    You have heard me say this before that TRIALS WILL BRING OUT THE BEST IN YOU OR THEY WILL BRING OUT THE WORST IN YOU. I want to say to you this morning that if you are going through a trial it is God’s purpose to use it to bring out the best in you, and t

    We choose our level of closeness to God

    Ichabod or Ebenezer 1 Samuel 4, 6 June 22, 2014 Morning Service The Problem of Spiritual Drift Spiritual drift always begins with desire. The desire for a relationship with God was lost.

    King Saul started well, but ultimately shipwrecked his faith. God's Word is given to us so that we may learn and avoid the pitfalls of the enemy.

    Slipping by Degrees Text: 1 Samuel 13:5-14, 1 Samuel 15:1-35 OPEN WITH PRAYER AND THANKSGIVING One of the saddest things to see, at least to me, is someone who - by all appearances seemed to be a Christian, fall into sin and apostasy. Not let me make that clear… I said, someone who “seemed” to ...read more

    In her prayer, she asked God for a son, and in return, she vowed to give the son back to God for the service of God. She promised he would remain a Nazarite all the days of his life.

    Hannah Hannah was barren - until she meekly asked for a son from God, promising that she would dedicate him to God. Childless as one of the two wives of Elkanah, she prayed for a son, promising to dedicate him to God. Her prayers were answered, and she brought the child Samuel to Shiloh for ...read more

    Divine Helpers In Unlikely Places Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Mar 11, 2025
     | 635 views

    God often provides help from unexpected sources and through people we least expect. Divine helpers do not always come as wealthy benefactors or influential figures. Sometimes, they are found in unlikely places—individuals whom society has overlooked, rejected, or considered insignificant.

    DIVINE HELPERS IN UNLIKELY PLACES By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 1 Samuel 22:1-2 "David therefore departed thence, and escaped to the cave Adullam: and when his brethren and all his father's house heard it, they went down thither to him. And every one that was in distress, and every ...read more

    Goliath was a mighty warrior, a giant over 9 feet tall, armored with bronze. David was a shepherd boy, inexperienced in war, young. In the natural, David did not stand a chance against Goliath. But David was carrying something that Goliath did not have the anointing of God.

    SERMON TITLE: "IT WASN'T THE STONE — IT WAS THE ANOINTING!" Main Text: 1 Samuel 17:45-50 "David said to the Philistine, ‘You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have ...read more

     | 9,555 views

    The devil seeks to terrorise our own souls, but he will fail. In the end Satan cannot snuff out the anointing within us.

    THE MASSACRE OF THE INNOCENTS. Matthew 2:16-18. You might not be surprised if I told you that the devil is pacing up and down in this earth as an adversary, like a lion seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8). Satan (literally, the Adversary) boasted of the same thing long ago when he appeared ...read more

    This is the ninth message in my series on David. The house of the Lord always adds much to us when we come to worship. Sometimes our motives are not the best but God still works out the rough places of our character by His grace.

    Only God sees the genuine qualities on the inside of each of us. When looking for a partner whether in business or relationships, desire God's discernment. Never choose based on sight. In spite of David's hidden qualities, he is rejected in his own house.

    Sin has consequences in our lives. The text is the story of two men, Saul and David and how they handled their sin.

    “Two Responses to Sin” October 9, 2005 Today is a message dealing with a very uncomfortable topic. Sin has become an issue that all too often churches don’t want to address and don’t want to deal with.

    This is a special day set aside to honor our mothers, and grandmothers, because we love them so deeply.

    Often a mother’s assignment in life is very difficult. Now if anything negative can be said about mothers, it would be about the names they give their children. I personally think they should pass a law that allows a child that reaches the age of 10 or 12, to have a chance to select the name that ...read more
