    I. "AND IF I BE LIFTED UP FROM THE EARTH, WILL DRAW ALL MEN UNTO ME" A. A more unlikely prophecy than this was ever addressed to human ears: 1. When the words were spoken it might well seem that the ministry of Jesus had ended in failure 2. He had proclaimed His divine message, and it had fallen ...read more

    The Offense That Saves

     | 163 views

    The message of the Cross has never been popular. It was not popular in Corinth when Paul wrote these words, and it is not popular now. The world has always had a problem with the Cross.

    ---The Cross as Crisis--- Beloved, the message of the Cross has never been popular. It was not popular in Corinth when Paul wrote these words, and it is not popular now.

    The Danger Of Following God With Human Wisdom

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Aug 5, 2025
     | 129 views

    God is not seeking experts; He is seeking the obedient. Following Him requires that we crucify our natural wisdom and embrace divine instruction. There is danger in depending on human intelligence to navigate spiritual assignments. Such a path leads to error, frustration, and loss.

    THE DANGER OF FOLLOWING GOD WITH HUMAN WISDOM By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 1 Corinthians 1:18-25 “For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God…” (1 Corinthians 1:18) Supporting Texts: Proverbs 3:5-7, Romans 8:6-8, ...read more

    Theme: How does the story of Jesus’ death and resurrection “destroy the wisdom of the wise” and bring comfort to their heart and mind?

    P: "Christ is risen! C: He is risen indeed! Alleluia!" P: In the path of righteousness is life, C: and in its pathway there is no death. (Proverbs 12:28) Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Who here is righteous? What does righteous mean to you? If ...read more

     | 158 views

    In a world that seeks wisdom and power, we are here to explore the foolishness of the cross, which is the only true power of God for salvation.

    Introduction: A Tale of Two Wisdoms Grace and peace to you from God our Father. The world preaches its own gospel around us. It preaches self-reliance. It promotes human achievement. It is the gospel of worldly wisdom. It tells you to be smarter and stronger. It tells you to be more successful. It ...read more

     | 233 views

    4 of 8. The apostle Paul related that the wisdom of the Cross-work of Christ, was seen as foolishness by those who were perishing. The wisdom of the Cross can be misinterpreted. But How can wisdom be properly interpreted? Foolish Wisdom is interpreted thru...

    Contributed by Dean Courtier on Sep 24, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 338 views

    Wisdom is often measured by how many books you’ve read, how many degrees you have, or how clever your answers sound. But James—the half-brother of Jesus—reminds us that true wisdom is not about showing off knowledge but about living it out

    Go! And Walk in True Wisdom - James 3:13 James 3:13 – New Living Translation “If you are wise and understand God’s ways, prove it by living an honourable life, doing good works with the humility that comes from wisdom.” Introduction – The Question of Wisdom Let me begin with a question: How do ...read more

    The Cross Marks The Spot

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 7, 2025
     | 89 views

    At Calvary, heaven’s greatest treasure was revealed — where justice and mercy meet, sin is broken, and every seeker finds redemption through Christ’s cross.

    INTRODUCTION — THE TREASURE WE’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR Every child dreams of buried treasure. We’ve all seen the movies — a worn map, a red “X,” a promise whispered through time: “Somewhere out there, something precious is waiting to be found.” But what if I told you that the greatest treasure in the ...read more

     | 341 views

    Have you ever faced a moment when following Jesus simply didn’t make sense? When His Word cut across what the world calls “reasonable”? Maybe you’ve read something in Scripture and thought, “Lord, this is hard to understand!”

    Go! And Follow When It’s Hard to Understand John 6:60 (NLT): “Many of his disciples said, ‘This is very hard to understand. How can anyone accept it?’” Introduction: When Faith Doesn’t Make Sense Have you ever faced a moment when following Jesus simply didn’t make sense? When His Word cut across ...read more

    A Quieted Soul

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 17, 2025
     | 73 views

    Psalm 131 invites restless hearts into humility and hope—trusting God’s presence over answers, like a weaned child content with mother.

    It’s easy to worry. Anxiety is normal. Fear is expected. There’s plenty to be anxious about. I once heard a guy on the radio say, “Anyone who doesn’t have high blood pressure these days just isn’t paying attention.” And maybe he’s right—because we live in a world wound tight with hurry and ...read more

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Nov 17, 2025
     | 32 views

    Jesus urges His followers to be aware of stumbling blocks - whether they are in our path or blocks that we might place in the paths of others. He calls us to demonstrate radical forgiveness - modeled after his scandalous grace.

    In response to the ridicule of the Pharisees and their propensity to greed and service to mammon, Jesus turns aside to his disciples with some very important and challenging comments. He begins by noting that they and we should… Recognize Reality (1-3a) Luke 17:1 ESV And he said to his disciples, ...read more

    Contributed by Youth Sermons on Mar 5, 2024
    based on 4 ratings
     | 1,071 views

    The main idea is to understand two theories of atonement - Penal Substitution and Christus Victor - and to explore the significance of Jesus' death on the cross in defeating the powers of evil.

    You know that cross necklace you wear, or the one you see people wearing? It's more than just a cool piece of jewelry. It's a symbol of something huge that happened a long time ago. Jesus died on a cross, and that changed everything. But why did He have to die, and why does it matter so much? Let's ...read more
