     | 634 views

    Like the widow in 2 Kings 4, you may feel like you have nothing, but God is asking, "What do you have in your hand?" The little you have is enough for God to work a great miracle if you surrender it to Him.

    WHAT DO YOU HAVE IN YOUR HAND? By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 2 Kings 4:1-7 "And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil." – 2 Kings 4:2 Supporting ...read more

    Pentecost was not merely a historical event—it was the dawn of a new era. The Holy Spirit descended, Peter preached with boldness, and hearts were pierced. The crowd, convicted, asked, “What should we do?” - Peter’s response is our focus—a divine blueprint for transformation.

    Go! And Be Transformed: The Call to Repentance and New Life - Acts 2:38 Acts 2:38 (NLT): Peter replied, “Each of you must repent of your sins and turn to God, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the gift of the Holy ...read more

    Many people view Paul's advice in 1 Thessalonians 5:18 as unrealistic and even annoying advice. But he was not naive. He showed us three reasons why we should do it.

    Let's read 1 Thessalonians 5:18 – “give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” The phrase “in all circumstances” means in everything or in all situation. That means when we are sick, face difficulties, fail, or lose someone we love, we are told to give ...read more

    The only man who seemed to know who Jesus was was Pilate, and he says things that make you think he's reading from a script... God's script. Why would that be?

    A group of people volunteered to do a parachute jump for charity. On their first day of training, the instructor made an important point about preparing for landing at 300 feet off the ground.

    Hurricanes, Prayer And Faith

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Sep 16, 2017
     | 9,564 views

    Many of us prayed against Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Jose. But they still happened. Why? Is it because none of us p had faith or too little faith? I believe the answer, from scripture, will be a surprise and an encouragement.

    Hurricane’s Harvey, Irma and Jose. Many people, especially Christians, believe they are God’s judgment on the US because of sin. Predictably, the sins most Christians identify are same sex marriage, the homosexual lifestyle and abortion. None of these behaviors are the reasons why our country is ...read more

    Why does Jesus tell us that each servant received only one mina? (as opposed to the parable of the talents). And what does this parable tell us about our role as stewards of God’s gift?

    OPEN: A famous preacher once delivered a powerful sermon on the subject of “God’s Ownership” and – since it spoke of the things we have belonging to God - this made a certain rich member of the church a little upset. The wealthy man took the preacher to his home for lunch, and then walked him ...read more
