    no matter the difficulties, never, never give up; God has a plan for you

    But this precious treasure—this light and power that now shine within us—is held in perishable containers, that is, in our weak bodies. So everyone can see that our glorious power is from God and is not our own. We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed and broken. We are ...read more

    Wake Up, Church! Awaken Our Hearts Series

     | 6,519 views

    After all is said and done, we need to be living our lives like Jesus lived. We need to awaken our hearts by filling our hearts with the things of God, and living the life modeled by Jesus.

    Many in our country today are claiming to be “woke”. But as we have seen over the past few weeks the church needs to become “woke” — the church needs to wake up, stand up, and defend all that is right, all that is true, all that is holy. Evil is all around. Sin is running rampant. It’s time ...read more

    Sometimes life makes us feel like we're getting pummeled. We're get pounded with left hooks and uppercuts and we don't have a chance to cover up and defend ourselves. Is this an appropriate analogy of how some of your days go? What can we do when life hurts?

    WHEN LIFE HURTS Does this picture depict how you feel sometimes? My Uncle Jeff passed away recently. He had three kids; one of whom used to attend here-Eric. Jeff's daughter, Chelsea, posted this picture on Facebook and I commented on it. What I shared is incorporated in the sermon. 1) When ...read more

     | 381 views

    Every believer will face pressure at one point or the other. The Christian life is not a promise of ease, but of victory through Christ. Trials, afflictions, and opposition are real, but God uses them as tools to strengthen us and empower us for our next level.

Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 2 Corinthians 4:7-10 Supporting Texts: James 1:2-4; Romans 5:3-5; Isaiah 43:2; Psalm 66:10-12; 1 Peter 5:10 INTRODUCTION: Every believer will face pressure at one point or the other.

    What we think determines what and who we are. It’s not our background, heredity, or environment. It’s what we choose to think about that has the greatest influence upon our lives. In this message we'll look at our need to look at God's Goodness, God's Greatness, and God's Nearness.

    Do you ever wonder why many Christians don't seem so different from the world? There is a difference between true believers who follow after Jesus and Luke warm, name, only Christians who are just floating through this world, and using Christianity as a crutch.

    Matthew 7:21-23 (KJV-BRG) Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and ...read more
