The Lord Jesus Christ was a great teacher and often used stories to illustrate truths that God wants us to know. One of these stories is the parable of the good shepherd who sought after one lost sheep. The picture is simply this. We are ALL like lost sheep, going our own way, wilfully leaving the path of the shepherd.  But, there is a seeking shepherd - the Lord Jesus Christ himself. And He proved His love for the lost sheep by being willing to lay down His life for it. Have YOU seen yourself as the lost sheep that Jesus died to save? 

You know, the Lord Jesus Christ was the Great Physician. Multitudes of people came to Him with various ailments and were instantly healed. We have one such story in the Bible of a woman who had spent all of her money on medical remedies but continued to grow worse. Her time was running out. Would she admit that she needed help? Her life depended on it. In this week’s message, we look at  this woman’s story in more detail applying the glorious gospel message to her experience with Christ that day.

The Bible says that the “preaching of the cross is foolishness to them that perish. But unto us which are saved, it is the power of God.” The cross of Calvary is the central focus of the Word of God. The prophets of old looked forward to it, those who lived at the time of Christ saw the cross experience with their own eyes, and we, today, look back at it as an accomplished fact. This week’s message focuses on the cross of Christ and the crossroads that meet at the foot of it. We all need to decide for ourselves – is it foolishness? Or the best news that we have ever heard?

 The Lord Jesus Christ changes lives and He changes destinies. There are many instances of this in the gospels, but in this broadcast we will be considering the salvation of what you might call a “poor, rich man”. He was extremely wealthy, the Bible says, but all his money was ill-gotten. Zacchaeus was the chief of tax collectors and climbed his way to the top by shrewd and fraudulent means. But he was not a happy man. He was troubled about his `sins and his need for salvation. One day, his opportunity came to see Jesus. But Jesus was looking for him, too. What a happy man he was to learn that the Son of Man came to seek and to save that was lost.He is the 

The apostle Paul once referred to God's wonderful gift of salvation through His Son Jesus Christ as an 'unspeakable gift". All the glories and splendours of heaven itself are found in Him. He is the central focus of all the Bible. He is the 'alpha' and the 'omega'. He's everything. He is God's 'unspeakable' treasure! Have you considered the worth of God's Son? 

There is nothing like hearing a personal testimony of how a Christian came to faith in the Lord Jesus. It does good to the heart of believers as well as to seeking sinners anxious to know their sins forgiven. Yes, becoming a Christian involves a very personal encounter with Christ Himself – through the Word of God. In today’s message, evangelist Gaius Goff tells the story of how he got saved – of God’s dealings with him throughout his lifetime until the day of his salvation in his teenage years. 

Eternal life is not something to expect after you die - you can have eternal life right now - at this moment! And be sure of it! Today we will consider the meaning of eternal life through the words of the Lord Jesus Christ Himself from John Chapter 17. "This is life eternal, that they might know Thee, the only true God and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent." 

How can we have confidence that the Bible is the Word of God? This message takes up five reasons why the Bible is trustworthy: its unity, sublimity, accuracy, prophecy, and efficacy. Each of these characteristics is explained as to how they lay a solid foundation for the Christian faith.            

This week's message looks at how God conveys this truth to us: through general revelation in creation, through specific revelation in the scriptures, through incarnate revelation in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in saving revelation - that is, the opening of a sinner's understanding when he considers the cross and what took place there. It is sure to be of help to you in the defense of Christianity or in your own personal search for truth.             

Today’s message looks at the subject of truth by surveying four major philosophical approaches to it down through the years - rationalism, empiricism, pragmatism and relativism. Whether you are a Bible believer or not, we're sure this discussion of what truth is will be helpful to you in evaluating the claims and plausibility of these different systems of thought when contrasted with a Biblical worldview.    

Without a doubt, the most monumental location affecting every human being who has ever lived is the place called Calvary. It was the place where heaven’s love and heaven’s justice met. What an individual does with this place will determine the greatest matter in the universe – the salvation of the soul. So, if you have never been to Calvary, we trust that today you will find yourself at the foot of the cross with a full understanding of the great transaction that took place there – for you!

The Bible contains three main themes centered around one unique person, the Lord Jesus Christ - the Old Testament predictions of the Messiah; the fact that He actually DID come in human form about 2000 years ago; and the truth that this same Jesus is coming back again. Look around you. Read your Bible. Yes, the Lord is coming again! Are you ready? 

This week, we’ll be heading for the courtroom - God's courtroom - and we’ll be facing some serious charges. The verdict? "Guilty as charged!" But it is possible to walk out of the courtroom cleared of all guilt and enjoying a relationship with the very One that we have offended! Find out how!

Given the fact that 100 out of 100 people die, it makes sense that we should think about death, doesn't it? With a Saviour available to us all, the subject is not all doom and gloom. There is wonderful hope in the Christian message that you will find nowhere else. Maybe the next 30 minutes will be the time when you prepare for that great appointment. 

Salvation is a gift from God, given to sinners who acknowledge their sin and admit their need. Yet, sometimes doubts may arise. In this week's broadcast, a solution is given - to focus on the work of Christ for safety, the Word of God for security, and the witness of the Spirit for enjoyment!  

The book of Acts contains many of the apostle Paul's sermons to various individuals. This message concerns his gospel presentation to a certain King Agrippa. Sadly, Agrippa made a tragic decision. He rejected God's free offer of forgiveness which he so desperately needed. Yes, it’s possible to be ALMOST persuaded to receive the message of the Gospel – to ALMOST accept Christ as Lord and Saviour. How tragic to be so close!

The salvation of a soul is a costly thing. The Bible says that we are bankrupt as far as God is concerned. We have offended God and cannot undo anything we have done. There is judgment for sin and we cannot pay it. This is where the good news of the gospel comes in! God Himself has intervened in the affairs of men to solve the great sin problem and He did this by meeting the high cost of redemption Himself! 

All of us who know the God of the Bible in any measure have come to one simple conclusion – God is good! Not only do we read this over and over again in the Bible both as fact as well as from numerous scriptural examples, we also know it from our own experience. Bur the Bible also speaks of the ‘severity’ of God – the result of His unbending holiness in dealing with sin. Which will you experience? We hope that you will trust in the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ for your salvation and receive God’s eternal blessing.

Well, today's message touches the heart of all of us - our need for peace. So often, the world is full of trials, difficulties, broken dreams, and empty pleasures. Ever wondered what life is all about anyway? We trust that today's message will point you to the answer to your innermost need - the Lord Jesus Christ.
