Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation 

Luke 12:16 “16 And he spoke a parable to them, saying, The land of a certain rich man brought forth abundantly.”

Luke 12:19-21 19 and I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much good things laid by for many years; repose thyself, eat, drink, be merry.20 But God said to him, Fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee; and whose shall be what thou hast prepared?

21 Thus is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”

Matthew 6:19-21 “19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust spoils, and where thieves dig through and steal;20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust spoils, and where thieves do not dig through nor steal;21 for where thy treasure is, there will be also thy heart.”

2 Corinthians 4:6-7 “6 Because [it is] the God who spoke that out of darkness light should shine who has shone in our hearts for the shining forth of the knowledge of the glory of God in [the] face of [Jesus] Christ.7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the surpassingness of the power may be of God, and not from us:”

The children of Issachar were those who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do. God desire for each beliver to have understanding of the times, to know what they ought to do.

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation 

Haggai 1:2-4 “2 Thus speaketh Jehovah of hosts, saying, This people say, The time is not come, the time that Jehovah’s house should be built.3 And the word of Jehovah came by Haggai the prophet, saying,4 Is it time for you that ye should dwell in your wainscoted houses, while this house lieth waste?”

1 Chronicles 12:32-33 “32 And of the children of Issachar, who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do, the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their bidding.33 Of Zebulun, such as went forth in the host, armed for war with all weapons of war, fifty thousand, keeping rank without double heart.”

Romans 13:11-14 “11 This also, knowing the time, that it is already time that *we* should be aroused out of sleep; for now [is] our salvation nearer than when we believed.12 The night is far spent, and the day is near; let us cast away therefore the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.13 As in the day, let us walk becomingly; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and lasciviousness, not in strife and emulation.14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not take forethought for the flesh to [fulfil its] lusts.”

The Gospel is God’s answer to the problem of sin. Over 2,000 years ago, Jesus came to earth on a rescue mission. When we look at the world around us, or even reflect on history, we see a massive barrier separating us from a holy and righteous God—that barrier is sin. This barrier is far too great for us to overcome on our own. But God, in His love, sent someone to remove that barrier completely: a Saviour, Jesus Christ.

Isaiah 8:11-12 “11 For Jehovah spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and he instructed me not to walk in the way of this people, saying,12 Ye shall not say, Conspiracy, of everything of which this people saith, Conspiracy; and fear ye not their fear, and be not in dread.”

Romans 8:31-35 “33 Who shall bring an accusation against God’s elect? [It is] God who justifies:34 who is he that condemns? [It is] Christ who has died, but rather has been [also] raised up; who is also at the right hand of God; who also intercedes for us.35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? tribulation or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?”

Romans 8:38-39 “38 For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which [is] in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

God in mercy for the sinner sent His Son, Jesus Christ as a Saviour. In our sins, each one of us has fallen short of the glory of God. No good works or church attendance can improve our standing before a holy God. The scripture says “all our righteousness are as filthy rags”. There is only one way back to God and that is through God’s son, Jesus Christ.

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation 

Leviticus 16:11-16 “11 And Aaron shall present the bullock of the sin-offering, which is for himself, and shall make atonement for himself and for his house, and shall slaughter the bullock of the sin-offering which is for himself.

12 And he shall take the censer full of burning coals of fire from off the altar before Jehovah, and both his hands full of fragrant incense beaten small, and bring it inside the veil.13 And he shall put the incense upon the fire before Jehovah, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy-seat which is upon the testimony, that he die not.

14 And he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle with his finger upon the front of the mercy-seat eastward; and before the mercy-seat shall he sprinkle of the blood seven times with his finger.15 And he shall slaughter the goat of the sin-offering, which is for the people, and bring its blood inside the veil, and do with its blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the mercy-seat, and before the mercy-seat;16 and he shall make atonement for the sanctuary, [to cleanse it] from the uncleanness of the children of Israel

Leviticus 16:34 “34 And this shall be an everlasting statute unto you, to make atonement for the children of Israel [to cleanse them] from all their sins once a year. And he did as Jehovah had commanded Moses.”

Romans 3:21-26 “21 But now without law righteousness of God is manifested, borne witness to by the law and the prophets;22 righteousness of God by faith of Jesus Christ towards all, and upon all those who believe: for there is no difference;23 for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;24 being justified freely by his grace through the redemption which [is] in Christ Jesus;

25 whom God has set forth a mercy-seat, through faith in his blood, for [the] shewing forth of his righteousness, in respect of the passing by the sins that had taken place before, through the forbearance of God;26 for [the] shewing forth of his righteousness in the present time, so that he should be just, and justify him that is of [the] faith of Jesus.”

19 how that God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their offences; and putting in us the word of that reconciliation.20 We are ambassadors therefore for Christ, God as [it were] beseeching by us, we entreat for Christ, Be reconciled to God.21 Him who knew not sin he has made sin for us, that *we* might become God’s righteousness in him.”

The Gospel is preached that you may come to Jesus. God so loved the world that He gave His son, Jesus Christ as Saviour of sinners.

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation 

Mark 2:1-12 “2 And he entered again into Capernaum after [several] days, and it was reported that he was at [the] house;2 and straightway many were gathered together, so that there was no longer any room, not even at the door; and he spoke the word to them.3 And there come to him [men] bringing a paralytic, borne by four;4 and, not being able to get near to him on account of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where he was, and having dug [it] up they let down the couch on which the paralytic lay.

5 But Jesus, seeing their faith, says to the paralytic, Child, thy sins are forgiven [thee].6 But certain of the scribes were there sitting, and reasoning in their hearts,7 Why does this [man] thus speak? he blasphemes. Who is able to forgive sins except God alone?

8 And straightway Jesus, knowing in his spirit that they are reasoning thus within themselves, said to them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?9 Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, [Thy] sins are forgiven [thee]; or to say, Arise, and take up thy couch and walk?10 But that ye may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, he says to the paralytic,

11 To thee I say, Arise, take up thy couch and go to thine house.12 And he rose up straightway, and, having taken up his couch, went out before [them] all, so that all were amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it thus.”

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation 

Philppians 2:5-11 “5 For let this mind be in you which [was] also in Christ Jesus;6 who, subsisting in the form of God, did not esteem it an object of rapine to be on an equality with God;7 but emptied himself, taking a bondman’s form, taking his place in [the] likeness of men;8 and having been found in figure as a man, humbled himself, becoming obedient even unto death, and [that the] death of [the] cross.

9 Wherefore also God highly exalted him, and granted him a name, that which is above every name,10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of heavenly and earthly and infernal [beings],11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord to God [the] Father’s glory.”

In a world filled with sorrow, pain, and death, we proclaim a message of hope. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, entered this world to offer hope to everyone. Because of our sins, we all stand under God’s judgment, as the scriptures say: “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). The amazing news of the Gospel is that God has provided a Saviour—Jesus Christ—who went to the cross to save us from our sins. This same Jesus has conquered death and offers eternal life to all who put their trust in Him.

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation 

John 12:1-45 “11 Now there was a certain [man] sick, Lazarus of Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister.2 It was [the] Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.

3 The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.4 But when Jesus heard [it], he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified by it.5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.6 When therefore he heard, He is sick, he remained two days then in the place where he was.7 Then after this he says to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.

8 The disciples say to him, Rabbi, [even but] now the Jews sought to stone thee, and goest thou thither again?9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any one walk in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world;10 but if any one walk in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.11 These things said he; and after this he says to them, Lazarus, our friend, is fallen asleep, but I go that I may awake him out of sleep.12 The disciples therefore said to him, Lord, if he be fallen asleep, he will get well.13 But Jesus spoke of his death, but *they* thought that he spoke of the rest of sleep.14 Jesus therefore then said to them plainly, Lazarus has died.15 And I rejoice on your account that I was not there, in order that ye may believe. But let us go to him.

16 Thomas therefore, called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, Let *us* also go, that we may die with him.17 Jesus therefore [on] arriving found him to have been four days already in the tomb.18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia off,19 and many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, that they might console them concerning their brother.20 Martha then, when she heard Jesus is coming, went to meet him; but Mary sat in the house.21 Martha therefore said to Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;22 but even now I know, that whatsoever thou shalt ask of God, God will give thee.23 Jesus says to her, Thy brother shall rise again.

24 Martha says to him, I know that he will rise again in the resurrection in the last day.25 Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believes on me, though he have died, shall live;26 and every one who lives and believes on me shall never die. Believest thou this?27 She says to him, Yea, Lord; I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who should come into the world.28 And having said this, she went away and called her sister Mary secretly, saying, The teacher is come and calls thee.29 She, when she heard [that], rises up quickly and comes to him.30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha came to meet him.31 The Jews therefore who were with her in the house and consoling her, seeing Mary that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, saying, She goes to the tomb, that she may weep there.

32 Mary therefore, when she came where Jesus was, seeing him, fell at his feet, saying to him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.33 Jesus therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, was deeply moved in spirit, and was troubled,34 and said, Where have ye put him? They say to him, Lord, come and see.35 Jesus wept.36 The Jews therefore said, Behold how he loved him!

37 And some of them said, Could not this [man], who has opened the eyes of the blind [man], have caused that this [man] also should not have died?38 Jesus therefore, again deeply moved in himself, comes to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.

39 Jesus says, Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of the dead, says to him, Lord, he stinks already, for he is four days [there].40 Jesus says to her, Did I not say to thee, that if thou shouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?41 They took therefore the stone away. And Jesus lifted up his eyes on high and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me;42 but I knew that thou always hearest me; but on account of the crowd who stand around I have said [it], that they may believe that thou hast sent me.

43 And having said this, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.44 And the dead came forth, bound feet and hands with graveclothes, and his face was bound round with a handkerchief. Jesus says to them, Loose him and let him go.

45 Many therefore of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what he had done, believed on him;”
