    Are You Saved? Are You Sure?

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Mar 23, 2023
     | 2,878 views

    Jesus warns that there exists people who appear to be serving Him, though they are lost. Therefore, He challenges each person to ensure that He has been born from above.

    “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And ...read more

    Where Should We As A Nation Put Our Trust?

    When a man is lost in the desert, he may experience a mirage. That is, he may look out over the sands, and in the distance see what appears to be a lake, shimmering in the sun.

    His goal is to get to the lake and obtain water to satisfy his thirst. As he travels toward the “lake”, the lake seems to maintain it’s distance, or at some point just disappears. IT WAS A MIRAGE! Such an experience only brings disappointment and tragedy to the individual who believes the mirage is ...read more

    Are Sinners More Successful Than Godly People?

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jun 24, 2025
     | 156 views

    Sinners may appear to succeed, but it is a shadow without substance. Their end is sorrow unless they repent. The godly may seem to struggle now, but they are building an eternal reward that cannot be taken away.

    ARE SINNERS MORE SUCCESSFUL THAN GODLY PEOPLE? By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Psalm 73:1-17 Supporting Texts: Jeremiah 12:1-3, Job 21:7-15, Malachi 3:13-18, Luke 16:19-31, Matthew 6:33 INTRODUCTION: Throughout history, one puzzling question believers have asked is why the ungodly seem to ...read more

    Confession Without Conversion

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jul 18, 2025
     | 161 views

    Confession without conversion is a dangerous spiritual deception. It gives the appearance of salvation without the power of it. God is not impressed with words alone—He looks for a surrendered heart and a transformed life.

    CONFESSION WITHOUT CONVERSION By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Matthew 15:7-9 Supporting Texts: Titus 1:16, Isaiah 29:13, Romans 10:9-10, James 2:17, Matthew 7:21-23 INTRODUCTION: In today’s Christian world, many people confess Christ with their mouths but deny Him by their lifestyle.

    The Realities Of Lack Of Spiritual Foundation

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jul 20, 2025
     | 92 views

    The foundation of any structure determines its stability and durability. This truth also applies to our spiritual lives. Many Christians appear strong on the surface but have no rooted foundation in Christ.

    Resurrection Mercy

    Contributed by David Owens on Apr 2, 2024
     | 726 views

    The crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus provide the mercy of God that all of us need. In John 21, the resurrected Jesus appeared offered Peter the mercy of God that Peter so desperately needed.

    A. How great it is to worship the Lord together today, on the Sunday that many refer to as Easter Sunday, or Resurrection Sunday, because it correlates to the Sunday that Jesus arose from the grave two thousand years ago. 1. Praise God that the tomb of Jesus is still empty! 2. Turn to the person ...read more

     | 1,578 views

    In Acts twenty-four we find the apostle Paul is being held in custody as a common criminal, waiting for his accusers to arrive, and is to appear before Antonius Felix, the governor of Judaea.

    Felix was a politician in every sense of the word. He had risen from being a subservient person, to the position of Governor of Judaea. He got his start through the influence of his brother at the imperial court of Claudius. He married three Princesses, which also elevated his career. The first ...read more

    Have you ever wondered why some people are afraid to progress when conditions appear difficult? Most of us are hesitant to try something new unless we are given guarantees

    Illustration:When Pablo Casals reached 95, a young reported threw him a question: "Mr. Casals, you are 95 and the greatest cellist that ever lived. Why do you still practice six hours a day?" And Mr. Casals answered, "Because I think I’m making progress." Your goal is to make progress every day of ...read more

     | 6,656 views

    The dead appear before God, and all who are not written in the Book of Life- that is, who have not during one of history’s eras put their trust in God- are consigned to the lake of fire.

    "I cannot preach on hell unless I preach with tears." - D.L. Moody "Then death and hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death" (Rev. 20:14) The thousand-year-reign. This is the only mention in the Bible of a thousand-year period during which Christ rules on ...read more

    based on 334 ratings
     | 87,864 views

    When Peter was in prison, awaiting what appeared to be a sure execution, the church prayed without ceasing for him and Peter was set free by an angel of the Lord. Powerful things happen the church prays.

    In the text, we find something taking place that seems to be missing in many churches today – that is church folk praying for church folk. In this particular case, a church member in trouble. The Apostle Peter is on death roll and all petitions to commute his sentence have been exhausted. ...read more
