In this Gospel preaching, you will hear of three situations of transformation. Firstly, a transformation from darkness to light. Secondly, a transformation from being under the devil’s oppression to being in God’s kingdom. And thirdly, a transformation from being in poverty to being in a land flowing with milk and honey. The Lord Jesus is the only person who can transform your life and save you from your sins. Have you come to the Lord Jesus?

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation 

1 Peter 2:9-10 “that ye might set forth the excellencies of him who has called you out of darkness to his wonderful light;10 who once [were] not a people, but now God’s people; who were not enjoying mercy, but now have found mercy.”

Colossians 1:13 “13 who has delivered us from the authority of darkness, and translated [us] into the kingdom of the Son of his love:”

Deuteronomy 26:5-9 “5 And thou shalt speak and say before Jehovah thy God, A perishing Aramean was my father, and he went down to Egypt with a few, and sojourned there, and became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous.

6 And the Egyptians evil-entreated us, and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard bondage;7 and we cried to Jehovah, the God of our fathers, and Jehovah heard our voice, and looked on our affliction, and our labour, and our oppression;

8 and Jehovah brought us forth out of Egypt with a powerful hand, and with a stretched-out arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders;9 and he hath brought us into this place, and hath given us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey!”

Philippians 2:6-8 “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.”

The Gospel is preached that you may come to Jesus. In the Bible, it tells us that in our sins, we are far from a holy and righteous God, but the good news of the Gospel is that there is salvation available in the Lord Jesus Christ. Over 2000 years ago, Jesus came into the world to save sinners and went to Calvary’s cross where He laid down His life for you. By this wonderful sacrifice, God is able to forgive and welcome you into His presence. Have you come to Jesus?

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation 

Matthew 22:1-13 “22 And Jesus answering spoke to them again in parables, saying,2 The kingdom of the heavens has become like a king who made a wedding feast for his son,3 and sent his bondmen to call the persons invited to the wedding feast, and they would not come.4 Again he sent other bondmen, saying, Say to the persons invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and my fatted beasts are killed, and all things ready; come to the wedding feast.

5 But they made light of it, and went, one to his own land, and another to his commerce.6 And the rest, laying hold of his bondmen, ill-treated and slew [them].7 And [when] the king [heard of it he] was wroth, and having sent his forces, destroyed those murderers and burned their city.8 Then he says to his bondmen, The wedding feast is ready, but those invited were not worthy;

9 go therefore into the thoroughfares of the highways, and as many as ye shall find invite to the wedding feast.10 And those bondmen went out into the highways, and brought together all as many as they found, both evil and good; and the wedding feast was furnished with guests.11 And the king, having gone in to see the guests, beheld there a man not clothed with a wedding garment.12 And he says to him, [My] friend, how camest thou in here not having on a wedding garment? But he was speechless.13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him feet and hands, and take him away, and cast him out into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.”

2 Corinthians 1:3-5 “3 Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassions, and God of all encouragement;4 who encourages us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to encourage those who are in any tribulation whatever, through the encouragement with which we ourselves are encouraged of God.5 Because, even as the sufferings of the Christ abound towards us, so through the Christ does our encouragement also abound.”

1 Kings 19:9-21 “9 And there he went into a cave, and lodged there. And behold, the word of Jehovah [came] to him, and he said to him, What doest thou here, Elijah?10 And he said, I have been very jealous for Jehovah the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I am left, I alone, and they seek my life, to take it away.11 And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before Jehovah. And behold, Jehovah passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and broke in pieces the rocks before Jehovah: Jehovah was not in the wind. And after the wind, an earthquake: Jehovah was not in the earthquake.12 And after the earthquake, a fire: Jehovah was not in the fire. And after the fire, a soft gentle voice.

13 And it came to pass, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entrance of the cave. And behold, a voice [came] to him and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?14 And he said, I have been very jealous for Jehovah the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I am left, I alone, and they seek my life, to take it away.15 And Jehovah said to him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus; and when thou comest, anoint Hazael king over Syria;16 and Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint king over Israel; and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah shalt thou anoint prophet in thy stead.

17 And it shall come to pass, [that] him that escapeth the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay; and him that escapeth the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay.18 Yet I have left [myself] seven thousand in Israel, all the knees that have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth that hath not kissed him.19 And he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was ploughing [with] twelve yokes before him, and he with the twelfth; and Elijah went over to him, and cast his mantle on him.20 And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and I will follow thee. And he said to him, Go back again; for what have I done to thee?21 And he returned back from him, and took the yoke of oxen, and killed them, and boiled their flesh with the implements of the oxen, and gave to the people, and they ate. And he arose and went after Elijah, and ministered to him.”

Philemon 1:1-7 “1 Paul, prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timotheus the brother, to Philemon the beloved and our fellow-workman,2 and to the sister Apphia and to Archippus our fellow-soldier, and to the assembly which [is] in thine house.

3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.4 I thank my God, always making mention of thee at my prayers,5 hearing of thy love and the faith which thou hast towards the Lord Jesus, and towards all the saints,6 in such sort that thy participation in the faith should become operative in the acknowledgment of every good thing which is in us towards Christ [Jesus].7 For we have great thankfulness and encouragement through thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother.”

Acts 28:11-15 “11 And after three months we sailed in a ship which had wintered in the island, an Alexandrian, with [the] Dioscuri for its ensign.12 And having come to Syracuse we remained three days.

13 Whence, going in a circuitous course, we arrived at Rhegium; and after one day, the wind having changed to south, on the second day we came to Puteoli,14 where, having found brethren, we were begged to stay with them seven days. And thus we went to Rome.15 And thence the brethren, having heard about us, came to meet us as far as Appii Forum and Tres Tabernae, whom when Paul saw, he thanked God and took courage.”

Do you have life in Christ? The beliver in the Lord Jesus should be living a life rooted in the Lord Jesus Christ the one who gives life abundantly. God desires for us to be a testomony for our Saviour, Jesus Christ. When people notice you at school, college or work do they see something of the life of Christ in you? 

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation 

John 20:30-31 “30 Many other signs therefore also Jesus did before his disciples, which are not written in this book;31 but these are written that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing ye might have life in his name.”

Colossians 3:1-4 “3 If therefore ye have been raised with the Christ, seek the things [which are] above, where the Christ is, sitting at [the] right hand of God:2 have your mind on the things [that are] above, not on the things [that are] on the earth;3 for ye have died, and your life is hid with the Christ in God.4 When the Christ is manifested who [is] our life, then shall *ye* also be manifested with him in glory.”

1 Thessalonians 1:2-10 “2 We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you at our prayers,3 remembering unceasingly your work of faith, and labour of love, and enduring constancy of hope, of our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father;4 knowing, brethren beloved by God, your election.

5 For our glad tidings were not with you in word only, but also in power, and in [the] Holy Spirit, and in much assurance; even as ye know what we were among you for your sakes:

6 and *ye* became our imitators, and of the Lord, having accepted the word in much tribulation with joy of [the] Holy Spirit, 7 so that ye became models to all that believe in Macedonia and in Achaia:8 for the word of the Lord sounded out from you, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith which [is] towards God has gone abroad, so that we have no need to say anything;9 for they themselves relate concerning us what entering in we had to you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve a living and true God,10 and to await his Son from the heavens, whom he raised from among the dead, Jesus, our deliverer from the coming wrath.”

The Gospel message brings hope to sinners far from a holy God. We read in the scriptures the blood that Jesus shed at Calvery’s cross is the basis for a sinner to be forgiven and redeemed to God. Wonderful news. Have you come to Jesus? Are you washed in the blood of the lamb?

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation 

1 John 1:7-9 “and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin.8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us [our] sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.”

Psalm 51:1-15 “51 Be gracious unto me, O God, according to thy loving-kindness; according to the abundance of thy tender mercies, blot out my transgressions.2 Wash me fully from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.3 For I acknowledge my transgressions, and my sin is continually before me.

4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done what is evil in thy sight; that thou mayest be justified when thou speakest, be clear when thou judgest.5 Behold, in iniquity was I brought forth, and in sin did my mother conceive me.6 Behold, thou wilt have truth in the inward parts; and in the hidden [part] thou wilt make me to know wisdom.7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.8 Make me to hear gladness and joy; [that] the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.11 Cast me not away from thy presence, and take not the spirit of thy holiness from me.12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, and let a willing spirit sustain me.13 I will teach transgressors thy ways, and sinners shall return unto thee.

14 Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.15 Lord, open my lips, and my mouth shall declare thy praise.”

Glad tidings means good news. The Gospel is preached to annouce the wonderful news of a Saviour, Jesus Christ who came into the world to save sinners. In this Gospel you will hear about an ethiopian eunuch who was traveling to Jerusalem. On his way he was reading Isaiah 53 and he wanted to know who it was speaking of. God sent an Philp an evangelist with a message of good news. After seeing Jesus as the Saviour he needed the ethiopian eunuch trusted in Jesus as Saviour and Lord. 

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation 

Acts 8:26-40 “26 But [the] angel of [the] Lord spoke to Philip, saying, Rise up and go southward on the way which goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza: the same is desert.27 And he rose up and went. And lo, an Ethiopian, a eunuch, a man in power under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to worship at Jerusalem,

28 was returning and sitting in his chariot: and he was reading the prophet Esaias.29 And the Spirit said to Philip, Approach and join this chariot.30 And Philip, running up, heard him reading the prophet Esaias, and said, Dost thou then know what thou art reading of?

31 And he said, How should I then be able unless some one guide me? And he begged Philip to come up and sit with him.32 And the passage of the scripture which he read was this: He was led as a sheep to slaughter, and as a lamb is dumb in presence of him that shears him, thus he opens not his mouth.

33 In his humiliation his judgment has been taken away, and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.34 And the eunuch answering Philip said, I pray thee, concerning whom does the prophet say this? of himself or of some other?

35 And Philip, opening his mouth and beginning from that scripture, announced the glad tidings of Jesus to him.36 And as they went along the way, they came upon a certain water, and the eunuch says, Behold water; what hinders my being baptised?38 And he commanded the chariot to stop. And they went down both to the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptised him.39 But when they came up out of the water [the] Spirit of [the] Lord caught away Philip, and the eunuch saw him no longer, for he went on his way rejoicing.40 And Philip was found at Azotus, and passing through he announced the glad tidings to all the cities till he came to Caesarea.”

Titus 2:11-15 “11 For the grace of God which carries with it salvation for all men has appeared,12 teaching us that, having denied impiety and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, and justly, and piously in the present course of things,13 awaiting the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ;

14 who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all lawlessness, and purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous for good works.15 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise thee.”

TItus 3:3-6 “3 For we were once ourselves also without intelligence, disobedient, wandering in error, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, [and] hating one another.4 But when the kindness and love to man of our Saviour God appeared,

5 not on the principle of works which [have been done] in righteousness which *we* had done, but according to his own mercy he saved us through [the] washing of regeneration and renewal of [the] Holy Spirit,6 which he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;”
