    Jesus is shown by Mark as a servant who acts immediately when God commands. As John prepared the way, Jesus' obedience to the Father is clearly demonstrated. The example then before us is simple: When God speaks, we must respond!

    Let’s live on mission even when ministry is messy.

    We tend to think of negative things when we think of addictions, but there can also be good addictions. For example, I’m addicted to oxygen. Men, if you’re addicted to your wife, that’s a good thing. Women, it’s great to be addicted to your husband. But what about ministry?

    Did you know that a huge addiction is sweeping across our nation? People are addicted to their smart phones! They have to constantly be checking facebook, Twitter, their email, YouTube, Pinterest, or texting. Listen to these startling statistics: —The National Safety Council reports that cell ...read more

    Restoring people to the faith is a vital ministry. Everybody stumbles and many become convinced they can't be successful as a Christian. That's why salvation is by grace. Restore someone with the right attitude.

    Determination In Ministry

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Aug 7, 2025
     | 317 views

    Ministry is not a sprint; it is a lifelong race that demands tenacity, focus, and resilience. Many start well in ministry, but only those who endure to the end will be crowned. Determination is the fuel that keeps a minister moving forward despite trials, discouragement, or opposition.

    DETERMINATION IN MINISTRY By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 1 Corinthians 15:58 (KJV) “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.” Supporting Texts: Philippians 3:13-14, ...read more

    Acts 6:1-7 teaches us about Satan’s attack of distraction and the church’s priorities for ministry.

    Introduction Christians are not immune from trials and difficulties just because they are Christians. Conversion to Christ does not cause our problems to evaporate and disappear.
