Early in the gospel of John, we read these wonderful words spoken by John the Baptist, "Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world." It's as if God himself couldn't wait any longer to introduce to the reader His own well-beloved Son - and who He was - the lamb of God. Have you ever looked at your sins and failures and honestly acknowledged that you are a sinner needing God's forgiveness? Then, a lamb is what you ne... Read more

Anyone who has ever had to stand before a judge knows how uncomfortable and even terrifying it can be. How much more should we be concerned about a heavenly judge - the one who decides our soul's ultimate destiny? Yes, this judge is Christ Himself - the very one sinned against, the very one rejected. It's a solemn thought. The fact that we are guilty as charged goes without saying - but what will the Judge do? What kind of judge is... Read more

Anyone who reads the Bible is familiar with the Apostle Paul - the fanatical Pharisee who hunted and persecuted Christians before he came into personal contact with the Lord Jesus Christ himself. After this, Paul spent the rest of his days seeking to persuade the Jews and others to understand and believe what he had come to know about Christ and God's salvation. Have you never been persuaded of the truth of the gospel? There is no ... Read more

Some people don’t want to hear any bad news. This can have serious consequences when it comes to spiritual matters. The Israelites also did this. They actually wanted their prophets to tell them only good things - or even lies - if it made them feel more comfortable. The true gospel message doesn’t necessarily make you feel good, but it is important to face facts. Only then will you enjoy the blessings of God's good news. So, how a... Read more

Our message today looks at a few of the preponderance of scientific facts that support the worldview of design and theistic creation. Does science in any way disprove the existence of God? Absolutely not! In fact, science points the objective seeker to God, the creator of all of the marvellous world we see around us! Are you a meaningless natural accident living in a world of other meaningless natural accidents? Or are you one of G... Read more

You know, some people have the notion that the God of the Old Testament is somehow different from the God of the New. Many characterize the Old Testament God as austere, judgmental - even severe and the God of the New Testament as loving, compassionate, and forgiving. Well, rest assured that both testaments speak of the same God - the only true and living God, the God of heaven and earth. A holy and offended God calling out to sinn... Read more

Have you ever wondered deep down about your life? Why you're here? Where you're going? Have you ever wondered answers to such questions even exist? Has following a system of religious ideas and practices brought you the peace and purpose you're looking for? Well, the Bible gives the answer to our soul's longings. It's both profound and simple at the same time - "Look unto Me and be ye saved all the ends of the earth for I am God an... Read more

If you're looking for good news, you've come to the right place. Just listen to what God wants YOU to know! How lost and guilty sinners can have their sins forgiven. How sad and weary souls can find rest. How confused and hurting people can come into contact to someone who REALLY cares. You'll hear the elements of the simple gospel message - God's immeasurable love for sinners like us!

One of the most popular parables told by the Lord Jesus Christ is known as the 'Parable of the Talents' where a nobleman goes on a journey to a far country to receive a kingdom, leaving his servants with different amounts of money to use while he was gone. There is an interesting detail that Jesus mentioned in this story - the citizens of the country REJECTED the nobleman saying, "We will not have this man to reign over us." Why di... Read more

The Gospel message is quite clear on this one point - we are ALL quite responsible here and now for what we do with God's offer, and more importantly, what we do with Christ. This message focuses on the 'Three Strong Wills' in our lives - God's will, the devil's will, and our will. You can be certain that God desires your salvation and well-being, a blessing that the devil is also determined to keep from you. But you can also be su... Read more

It was to be the most defining day in Pilate's life - the day that he had to make a choice. An unusual "criminal" stood before him. A prisoner whom he declared completely innocent. But in front of an angry mob an easy verdict turned into the greatest travesty of justice ever perpetrated. What were the factors that would enter into this catastrophic choice? And how many similar choices will be made here and now in our day as individ... Read more

We are faced with many mundane decisions on a daily basis. Most are not that important, but there is a choice that will affect us well beyond on lives here - that will affect us for eternity - the decision to make the welfare of our soul the priority. Yet, most people don't give a moment's thought to where they will be after they die. We hope that today YOU will take the time, here and now, to consider YOUR soul. What way will you ... Read more

There are two brothers in the story of the prodigal son in the Bible. There is the disobedient and unappreciative son who prematurely takes his inheritance and leaves his father's home for a life of sin and excess in the big city. We have his father accepting him with love and forgiveness upon his return. But for his brother who considered himself okay, there was no forgiveness. No rejoicing over a sinning son that returned to his ... Read more

The Bible claims that people are actually slaves - but rather to ourselves - to our own selfish desires - slaves to sin. The Bible says that this puts us into a bondage that we cannot escape through our own efforts. But there is a Saviour that God has provided. Christ came to save you from your sins and to give you freedom indeed.Have you been freed from YOUR shackles of sin? Have you ever had a time in your life when you came to C... Read more

Salvation is only open to those who come "as a sinner" to Jesus. In our world today, there is so much emphasis on 'living and let live' as it were. No one wants to be corrected or questioned in any way. Well, the Bible makes it clear that we all belong under the classification of 'sinners' whether we like the term or not. That makes us all condemned. God longs to embrace the sinner in love and forgiveness. But we need to agree with... Read more

The gospel message that we present weekly on Anchorpoint is really not a complicated one. The message can be expressed in just 25 words. Twenty-five words that can mean the difference between eternal life and eternal death. "This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief."       Yes, the Lord Jesus Christ came to do for us what w...

There is quite a touching account in the Old Testament of the love story between Isaac and Rebekah. Abraham, Isaac's father, initiated a search throughout the land to find the perfect wife for his son. She believed the word that she heard from the seeking servant and left all that pertained to her old life behind. So, what will your answer be? Will you, like Rebekah, consider the offer? Will you also respond, "I will go with this m... Read more

There is a wonderful verse in the Bible, 1 Peter 3:18 - "For Christ also has once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God". Yes, Christ has suffered the momentous judgment of God against sin, opening the way for repentant sinners to avail of God's great gift of salvation. In this week's message, Phil Coulson looks at some Old Testament illustrations and then applies this principle of judgment to wh... Read more

Today's story is all about being wise, not just for this life but for eternity. Do you have the only thing you need when it comes to your closing moments here on earth? When you think of it, what else really matters? What is it? Hear what the Lord Jesus Christ has to say about it in this parable.
