Would you like to hear some good news for a change? Well, it can be found in one verse - "This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief." This news is worthy to be accepted. It's reliable, beneficial, and accurate. It's of vital importance. And, importantly, it's personal. When are you going to make the truths of the gospel personal for your own soul?

The Lord Jesus told many stories to give us apt illustrations of ourselves. In the parable of the good Samaritan, there is a poor man ambushed on the road and left destitute.There were two people who came across the poor man, but they did nothing to help him. At last there was a despised Samaritan who freely gave of himself to save the dying man. Who do these people in the parable represent? And which one applies to ourselves personally? Listen to this message to find out.

In today’s broadcast, we will be considering one of these parables – the story of the sower and the seed. The sower threw his seed on different types of ground – hard, stony, and thorny. But the crop in each case failed. Not that there was anything wrong with the seed – no, the problem was with heart of the listener. Only when falling on GOOD ground, could the seed germinate, take root and grow. Only then could there be fruit for God. On what kind of ground will the seed, the Word of God, to you fall today?

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.

The Old Testament prophetically speaks about the Messiah who would come to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. The one whom God would send to take care of our greatest problem – the problem of sin – and whom God would later glorify and set on the highest throne of heaven in greatest exaltation over His enemies. Of course, this speaks of Christ – yes, the meek and lowly Jesus. He’s coming back again! 

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.

God’s word tells us that everlasting life is something each of us can have right here and now in this life. And that everlasting life is found in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ, God’s Son. Listen to the words of John 3:36 – He that believeth on the Son has everlasting life; and he that believes not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abides on him”. Now ask yourself the question, “Which part of the verse am I in?”

There are many calls that we hear from God’s word. Have you ever heard them? In today’s broadcast, the first call we hear is from the prodigal son – a famine and voice from the earth, Luke 15. And then, at a great banquet in Luke 14 - a feast and a voice from heaven. And lastly, from the lost sinner – a flame and a voice from hell - the words of the Lord Jesus Christ from Luke 16. And what about God’s wonderful invitation to you? Have you heard that call?

The Bible speaks about wages - wages that each one of us earns. However, these wages are not the kind we look forward to. Death - the consequence of our sin and disobedience towards God. But it also speaks of a wonderful gift offered through Jesus Christ our Lord. Will you be content to take the wages of sin? Or will you look to the Christ of Calvary and receive the gift of eternal life that He alone can give? 

Exactly who or what can we trust these days? Are there ANY faithful things, reliable things, things you can count on? Yes - the Word of God. 1 Timothy Chapter 1, verse 15 says, “This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.” Starting with Paul’s conversion when he first received this faithful message, evangelist Bryan Funston explains what the gospel message is – how that Christ suffered and paid for our sins - and why you can count on His great work with complete assurance for your salvation.
