Luke 23:44-46 – The Cross of Christ Is God’s Waiting Room (April 7, 1996)MP3 / YouTube
The resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead is an amazing story.  It is heartwarming, inspiring and absolutely true.  Will the living Lord find you in the waiting room?   All the pain in God’s waiting room has been borne by the Great Physician, the Lord Jesus Christ.  Every Christian has entered God’s waiting room and is waiting for the return of Christ to take them back to be with Himself.  The only way to get into God’s waiting room is faith in the One, who loved you, died for you, and rose again.  The only way we can take advantage of what Jesus has done for us is to believe on Him for everlasting life. The Christian can also learn something in God’s waiting room. Jesus died the way He lived His life, in confident trust of His loving heavenly Father.  The cross of Jesus Christ is not only God’s waiting room, where we wait confidently for the coming of His Son, but it is also our school room where we learn to trust God through all our lives.  If you have trusted in Jesus Christ for everlasting life, then you can trust Jesus for everything else regardless of what it may be.

What Is Discipleship? (April 22, 1990)MP3 / YouTube
In this message given at Jansen Bible Church shortly after the publication Absolutely Free! (1989), Zane Hodges answers the following questions: What is faith?  What is saving faith?  What is the message that must be believed in order to be saved? What is a disciple? How is being a Christian different from being a disciple?  What is repentance?  What are the basic views of repentance and its connection with salvation?  What is the only book in the New Testament that professes to bring men to salvation? How many times does the Gospel of John mention repentance? What is lost when a Christian sins? Is repentance a requirement for salvation?  What happens in the life of a Christian who refuses to repent? Is a awareness of sin necessary for a person to be saved? How is a call to repentance broader than the call to salvation? Where was the Apostle Paul converted? What is the relationship between divine sovereignty and human responsibility?
