The Gospel message is about the love of the Lord Jesus Christ. The scriptures tell us that Jesus came into this world because he loved you and He desires for all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth.

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation 

Luke 15:11-24 “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:24 for this my son was dead and has come to life, was lost and has been found. And they began to make merry.”

Luke 23:33-43 “33 And when they came to the place which is called Skull, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, the other on the left.34 And Jesus said, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. And, parting out his garments, they cast lots.35 And the people stood beholding, and the rulers also [with them] sneered, saying, He has saved others; let him save himself if this is the Christ, the chosen one of God.

36 And the soldiers also made game of him, coming up offering him vinegar,37 and saying, If *thou* be the king of the Jews, save thyself.38 And there was also an inscription [written] over him in Greek, and Roman, and Hebrew letters: This is the King of the Jews.39 Now one of the malefactors who had been hanged spoke insultingly to him, saying, Art not thou the Christ? save thyself and us.

40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost *thou* too not fear God, thou that art under the same judgment?41 and *we* indeed justly, for we receive the just recompense of what we have done; but this [man] has done nothing amiss.42 And he said to Jesus, Remember me, [Lord,] when thou comest in thy kingdom.43 And Jesus said to him, Verily I say to thee, To-day shalt thou be with me in paradise.”

John 20:19-20 “19 When therefore it was evening on that day, which was the first [day] of the week, and the doors shut where the disciples were, through fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and says to them, Peace [be] to you.20 And having said this, he shewed to them his hands and his side. The disciples rejoiced therefore, having seen the Lord.”

John 19:24-28 “24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.25 The other disciples therefore said to him, We have seen the Lord. But he said to them, Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and put my finger into the mark of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.

26 And eight days after, his disciples were again within, and Thomas with them. Jesus comes, the doors

The Gospel is God’s invitation to you. Jesus came to this earth over 2000 years ago on a rescue mission to save sinners. The Bible tells us that Jesus went to Calvary’s cross where he took on himself our sins and shed his precious blood to provide salvation.

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation 

Isaiah 45:21-22 “And there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour, there is none besides me.22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I [am] God, and there is none else.”

John 14:6 “6 Jesus says to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father unless by me.”

God desires for all men to be saved and come to a knowledge of the truth. In this Gospel preaching you will hear an account form the book of the Acts when the Apostle Peter begun to share the Gospel of the Lord Jesus with the Gentiles.

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation

Acts 10:33-48 “therefore *we* are all present before God to hear all things that are commanded thee of God.34 And Peter opening his mouth said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons,35 but in every nation he that fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.

36 The word which he sent to the sons of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ, (*he* is Lord of all things,)37 *ye* know; the testimony which has spread through the whole of Judaea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism which John preached—38 Jesus who [was] of Nazareth: how God anointed him with [the] Holy Spirit and with power; who went through [all quarters] doing good, and healing all that were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.

39 *We* also [are] witnesses of all things which he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; whom they also slew, having hanged him on a cross.40 This [man] God raised up the third day and gave him to be openly seen,41 not of all the people, but of witnesses who were chosen before of God, *us* who have eaten and drunk with him after he arose from among [the] dead.42 And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that *he* it is who was determinately appointed of God [to be] judge of living and dead.

43 To him all the prophets bear witness that every one that believes on him will receive through his name remission of sins.44 While Peter was yet speaking these words the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who were hearing the word.45 And the faithful of the circumcision were astonished, as many as came with Peter, that upon the nations also the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out:46 for they heard them speaking with tongues and magnifying God. Then Peter answered,47 Can any one forbid water that these should not be baptised, who have received the Holy Spirit as we also [did]? 48 And he commanded them to be baptised in the name of the Lord. Then they begged him to stay some days.”

Hezekiah was a king of Judah and the scriptures says he did what was right in the sight of the Lord. We can learn a lot from Hezekiah and in this Address you will hear about his reign and the things he did to cleanses the House of God.

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation 

2 Chronicles 29:1-5 “Hezekiah began to reign being twenty-five years old; and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem; and his mother’s name was Abijah, daughter of Zechariah.2 And he did what was right in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that David his father had done.3 He, in the first year of his reign, in the first month, opened the doors of the house of Jehovah, and repaired them.

4 And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered them into the open place eastward;5 and he said to them, Hear me, ye Levites: hallow yourselves now, and hallow the house of Jehovah the God of your fathers, and carry forth the filthiness out of the sanctuary.”

2 Chronicles 29:23-25 “23 And they brought near the he-goats of the sin-offering before the king and the congregation; and they laid their hands upon them.24 And the priests slaughtered them, and they made purification for sin with their blood upon the altar, to make an atonement for all Israel; because for all Israel, said the king, is the burnt-offering and the sin-offering.25 And he set the Levites in the house of Jehovah with cymbals, with lutes, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, and of Gad the king’s seer, and of Nathan the prophet; for the commandment was of Jehovah through his prophets.”

2 Chronicles 30:1-5 “And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of Jehovah at Jerusalem, to hold the passover to Jehovah the God of Israel.

2 And the king took counsel, and his princes, and the whole congregation in Jerusalem, to hold the passover in the second month.3 For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not hallowed themselves in sufficient number, neither had the people been gathered together to Jerusalem.

4 And the thing pleased the king and the whole congregation.5 So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout Israel from Beer-sheba even to Dan, that they should come to hold the passover to Jehovah the God of Israel, at Jerusalem; because they had not held it for a long time as it was written.”

Acts 26:15-23 “15 And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, *I* am Jesus whom *thou* persecutest:16 but rise up and stand on thy feet; for, for this purpose have I appeared to thee, to appoint thee to be a servant and a witness both of what thou hast seen, and of what I shall appear to thee in,17 taking thee out from among the people, and the nations, to whom *I* send thee,

18 to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive remission of sins and inheritance among them that are sanctified by faith in me.19 Whereupon, king Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision;20 but have, first to those both in Damascus and Jerusalem, and to all the region of Judaea, and to the nations, announced that they should repent and turn to God, doing works worthy of repentance.

21 On account of these things the Jews, having seized me in the temple, attempted to lay hands on and destroy me.22 Having therefore met with [the] help which is from God, I have stood firm unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying nothing else than those things which both the prophets and Moses have said should happen,23 [namely,] whether Christ should suffer; whether he first, through resurrection of [the] dead, should announce light both to the people and to the nations.”

Revelation 3:11 “11 I come quickly: hold fast what thou hast, that no one take thy crown.”

1 Thessalonians 1:5-10 “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.”

12 And I turned back to see the voice which spoke with me; and having turned, I saw seven golden lamps,13 and in the midst of the [seven] lamps [one] like [the] Son of man, clothed with a garment reaching to the feet, and girt about at the breasts with a golden girdle:14 his head and hair white like white wool, as snow; and his eyes as a flame of fire;15 and his feet like fine brass, as burning in a furnace; and his voice as the voice of many waters;

16 and having in his right hand seven stars; and out of his mouth a sharp two-edged sword going forth; and his countenance as the sun shines in its power.17 And when I saw him I fell at his feet as dead; and he laid his right hand upon me, saying, Fear not; *I* am the first and the last,18 and the living one: and I became dead, and behold, I am living to the ages of ages, and have the keys of death and of hades.19 Write therefore what thou hast seen, and the things that are, and the things that are about to be after these.”

Ephesians 2:11-19 “11 Wherefore remember that *ye*, once nations in [the] flesh, who [are] called uncircumcision by that called circumcision in [the] flesh done with the hand;

12 that ye were at that time without Christ, aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:13 but now in Christ Jesus *ye* who once were afar off are become nigh by the blood of the Christ.14 For *he* is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of enclosure,15 having annulled the enmity in his flesh, the law of commandments in ordinances, that he might form the two in himself into one new man, making peace;

16 and might reconcile both in one body to God by the cross, having by it slain the enmity;17 and, coming, he has preached the glad tidings of peace to you who [were] afar off, and [the glad tidings of] peace to those [who were] nigh.18 For through him we have both access by one Spirit to the Father.19 So then ye are no longer strangers and foreigners, but ye are fellow-citizens of the saints, and of the household of God,”
