In this week's broadcast, we will be looking at some of the last words of the Saviour on the cross - “It is finished”. So what exactly WAS finished there that day? Well, there were the finished prophecies, the finished pain, the finished payment for sin, and the finished purpose for which He came. Best of all, God wants you to know that the work of salvation itself is finished. It's already been done! Consider this wondrous fact today Trust Christ and receive God's offer of eternal life! 

Have you ever thought about the Lord Jesus Christ - His person and His claims? We hope so. Anybody who thinks seriously about questions concerning life, death, and eternity would certainly have to consider Him. Questions like - Who is He? Where is He? What do I think of Him? What will I do with Him? Your eternity depends on your answers.

There is a word used quite often in the Bible - and there's good reason for it. The word is 'whosoever' and it's used to make its timeless message personal to all who read it. There are at least five kinds of 'whosoevers' mentioned. We trust that evangelist Marvin Derksen's message will help you decide which of the Bible 'whosoevers' that you would like to be.

The Bible is God's wonderful message to mankind, telling of a Saviour who has come to take away sin and bring us back to God.  How tremendous the gospel message is! But there is more! You see, this same Jesus who rose from the dead and ascended into heaven is coming back again. Just as He left! In bodily form. He is coming back to receive the church living on earth - those who trusted in Him for salvation. The dead in Christ will arise followed by all those living who have been born again - who accepted Him as their own, personal Saviour. The Bible teaches that this great event could happen at any time, though nowhere in scripture does it give a specific date.  Are you ready to meet Him? 

We need to look at our lives as God does - as totally devastated by the ravages of sin in our hearts.  Does that sound extreme?  Maybe, but we would do well to consider sin as what the Bible defines it to be in all its ugliness. In response to our enormous problem of sin, God was willing to go the extreme distance to meet our need.  Christ came to bridge the immeasurable distance that separates us from God.  And He came SO FAR to do this!

Many atheists today have launched an all-out attack on the truths of the Bible and the very foundations upon which it is based. Scriptural truth has always been assailed down through the ages - and the Bible itself speaks of the forms of unbelief we can expect. Today’s message looks at the atheistic attitudes of today and compares them to what we read in Romans Chapter 1- and the parallels are astounding! 

This week’s message is a comparison of the atheistic attitudes of today and what we read in Romans Chapter 1. Mankind's unbelieving response to truth is revealed in all its fullness there. Despite 24/7 revelation from God, people still choose to reject it, suppress it, or change it into something else. There's more to the statement, "I don't believe there is a God" than meets the eye. It's more than an intellectual difficulty - the will is very much involved. In fact, despite all these atheistic arguments, God makes one pronouncement - they are without excuse. The evidence is there for all to see and investigate. We trust that today's message will start you on a quest for truth - Biblical truth - and that you will discover the Lord himself who longs for you to come into a saving relationship with Him.

What is the most valuable thing in the whole world to you? Well, the Lord Jesus Christ gives us a heavenly perspective on this question. And He wants us to imagine for a moment that we own the whole world. Now that would be quite a thing, wouldn't it? To own the whole world and have everything at our disposal! Yet, there is something far greater in value. Listen to His question tonight, “What will it profit you, if you gain the whole world, and lose your own soul?" Yes, He considers your soul to be the most precious possession you have. Do you?

If we asked you “Where are your sins?”, what would your answer be? Surely, you wouldn’t respond that you don’t have any sins. God says we all do – and if you’re honest, you would have to agree – totally. The Bible is clear on this description of us. And sins become heavier as time goes on – they accumulate, they get entangled.  They make life complicated and messed up. What burdens they are! How can we ever get rid of them? Today’s message looks at the picture of sin in our lives as a heavy burden and the need to have that burden removed. Are you tired of carrying around this burden? Then, come to the Saviour. God had laid on Him the iniquity of us all! 

There is a beautiful verse in Isaiah 1:18 and it says, “Come now, let us reason together”, says the Lord, “Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.” It’s no less than the Lord God of heaven who is speaking here and – imagine – He is wanting to reason with us - poor sinners. He is making an offer to provide us with a slate wiped clean in His sight. Ugly sins washed clean – as white as snow as it were. Is that not something that you would like?
