Have you ever heard the call of God? Sometimes we don't realize that we're hearing it. The circumstances in life contain the call of God to us - both good times and bad times. Sometimes it's a whisper, sometimes it's a shout. Have YOU ever been made aware of God's call to YOU? But God's call comes mainly through His Word. He touches our hearts with truths that we all know to be right. We know that there is something wrong with the world - with US! We feel the guilt of our sin. We long for forgiveness and unconditional love. Don't look into strange new philosophies. Don't fall for self-improvement programs. Just read what God says - and take what He offers freely - salvation and eternal life! One day will be God's last call to you.

You've probably heard people say that they have 'great faith'. But surely, that is can be very deceptive. A vague, undefined notion of 'having faith' or 'being spiritual' or 'believing in a higher power' has no substance. It is merely a state of mind. Or you may have great faith in an unworthy object - for example, a boat that is filled with holes. Will that faith help you when the boat begins to sink? No, it was an unworthy object for your faith. Neither is faith something you hold onto when all else fails or when there is no evidence to stand on. Nor is it a leap into the dark. These are objections that are false and misleading. Today's broadcast involves an answer to the question, "What does faith look like?"

The main way that God speaks to us is through the Bible. So, if you want to hear what God has to say - well, read the Bible. It is the most enduring book ever written. But there are many other ways that God can communicate Himself to man - in creation itself - the beauty and order of the universe and world around us. Another way is through His goodness - those good things in your life for which you feel a sense of thankfulness to the giver. And then, of course, there is conscience. There are other ways, but these three are the main ones taken up in today's message. We hope that it will be a help to you in understanding that God has an interest in you!

The magnificent power of the creator Himself can be seen from the far reaches of the universe to the invisible atomic building blocks of our world. But God's power extends to far more than creation. He has the utmost power in the courthouse of heaven - the power to condemn and the power to pardon. But the sinner has power as well - the power of choice. The power to believe what God says and to trust the Saviour for themselves. What will yours be?

The clear and simple Gospel message embraces two opposing realities - judgment for sin or an eternal blessed future in heaven. For the Christian, judgment is passed already - we are set free by the blood of Christ. But this is only the beginning of a an eternal lifetime of discovery - of learning more about Christ and the ‘great salvation’ that was obtained for us on the cross of Calvary. 

"While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks by Night" is one of the most familiar Christmas carols we hear at this time of year. How simply and beautifully it retells the amazing Christmas story to us! A 400 year silence was broken with those wonderful words, 'FEAR NOT'! And what was their glorious and urgent announcement? The promised child had been born! The Son had been sent! The Messiah had finally arrived to put away sin. And this Messiah was Himself a good shepherd, a great shepherd. 

Isaiah wrote over 700 years ago in Chapter 9 and Verse 6 the following words: “For unto us a child is born; unto us a Son is given." We know that this child, this Son, was the Lord Jesus Christ Himself who was born in Bethlehem over 2000 years ago. But He didn’t begin his life there. The Bible says that He was the Creator of all things, the eternal Son of God. He was really born. He really died. He really rose again. And He will ultimately rule the universe as King of Kings and Lord of Lords! Do you know Him?

The Bible has a wonderful theme throughout it - JOY! This week's message takes a look at the familiar Christmas carol "Joy to the World" and explains how it is that people like you and me can enter into a secure, meaningful, and everlasting relationship with the God of heaven - through our Lord Jesus Christ - and come to know the joy that He wants us to have. 

For the last 2 weeks, we have been looking at 14 so-called proofs of evolution and basically dismissing each one of them in the face of closer examination. These included the three ‘great facts’ upon which Darwin rested his theory. In today’s part 3 of our series we will look at 8 problems that evolutionary theory faces in its attempt to explain the processes by which all the life around us originated without a designer God. Lastly, three pathways to a different way of looking at things are presented. Either life originated by a designer God or it arose through chance and natural processes alone. Leaving God out altogether presents an enormous problem for evolutionists on many grounds, as we have seen in this series.  

Last week, we looked at 14 so-called proofs of evolution and the problems that they entail. Today’s broadcast is a continuation of this presentation where the supposed 3 ‘great facts’ that prove evolution are taken up  explaining the difficulties with each one. Unfortunately, many people don’t realize that such problems exist. God’s Word never contradicts the realities revealed by honest science. The problems with these so-called proofs for evolution is that man has already concluded what he wants – that there is no God with Whom he has to deal. We trust that you will be one of those who will believe what God says to the saving of your soul.
