God is looking for two things from you as the Gospel is preached and these are repentance and faith.  The Gospel is a glorious invitiation from God himself and He is desires for you to come into blessing. The Bible teaches us that God is looking for repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation

Luke 15:11-23 “11 And he said, A certain man had two sons;12 and the younger of them said to his father, Father, give to me the share of the property that falls [to me]. And he divided to them what he was possessed of.13 And after not many days the younger son gathering all together went away into a country a long way off, and there dissipated his property, living in debauchery.14 But when he had spent all there arose a violent famine throughout that country, and he began to be in want.15 And he went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.16 And he longed to fill his belly with the husks which the swine were eating; and no one gave to him.

17 And coming to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father’s have abundance of bread, and *I* perish here by famine.18 I will rise up and go to my father, and I will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee;19 I am no longer worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.

20 And he rose up and went to his own father. But while he was yet a long way off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran, and fell upon his neck, and covered him with kisses.21 And the son said to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee; I am no longer worthy to be called thy son.22 But the father said to his bondmen, Bring out the best robe and clothe him in [it], and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet;23 and bring the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and make merry”

Acts 16:25-34 “25 And at midnight Paul and Silas, in praying, were praising God with singing, and the prisoners listened to them.26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison shook, and all the doors were immediately opened, and the bonds of all loosed.27 And the jailor being awakened out of his sleep, and seeing the doors of the prison opened, having drawn a sword was going to kill himself, thinking the prisoners had fled.28 But Paul called out with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm, for we are all here.29 And having asked for lights, he rushed in, and, trembling, fell down before Paul and Silas.

30 And leading them out said, Sirs, what must I do that I may be saved?31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus and thou shalt be saved, thou and thy house.32 And they spoke to him the word of the Lord, with all that were in his house.

33 And he took them the same hour of the night and washed [them] from their stripes; and was baptised, he and all his straightway.34 And having brought them into his house he laid the table [for them], and rejoiced with all his house, having believed in God.”

In the scriptures, there are many characteristics of the Lord Jesus that he desires to share with every believer. In this address, you will hear of the characteristic of the grace of the Lord Jesus and how we can know more of the grace of Jesus.

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation 

John 1:14-18 “14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we have contemplated his glory, a glory as of an only-begotten with a father), full of grace and truth;15 (John bears witness of him, and he has cried, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that comes after me is preferred before me, for he was before me;)

16 for of his fulness we all have received, and grace upon grace.17 For the law was given by Moses: grace and truth subsists through Jesus Christ.18 No one has seen God at any time; the only-begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, *he* hath declared [him].”

2 Corinthians 8:9 “9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that for your sakes he, being rich, became poor, in order that *ye* by *his* poverty might be enriched.”

2 Corinthians 11:24-33 “24 From the Jews five times have I received forty [stripes], save one.25 Thrice have I been scourged, once I have been stoned, three times I have suffered shipwreck, a night and day I passed in the deep:

26 in journeyings often, in perils of rivers, in perils of robbers, in perils from [my own] race, in perils from [the] nations, in perils in [the] city, in perils in [the] desert, in perils on [the] sea, in perils among false brethren;27 in labour and toil, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.28 Besides those things that are without, the crowd [of cares] pressing on me daily, the burden of all the assemblies.

29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is stumbled, and I burn not?30 If it is needful to boast, I will boast in the things which concern my infirmity.31 The God and Father of the Lord Jesus knows—he who is blessed for ever—that I do not lie.32 In Damascus the ethnarch of Aretas the king kept the city of the Damascenes shut up, wishing to take me;33 and through a window in a basket I was let down by the wall, and escaped his hands.”

2 Corinthians 12:1-10 “12 Well, it is not of profit to me to boast, for I will come to visions and revelations of [the] Lord.2 I know a man in Christ, fourteen years ago, (whether in [the] body I know not, or out of the body I know not, God knows;) such [a one] caught up to [the] third heaven.3 And I know such a man, (whether in [the] body or out of the body I know not, God knows;)

4 that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable things said which it is not allowed to man to utter.5 Of such [a one] I will boast, but of myself I will not boast, unless in my weaknesses.6 For if I shall desire to boast, I shall not be a fool; for I will say [the] truth; but I forbear, lest any one should think as to me above what he sees me [to be], or whatever he may hear of me.

7 And that I might not be exalted by the exceeding greatness of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn for the flesh, a messenger of Satan that he might buffet me, that I might not be exalted.8 For this I thrice besought the Lord that it might depart from me.

9 And he said to me, My grace suffices thee; for [my] power is perfected in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather boast in my weaknesses, that the power of the Christ may dwell upon me.10 Wherefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in insults, in necessities, in persecutions, in straits, for Christ: for when I am weak, then I am powerful.”

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation 

John 1:1-5 “1 In [the] beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.2 *He* was in the beginning with God.3 All things received being through him, and without him not one [thing] received being which has received being.4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.5 And the light appears in darkness, and the darkness apprehended it not.”

John 14:15-19 “15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.16 And I will beg the Father, and he will give you another Comforter, that he may be with you for ever,17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see him nor know him; but ye know him, for he abides with you, and shall be in you.

Romans 5:8-10 “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.”

In this ministry word you will hear of four international arrival meeting points from the scriptures.

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation

Matthew 2:1-10 “Now Jesus having been born in Bethlehem of Judaea, in the days of Herod the king, behold magi from the east arrived at Jerusalem, saying,2 Where is the king of the Jews that has been born? for we have seen his star in the east, and have come to do him homage.3 But Herod the king having heard [of it], was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him;4 and, assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ should be born.

5 And they said to him, In Bethlehem of Judaea; for thus it is written through the prophet:6 And *thou* Bethlehem, land of Juda, art in no wise the least among the governors of Juda; for out of thee shall go forth a leader who shall shepherd my people Israel.7 Then Herod, having secretly called the magi, inquired of them accurately the time of the star that was appearing;8 and having sent them to Bethlehem, said, Go, search out accurately concerning the child, and when ye shall have found [him] bring me back word, so that *I* also may come and do him homage.

9 And they having heard the king went their way; and lo, the star, which they had seen in the east, went before them until it came and stood over the place where the little child was.10 And when they saw the star they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.”

Luke 23:38 “38 And there was also an inscription [written] over him in Greek, and Roman, and Hebrew letters: This is the King of the Jews.”

Acts 2:5-6 “5 Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, pious men, from every nation of those under heaven.6 But the rumour of this having spread, the multitude came together and were confounded, because each one heard them speaking in his own dialect.”

1 Thessalonians 4:17-18 “17 then *we*, the living who remain, shall be caught up together with them in [the] clouds, to meet the Lord in [the] air; and thus we shall be always with [the] Lord.18 So encourage one another with these words.)”

The Lord Jesus journeyed to Calvery’s cross over 2000 years ago for you. We read in the pages of God’s word, “ the word of the cross is to them that perish foolishness, but to us that are saved it is God’s power”. If we take a look around us today or even back in history we see one big barrier separating us from a holy and righteous God. That barrier is “SIN”. 

Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners. He journeyed to the cross where he laid down His life for you. By this great sacrifice God is able to cleanse and offer salvation for those who comein repentece and faith to His son, Jesus Christ.

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation 

1 Corinthians 1:17-25 17 For Christ has not sent me to baptise, but to preach glad tidings; not in wisdom of word, that the cross of the Christ may not be made vain.18 For the word of the cross is to them that perish foolishness, but to us that are saved it is God’s power.

19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and set aside the understanding of the understanding ones.20 Where [is the] wise? where scribe? where disputer of this world? has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world by wisdom has not known God, God has been pleased by the foolishness of the preaching to save those that believe.

22 Since Jews indeed ask for signs, and Greeks seek wisdom;23 but *we* preach Christ crucified, to Jews an offence, and to nations foolishness;24 but to those that [are] called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ God’s power and God’s wisdom.25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.”

John 19:17-21– “17 And he went out, bearing his cross, to the place called [place] of a skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha;18 where they crucified him, and with him two others, [one] on this side, and [one] on that, and Jesus in the middle.19 And Pilate wrote a title also and put it on the cross. But there was written: Jesus the Nazaraean, the King of the Jews.20 This title therefore many of the Jews read, for the place of the city where Jesus was crucified was near; and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, Latin.

21 The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate, Do not write, The king of the Jews, but that *he* said, I am king of the Jews.22 Pilate answered, What I have written, I have written.”

John 19:25-37 “25 And by the cross of Jesus stood his mother, and the sister of his mother, Mary the [wife] of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala.26 Jesus therefore, seeing his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, says to his mother, Woman, behold thy son.27 Then he says unto the disciple, Behold thy mother. And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.28 After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now finished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, says, I thirst.29 There was a vessel therefore there full of vinegar, and having filled a sponge with vinegar, and putting hyssop round it, they put it up to his mouth.30 When therefore Jesus had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished; and having bowed his head, he delivered up his spirit.

31 The Jews therefore, that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, for it was [the] preparation, (for the day of that sabbath was a great [day],) demanded of Pilate that their legs might be broken and they taken away.32 The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first and of the other that had been crucified with him;33 but coming to Jesus, when they saw that he was already dead they did not break his legs,34 but one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately there came out blood and water.

35 And he who saw it bears witness, and his witness is true, and he knows that he says true that ye also may believe.36 For these things took place that the scripture might be fulfilled, Not a bone of him shall be broken.37 And again another scripture says, They shall look on him whom they pierced.”

The Gospel is preached that you may be saved. Saved from your sins and brought into newness of life by the work of God’s son, Jesus Christ. Are you saved?

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation

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.”

Isaiah 53: 6 “6 All we like sheep have gone astray, we have turned every one to his own way; and Jehovah hath laid upon him the iniquity of us all.”

Revelation 20:5 “15 And if any one was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.”
