    Communion is a celebration of the One who opened what we could not open ourselves – the door of Heaven. He opened it on the cross and then He walked through the door of death and He waits for us on the other side where He will call us by our name and welcome us into His Temple.

    Dealing With Contradictions

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jun 8, 2021
     | 3,566 views

    As Christians, we live in world that is foreign to us. We live in a world that contradicts the life that Jesus lived - a life that He said we could also live. This message examines the reasons why we face contradictions in our lives and how to deal with them.

    In the Gospels, Jesus uses a method of teaching known as parables to communicate principles about the kingdom of God. A parable compares two things by placing them side by side. By using parables, Jesus compares the unfamiliar, the kingdom of God, to the familiar, nature and life experiences. ...read more

    Jesus says we can do the works that He did. So why aren’t more Christians doing them? This message identifies nine reasons why the body of Christ, in general, is not doing the works of Jesus.

    Jesus’ Reality, My Reality For the most part, the Church, the body of Christ, doesn’t understand who it is as it relates to being part of God’s family. Please turn to 1 John 3.

    By faith, be certain of what others cannot be certain; see what others cannot see; and hear what others cannot hear.

    If I were to ask the question, “What is faith?” I’m sure I would get a variety of responses from all of you.

    Sinners In The Hands Of An Angry God

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Feb 22, 2025
     | 726 views

    The reality of God’s wrath against sinners is not a subject to be taken lightly. Many are living carelessly, assuming that judgment will never come, but the Bible warns that God’s patience has a limit. Every sinner is only one step away from eternal damnation if they do not repent.

    SINNERS IN THE HANDS OF AN ANGRY GOD By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Deuteronomy 32:35 "To me belongeth vengeance, and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste."
