The apostle John wrote that it is possible to know that we possess eternal life. Listen to it: “The blood of Jesus Christ, God’s Son, cleanses us from all sin.”  Yes, religious activity cannot cleanse a sinful heart or make us acceptable to God. We may speak about God, attend meetings, say prayers, and perform good deeds while still following the pathway of our own choosing. Examine your heart honestly. Only Christ can put away our sin and guilt for good. Are you depending completely upon Christ? 

What does Jesus mean to you? Sadly, while mingling with crowds here and there through our daily lives, it is easy to know what Jesus means to many. His name is openly slandered and cursed upon. Would you curse upon something or someone dear and precious to you? I don’t think so. What has He ever done to make people treat Him so disrespectfully and with such animosity? Our message today is all about the lovely man, the Lord Jesus, and what He meant to many believers down through the ages. He presents to us today a person to embrace, a power to experience, and a promise to enjoy. We’re sure that you will be touched by this devotional message today.

People often have very negative thoughts about God – that He wants to control their lives and, even worse, wants to make them miserable. But that is not the God of the Bible! God is loving, patient, kind, generous. Every good thing! And His greatest desire for us is to be forgiven of our sins, removed from our sorrows, delivered from our fear and pain, and to be in a place of peace and joy in His presence forever. He wants all men and women to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. In this message, speaker Peter Ramsay explains what God has done to reach unbelieving sinners. You may be surprised at the love of God for you personally and His dealings in your life. 

It's a common mistake for many people to think that there is something they have to DO to gain acceptance with God. An individual may rightly begin to realize a sense of need in their own soul - a need to have matters settled with God - a need to have their sins forgiven. Maybe you’re listening to Anchorpoint today with a desire to have the salvation that the Bible speaks of. Or maybe, you are merely curious about these things. Either way, we're glad you've tuned in because today's broadcast will have many of the answers you're looking for.

“Amazing Grace” is a truly beautiful song. But how sad that many music artists around the world while lending their beautiful voices and instrumental skills to the song hardly appreciate what the song is truly all about! Well, it contains the simple gospel message of the awareness of sin, the grace of God in saving souls, and the joy of the believer upon receiving that message. Is grace amazing to YOU? Are the words of this beautiful hymn the language of your heart?

One of the most well-known verses in the Bible - and you may know it - is John 3:16 – “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him, should not perish but have everlasting life.” A beautiful verse - the gospel in a nutshell! Well, today's message is based on the verse that follows John 3:16 - and here's how it reads, "For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." An equally beautiful verse, don't you think?        But does this verse mean that we are not condemned? No. The world is already lying under total condemnation by God because of our sin. That’s why the Saviour came. Have YOU ever acknowledged this fact? You need to!

It's quite obvious that there is a lot of ‘brokenness’ of the world around us. he ‘whys’ may not all be answered, but there IS purpose in it all. God is not finished with this world yet. And Christians? Well, He’s helping us to focus on what really counts, testing our love and devotion, and developing in us a closer likeness to His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. 

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?

There are many Bible stories about how the Lord Jesus Christ healed the sick and dying. He was known as the “Great Physician” whose compassion and healing power attracted multitudes of sad and afflicted people. But not all people were drawn to the Saviour – in fact, the religious people were His greatest critics! They felt they had no need of Christ in their lives. He exposed their hypocrisy and sin – and they hated Him for it. Is it any different today? Join us as we look at “the REAL pandemic” – that is, the pandemic of sin that is rampant in our world and God’s remedy for it. 

The problem with understanding the Bible for just about all of us is that we all come to the Bible with our OWN way of thinking. We've already decided what God is like and what we are like. Unfortunately, it is usually a very wrong assessment. In the gospel of Luke, Chapter 15 the Lord Jesus Christ tells a story that we know now as 'the prodigal son'. But there is more to the story than the son who left home for a far country and later returned to his father. You see, the Lord Jesus was telling the story to a group of self-righteous Pharisees. Yes, the prodigal son certainly needed forgiveness all right, but so did the religious congregation. You see, they ALL needed a 'change of mind'. They needed to look at reality the way that God reveals it to us in His Word. And so do we! I trust that our message today will help YOU to align your thoughts and reasonings to what God wants you to know.
