good Shepherd – the One who lov...

There is no greater truth than to know that your sins are forgiven! King David could write in Psalm 32:1-2 – “Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered; blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputes not iniquity”. Can you think of anything better? We can only have a right relationship with God if, first, we recognize that the Almighty God see us in our sins and separa...

The message of this week’s broadcast is that God is seeking for you. The very fact that you're here on this page is an example of that. He longs to reconnect with each one of us - but sin has formed a tremendous barrier. Yes, God is looking for sinners. But there is the other side as well. Are YOU seeking for Him? The Bible promise still stands - you will find Him when you honestly look for H...

Biblical faith is simply this – believing in what God says and committing yourself to it. It is based on evidence that backs up that faith. You can rest on it. Is God trustworthy? Can you depend on what He has said in His Word? In this week’s broadcast we will look at the requirements of faith, the realities of faith in action, and the response of faith. This is no blind leap. It is simply trustin...

The Bible speaks of two different classes of people in this world. Those "in Adam" or those "in Christ". We are all born into the first group, disconnected from God, spiritually dead. How can we get from this sad condition to being spiritually alive - "in Christ" ? Today's message makes this clear.

The "Hallelujah Chorus" is one of the most famous pieces of music ever composed. How beautiful are its words in praise of the only true God of heaven - the God of the Bible! This week's broadcast takes a look at some of the reasons that God is worthy to be praised - His creation, His incarnation, His wonderful and free redemption, His promised restoration of a defiled earth, just to...

In this week’s broadcast, speaker Dan Shutt takes a look at the different aspects of the power of God - His creatorial power - His power to enact judgment – and the tremendous power of the gospel to save souls and transform lives. But there's also the power that we have ourselves - the power of choice - to believe or not believe God. What choice have you made? 

Well, there's no doubt about it - EVERYONE wants to go to heaven. So, isn't it a strange thing that most people don't bother to prepare for it? There's no preparation necessary for hell. It's straight ahead - you can't miss it. But heaven is a prepared place for a prepared people. So then, how do you prepare for heaven?

Listen to these forceful words of the Lord Jesus Christ from Luke 13, "Strive to enter in at the narrow gate: for many will seek to enter in, and shall not be able." Why is this? Simply because they have not come God's way - through His only begotten Son. Through the cleansing power of the blood of Christ. Only Christ can take away sin through His sacrificial death on Calvary. Go in...

One of the most difficult truths of the gospel message to get across to people is the fact that we have all offended a holy God. But these marks of guilt against God are continually being recorded in heaven to determine the judgment deserved by sinners. But these dreadful marks of guilt are here contrasted with the wonderful marks of love and forgiveness forever displayed in the Saviour’s wounds a...

Though there are many stories of love and many stories of sacrifice in the Bible, the two only truly come together for the first time at Calvary where Christ in love provided the ultimate sacrifice for sin. Why? So that we could be sure of being in heaven with Him. The Bible speaks of only two destinations. Those who trust Christ are saved and enter heaven through His blood, but those who refuse t...

There is nothing relative about the Word of God. It is filled with timeless, unchanging, absolute truths. Sometimes it is this very inflexibility in scriptural statements that makes individuals uncomfortable with or even hostile to the Bible’s message. But there are some things in the Word of God that are absolute impossibilities. Even in relation to God. Did you know that there are some things th...

“Amazing Grace” is a truly beautiful song. But how sad that many music artists around the world while lending their beautiful voices and instrumental skills to the song hardly appreciate what the song is truly all about! Well, it contains the simple gospel message of the awareness of sin, the grace of God in saving souls, and the joy of the believer upon receiving that message. Is grace amazing to...

The Gospel of John, chapter 9, is entirely dedicated to the story of one poor blind man and his encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ. It was one of the “sign” miracles that the apostle John included in his gospel – miracles that displayed the glory of God in Christ. This man was blind from birth and would never be able to see apart from divine intervention. How similar to this is our own condition...

Time cannot be better spent than to sit at the foot of the cross and considering the death of our Lord Jesus Christ. There we see where God’s love and His judgment met together. There is no greater display of the grace of God for the very sinners who tortured and taunted Him there. Have you ever stopped long enough at the cross to think upon what was actually happening there and why?

You know, we would be in denial if we didn’t concede that the world in which we live is filled with death, sorrow, fear, pain, and hopelessness. And we are powerless in the face of death, our final enemy. The Bible says that through fear of death, we are in bondage our whole lives. But the Lord Jesus has power over death. He was and still is the conqueror over the grave. Believers have eternal lif...
