Saving Grace

The last days, the end of time - there is much talk about what the future holds for the human race. But what did Christ say about the end of time? Our guest, Dr. Ron Rhodes, author of Jesus and the End Times, will help us glean from scriptures, the truth we need to prepare for the days that are surely coming.

Christ warned us that in this world we would have trials. We see increasing persecution, growing division, mass killings, good called evil and evil called good. Has God lost control? Not at all. He has overcome.

“Does God really care about us? Is He really good? Is He great enough to solve our problems?” We are graced yet again with the presence of Dr. Dave Anderson, Founder and President of Grace School of Theology, who have also said, “… if God permits trials as I grow up in faith, He will also provide the consoling truth that can sustain my hope through undeserved suffering.”

Back with us in today’s episode is Pastor Anise Irfan, a pastor leading a thriving ministry in Pakistan, despite the overwhelming challenges that the churches face daily.

Our guest today has an incredible story of danger, of excitement and of God’s work in a country where it is so difficult to serve Him without being under threats. God shows up and allows this pastor to do an incredible ministry in Pakistan.

If we were to review your life’s record today, what would it reveal? Many of you will have a few things you’re proud of and happy to reveal but maybe there will also be other things in your life that you regret, things that you might feel embarrassed to reveal. This is where God’s mercy and grace come in. But what about the life record of Christ?

Is Jesus the Messiah? Well as Christians, we are certain that He is. But are we prepared to defend what we believe? Mark Rae continues our series on the uniqueness of Christ, with a look at Christ’s unique role as Messiah, the Anointed One.

As we continue our series on the uniqueness of Christ, we recall from our last two programs His unique reality in all eternity. Christ’s unique relationship to God the Father. The equality that He claimed and the power and authority that are Christ’s. Today, we’re going to consider Christ’s unique request. You may be surprised that it comes with the ordinance of communion.

For all who believe in Jesus for forgiveness of sins and eternity with Him, we have been given a beautiful relationship into the family of God. But no relationship is quite like that between the Father and the Son…

Today we begin an exciting five-part series on uniqueness of Christ. Did you know there is no other religion that makes the claim that the Bible or Christ Himself makes about His eternal existence? Christ’s miraculous conception, the prophecies fulfilled about His coming, and His exultation that transcends time and space gives us a glimpse of Christ’s uniqueness.

Today we complete our Advent series, The Right Time, with a look at the Shepherds. What was the status of a shepherd in the society of that day? How did they respond to the angelic hosts? How did they prepare for the arrival of Christ?

Have you ever headed to a destination and realised you were on the wrong route? As we continue our Advent Series, The Right Time, we will travel with the wise men to see what navigation tools they used to find the right path to the new born King and their response to the Christ Child.

Our faith in Christ gives us hope for tomorrow and for eternity. But what happens to one’s faith when God is silent for 400 years? As we continue our Advent series, The Right Time, we will consider Simeon and his example of faith and praise.

As we continue our Advent Series: The Right Time, we will consider Joseph – his heart and his behavior as he, too, prepared for the arrival of Jesus. The Reverend Mark Rae returns to provide insight into the character Joseph.

We have become so familiar with the beauty of the Christmas story. But perhaps we have failed to make a personal connection with the people in the biblical narrative who were awaiting the arrival of the Messiah. To kick off this 5-part Advent series, The Right Time, Rev. Mark Rae will re-introduce Mary, the mother of Jesus. Why was she favored, and how did she respond to the news Gabriel delivered?

How would one briefly describe God’s majesty, His interaction with, and master plan for mankind? Well, our Psalmist David wrote a beautiful song in Psalm 8, that does just that. Our speaker, Reverend Mark Rae, will help us glean from this beautiful passage, the truth of God’s sovereignty and grace over all creation.

Does the chaos in the world or in your life asks, “Who is in charge?” Even as Christ followers, do we live as though we really believe God will have the final victory? Our speaker today takes us to Psalm 48 to the song of the sons of Korah, as a lesson on trusting that God is who He says He is, and will do what He says He will do.

Have you found it difficult to find joy in the midst of suffering? Once again, we can turn to the Psalms for insight. Our speaker, Reverend Mark Rae will take us through Psalm 16 for help in finding the joy we so desperately need through difficult times.

We know that the Psalmist David was a songwriter, but has God given you a song? How do you discover the words God might want you to sing? Psalm 65 helps us to develop the story that becomes our song, and the Reverend Mark Rae will guide us through the steps.

Did you know that a rich, full life is available to believers, even in the direst circumstances? How can that be? The Psalmist David provides some answers in Psalm 34. Today, the Reverend Mark Rae will continue the Songs of Praise series with the Psalmist David’s answers to abundant living, regardless of circumstances.
