"This is the last broadcast as Basic Gospel. We are grateful for the love and support of our listeners and we thank God for each and every one of you. Today’s message is the Great I Am. Our Christian life begins and ends with Jesus. He holds everything together. Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.” John 8:58. Jesus is always going to be the Great I AM in your life. Rejoice in the truth that he will never leave you or forsake you. Open the door of your heart and say “yes” to Jesus Christ.

"He is alive! This is the greatest message ever told. This gospel message is a message of life. We see that through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:17 says “And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.” But, thanks be to God, Jesus was raised and in him we have eternal life.

"Andrew Farley joins us to talk about the exciting things happening in the New Year. Today we look at the future as Basic Gospel and The Grace Message come together. We look forward to all the ways God will use The Grace Message to reach others with the good news of Christ Jesus. * For more information about The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley, visit, https://andrewfarley.org/bgn/

"As a child of God, you are forgiven. This truth is really the foundation of the Christian life. Coming to this knowledge is the key to accepting the eternal life God has provided for us. Jesus Christ provided this forgiveness at the cross.

"We are New Covenant. In the New Covenant, we find rest in our souls. It's what people are desperately looking for. Today we will look at the Word of God to learn about this New Covenant that we live in today.

"Welcome to the Christmas Eve broadcast. Today we look at the Christmas story through the eyes of Joseph. It is recorded in Matthew 1:18-25. Faced with the fact that Mary was pregnant, Joseph decided to break the engagement privately. An angel appeared to him in a dream saying "Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife." Joseph's obedience fulfilled what had been prophesied in Isaiah.

* No video for this broadcast.

"As we approach Christmas, we often look at telling the story of baby Jesus. Today let's look at the story from God's perspective. John 1:1-18 describe God's love for mankind demonstrated in sending Jesus.

"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? ... For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:35-39 * Patsy writes to say how much Basic Gospel has meant to her over the years. * Sharon comments, "if you only knew what this ministry has done for me! I know I have a new heart that loves God because he loves me". * Timothy calls to say how much the ministries have meant in his personal ministry and pastorship. * Demetrius asks, what does it mean that believers should take up their cross daily? * Doug calls to say thank you.

""There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." Romans 8:1 There is no condemnation for you because you are in Christ. That is life changing news. Why is this so important? Because you have an accuser, an enemy, that stands against you. But you can rest in the reality that is found in Jesus Christ alone. * Darlene writes: "just wanted to say goodbye and thank you for so many years of great teaching." * Whenever someone accepts Christ into their life, do they need to understand why Jesus died for their sins or understand that he died for their sins? Does it matter if they understand it? * Robert is looking for a new church. What should he look for in a church?

"We see some really amazing and supernatural things about the Christmas story. It was orchestrated by God to provide his Son as a gift and sacrifice to us. We see the full scope of Jesus' work upon the earth -- his death, burial and resurrection. Paul gives us a description of Jesus in Colossians 1:19-20 "For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross." * Like Never Before $90,000 Matching Grant https://basicgospel.net/give * Wayne calls to say "Thank you" and encourages the listeners to keep your eyes on Jesus. * Can you please help me understand what the writer of Hebrews is saying in chapter 6, verse 1 and 2? * Prince calls to say he'll miss Basic Gospel and appreciates that we make the Gospel simple to understand.
