In the famous painting Checkmate, a young man appears to have nowhere to go. The game is almost over—but there is still one move he can make to escape checkmate. The Bible tells us that salvation is found in Jesus Christ alone. God has made the way of escape, but there is a response only you can make: repentance towards God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
There is one move you can make to be saved. The next move is yours.
“Vancouver, Vancouver, this is it!” — the final words of David Johnston as Mount St. Helens erupted in 1980. The rescue mission could not save him. But God’s rescue mission has succeeded. Through Jesus Christ, God has made a way of escape from the coming wrath. The question is: Will you respond while the rescue is available? This Is It. Jesus is calling. Will you come?
When the Israelites were bitten by serpents, God told them to look and live. Jesus said the serpent lifted up in the wilderness pointed to Him. “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, thus must the Son of man be lifted up.” — John 3:14 What are you looking at today or Who are you looking at today? —your problems, your failures, your fears, or your circumstances? Look to Jesus. He is the Saviour, He is our hope and He is the One who gives life.
How great is our God? His greatness is beyond our understanding, yet He has made Himself known through His love for us. “For God so loved the world” that He gave His only-begotten Son, not to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.
In Him we live, move, and exist. Nothing is hidden from His eyes, and every heart and every life is fully known to Him. The greatness of God is seen not only in His power and majesty, but in the depth of His love and His desire to save.
A great God has made a great salvation available to us — through Jesus Christ.
What does it truly mean to be righteous before God? Scripture shows us that all have sinned and fallen short of God’s glory, and that our own righteousness can never make us right with Him. Yet God, in His mercy, has provided a righteousness that comes through faith in Jesus Christ.
From the sinner who turns from his ways, to the humble tax-gatherer who cries, “O God, have compassion on me, the sinner,” we see that God is not seeking our self-righteousness, but a heart that turns to Him.
And as the river in Ezekiel’s vision flows deeper and deeper, bringing life wherever it goes, so the righteousness and grace of God bring forgiveness, transformation, and new life.
God’s righteousness is not something we can earn — it is something God freely gives through Christ.
We have all gone our own way, but the Gospel calls us to a turning point — to turn from our sin and turn to God. This message points to the way to Heaven through Jesus Christ, who bore our sins and delivers us from coming judgment. There is a way back to God. There is a way to Heaven. That way is Jesus. Come and hear the Gospel and discover the life-changing call to turn to God and trust in Christ.
From Hezekiah’s shadow turning back, to the darkness that covered the earth at Calvary; from a light brighter than the noonday sun that changed Paul’s life, to the promise of the Sun of Righteousness rising with healing — these Scriptures reveal a God who brings light into darkness, hope into despair, and life where there seemed to be none.
At the cross, God showed us the depth of His love and opened the way for us to be reconciled to Him. The price has been paid for our sins by the Lord Jesus. The invitation is still available through Christ.
What happens when Jesus passes by? Everything can change. A man who had been blind from birth could now see. A man who had been lame could now walk. Their lives were never the same because Jesus met them where they were. But the greatest miracle is not physical—it is the salvation Christ offers to sinners. The Gospel calls us to repent, believe, and be converted, finding forgiveness and new life through Jesus Christ.
Come and hear what happens when Jesus passes by—and discover what He can do in a life surrendered to Him.
