     | 133 views

    1 Samuel 15:22 says that Obedience is better than sacrifice. An obedient heart can alone please God. It is also stated in the Word that God is not interested in the hearers of His Word alone but the Doers of His Word.

    Obedience is something that pleases the Heart of God. That is what exactly God is seeking from His people. It is also considered better than sacrifice. He is interested in the Doers of His Word. Great and amazing blessings follow an obedient heart. We are gonna look into a few examples from the ...read more

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jul 5, 2025

Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 1 Samuel 13:8-14; 1 Samuel 15:1-28 Supporting Texts: Numbers 20:7-12, Deuteronomy 28:15, Ezekiel 34:2-10, James 3:1, Hebrews 12:25 INTRODUCTION: Leadership in God’s kingdom carries great responsibility.

     | 750 views

    Obedience is the foundation of spiritual authority and divine favour. God does not accept substitutes for obedience—sacrifice, talent, position, or charisma cannot replace a heart yielded to Him.

    Esther: A People Redeemed, Hope Revealed.

    Contributed by Andrew Moffatt on Jul 18, 2025
     | 470 views

    The story of Esther and her place in the history of the Jewish people is fascinating in that it speaks of God's providence all the while not mentioning God. It deepens our understanding of his care for us and for all people. Hope is revealed, what part do we play now?

    Immense blessings lie ahead for Israel in a coming day. We will look at these as contained in Jeremiah. They are wonderful. We draw applications for us Christians also. Part 1 considers shepherds after God’s own heart.

    Sermon # 47 - Avoid The Hot East Wind Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Feb 9, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 469 views

    God sent the hot east wind to rebuke the prophet Jonah. If we want to avoid the hot east wind from blowing over our lives we must set aside pride and disobedience and live in humility and obedience to the sovereign Lord.

    Our meditation is based on Jonah 4:8, “After the sun had risen, God sent a hot east wind, and Jonah was about to faint from the heat of the sun beating down on his head. So he wished he were dead. "I am better off dead than alive," he said.” (GNB) Jonah was a prophet of God who preached ...read more

    God Tests Obedience, Not Loyalty - By Pastor Ondu Joseph

    Contributed by Joseph Ondu on Feb 17, 2025
     | 589 views

    Loyalty without obedience is meaningless. God does not test how much we claim to love Him; He tests whether we will follow His commands. Let us strive to be not just hearers of the Word but doers, walking in full obedience to His will.

    Scripture: 1 Samuel 15:22 - "But Samuel replied: 'Does the LORD delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the LORD? To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams.'" Introduction: Many believers equate loyalty to God with ...read more
