The Lord Jesus Christ once asked for a drink of water from a woman at a well in a town called Sychar. Not only was He tired and thirsty, He also wanted to teach this woman about ‘living water’ – something that will satisfy forever. Something only HE could give. Today, through this well-known Bible story, speaker Peter Ramsay explains about this ‘living water’ – the water that satisfies, not only for time, but for all eternity!
The wonderful message of the cross is the main theme of the Bible. "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son." How little this stupendous fact crosses the minds of sinful men and women! In fact, it was prophetically written in Lamentations 1:12 - "Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by? Behold and see if there be any sorrow like unto my sorrow which is done unto me wherewith the Lord has afflicted me in the day of His fierce anger." The same question can be asked today. Is it nothing to you?
The story of the prodigal son is a well known story told by the Lord Jesus Christ about a young man who squandered his father’s inheritance and, after losing it all, returned to his father. Graciously, the father welcomed him back. But many do not know about this man’s older brother. The story never ended so well for him. Why? Listen to today’s message to find out.
Well, this week's message is all about the kindness and love of God towards us - and it's a message that we hope will remove any of your hard thoughts about God. His countless blessings on every level are something we should thank Him for every day - not the least of which is the tremendous spiritual blessing of salvation.
We believe that the gospel is the best message you could ever hear. Not only does it save the soul and open the way for an eternity in heaven, it has tremendous affects on people's lives here and now. In fact, the Christian enjoys eternal life - a new life given by God - the moment he receives Christ. So, if there isn't a change in a person's life after meeting the Saviour himself, then there is something definitely wrong. Are you a professing Christian? Has it changed your life?
This week’s broadcast looks at the atheistic worldview and its effect on present day ethical and moral decisions, specifically issues like abortion, designer babies and euthanasia. The four BIG questions of life are considered - origin, morality, meaning and destiny – and the ability of different world views to deal with them. Atheism fails to answer the questions of origin, morality, meaning or destiny. Does that sound like something you would risk your eternity on?

We all have a philosophy - a worldview as it were - the perspective that we take on life. Here on Anchorpoint, we present the Biblical worldview - the way that God would have us to understand Him and ourselves. This week’s broadcast takes a look at the secular take on life with regard to the historical development of Darwin's evolutionary theory and its damaging effect on theological thinking.
There is not a more glorious theme running throughout the Word of God than that of the precious blood of Christ. All of the Old Testament points toward the coming of the Messiah, the Lamb of God. The full and free forgiveness for sins was made available to ALL people through the sacrifice of Christ. Was His precious blood shed for you?
In this week's message we look at an interesting story from the New Testament in which ten lepers had a momentous encounter with the only One who could help them - the Lord Jesus Christ. They were helpless and hopeless. What would Christ do? Well, yes, He healed them. But for one of them, He did much more. Listen about how a short encounter with the Saviour not only restored this man his health and his family but his eternal future as well!
In the Bible, the Lord Jesus Christ answered all the questions that men put to Him. Some were genuine; others were nothing but trickery. But the most important questions were the ones He Himself asked. These were honest questions, questions that really matter. Like the day He asked the people, "What do you think of Me?" What a simple and yet searching question. And He’s looking for honesty in your answer. So, what DO you think of Christ? What is YOUR answer to life's greatest issue?

Did you know that God describes Himself in the Bible? He says He is the ONLY God - there is no other. He says that He is just - perfectly right and fair in His assessment of things. And He says that He is a Saviour. That is, He desires to save those who don't and can't meet up to His holy standards. But how can He do this? Well, there was only one who could do this – the Lord Jesus Christ. He was the holy and sinless One who gave His life to ransom others. Are YOU one of them?He is the isis
Last week we were considering the great truth that the Lord Jesus Christ, the same One who lived here on earth over 2000 years ago, who died for our sins, rose again from the dead, and ascended into heaven, will one day come again. It’s a wonderful and exciting truth for Christians, encouraging our hearts in this sad and dreary scene, and inspiring us to live each remaining day for His glory. But it’s bad news for unbelievers. For them, it will be a tragic surprise. They would be left behind to face the terrible Tribulation and later, judgment for their sins. Speaker Jack Hay, continues on this topic today starting with a reading from 1 Thessalonians Chapter 4 which describes this great event in some detail.
Well, one of the greatest hopes for Christians worldwide is the coming again of the Lord Jesus Christ – the rapture. The apostle Paul says in 1 Thessalonians 4:18, “Comfort one another with these words”. What a joy to know that at any moment Christ could return to take all believers to be with Himself – forever removed from sin and sorrow. Of course, the prospect of the Lord’s return is not a comforting one for those whose sins are not yet forgiven. They are not ready for that shout. Be honest. If that describes you, you should listen to our message today and learn more about this great, soon-coming event, and how you can be prepared.
Our broadcast today deals with our alienation from God - and its consequences. But, here's the good part - there was One who was willing to bear this alienation, this separation for us. It was none other than the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary - where He suffered the separation from God that we should have experienced. It is possible for you to find forgiveness of sins and get to know God personally - to close up that gap of separation once and for all. Interested?
What a glorious message the gospel is! And what a glorious Saviour Jesus is! The one who was made perfect through His sufferings, who by Himself purged our sins on the cross of Calvary, and who passed into the heavens and abides there today awaiting the day when we shall be with Him. Do you have a message any greater than this? Do you have a religious leader greater than this? Do you have a way to God more sure and glorious than this?
The Bible has a wonderful theme throughout it - JOY! This week's message takes a look at the familiar Christmas carol "Joy to the World" and explains how it is that people like you and me can enter into a secure, meaningful, and everlasting relationship with the God of heaven - through our Lord Jesus Christ - and come to know the joy that He wants us to have.
Isaiah wrote over 700 years ago in Chapter 9 and Verse 6 the following words: “For unto us a child is born; unto us a Son is given." We know that this child, this Son, was the Lord Jesus Christ Himself who was born in Bethlehem over 2000 years ago. But He didn’t begin his life there. The Bible says that He was the Creator of all things, the eternal Son of God. He was really born. He really died. He really rose again. And He will ultimately rule the universe as King of Kings and Lord of Lords! Do you know Him?
Speaker Peter Ramsay considers the marvel of the friendship of Christ. He's a personal friend - a friend you need to know one-on-one - personally. He's the prodigal's friend. Have you ever acknowledged that YOU need Him? He's a continual friend - one who will never leave us or forsake us. And He's an eternal friend - His is a friendship that will not end at death. So, how about it? Do YOU have a friend in Jesus? Are YOU saved?
