You've probably heard people say that they have 'great faith'. But surely, this can be very deceptive. A vague, undefined notion of 'having faith' or 'being spiritual' or 'believing in a higher power' has no substance. It is merely a state of mind. Or you may have great faith in an unworthy object -

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 m

Where did humanity’s sorrow, guilt, and separation from God begin? In the Garden of Eden, Adam possessed honour, innocence, fellowship, and joy, yet sin robbed him of everything God intended him to enjoy. When God called, “Adam, where are you?” He was asking a question that still reaches every human

Have you ever been completely lost and unable to find your way home? The Bible uses the familiar picture of wandering sheep to describe the spiritual condition of every human being. We may appear confident, respectable, and in control, yet God sees how far our hearts have wandered from Him. But Isai

Everyone who ever met the Lord Jesus Christ is never the same again. Either they moved away from Him with the knowledge that they had rejected Him, or they believed His message and received from Him the gift of God’s salvation. Yes, coming into contact with Christ is a pivotal point in a person’s li

Throughout history, memorials have been raised to honour those who died so that others might live in freedom. But there is one death that stands above every other sacrifice - the death of the Lord Jesus Christ. His life was not taken from Him against His will; He deliberately laid it down because of

Here at Anchorpoint, we believe that the gospel message is the greatest story every told. The message itself never grows old. It tells us the most glorious, yet relevant truths we need to hear today. And people need to hear it. In our message today, speaker Dan Shutt takes a look at God’s way of sal

From childhood, Brody Thibodeau knew that he needed to be saved and that Jesus Christ had died for sinners. But one troubling thought repeatedly held him back: “If I get saved, my life will have to change.” Sports, friends, university parties, and the increasing busyness of adult life offered one di

The apostle John wrote that it is possible to know that we possess eternal life. Listen to it: “The blood of Jesus Christ, God’s Son, cleanses us from all sin.”  Yes, religious activity cannot cleanse a sinful heart or make us acceptable to God. We may speak about God, attend meetings, say prayers,

What does Jesus mean to you? Sadly, while mingling with crowds here and there through our daily lives, it is easy to know what Jesus means to many. His name is openly slandered and cursed upon. Would you curse upon something or someone dear and precious to you? I don’t think so. What has He ever don

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, remov

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 A

“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

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 bas

It's quite obvious that there is a lot of ‘brokenness’ of the world around us. he ‘whys’ may not all be answered, but there IS purpose in it all. God is not finished with this world yet. And Christians? Well, He’s helping us to focus on what really counts, testing our love and devotion, and developi

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 experi

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 gre

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

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

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 sh

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 s

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

Given the fact that 100 out of 100 people die, it makes sense that we should think about it, doesn't it? With a Saviour available to us all, the subject is not all doom and gloom. There is wonderful hope in the Christian message that you will find nowhere else. Maybe the next 30 minutes will be the
