Various Gospel Messages (Page 2)
The Prodigal Son (25 mins)
Reading from Luke 15, a chapter of lost things, Joel preaches repentance towards God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. In this parable, a rebellious son leaves his father to live his life according to his own desires. This brought him to a point of desperate need. Having repented and returned to his father, his father graciously received and restored his son; who was dead, but is now alive, who was lost, but is found.
God’s Mercy and forgiveness
Jeremy reads from Daniel 9:9 to point out two things about mankind and two things about God. We have rebelled against the holy God, meaning that we are deserving of His eternal judgement of sin. The good news of the gospel is that though God is holy, He shows mercy and forgiveness to those that repent of their sin, and put their trust in Jesus Christ for salvation.
“I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance” (21 mins)
While observing the Lord Jesus receiving sinners, the pharisees judged from a distance, believing they were superior to the publicans and sinners that were sitting with Jesus.

Did you know you can be saved from you sins?

“One Mediator Between God And Men” (56 mins)
Oliver Penfold and Robert O’Neill share the preaching of the Gospel.
