We have a bonus episode for you today. You will not want to miss:

He used to stand outside a Vancouver nightclub luring people in from the street.

Now he stands on the same block handing out gospel tracts.

Same corner. Same guy. Completely different mission.

Bashar Muchi’s story is a remarkable testimony of God's grace — Chaldean roots in Iraq (modern day Babylon), fleeing the Saddam regime through the mountains, arriving in Canada with no English, and slowly descending into the drug trade and addiction before God’s grace found him in the back row of a little church gathering in Richmond, BC.

He never gets tired of telling what God has done. You won’t get tired of hearing it.

Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, because after he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life which God has promised to those who love Him.

"Our Lord Jesus is always giving and does not for a single moment withdraw His hand. As long as there is a vessel of grace not yet full to the brim, the oil shall not be withheld.

He is an ever-shining sun; He is manna in unfailing supply; He is a rock in the desert, sending constant streams of life from His pierced side; the rain of His grace is always falling; the river of His bounty is ever-flowing, and the wellspring of His love is a constant tide.

As the King can never die, so His grace can never fail. Every day we pluck His fruit, and every day His branches bend down to our hand with a fresh supply of mercy. There are seven feast-days in His weeks, and as many banquets in His years. Who has ever returned from His door unblessed? Who has ever risen from His table unsatisfied?

His mercies are new every morning and fresh every evening. Who can calculate the number of His benefits or value the extent of His provision? Every passing day we are the beneficiaries of a myriad of mercies.

The wings of our hours are covered with the silver of His kindness and with the yellow gold of His affection. The river of time bears from the mountains of eternity the golden sands of His favor. The countless stars serve as the standard bearers of incalculable blessings. Who can measure the benefits that He bestows on His servant or recount the extent of His mercies toward His own?

How shall my soul extol Him who loads us with daily benefits, and who crowns us with loving-kindness? O that my praise could be as endless as His provision. O miserable tongue, how can you be silent? Wake up, 1 pray, lest I call you no more my glory, but my shame. "Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awake the dawn."

- C.H. Spurgeon

"Zacchaeus … said to the Lord, … if I have taken anything from anyone by false accusation, I restore fourfold." Luke 19:8 NKJV

The law stated a fourfold restoration of what one had stolen (Ex. 22:1). Although Zacchaeus knew the text, he had never felt any compulsion to obey it. But Christ had effected a change that inspired him to obey God’s Word. Salvation came first; transformation second. We are not saved by what we do, but what we do will be different after God saves us. Are you saved? Genuine salvation is always followed by genuine transformation.

Excellent. Take a listen. Be encouraged by the power of the gospel over great darkness.

795+ Lives. One Mission. 🕊️
We often talk about the "culture of death," but what does it look like to actually step into the darkness with the light of the Gospel?

Content warning. There are a couple places in the first 10 minutes where due to the nature of this subject, parents may want to guard small ears.

In our latest episode, we sit down with Scott Hord. Scott moved from the pulpit to the sidewalk, and the stories he shares will leave you speechless—including the story of a man who went from threatening Scott's life to building metal crosses for every baby saved from death.

In this episode:
• Why a "fatherly presence" is a critical piece in rescuing babies.
• Moving the church from the sidelines to the sidewalk.
• The "Mennonite Game": Kevin and Riley discover they share more than just a mission (they share a great-grandfather!).

Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?” John 14:5

Thomas asks a vital question concerning our direction and destiny. There are two ways into eternity, the narrow way that leads to life, and the broad way that leads to destruction (Matthew 7). Be not deceived for there is “a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death” (Proverbs 16:25). Reformation, religion, good works, and sincerity are some ways that seem right, but are false. There is only one way. Jesus said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6). “And there is salvation in no one else” (Acts 4:12). Have you come to Him?
