Jesus only saves SINNERS! Jesus saves anybody who recognizes they are a sinner and ask Jesus for salvation. I Corinthians 6:9-11 makes it very clear that Jesus saves fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, effeminate, abusers of themselves with mankind, thieves, covetous people, drunkards, revilers and extortioners. Joshua 2 explains that Rabah the harlot was a true believer when she helped Israel destroy her city, but Joshua 6:22-23 reveals she saved her entire family from destruction. Matthew 4:23-25 reveals the type of people who listened to the sermon on the mount, but also there were there listening some who said they prophesied in the name of Jesus, they cast out devils in the name of Jesus, and in the name of Jesus did many wonderful works, but Jesus said he never knew them. Luke 23:39-43 states that Jesus even saved the thief on the cross, a man so worthless the Roman government put him to death! John 3, John 7:45-53 and John 19:38-39 declares that Jesus also saved religious, but lost people, such as Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea, a secret disciple because he was afraid of the Jews. Jesus can save anybody, even you, if you are lost. Come to Jesus and confess your sins to him and him alone. He knows all about you and he can and will forgive you and freely give you eternal life.

The sermon challenges believers to examine whether their interactions with the church are driven by cynicism or charity, arguing that true faith manifests as abounding love toward brethren. It contrasts the world's tendency to focus on flaws with the biblical call to see others through the eyes of faith, recognizing their unique status as children of God. By weaving together passages from 2 Thessalonians, 1 John, and 1 Corinthians, the message emphasizes that charity is the greatest of the three theological virtues, requiring patience, kindness, and the rejection of envy or judgment. The tone is convicting yet pastoral, urging the congregation to put away childish behaviors and consistently exercise long-suffering love, which never fails.

This is lesson 6 in the "Life of Elisha" series. A great woman had her great faith tested. Her greatest joy became her greatest sorrow. She didn't have her faith shaken by her trial, she had her faith shaped by her trial. Her son died and lived again because his mum had faith in God. May God help us to see life from the dead as we trust in the God of resurrection power. May God also help us to overcome calamity by faith in Him.

This week on Wheat Among the Tares, we reach back into our program archives to air a program that features Pastor Erik Klerk, Pastor of Shepherd's Grace Baptist Church in Sandpoint Idaho, USA. Pastor Klerk's story, as he describes in this episode, details his search for the truth in the midst of spiritual confusion through the myriads of various Bible translations and exactly who is right...

This sermon examines the fifth petition of the Lord's Prayer, focusing on the radical and voluntary nature of forgiveness as taught in Matthew 6:12. By analyzing Old Testament passages such as Psalm 85 and Psalm 32, the message defines forgiveness not merely as the covering of sin but as a necessary step toward reconciliation and the restoration of fellowship. The teaching contrasts the immense debt humanity owes to God with the minor offenses committed against us, using the parable of the unforgiving servant to illustrate that our capacity to forgive should mirror the grace we have received. It challenges the listener to overcome pride and the desire for vindication, arguing that withholding forgiveness hinders one's relational standing with God, even if it does not affect eternal justification. Ultimately, the sermon calls for an intentional, Christ-like posture of grace, urging believers to forgive others freely and immediately to maintain a close and unimpeded relationship with the Father.
