    Blessed For Life Series

    Contributed by Dr. Lewis W. Gregory on Dec 14, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 392 views

    Mary, the mother of our Lord Jesus Christ, was just like many of us—a person of low estate. Actually, all humans are of low estate compared to God. Yet, in spite of Mary's poor and obscure background, God chose to bless her to be the mother of our Lord.

    “And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord. And Mary said, My soul does magnify the Lord, and my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior. For He has regarded the low estate of His handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all ...read more

    As Christians, we must submit to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Why? (Title and sermon material adapted from Joel Preston of Sermon Central on this same Scripture Romans 14:7-12)

    HoHum: “Who’s the Boss?” was a TV show that ran in the 80’s. A widower and former pro baseball player, Tony Micelli takes a job as a housekeeper from a high powered divorced executive, Angela Bower, and her son. Tony and his daughter, Samantha, move into the Bower home, where Tony’s laid back ...read more

    A Study Of The Book Of Revelation, 5: Things Which Shall Be; 6 Seals. Series

    Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Jun 16, 2015
     | 4,719 views

    Revelation 6. Quickly John sees an overview of either world history of the final Tribulation. Whichever it is, it clearly will be re-visited in the book. Revelation is not in chronological order. The end of chapter 6 is the end of the world!

    3. The things which will take place after this (6-22) Generally speaking then, the rest of the book is part 3 of the Lord’s outline for John (1:19). Here is where the going gets tough. Here is where sequential methods of book-reading will not work. Part 3 starts with chapter six, which ...read more

    Hosea’s own personal tragedy fades into the background as Israel is examined under God’s searchlight. The events of this chapter summarize what Gomer has done and what Israel has done. What happens to Gomer will happen to Israel.

    THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: In a recent survey it was found that 15 percent of the ladies tinted their hair, 38 percent wore rouge, 98 percent wore eye shadow, 22 percent wore false eyelashes, 93 percent wore nail polish. And 100 percent voted in favor of a resolution condemning any kind of false ...read more

    "coming Home"

    Contributed by David Henderson on Dec 3, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,735 views

    This is perhaps one of the most powerful stories in Scripture to me because the two people who Jesus interacts with come from two completely different backgrounds -one from a nice, comfortable home and one from a home that was filled with pain.

    “Coming Home” Mark 5:21-43 One of my heroes in Scripture is the great apostle Paul. Of the 27 books in the New Testament, we believe at least 13 were written by him. About one half. One of those was his letter to the church in Ephesus and in chapter 3 and verse 20 he says this... “Now to HIM who ...read more

    The moment we professed faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, we became members of God’s family sons and daughters of the Loving Living God. Whatever our background, whatever our differences, we are all one in Christ Jesus.

    WE BELONG! Call to Worship - 1 John 3v1 GNB See how much the Father has loved us! His love is so great that we are called God's children---and so, in fact, we are. This is why the world does not know us: it has not known God. Reading: Ephesians 2v14-22 Read again: v19-20 People need people! ...read more

    God Can Use Anyone As A Destiny Helper Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Mar 11, 2025
     | 352 views

    Destiny helpers are people whom God strategically places in our lives to assist us in fulfilling His purpose. Sometimes, these helpers are not the people we expect—God can use anyone, regardless of status, background, or position, to be a channel of blessing.

    GOD CAN USE ANYONE AS A DESTINY HELPER By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 2 Kings 5:2-3 "And the Syrians had gone out by companies, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maid; and she waited on Naaman’s wife. And she said unto her mistress, Would God my lord were ...read more

    In times of financial stress, God knows the pressures on us. Our problem is that we want both material and spiritual security at the same time. The answer is faithfulness to the core values of ministry and witness.

    A little snatch of dialogue from a television show caught my attention. Could it be true, or was it just so much pretentious hype? Could it be right, or was it just another exercise in excuse-making? The character who spoke, I noticed, was dressed tres chic and lived in a lavish house with a ...read more

    Holding On To My Faith Part 3 Series

    Contributed by Gregory Newhouse on Jan 13, 2022
     | 3,343 views

    We get weary sometimes in waiting for the promises of God to materialize. Our faith must have the right direction, because the results of our faith will always be determined by the direction of our faith.

    Intro: So far in the last two weeks we have talked about the importance of our faith. We started our study back in Romans chapter 4 dealing with one of the most incredible examples of faith, Abraham. While looking at him we discovered in week 1 that our faith must have duration, because we get ...read more

    True Success

    Gives the characteristics of true success from Scripture: spiritual riches not material wealth; righteousness and humility not prominence or position; and spiritual insight not human wisdom or education.

    True Success When you look ahead to your future, if you’re normal, you want to have a successful future. In fact, the desire for success drives many of our most important decisions. Something that will make us successful, we do, and something that will make us unsuccessful, we try not to do. We ...read more

    We get so involved with material things that sometimes we forget about the most precious gifts. The ones that God left for us under the tree.

    "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh ...read more
