Genesis 6:5-7 “5 And Jehovah saw that the wickedness of Man was great on the earth, and every imagination of the thoughts of his heart only evil continually.6 And Jehovah repented that he had made Man on the earth, and it grieved him in his heart.7 And Jehovah said, I will destroy Man, whom I have created, from the earth—from man to cattle, to creeping things, and to fowl of the heavens; for I repent that I have made them.”

Ezekiel 18:20 “ The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son;”

Romans 1:16-17 “For I am not ashamed of the glad tidings; for it is God’s power to salvation, to every one that believes, both to Jew first and to Greek:17 for righteousness of God is revealed therein, on the principle of faith, to faith: according as it is written, But the just shall live by faith.”

Romans 1:1-4 “Paul, bondman of Jesus Christ, [a] called apostle, separated to God’s glad tidings,

4 marked out Son of God in power, according to [the] Spirit of holiness, by resurrection of [the] dead) Jesus Christ our Lord;”

Many people today are searching for a way to be forgiven from the things they have done wrong. Often we think by doing good works we can find favour with God. The Bible teaches us that forgiveness is found in one person the Lord Jesus Christ. Listen to this Gospel preaching to find out how you can be forgiven from your sins through the work Jesus completed on Calvary’s Cross.

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation

Psalms 130:1-4 “Out of the depths do I call upon thee, Jehovah.2 Lord, hear my voice; let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.3 If thou, Jah, shouldest mark iniquities, Lord, who shall stand?4 But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.

Psalms 130:7 “because with Jehovah there is loving-kindness, and with him is plenteous redemption”

Luke 5:18-25 “18 And lo, men bringing upon a couch a man who was paralysed; and they sought to bring him in, and put [him] before him.19 And not finding what way to bring him in, on account of the crowd, going up on the housetop they let him down through the tiles, with his little couch, into the midst before Jesus.20 And seeing their faith, he said, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.

21 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason [in their minds], saying, Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who is able to forgive sins but God alone?22 But Jesus, knowing their reasonings, answering said to them, Why reason ye in your hearts?23 which is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk?24 But that ye may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, he said to the paralysed man, I say to thee, Arise, and take up thy little couch and go to thine house.25 And immediately standing up before them, having taken up that whereon he was laid, he departed to his house, glorifying God.“

Luke 7:39-43 “39 And the Pharisee who had invited him, seeing it, spoke with himself saying, This [person] if he were a prophet would have known who and what the woman is who touches him, for she is a sinner.40 And Jesus answering said to him, Simon, I have somewhat to say to thee. And he says, Teacher, say [it].41 There were two debtors of a certain creditor: one owed five hundred denarii and the other fifty;42 but as they had nothing to pay, he forgave both of them [their debt]: [say,] which of them therefore will love him most?43 And Simon answering said, I suppose he to whom he forgave the most. And he said to him, Thou hast rightly judged.”

Luke 7:47-50 “47 For which cause I say to thee, Her many sins are forgiven; for she loved much; but he to whom little is forgiven loves little.48 And he said to her, Thy sins are forgiven.49 And they that were with [them] at table began to say within themselves, Who is this who forgives also sins?50 And he said to the woman, Thy faith has saved thee; go in peace.”

Psalms 32:1-2 “32 Blessed is he [whose] transgression is forgiven, [whose] sin is covered!2 Blessed is the man unto whom Jehovah reckoneth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile!”

Psalms 32:5-6 “5 I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity I covered not; I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Jehovah, and *thou* forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.6 For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee at a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they will not reach him.”

13 And they say to her, Woman, why dost thou weep? She says to them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.14 Having said these things she turned backward and beholds Jesus standing [there], and knew not that it was Jesus.

15 Jesus says to her, Woman, why dost thou weep? Whom seekest thou? She, supposing that it was the gardener, says to him, Sir, if thou hast borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.16 Jesus says to her, Mary. She, turning round, says to him in Hebrew, Rabboni, which means Teacher.

17 Jesus says to her, Touch me not, for I have not yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brethren and say to them, I ascend to my Father and your Father, and [to] my God and your God.18 Mary of Magdala comes bringing word to the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and [that] he had said these things to her.”

2 Kings 18:5-7 “5 He trusted in Jehovah the God of Israel; so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor [among any] that were before him.

Many people today put on a mask and pretend to be someone they are not. Throughout the Bible, there are many examples of men and women who disguised themselves from God. Adam and Eve when they sinned against God sewed fig-leaves together to cover themselves. Mankind has a track record of running, hiding and disguising themselves instead of facing up to our responsibilities. The Bible says, we have sinned and fallen short of God’s glory but the Good News is there is a Saviour, Jesus Christ who offers forgiveness and peace to mankind in the Gospel.

Genesis 3:6-13 “6 And the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a pleasure for the eyes, and the tree was to be desired to give intelligence; and she took of its fruit, and ate, and gave also to her husband with her, and he ate.7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig-leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

8 And they heard the voice of Jehovah Elohim, walking in the garden in the cool of the day. And Man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Jehovah Elohim, in the midst of the trees of the garden.9 And Jehovah Elohim called to Man, and said to him, Where art thou?10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I feared, because I am naked; and I hid myself.11 And he said, Who told thee that thou art naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree of which I commanded thee not to eat?12 And Man said, The woman, whom thou hast given [to be] with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.13 And Jehovah Elohim said to the woman, What is this thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”

Genesis 3:21 “21 And Jehovah Elohim made Adam and his wife coats of skin, and clothed them.”

1 Kings 13:33 “33 After this thing Jeroboam turned not from his evil way,”

1 Kings 14:1-6 “14 At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam was sick.2 And Jeroboam said to his wife, Arise, I pray thee, and disguise thyself, that thou be not known to be the wife of Jeroboam; and go to Shiloh: behold, there is Ahijah the prophet, who told me that [I should be] king over this people.3 And take with thee ten loaves, and cakes, and a cruse of honey, and go to him: he will tell thee what shall become of the lad.4 And Jeroboam’s wife did so, and arose and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. And Ahijah could not see; for his eyes were set by reason of his age.5 And Jehovah said to Ahijah, Behold, the wife of Jeroboam cometh to ask a thing of thee about her son; for he is sick: thus and thus shalt thou say unto her; for it shall be, when she cometh in, that she shall feign to be another.6 And it was so, when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, as she came in at the door, that he said, Come in, thou wife of Jeroboam; why feignest thou to be another? But I am sent to thee with a hard [message].”

1 Kings 14:12-13 “12 And thou, arise, go to thine own house; when thy feet enter into the city, the child shall die.13 And all Israel shall mourn for him, and they shall bury him; for he only of Jeroboam shall come to the grave, because in him there is found something good toward Jehovah the God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam.”

1 Kings 22:29-34 “29 And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth-Gilead.30 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and will enter into the battle; but put thou on thy robes. And the king of Israel disguised himself, and went into the battle.

31 And the king of Syria commanded the thirty-two captains of his chariots saying, Fight neither with small nor great, but with the king of Israel only.32 And it came to pass when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, Surely that is the king of Israel; and they turned against him to fight; and Jehoshaphat cried out.33 And it came to pass that when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back

The Christian pathway is a journey toward heaven. The Bible tells us that if we are faithful and true to the Lord this world will see us as strangers and pilgrims.  In this address, you will hear what means to be a pilgrim for Jesus as we walk through our daily Christian journey.

1 Peter 1:1 “Peter, apostle of Jesus Christ, to [the] sojourners of [the] dispersion of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,”

1 Peter 1:3-9 “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.6 Wherein ye exult, for a little while at present, if needed, put to grief by various trials,7 that the proving of your faith, much more precious than of gold which perishes, though it be proved by fire, be found to praise and glory and honour in [the] revelation of Jesus Christ:8 whom, having not seen, ye love; on whom [though] not now looking, but believing, ye exult with joy unspeakable and filled with [the] glory,9 receiving the end of your faith, [the] salvation of [your] souls.”

1 Peter 1:18-20 “18 knowing that ye have been redeemed, not by corruptible [things, as] silver or gold, from your vain conversation handed down from [your] fathers,19 but by precious blood, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot, [the blood] of Christ,20 foreknown indeed before [the] foundation of [the] world, but who has been manifested at the end of times for your sakes,”

1 Peter 2:1-3 “Laying aside therefore all malice and all guile and hypocrisies and envyings and all evil speakings,2 as newborn babes desire earnestly the pure mental milk of the word, that by it ye may grow up to salvation,3 if indeed ye have tasted that the Lord [is] good.”

1 Peter 3:11-17 “11 Beloved, I exhort [you], as strangers and sojourners, to abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;12 having your conversation honest among the Gentiles, that [as to that] in which they speak against you as evildoers, they may through [your] good works, [themselves] witnessing [them], glorify God in [the] day of visitation.

13 Be in subjection [therefore] to every human institution for the Lord’s sake; whether to [the] king as supreme,14 or to rulers as sent by him, for vengeance on evildoers, and praise to them that do well.15 Because so is the will of God, that by well-doing ye put to silence the ignorance of senseless men;16 as free, and not as having liberty as a cloak of malice, but as God’s bondmen.17 Shew honour to all, love the brotherhood, fear God, honour the king.”

1 Peter 3:14-16 “14 But if also ye should suffer for righteousness’ sake, blessed [are ye]; but be not afraid of their fear, neither be troubled;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;16 having a good conscience, that [as to that] in which they speak against you as evildoers, they may be ashamed who calumniate your good conversation in Christ.”

1 Peter 4:7-8 “7 But the end of all things is drawn nigh: be sober therefore, and be watchful unto prayers;8 but before all things having fervent love among yourselves, because love covers a multitude of sins;”

1 Peter 5:5-7 “5 Likewise [ye] younger, be subject to [the] elder, and all of you bind on humility towards one another; for God sets himself against [the] proud, but to [the] humble gives grace.6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in [the due] time;7 having cast all your care upon him, for he cares about you.:

Over 2000 years ago, Jesus came into this world and journeyed to Calvary’s Cross where he laid down his life for sinners. What a Saviour!

Genesis 4:1-12 “And Man knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bore Cain, and said, I have acquired a man with Jehovah.2 And she further bore his brother Abel. And Abel was a shepherd, but Cain was a husbandman.3 And in process of time it came to pass that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering to Jehovah.

4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock, and of their fat. And Jehovah looked upon Abel, and on his offering;5 and upon Cain, and on his offering, he did not look. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.6 And Jehovah said to Cain, Why art thou angry, and why is thy countenance fallen?7 If thou doest well, will not [thy countenance] look up [with confidence]? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door; and unto thee [shall be] his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.8 And Cain spoke to Abel his brother, and it came to pass when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.9 And Jehovah said to Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: am I my brother’s keeper?

10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood is crying to me from the ground.11 And now be thou cursed from the ground, which hath opened its mouth to receive thy brother’s blood from thy hand.12 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield thee its strength; a wanderer and fugitive shalt thou be on the earth.”

After the Apostle, Paul received Jesus as his Lord and Saviour he desired to share the Gospel with others. In this Gospel preaching, you will hear what happened when he shared the message of Jesus in Philippi.

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation

Acts 16:13-34 “13 And on the sabbath day we went outside the gate by the river, where it was the custom for prayer to be, and we sat down and spoke to the women who had assembled.14 And a certain woman, by name Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, who worshipped God, heard; whose heart the Lord opened to attend to the things spoken by Paul.15 And when she had been baptised and her house, she besought [us], saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and abide [there]. And she constrained us.

16 And it came to pass as we were going to prayer that a certain female slave, having a spirit of Python, met us, who brought much profit to her masters by prophesying.17 She, having followed Paul and us, cried saying, These men are bondmen of the Most High God, who announce to you [the] way of salvation.18 And this she did many days. And Paul, being distressed, turned, and said to the spirit, I enjoin thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And it came out the same hour.19 And her masters, seeing that the hope of their gains was gone, having seized Paul and Silas, dragged [them] into the market before the magistrates;

20 and having brought them up to the praetors, said, These men utterly trouble our city, being Jews,21 and announce customs which it is not lawful for us to receive nor practise, being Romans.22 And the crowd rose up too against them; and the praetors, having torn off their clothes, commanded to scourge [them].23 And having laid many stripes upon them they cast [them] into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely;

24 who, having received such a charge, cast them into the inner prison, and secured their feet to the stocks.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.”

Philippians 4:4-8 “4 Rejoice in [the] Lord always: again I will say, Rejoice.5 Let your gentleness be known of all men. The Lord [is] near.6 Be careful about nothing; but in everything, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;7 and the peace of God, which surpasses every understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts by Christ Jesus.8 For the rest, brethren, whatsoever things [are] true, whatsoever things [are] noble, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever things [are] pure, whatsoever things [are] amiable, whatsoever things [are] of good report; if [there be] any virtue and if any praise, think on these things.”

Why was Jesus on the Cross? Jesus came to this earth over 2000 years ago on a rescue mission. 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. This sin-barrier is too much for us to take on ourselves. In fact, there is no way we can remove it on our own. That is why God sent someone to REMOVE it completely, a Saviour; Jesus Christ. God sent His OWN Son Jesus, to die in your place. He was crucified on a cross and shed His blood for YOU!

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation 

Luke 23:1 “And the whole multitude of them, rising up, led him to Pilate.”

14 said to them, Ye have brought to me this man as turning away the people [to rebellion], and behold, I, having examined him before you, have found nothing criminal in this man as to the things of which ye accuse him;15 nor Herod either, for I remitted you to him, and behold, nothing worthy of death is done by him.

16 Having chastised him therefore, I will release him.17 ( Now he was obliged to release one for them at the feast.)18 But they cried out in a mass saying, Away with this [man] and release Barabbas to us;19 who was one who, for a certain tumult which had taken place in the city, and [for] murder, had been cast into prison.

20 Pilate therefore, desirous to release Jesus, again addressed [them].21 But they cried out in reply saying, Crucify, crucify him.”

Luke 23:33-35 “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.”
