You know, it’s hard for some people to grasp the biblical truth that no one gets to heaven by anything that they do. Good works or a pious life can never atone for sins. Not one. It can be a hard pill to swallow. If you read Romans chapter 4, you will read about Abraham who was justified by faith alone. He believed God, and God counted it to him for righteousness. There was nothing that he could do. He simply trusted in the promises of God. Do you?

The prophet, Isaiah, over 750 years before the birth of Christ, foretold the Saviour who would come and what would happen to Him. He would be rejected and despised. He would be crucified. He would carry our sorrows. He would bare our iniquities. Isaiah asked a probing question, “Who has believed this report?” The same question can be asked today whenever the gospel is preached. Who is going to believe this marvellous story? Who is going to trust in this good news? Will you?

Isn’t it a wonderful thing that the most powerful, most awesome God of the universe is a God of grace? How dreadful it would be if He were a tyrant God or simply one who didn’t care much about us or what is going on in our world. No, He is intimately involved with every detail of our lives and infinitely concerned about our destinies. As sinners, we could never draw close to God. We could never enter His kingdom or live in heaven with Him. But God has extended His hand of love and grace to us all. The ultimate expression of this was the giving of His Son to take the place of guilty sinners in order to save us. Yes, though we have sinned, God is FOR us. And He has taken the first step to reconciling us to Himself. 

One of the most gracious invitations given by the Saviour to poor sinners is this, “Come unto Me, all ye who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). What a weary and laden down world we live in! So much unrest and fear. So much covert frustration and anger because of the failure to have our greatest needs satisfied. Our  spiritual needs. We need peace and rest in our souls, yet we persist in our tiresome search in places that cannot deliver, not realizing what the problem really is. We are disconnected from the source of all true joy and satisfaction. We are disconnected from God! Listen to this message about this beautiful verse and what God is offering in Christ. 

One of the most important things that listeners have to remember when they consider the gospel is its utmost urgency. The Lord Jesus Christ exhorted His hearers to seek FIRST the kingdom of God. To strive to enter in. Not to count on the fact that tomorrow will always come. The gospel is not just something to sit back and consider at a later time, but something to act on. Now is the day of salvation.

Message Title: The Resurrection, Truth or Conspiracy rerun

Speaker: Sandy Higgins

The topic of the resurrection is the foundation of the Christian faith, so it comes as no surprise that it is the doctrine that has been attacked most by atheists and other unbelievers down through the ages. Yet, the four gospels carefully preserve the details of the crucifixion and resurrection story. We trust that this message will help you to understand the gospel accounts more fully and that, if not saved, you would solemnly realize the implications of a risen Saviour and His claims upon YOUR life.

The apostle Paul in 2 Timothy 2:8 urges us to “remember Jesus Christ” – who He was and what He has done. That He is unique in His birth, in His descent, and in His death. And not only that, but in His victory over the grave in being raised from the dead. Why is it so important that we remember these things? Well, it makes us think of how special He was. The sinless One. God incarnate. This should bring worship to the hearts of those who love Him. And it should bring terror to those who have rejected and crucified Him. We would all do good to remember this great One, this holy One.

When people come to hear the gospel message, they often bring with them their own pre-conceived notions of what it is all about. They may realize that they have a need because of their sin, which is very important, but then contribute their own ideas as to how to get rid of their sins. Some depend on their good deeds; others on religious observances such as baptism or communion. Still others on their background, their church affiliation, or even their sincerity. But there is no support in the Bible for any of these methods. In today’s broadcast, we will look at some of the many verses in the Bible that make clear for us GOD’s way of salvation. 

There is a heart-warming story found in the Gospel of John about a weary woman, burdened down with guilt and hopelessness, who came on an ordinary day in her life to a well to get water. But on this particular day she got more than just the usual H2O. She received in her soul a well of refreshing and satisfying water that would be in endless supply. She met the One who had living water, the Saviour who met her deepest need. But it didn’t stop there. The joy in her soul could not be contained and she told everyone she knew about the “Saviour of the world” that she had come to know. And what a Saviour He is!
