    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jul 4, 2025
     | 370 views

    David’s anointing in 1 Samuel 16 teaches us that God’s standards are not the same as man’s. He chooses the humble, the hidden, the faithful, and the pure in heart.

Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 1 Samuel 16:1-23 Supporting Texts: Psalm 75:6-7, Jeremiah 17:10, Proverbs 4:23, Matthew 23:27-28, 2 Corinthians 10:18 INTRODUCTION: When God rejects one man, He begins preparing another.

    Faithful To The Finish: Moses’ Journey With God PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Sep 24, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 170 views

    Trust God’s promises and choose obedience over comfort, even when fulfillment seems distant, knowing faithfulness is never wasted and Christ is our ultimate hope.

    Some stories are best told at the edge of a vista. You climb a hill, the wind lifts your hair, and the horizon stretches like a promise you can almost touch. That’s where we meet Moses today—high on Nebo, heart full, eyes clear. He can see the land he longed for. He just can’t step into it. Have ...read more

    Sermon: Embracing God’s Light

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Aug 29, 2024
     | 1,113 views

    Human sinfulness causes many to choose darkness over the Light, to run from God instead of running to Him. Believers should embrace God's Light.

    Sermon: Embracing God’s Light Scripture Lesson: John 3:16-21 “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him ...read more

    When we choose to believe in falsehoods over God's truth, we encounter difficulties. Never cease praying and believing until you've sought God's guidance.

    One of the greatest battles we face in life is the battle against spiritual slumber. When we are spiritually asleep, we become vulnerable to the attacks of the enemy. Just as physical sleep can leave us unaware of our surroundings, spiritual sleep can blind us to the schemes of the devil. In this ...read more

    A healthy Christian family is built intentionally, with consistent commitment to God. As Joshua realized, families must choose to serve God or risk drifting toward other spiritual influences.

    Love What Matters Youth Sermon

    Contributed by Youth Sermons on Sep 5, 2023
    based on 5 ratings
     | 812 views

    God's love is eternal and unconditional, unlike the temporary and conditional love of the world. We must make a daily decision to choose God's love and values over worldly desires.

    Imagine you're starving, and you have a choice between a candy bar and a healthy meal. The candy bar might taste good for a moment, but it won't fill you up or give you the nutrients you need. That's like choosing the world's temporary pleasures over God's lasting love. That's like choosing the ...read more

     | 1,096 views

    Jesus showed humility by coming from heaven to earth and washing His disciples' feet. When we choose humility, we reflect Christ to the world around us.

    Imagine this: You're walking down the hall at school and you see a group of kids struggling to carry a huge box. The teacher is just standing there, watching. Then, out of nowhere, the principal comes over, rolls up his sleeves, and helps the kids lift the box. That's pretty cool, right? That's ...read more

    based on 21 ratings
     | 4,623 views

    Flesh, Law, or Holy Spirit... Choose your weapon against sin. God’s amazing provision for all who are in Christ is Holy Spirit power over sin.

    Flesh, Law, or Spirit: Chose your weapon against sin. What does man burdened by sin gain from the law? More burden! The Law shows man just how serious his problem really is! But man can do nothing to change who he is. And the Law doesn’t help him. Oh, we can alter a few of our behaviors, but ...read more

    The Sinking Soul

    God gives us moments where we must choose to follow Him. Let’s compare them to the moment our hearts sink, & the answer is demanded, fight or flight.

    Sermon - The Sinking Soul - I sat back & reflected on what generally happens before a great revival takes place. - Usually tragedy, or an unforeseen event takes place first. Then people recognize God, & return. - It very much mirrors the feeling you get, right before the ...read more

    Daniel and his three Hebrew friends were thrust into the pagan environment of Babylon. How they served God in this pagan land is an example of how we can serve God in our secular culture.

     | 3,876 views

    It’s in our human nature to fight, we just need to be more choosy with our limited ability and choose to only fight for the battle of faith and what God has promised!

    Wow...Faith Did That? Psalms 68:1-3 NKJ Let God arise, Let His enemies be scattered; Let those also who hate Him flee before Him. 2 As smoke is driven away, So drive them away; As wax melts before the fire, So let the wicked perish at the presence of God. 3 But let the righteous be glad; Let them ...read more

    The garden of Eden was a place of security, comfort, abundance and the awesome presence of God. Sadly, outside is sorrow, suffering and regrets. Just like Adam and Eve, we have the power to choose today.

    LIFE ON THE EAST-SIDE OF EDEN "23 therefore the Lord God sent him out of the garden of Eden to till the ground from which he was taken. 24 So He drove out the man; and He placed cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the ...read more

    Loving others means giving of ourselves for the benefit of another. What we choose to give is a reflection of how much we really love them, & ultimately reflects how much we love God.

    This is the last sermon in our series, “Loving others…and letting them know it.” Throughout this series, we have seen the importance of unconditional love, and we have learned practical yet meaningful ways of expressing this love – from a handshake, to a kind word, to time spent together in ...read more

    Many do not believe in the devil any more. Many choose not to believe. What does the Bible have to say about him and the destruction he wishes to bring to each of our souls?

    This week a friend of mine posted a video on facebook that showed the results of four teens texting while driving. Three of them died and the last one will never be the same again; mentally or physically. Did they know of the dangers of texting while driving? Did they just ignore the danger ...read more
