Listen to these forceful words of the Lord Jesus Christ from Luke 13, "Strive to enter in at the narrow gate: for many will seek to enter in, and shall not be able." Why is this? Simply because they have not come God's way - through His only begotten Son. Through the cleansing power of the blood of Christ. Only Christ can take away sin through His sacrificial death on Calvary. Go in for God's salvation. You'll find a Saviour waiting to bless you.

Given the fact that 100 out of 100 people die, it makes sense that we should think about it, doesn't it? With a Saviour available to us all, the subject is not all doom and gloom.There is wonderful hope in the Christian message that you will find nowhere else. Maybe the next 30 minutes will be the time when you prepare for that great appointment.

Well, today's message is centered around just a few words found in 1 Peter 3:18 - "Christ also has once suffered for sins." So, how is it that Christ - the only ONE Who never sinned - is found suffering for sins? In our broadcast today this 'gospel mystery' will be unravelled. 

The Bible gives a picture of a spiritual person, one who has been born again, as a tree growing and flourishing next to a flowing stream, obtaining its life and vitality from the water beneath its soil. Another picture is of a withered tree, an individual who does not have life. So, how is it with you? Do you know God? You can!

The Bible describes sin as 'slavery'. It binds us and burdens us down. It prevents us from being what we are meant to be. And we are under its command. We need someone else to set us free - we need a Redeemer. Listen to this week's message to find out how YOU can be released from the slave market of sin, once and for all.

God. A moment called life. Eternity. These are the ultimate issues, aren't they? Settle these questions, and you will enjoy all that God expects from you - that you come to know Him personally and live with Him forever!

The apostle Paul once referred to God's wonderful gift of salvation through His Son Jesus Christ as an 'unspeakable gift". All the glories and splendours of heaven itself are found in Him. He is the central focus of all the Bible. He is the 'alpha' and the 'omega'. He's everything. He is God's 'unspeakable' treasure! Have you considered the worth of God's Son? 

Not long after the Israelites had been rescued from slavery under Pharaoh, king of Egypt, they started complaining and rebelling against God, bringing upon themselves judgment in the form of venomous snakes that bit the people. But God in His mercy provided a remedy. Moses hung a brass snake upon a pole - and all who looked upon it lived. The application is simple. Sin causes suffering, sadness, and death. The remedy? Christ himself, just like that brass snake, would be lifted up on a cross. And guilty sinners who look to Him will be saved. Have YOU ever looked to Christ to have to have your sins forgiven?

It's a common mistake for many people to think that there is something they have to do to gain acceptance with God. It's a wonderful thing when a person DOES come to realize their need. But the gospel message is not about sinners making their way to heaven through their own supposed merit. Want your sins forgiven? This week's message looks at the basic elements of God's way of salvation? It brings you to the source - God Himself!

In today's broadcast, evangelist Dan Shutt takes a look at the different aspects of the power of God. There's His creatorial power. His power to enact judgment. The tremendous power of the gospel to save souls and transform lives. But there's also the power that we have ourselves - the power of choice - to believe or not believe God. What about you?
