People often have very negative thoughts about God – that He wants to control their lives and, even worse, wants to make them miserable. But that is not the God of the Bible! God is loving, patient, kind, generous. Every good thing! And His greatest desire for us is to be forgiven of our sins, removed from our sorrows, delivered from our fear and pain, and to be in a place of peace and joy in His presence forever. He wants al...

It's a common mistake for many people to think that there is something they have to DO to gain acceptance with God. An individual may rightly begin to realize a sense of need in their own soul - a need to have matters settled with God - a need to have their sins forgiven. Maybe you’re listening to Anchorpoint today with a desire to have the salvation that the Bible speaks of. Or maybe, you are merely curious about these thing...

“Amazing Grace” is a truly beautiful song. But how sad that many music artists around the world while lending their beautiful voices and instrumental skills to the song hardly appreciate what the song is truly all about! Well, it contains the simple gospel message of the awareness of sin, the grace of God in saving souls, and the joy of the believer upon receiving that message. Is grace amazing to YOU? Are the words of ...

One of the most well-known verses in the Bible - and you may know it - is John 3:16 – “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him, should not perish but have everlasting life.” A beautiful verse - the gospel in a nutshell! Well, today's message is based on the verse that follows John 3:16 - and here's how it reads, "For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn...

The Bible says that the “preaching of the cross is foolishness to them that perish. But unto us which are saved, it is the power of God.” The cross of Calvary is the central focus of the Word of God. The prophets of old looked forward to it, those who lived at the time of Christ saw the cross experience with their own eyes, and we, today, look back at it as an accomplished fact. This week’s message focuses on the ...

There are many Bible stories about how the Lord Jesus Christ healed the sick and dying. He was known as the “Great Physician” whose compassion and healing power attracted multitudes of sad and afflicted people. But not all people were drawn to the Saviour – in fact, the religious people were His greatest critics! They felt they had no need of Christ in their lives. He exposed their hypocrisy and sin – and th...

The Gospel of John, chapter 9, is entirely dedicated to the story of one poor blind man and his encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ. It was one of the “sign” miracles that the apostle John included in his gospel – miracles that displayed the glory of God in Christ. This man was blind from birth and would never be able to see apart from divine intervention. How similar to this is our own condition. We are also bli...

The problem with understanding the Bible for just about all of us is that we all come to the Bible with our OWN way of thinking. We've already decided what God is like and what we are like. Unfortunately, it is usually a very wrong assessment. In the gospel of Luke, Chapter 15 the Lord Jesus Christ tells a story that we know now as 'the prodigal son'. But there is more to the story than the son who left home for a far country and l...

You know, the Lord Jesus Christ was the Great Physician. Multitudes of people came to Him with various ailments and were instantly healed. We have one such story in the Bible of a woman who had spent all of her money on medical remedies but continued to grow worse. Her time was running out. Would she admit that she needed help? Her life depended on it. In this week’s message, we look at  this woman’s story in more ...

Without a doubt, the most monumental location affecting every human being who has ever lived is the place called Calvary. It was the place where heaven’s love and heaven’s justice met. What an individual does with this place will determine the greatest matter in the universe – the salvation of the soul. So, if you have never been to Calvary, we trust that today you will find yourself at the foot of the cross with ...

The gospel message we hear today is often a confusing one. How often is sin preached? What about the need for genuine repentance? Or the judgment that awaits the Christ rejecter? Do we hear much about the sound Biblical doctrines behind the gospel message? We desperately need to get back to what the Bible actually says. This week’s broadcast looks at the writings of the Apostle Paul in the book of Romans as he discusses one o...

One of the marvellous attributes of God is His wonderful kindness. Titus Chapter 3, for example, says in verse 4 and 5 the following tremendous words: “But after that the KINDNESS and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us.” God is certainly kind toward us.The most extravagant expression was in the giving of His Son over 2000 ...

Our message today could well be called the Gospel of Ruth, as this Old Testament book not only tells a captivating story of love and loss but also gives us a wonderful illustration of the tender dealings of God with sinners and His plan for their redemption – the good news of the gospel, if you will. For in this story, we have a needy soul - an outcast really – and how God moved in a miraculous way to meet her need. Lik...

Conditions in our world today appear to be setting the final stage for the great event known as the rapture of the church or the return of Christ. He came to this earth the first time as a man in order to die for sin - to provide salvation for fallen mankind. He will come the second time to call His loved ones home. We should all ask ourselves the question, "Will I go to be with the Lord when He returns? Or will I be left here with...
