Sunday Praise with Bill Craig
Welcome to Bill Craig’s Sunday Praise Program Website

Sunday Praise is a Christian program designed to encourage the Christian listener through music that praises our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and through scripture that edifies and lifts up, along with short stories and illustrations that deliver the point home. The point being that Jesus Christ is the only Way, Truth and Life. (John 14:6) Yes, there is always a message for the unsaved: we must repent and have that new birth. We need to be born again. (John 3:3) I have had the privilege of hosting Sunday Praise since 2001 on Joy 1250. Having been saved through the gospel message on Christian radio I have a passion to get the good news out.
I was saved late in life, at 45 years old; and that was over 20 years ago. I can relate to many of the stories I read on the program because I was raised in a non-Christian home which was quite rough at times.
The Word of God is my constant companion; the Word causing me to grow through the years with God the Holy Spirit teaching me. I have also enjoyed much good teaching through church pastors and Christian radio. I love my quiet times in the morning reading and meditating on God’s Word. At bed time my reading consists of sermons and Christian biographies.
Early in my Christian walk I decided not to keep Jesus and His saving grace a secret. I carry gospel tracts with me at all times and ask God to open witnessing opportunities and He does.
The good Lord has given me the ability to select songs for the program that dovetail the stories and scriptures together. In these uncertain times we live in, we certainly need encouragement; and we need to be challenged. Of the challenge is as much for me as it is for you dear listener friend. As Christians we are always under construction. As I look back upon my failures as a Christian I see it as times when I was not fully surrendered to God (The Holy Spirit). God wants to do His work through us.
Putting the program together usually takes two full days of preparation; but I find it works so much better now that I have totally surrendered all to God.
May there be something every week that touches your heart. The time slot at JOY 1250 is 4-5 PM on Sundays.
In Christ’s Love,
Bill Craig
