    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Mar 18, 2025
     | 434 views

    Sharing the Good News in a hostile world is not easy, but it is necessary. The world may reject the message, but we must remain faithful, knowing that God is with us. Just as Peter and John could not keep silent about Jesus, we must boldly proclaim His name.

    SHARING THE GOOD NEWS IN A HOSTILE WORLD By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: "So they called them and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John answered and said to them, 'Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, ...read more

    God is not fooled by our selfish offerings of holiness. Isaiah encourages us to reach out to God for everything that we need, including making the path to our heart clear, and this study demonstrates why knowing Him is so important - because it forces us to see who He is!

    Do we really believe that most non-Christians are lost? Psalm 74:20 says “The dark places of the earth (where the love of God is not known) are full of the habitations of cruelty.” (selfishness, hatred, greed, strife, & violence.) Do they need a Savior, too? YES!

    Count It As Joy

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jul 8, 2024
     | 1,465 views

    When faced with the ungodly things of this world, the Bible tells us to "count it all joy." This message looks at how we can do that.

    Count it all Joy Good evening to the Lord’s beloved. Would you please open to Hebrews 12? I “joined” church when I was 10 years old. Back then it meant the same thing as accepting Jesus. I started out as a baby. I didn’t know anything about being a Christian. That was 57 years, six months and 72 ...read more
