In remembering Christ by breaking bread and drinking wine, Christians are reminded every week of His tremendous offering for sin at the place called Calvary. Believers live in the conscious enjoyment of a finished work! How wonderful is that? If you are a Christian, we know that this devotional message will stir your heart to worship. And if not a Christian, we trust that thinking about the perfect offering of Christ will bring you into the greatest spiritual blessing of your life!

Weary, held captive by destructive habits, confused, fearful, hurt. We've all been there, haven't we? It was for such people that the Lord Jesus Christ came into the world. Listen to this message to understand how God loves the world and has done everything needed to solve the ultimate problem underlying all of our sad issues - estrangement from Him.

Today’s broadcast looks at the actual beginning of sin going back to the book of Genesis. It looks at when sin first came into the world, wreaking havoc on all generations since that time. The generations of human beings since then have become infected and infested with sin with its awful results seen in our world today. Only Christ could restore the lost relationship between Adam and God. And only He can restore YOUR relationship with God. He did this by paying the tremendous price of sin on Calvary’s cross. Have you come to Christ for the forgiveness of your sins? You need to. There is no other way.

Christians understand and acknowledge that, despite the world's skeptical and unthankful attitude at times, God is the ultimate source of all of our blessings. The greatest of all blessings that God wants you to receive from Him is His forgiveness through our Lord Jesus Christ. The first verse of Psalm 32 says "Blessed is he - or she - whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered." At the end of the day, isn't that all that really matters?

While it is true that the word ‘gospel’ means ‘good news’, it is so necessary to get people to realize that there is a black background to the shining diamond of God’s salvation. People need to realize the solemn and desperate condition they are in as sinners before a holy and righteous God. This involves bringing up the unsavoury topic of sin. This message takes a look at sin and the wonderful salvation the God offers to put it away once and for all.

The Bible makes a very categorical statement in 1 John Chapter 5 and verse 12 - "He (or she) that hath the Son has life, and he (or she) that has not the Son of God, has not life." There are only two parts to that verse. You either have the Son - that is, truly know the Lord Jesus Christ as your own personal Lord and Saviour - or you do not. So, how about it? Do YOU have this 'life' that the Bible talks about?

In Matthew 6:33, we have the words of the Lord Jesus Christ, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Yes, it was taught by Christ that the kingdom of God is something that we should all strive to enter into - that is, we should make it a priority in our lives. You see, none of us are born naturally into the kingdom of God, but the good news is that the kingdom of God is as close as a humble, repentant heart. Have YOU entered that kingdom?

It’s a familiar story told by the Lord Jesus – the story of the lost sheep. As He tells this story, He paints for us a vivid picture of a poor, lost sheep – helpless and hopeless in itself. But He also describes Himself – the shepherd – the good shepherd who cares for His sheep enough to give His life. It really pictures ourselves, lost in our sins, and the Lord Jesus Christ as the Saviour or rescuer of our souls. Have you ever seen yourself as the lost sheep that Jesus came to save?  

Make no mistake about it, the Lord Jesus Christ knew exactly how to answer the objections of His critics. With divine wisdom and grace, He turned their questions around to what really counts - the salvation of their souls. Listen to Phil Coulson as He explains the Saviour's words "Except Ye Repent!" Think you should take Him seriously?

The Lord Jesus Christ once asked for a drink of water from a woman at a well in a town called Sychar. Not only was He tired and thirsty, He also wanted to teach this woman about ‘living water’ – something that will satisfy forever. Something only HE could give. Today, through this well-known Bible story, speaker Peter Ramsay explains about this ‘living water’ – the water that satisfies, not only for time, but for all eternity!
