    We should invest ourselves in the Lord, even while suffering.

    Being A Christian Can Be Painful! (I Peter 4:12-19) 1. C. S. Lewis once remarked that “God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks to us in our conscience, but shouts in our pain; it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world.” Today’s sermon is about suffering, trials, and stressful experiences. 2. ...read more

    How God can turn around impossible Situations

    FROM POUTING TO SHOUTING--PSALM 13:1-6 Introduction: In this Psalm we see David’s emotions during the time when he was being hunted as a fugitive by Saul. His powers of endurance are almost gone.

    There are, still today, many congregations that are full of bickering and selfishness. These things tear the church apart and keep them from fulfilling God’s call in their life. Paul addresses this sort of church when he wrote to the church in Corinth. Hi

    1st Corinthians 1:1-9 January 20th, 2002 To hurting congregations! What matters most is what God offers first! Most would say that a recipe for disaster is to take people with different views, ideas, attitudes, backgrounds, and agendas and stick them all in one place. The result would be ...read more

    Nailprints Don't Lie

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 19, 2003
    based on 34 ratings
     | 3,652 views

    Thomas dealt with his loss by postponing his choices and by absenting himself from the community. We do the same; but the nailprints of our shame and our guilt tell the truth about us.

     We respond to loss in a variety of ways. There is no predicting how people will act when they lose something they cherish. I have seen everything from screaming and wailing to solid stoicism to outright laughter. I have conducted funerals where people have wept openly, and others ...read more

    God don’t see him as a man, made in the divine image of God, but as a wild animal, under the control of Satan. He is a man but he is energized from hell, for he comes out of the pit, we’re told this two times.

    Rev.# 45~13:5-10 THE ANTICHRIST 3-6-10 In chapter 13: as we have already stated the two worst people in all of human history appear on the scene. They are called “beasts.” They are not animals; they are called beasts because of the cruelty of their reign. God don’t see him as a ...read more

     | 925 views

    As believers, our perspective on death is different from that of the world. We do not mourn as those without hope because we know that death is not the end.

    FUNERAL SERMON: COMFORT IN THE MIDST OF LOSS By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 (KJV) 13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose ...read more

    When I'm not doing well, it is often because I am going it alone. I don't always let others in. I forget to ask for help; I keep my problems to myself. And though I may not see it, others around me might be doing the same thing.

    Do We Really Need Each Other? Text: James 5:14-16 Many living things need each other to survive. I have lived for most of my life near trees known as Colorado aspens. If you are familiar with this tree, you may have noticed that it does not grow alone. Aspens are found in clusters, or groves. ...read more

    With this talk today I am going to make the case that church attendance is vital because everything you hold dear can be taken away from you. The church offers the best hope on earth of carrying your precious treasures through a dangerous land.

    How do you respond to the work of God in Christians lives and how will you respond when you face opposition?

    It seems to me there are 2 different questions that arise for us in this passage today. The first is this: "How will you respond to the work of God in the lives of his followers? Will you respond with faith, with allegiance to Jesus Christ as Lord or will you reject his claims over you as ...read more
