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 back again! 

The Lord Jesus Christ in His attempt to reach sinners of all intellects and educational levels, gave illustrations that were simple enough for even children to understand. One example is when He refers to Himself as a “door” – an entrance way, if you will – into heaven. But please notice that he goes further than to call himself a door – he calls Himself THE door. Yes, Christ says that the demands of a holy and offended God will accept only one way. So, have YOU entered in through the door that God has provided?

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 religion - the way of Cain. 

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 Word of God! 

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 life when you came to Christ to be set free?

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 sins. That means here and now - before you leave this early scene. Yes, you NEED the forgiveness of sins - it's not an option. 

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 been a time like that in YOUR life?

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 things they feel they need to know and do. In fact, they often construct their own 'religion' with rules and methods to follow. But the gospel is the opposite of working at it. It is the opposite of DOING. The gospel message is all about what CHRIST has done for us. Do you know the ONE thing that God wants you to know?
