God is seeking you. God sent His son, Jesus Christ as a Saviour for sinners and he came into to seek and to save the the lost.

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation 

Hebrews 11:6 “6 But without faith [it is] impossible to please [him]. For he that draws near to God must believe that he is, and [that] he is a rewarder of them who seek him out.”

Luke 19:10 “10 for the Son of man has come to seek and to save that which is lost.”

Luke 15:1-7 “15 And all the tax-gatherers and the sinners were coming near to him to hear him;2 and the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, This [man] receives sinners and eats with them.3 And he spoke to them this parable, saying,

4 What man of you having a hundred sheep, and having lost one of them, does not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness and go after that which is lost, until he find it?5 and having found it, he lays it upon his own shoulders, rejoicing;6 and being come to the house, calls together the friends and the neighbours, saying to them, Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost sheep.7 I say unto you, that thus there shall be joy in heaven for one repenting sinner, [more] than for ninety and nine righteous who have no need of repentance.”

Luke 15:24 “24 for this my son was dead and has come to life, was lost and has been found. And they began to make merry.”

John 4:19-24 “19 The woman says to him, Sir, I see that thou art a prophet.20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain, and ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where one must worship.21 Jesus says to her, Woman, believe me, [the] hour is coming when ye shall neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem worship the Father.

22 Ye worship ye know not what; we worship what we know, for salvation is of the Jews.23 But [the] hour is coming and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth; for also the Father seeks such as his worshippers.24 God [is] a spirit; and they who worship him must worship [him] in spirit and truth.”

John 9:30-37 “30 The man answered and said to them, Now in this is a wonderful thing, that *ye* do not know whence he is, and he has opened mine eyes.31 [But] we know that God does not hear sinners; but if any one be God-fearing and do his will, him he hears.

32 Since time was, it has not been heard that any one opened the eyes of one born blind.33 If this [man] were not of God he would be able to do nothing.34 They answered and said to him, Thou hast been wholly born in sins, and thou teachest us? And they cast him out.35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out, and having found him, he said to him, Thou, dost thou believe on the Son of God?

36 He answered and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe on him?37 And Jesus said to him, Thou hast both seen him, and he that speaks with thee is he.38 And he said, I believe, Lord: and he did him homage.

Often, we can feel overwhelmed by the pressures and challenges of the Christian pathway. God desires for us to be overcomers for His glory. How do we overcome the pressures of sin, the flesh, and the devil? What is the secret power of the overcomer? The scriptures point us to the Lord Jesus, the great Savior who overcame the world. The secret power to being an overcomer is to trust in a person, not in ourselves, but in the one who has conquered sin and death: the living Lord Jesus.

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation 

Ephesians 2:1-8 “2 and *you*, being dead in your offences and sins—2 in which ye once walked according to the age of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience:3 among whom *we* also all once had our conversation in the lusts of our flesh, doing what the flesh and the thoughts willed to do, and were children, by nature, of wrath, even as the rest:4 but God, being rich in mercy, because of his great love wherewith he loved us,5 (we too being dead in offences,) has quickened us with the Christ, (ye are saved by grace,)

6 and has raised [us] up together, and has made [us] sit down together in the heavenlies in Christ Jesus,7 that he might display in the coming ages the surpassing riches of his grace in kindness towards us in Christ Jesus.8 For ye are saved by grace, through faith; and this not of yourselves; it is God’s gift:”

John 16:32-33 “32 Behold, [the] hour is coming, and has come, that ye shall be scattered, each to his own, and shall leave me alone; and [yet] I am not alone, for the Father is with me.33 These things have I spoken to you that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye have tribulation; but be of good courage: I have overcome the world.”

Revelation 3:20-22 “20 Behold, I stand at the door and am knocking; if any one hear my voice and open the door, I will come in unto him and sup with him, and he with me.

21 He that overcomes, to him will I give to sit with me in my throne; as *I* also have overcome, and have sat down with my Father in his throne.22 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.”

The Gospel is a message that speaks to the heart. Our sins have separated us from a holy and righteous God, and the scriptures say, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” God is speaking to you in the Gospel, and He desires to give you a new heart. How? The Lord Jesus came into this world as a Saviour for sinners. He went to Calvary’s cross, where He took the punishment for our sins upon Himself to bring salvation for you. Through this great sacrifice, God is able to cleanse the sinner and give you a new heart because of the wonderful work of Jesus.

Many people want to make the most of their lives with a good career, places to visit, or maybe other goals they want to achieve. In this Gospel preaching, you will hear of two men with different lives: one who was not ready to meet God and one who was ready to meet God. Are you ready to meet God?

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation 

Luke 12:16-22 “16 And he spoke a parable to them, saying, The land of a certain rich man brought forth abundantly.17 And he reasoned within himself saying, What shall I do? for I have not [a place] where I shall lay up my fruits.18 And he said, This will I do: I will take away my granaries and build greater, and there I will lay up all my produce and my good things;

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.”

Luke 2:25-30 “25 And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon; and this man was just and pious, awaiting the consolation of Israel, and [the] Holy Spirit was upon him.26 And it was divinely communicated to him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death before he should see [the] Lord’s Christ.

27 And he came in the Spirit into the temple; and as the parents brought in the child Jesus that they might do for him according to the custom of the law,28 *he* received him into his arms, and blessed God, and said,29 Lord, now thou lettest thy bondman go, according to thy word, in peace;30 for mine eyes have seen thy salvation,”

Hebrews 9:26 “ But now once in the consummation of the ages he has been manifested for [the] putting away of sin by his sacrifice.27 And forasmuch as it is the portion of men once to die, and after this judgment;28 thus the Christ also, having been once offered to bear the sins of many, shall appear to those that look for him the second time without sin for salvation.”

Colossians 3:4 “4 When the Christ is manifested who [is] our life, then shall *ye* also be manifested with him in glory.”

Who is God? What is He like? Throughout history, many people have asked these questions and many are still searching for answers today. The Bible tells us that God is holy, righteous, and merciful towards mankind. In our sins, we have gone far from God, but in the Gospel, we hear that God has come near to us through His Son, Jesus Christ. God is fully revealed in Jesus, and we see His love for us at Calvary’s cross, where He sent His Son to be a Savior for sinners.

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation 

Exodus 34:5-7 “5 And Jehovah came down in the cloud, and stood beside him there, and proclaimed the name of Jehovah.6 And Jehovah passed by before his face, and proclaimed, Jehovah, Jehovah God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in goodness and truth,7 keeping mercy unto thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but by no means clearing [the guilty]”

Exodus 32:30-33 “30 And it came to pass the next day, that Moses said to the people, Ye have sinned a great sin. And now I will go up to Jehovah: perhaps I shall make atonement for your sin.31 And Moses returned to Jehovah, and said, Alas, this people has sinned a great sin, and they have made themselves a god of gold!32 And now, if thou wilt forgive their sin … but if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book that thou hast written.33 And Jehovah said to Moses, Whoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.”

Romans 9:1-3 “9 I say [the] truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing witness with me in [the] Holy Spirit,2 that I have great grief and uninterrupted pain in my heart,3 for I have wished, I myself, to be a curse from the Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen, according to flesh;”

Romans 5:7-10 “7 For scarcely for [the] just [man] will one die, for perhaps for [the] good [man] some one might also dare to die;8 but God commends *his* love to us, in that, we being still sinners, Christ has died for us.9 Much rather therefore, having been now justified in [the power of] his blood, we shall be saved by him from wrath.10 For if, being enemies, we have been reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much rather, having been reconciled, we shall be saved in [the power of] his life.”

If you believe in the Lord Jesus, you have a real living hope in Him. In this busy world, it’s easy to lose sight of this amazing hope and the truth that Jesus is coming back soon. The scriptures says “Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching”. Are you prepared for Christ’s return?

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation 

1 Corinthians 13:13 “13 And now abide faith, hope, love; these three things; and the greater of these [is] love.”

1 Peter 1:3-5 “3 Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who, according to his great mercy, has begotten us again to a living hope through [the] resurrection of Jesus Christ from among [the] dead,

4 to an incorruptible and undefiled and unfading inheritance, reserved in [the] heavens for you,5 who are kept guarded by [the] power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in [the] last time.”

1 John 3:1-3 “See what love the Father has given to us, that we should be called [the] children of God. For this reason the world knows us not, because it knew him not.2 Beloved, now are we children of God, and what we shall be has not yet been manifested; we know that if it is manifested we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.3 And every one that has this hope in him purifies himself, even as *he* is pure.”

1 Peter 3:15 “15 but sanctify [the] Lord the Christ in your hearts, and [be] always prepared to [give] an answer [to] every one that asks you to give an account of the hope that [is] in you, but with meekness and fear;”

Lamentations 3:16-24 “16 He hath also broken my teeth with gravel stones, he hath covered me with ashes.17 And thou hast removed my soul far off from peace: I have forgotten prosperity.

18 And I said, My strength is perished, and my hope in Jehovah.19 Remember thou mine affliction and my wandering, the wormwood and the gall.20 My soul hath [them] constantly in remembrance, and is humbled in me.21 —This I recall to heart, therefore have I hope.

22 It is of Jehovah’s loving-kindness we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not;23 they are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.24 Jehovah is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.”

Romans 5:1-5 “5 Therefore having been justified on the principle of faith, we have peace towards God through our Lord Jesus Christ;2 by whom we have also access by faith into this favour in which we stand, and we boast in hope of the glory of God.3 And not only [that], but we also boast in tribulations, knowing that tribulation works endurance;4 and endurance, experience; and experience, hope;5 and hope does not make ashamed, because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by [the] Holy Spirit which has been given to us:”

11 The Pharisee, standing, prayed thus to himself: God, I thank thee that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax-gatherer.12 I fast twice in the week, I tithe everything I gain.13 And the tax-gatherer, standing afar off, would not lift up even his eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, O God, have compassion on me, the sinner.14 I say unto you, This [man] went down to his house justified rather than that [other]. “

56 and said, Lo, I behold the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing at the right hand of God.57 And they cried out with a loud voice, and held their ears, and rushed upon him with one accord;58 and having cast [him] out of the city, they stoned [him]. And the witnesses laid aside their clothes at the feet of a young man called Saul.59 And they stoned Stephen, praying, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.60 And kneeling down, he cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And having said this, he fell asleep.”

Luke 16:29-31 “29 But Abraham says to him, They have Moses and the prophets: let them hear them.30 But he said, Nay, father Abraham, but if one from the dead should go to them, they will repent.31 And he said to him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, not even if one rise from among [the] dead will they be persuaded.”

Acts 26:27-29 “27 King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest.28 And Agrippa [said] to Paul, In a little thou persuadest me to become a Christian.29 And Paul [said], I would to God, both in little and in much, that not only thou, but all who have heard me this day, should become such as *I* also am, except these bonds.”

Romans 4:20-25 “20 and hesitated not at the promise of God through unbelief; but found strength in faith, giving glory to God;21 and being fully persuaded that what he has promised he is able also to do;22 wherefore also it was reckoned to him as righteousness.23 Now it was not written on his account alone that it was reckoned to him,

24 but on ours also, to whom, believing on him who has raised from among [the] dead Jesus our Lord,25 who has been delivered for our offences and has been raised for our justification, it will be reckoned.”

God’s word tells us that the souls of men will spend eternity in one of two places: heaven or hell. Where will you spend eternity? In our sins, we find that we have wandered far from our holy Creator, God. The wonderful news in the Gospel is that God has sent a Savior for sinners, His Son Jesus Christ. Salvation is available for the sinner who believes and trusts in the Lord Jesus. Have you responded to this amazing invitation?

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation

1 Thessalonians 5:1-10 “5 But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that ye should be written to,2 for ye know perfectly well yourselves, that the day of [the] Lord so comes as a thief by night.3 When they may say, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction comes upon them, as travail upon her that is with child; and they shall in no wise escape.4 But *ye*, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day should overtake you as a thief:5 for all *ye* are sons of light and sons of day; we are not of night nor of darkness.6 So then do not let us sleep as the rest do, but let us watch and be sober;

7 for they that sleep sleep by night, and they that drink drink by night;8 but *we* being of [the] day, let us be sober, putting on [the] breastplate of faith and love, and as helmet [the] hope of salvation;9 because God has not set us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,10 who has died for us, that whether we may be watching or sleep, we may live together with him.”

Hebrews 9:26-28 “But now once in the consummation of the ages he has been manifested for [the] putting away of sin by his sacrifice.27 And forasmuch as it is the portion of men once to die, and after this judgment;28 thus the Christ also, having been once offered to bear the sins of many, shall appear to those that look for him the second time without sin for salvation.”
