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!

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 firm grip on this bedrock doctrine of the faith but also have the ability to convey it to skeptics who resist the truth.  

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 you know Him? Have you ever stopped and received this great gift of reconciliation that God so freely offers? 

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 certainly be saved, and also the sad condition of never being saved. We trust that you will understand the wonderful provision that God has given so that you can say that YOU are saved!

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.

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 testimony today will be a help to all who desire to have their sins forgiven – and to know it!

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 surprised! 

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 what happened to him – and how. Do YOU have a “before” and “after” story regarding Christ? Thirdly, “Where is He”? A good question for us to answer as well. Well, Christ is in heaven, providing an open door for all who trust in Him. This miracle illustrates for us the salvation of the soul – of leaving one’s darkness behind and walking a new life through trusting Christ as Saviour. Read John chapter 9 for this amazing story.

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 from the hearts of wicked men. But it was also an emblem of Christ's ultimate purpose to put away the curse once and for all.
