    1. The Comfort of God's Pledge (Luke 12:32) Jesus begins with a word of reassurance: “Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom.” This is a comforting reminder that our Heavenly Father’s desire is to bless us with His kingdom.

     | 1,106 views

    The Rapture refers to the moment when Jesus Christ will return to take His faithful followers to be with Him. It is a glorious hope for believers but a moment of great regret for the unprepared.

    Title: PREPARING FOR THE RAPTURE By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain ...read more

    That's Why We Are Not Discouraged

    Contributed by Michael Stark on May 29, 2020
     | 15,582 views

    Stress and Disappointment come into every life. Christians are provided a powerful response to such stressors, and this powerful response is revealed in Paul's review of his own life.

    “We have this treasure in clay jars to show that its extraordinary power comes from God and not from us. In every way we’re troubled but not crushed, frustrated but not in despair, persecuted but not abandoned, struck down but not destroyed. We are always carrying around the death of Jesus in our ...read more

    I want you to remember that part of that exciting anticipation is His promise to reward His servants for a job well done. Tonight, I want you to see that Scripture not only supports the idea of eternal rewards, it spells out the specifics.

    Crowns Anyone! 1 Corinthians 3:10-14NASB Bob Carlyle, who sang Butterfly Kisses a few years back, also sang these words in the song Heaven: “Sometimes this tired old world starts bringing my heart down, but you gotta bear the cross if you want to wear the crown.” To have ...read more

    Seeing The Miraculous In The Mundane

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jul 27, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 12,402 views

    Jesus' first sign was quiet, not at all spectacular as one might have supposed. Yet, what He did at that time anticipates God at work in the mundane. He performs the miraculous in the mundane facets of life on any given day.

    “On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. Jesus also was invited to the wedding with his disciples. When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, ‘They have no wine.’ And Jesus said to her, ‘Woman, what does this have to do with me? ...read more

    This sermon continues the study of Jude by exploring how believers are called to remain grounded in God's love, even amid internal threats to the Church. It emphasizes the role of spiritual disciplines—building faith, prayer, and hopeful anticipation of Christ.

    This week we are continuing our series in Jude. If you were with us last week you’ll remember that we talked about how the things that we need to look out for in the church are the times when we notice someone seems to only ever have complaints, and specifically with a purpose of creating division. ...read more

    Turning Whiners Into Winners Series

    Contributed by Rick Duncan on Oct 1, 2002
    based on 66 ratings
     | 11,627 views

    In this message, we’ll learn how simply building a dream team to rebuild something that’s broken isn’t enough; we must anticipate the trainwrecks that can create whining, foster a losing attitude, and derail the rebuilding project.

    I’m going to state the obvious. It’s more fun to win than it is to lose. Winning puts a smile on our faces. But what does it take to win? Quitters never win and winners never quit. Whiners never win and winners never whine. Turning whiners into winners Series: Here’s hope: Rebuilding a ...read more
