Sharing The Good News In A Hostile World Series

Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Mar 18, 2025

Sharing the Good News in a hostile world is not easy, but it is necessary. The world may reject the message, but we must remain faithful, knowing that God is with us. Just as Peter and John could not keep silent about Jesus, we must boldly proclaim His name.

Sermon # 3 - Going The Wrong Way Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 28, 2024

What is God’s purpose for establishing the church? Are we fulfilling this purpose or running in the wrong direction like Jonah did? As a church may we realize our purpose and fulfill it at all cost.

We read in Jonah 1:3, “But Jonah rose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD. He went down to Joppa and found a ship going to Tarshish. So he paid the fare and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish, away from the presence of the LORD.” (ESV) The word of the Lord we saw in the ...read more

Jesus The Controversialist Series

Contributed by David Owens on Apr 17, 2023

Mark portrays Jesus as strong and bold as He dealt with spiritual controversies "head on." In this section of Mark, he grouped together four incidents that showed how Jesus faced the controversies and taught the truth. We need to ask ourselves if we are more like Jesus or the Pharisees.

A. Let me begin with a question: when you try to picture Jesus in your mind, how do you picture Him? 1. Do you picture Him being gentle, meek and loving? Certainly, He was all those things. 2. But Jesus also had other characteristics and other sides to Him. 3. When we read the Gospel accounts, ...read more

I've Never Been That Bad!

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Sep 30, 2020

Titus 3:3 makes some pretty bold accusations about those who have not come to Jesus for salvation! Many will be offended by this and even declare that they have never been that bad. But, even though we all WERE that bad He di not leave us there! Praise His Name Forever!!!

I’ve Never Been THAT Bad! Titus 3:3-5 “At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures.

Your Superpower - 2 Peter 1:3 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Nov 10, 2024

It’s always a fun question to ask, “If you could have one superpower, what would you want it to be?” But the far more important question is this: “What would you do with it?” If God gave you unlimited access to divine power for the next 30 days, how would you use it?

Look at the first three words of 2 Peter 1:3 "His divine power …." That’s an awesome set of words—His divine power. They’re awesome words and their intriguing words, because so much of the frustration of life comes from not having the power we need. Wherever there’s failure in your ...read more
