    Thorns And Grace (July 2012).

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Aug 14, 2020
     | 6,974 views

    Perhaps one of the most intriguing passages of scripture is that of Paul's mention of the "thorn in his flesh." Paul expounded upon his metaphor of the thorn as he said that it was something that kept his pride in check.

    THORNS AND GRACE 2 Corinthians 12:1-10 I remember going barefoot as a ten year old kid, when I was living in Aiken as a preacher’s kid. As I was going barefoot, I wound up stepping on a board that had three nails in it. The pain got my attention and definitely ...read more

    Have you seen the bracelets with colored beads that people use to share their faith? What does the blue stand for and what does it encourage us to do? Check out this message from our Family Minister Scott Jewell.

    I think every preacher has at least one funny baptism story they can share. Here’s mine. When Elizabeth was 7 years old, she convinced us that she was ready to commit her life to Jesus and be baptized. We knew she understood what she was doing when she told us she was praying for God to give her a ...read more

    We give and we give to this and to that... we take up offerings and write out tithe checks, but what is the most important aspect about giving? In our story today we find 2 people whose heart was NOT right when giving to God and they are harshly dealt wit

    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.

    Looking at the historical and scientific background of the bible and how you can know it is the word of God. It inspires us abou the truth of God's claims and remids us that the central part of our belief is God in history and that Jesus did rise from the

    Where did the bible come from? Have you ever stopped and looked at a bible, wondering ‘Where did this thing come from?’. I mean seriously, where did this thing come from? For Muslims the answer is simple, Mohammed recited the Koran to his followers. Mohammed died in 632 AD. Ali a ...read more

    "coming Home"

    Contributed by David Henderson on Dec 3, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,800 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

     | 1,427 views

    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
     | 591 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.

    God Raises Ordinary Men For Extraordinary Purposes Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Aug 2, 2025
     | 149 views

    Many people feel disqualified or unworthy of being used by God because of their background, mistakes, or lack of qualifications. However, throughout Scripture, we see a consistent pattern: God delights in raising ordinary men and women to accomplish extraordinary things.

Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 1 Chronicles 11:10-47 Supporting Texts: Judges 6:11-16, 1 Samuel 16:11-13, Acts 4:13, 1 Corinthians 1:26-29, 2 Corinthians 4:7 INTRODUCTION: Many people feel disqualified or unworthy of being used by God ...read more

     | 15,161 views

    The first step on the road to blessing and refreshment is to admit you are morally bankrupt. When you check the bank balance of your moral power to do right and to be right, you must admit to yourself there are insufficient funds and you are morally overd

    Dishonest Weights

    Contributed by Bala Samson on Jun 20, 2013
     | 4,835 views

    God checks your bag (life) if there are dishonest scales and ill-gotten wealth or looted money; if you are enjoying and making use of the benefits of a product that you have not paid for, this also gets added to the category of ‘loot’.

    Dishonest weights • Deuteronomy 25:13 "You shall not have in your bag differing weights, a heavy and a light. • You shall not have in your house differing measures, a large and a small. • You shall have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and just measure, that your days may be ...read more

     | 4,321 views

    This month we are going to look at a series of questions that are asked in the texts as we make our way to the cross. In each of these questions is an element of faith - and a reality-check about our individual faith that should cause us to question, think, and decide.

     | 5,574 views

    The words of Jesus about ‘eating His flesh and drinking His blood’ have caused a lot of misunderstandings and divisions. But the all-knowing God is really checking to see if we will trust Him even if we don't understand!

    Often blessings come disguised as trials and problems. Life is not just how you are building. Life can be about what you are building. This problem and trial could be a disguised blessing. The victory opportunity is before you. Check your motives.
