    When The Ark Of God Is Captured By The Enemy

    Contributed by Wilson Oshorakpor on Jun 18, 2021
     | 4,139 views

    The ark of God represents the presence of God. It was the symbol of God's power and glory in the nation of Israel. When the bearer of the ark of God allows sin to reign in his heart, the presence of God departs from the ark.

    TEXT: 1 Samuel 4:10-11 (NLT) "So the Philistines fought desperately, and Israel was defeated again. The slaughter was great; 30,000 Israelite soldiers died that day. The survivors turned and fled to their tents. The Ark of God was captured, and Hophni and Phinehas, the two sons of Eli, were ...read more

    In this sermon we take a look at Samuel's heritage and how he came to minister before the Lord under Eli, and, why the Lord was quiet in the days preceding Samuel's time as the prophet of Israel.

    Sin on the part of believers give opportunities for man - made gods to challenge the authority of believers. However, any attempt of demonic powers to challenge God will always end in failure.

    Israel's desire for a king is used to illustrate the temptation we face to be more like the rest of the world. But even though the world's view of us often chafes, it is God's plan that we be conspicuously different.

    I) After Moses brought the nation of Israel out of Egypt, they did not have a king for many years. A) Unlike the nations around them, they were led by men and women, judges, who were direct intermediaries between God and man. B) Early on, the people tried to make one of those judges, Gideon, into ...read more

    There are four major characters to this time period in Israel’s history: the prophet and judge Samuel, King Saul, King David, and King Solomon.

    When we are touring around Israel in recent trips, my friend and tour guide, Nir likes to say “It’s Good to be King” when he explains certain periods of history and how the monarch availed himself of certain privileges. It’s reference to Monty Python movies of old. Several decades ago, Tom Petty ...read more

    Israel had just repented of idol-worship at Mizpeh. The Philistines, mortal enemies at the time, came close enough to cause Israel panic. Samuel prayed, the LORD delivered, and Samuel established the memorial stone of Ebenezer.

    Ebenezer: The Stone of Help (Based on a sermon preached Sunday evening, May 18, 2025 at New Hope Baptist Church near Fulton, MO. This is not an exact transcription.) Introduction: Ebenezer. The name reminds us (me, anyway) of some characters I’d rather forget—as in, Scrooge. The word almost ...read more

    Sermon # 48 - Words Of Authority Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 29, 2025
     | 205 views

    God has bestowed authority to human beings whom He has created in His own image. This authority was exercised by many men of God all through the bible. However, Jesus was the perfect one whose authority astounded everyone who met or heard Him.

    Today’s meditation is based on Numbers 22:6, “They outnumber us, so please come and put a curse on them for me. Then perhaps we will be able to defeat them and drive them out of the land. I know that when you pronounce a blessing, people are blessed, and when you pronounce a curse, they are placed ...read more

    Thanksgiving Grace

    This Sunday we’ll be looking at how we are to “Say Grace.” While we look at the giving of blessings for the food that we eat, saying grace is so much more, which in turn should literally change the way we thank God for what He has so graciously given.

    Thanksgiving Grace Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RduI0CrSBJA As I approached today’s message, I really didn’t know what the Lord wanted me to talk about. Thanksgiving is over, but the holiday and what it stands for I just couldn’t get off my mind. And then, I was inundated in my time ...read more

    Our Refuge And Strength Series

    This is a sermon for Epiphany Sunday. I've linked Psalm 46 with the hymn "We Three Kings" as a way of reminding ourselves who this child/King is why He is worthy of any all the gifts we have to give Him.

    Samuel could tell by the look on their faces that the elders weren’t making a social call to inquire about his health … and he was right. One of the elders cleared his throat. “Samuel … you are getting old and, well, no offense but we’re more than a little concerned about the future of our ...read more

    As Jonah languished in the belly of the fish, he cried out to God and sought His presence. As believers of the new covenant we have the promise of the presence of the Holy Spirit of God every moment of our lives. May we learn to value God’s presence and live in obedience to His word.

    We read in Jonah 2:4,"Then I thought, 'I have been banished from your sight. Will I ever see your holy temple again?' (GW) After Jonah was swallowed by the big fish that God prepared, Jonah spent three turbulent days and nights in the belly of that fish. At the end of those three ...read more
