    based on 3 ratings
     | 7,022 views

    Past mistakes, failures and heartaches can be debilitating. We tend to either deny our past or try to compensate for our past. But neither resolve the damaging effects of our past. We need to move on. But how?

    “Remember not the former things, neither consider the things of old.” Isaiah 43:18 LEAVE THE PAST BEHIND - If you hope to make progress in this new year, then you must leave last year behind. The past is over and done with. Don’t dwell on what could have been or should have been. It is what ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,984 views

    Many Christians don’t think it matters much if they allow a few sinful activities in their lives. The truth is, the failure to surrender ALL changes the entire fabric of what your life looks like in the spiritual realm.

    CONSTRUCTION ZONE OR WAR ZONE? Lk. 14:33 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR You need 3 things to succeed in life: a wishbone, a backbone and a funny bone. Tonight we’re going to be talking about having a backbone! B. TEXT “So then, any of you who does not forsake (renounce, surrender claim to, give up, say ...read more

    The Power Of Self-Control

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Feb 25, 2025
     | 704 views

    Self-control is a crucial virtue that every believer must cultivate. Without it, a person is vulnerable to sin, emotional outbursts, and spiritual failure. It is not merely about suppressing desires but about bringing them under the lordship of Christ.

    Time is one of the most valuable resources given to mankind. Every person, regardless of status, is given the same 24 hours in a day. The difference between success and failure, fulfilment and regret, is how we use our time.

    TIME By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Ecclesiastes 3:1 "To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven."

    Sunday Morning Church is only a pre-game warmup for "real worship". Find out what real worship is all about and why it’s important we not think about it the same way the world does.

    OPEN: A Sunday School teacher was teaching her children the benefits of unselfishness. She concluded by saying’ "The reason you are in this world, children, is to help others."

    Excuses are the nails used to build a house of failure. When are we going to admit that we are responsible for our sin actions rather than shift the blame as did the first couple of Genesis. Let’s examine the facts together!

    Introduction We’d all like to say, "It was their fault..." We’re always looking for someone else to blame. Blame shifting is what we do best. No one wants to accept responsibility for their own actions. It’s has always been, "Someone elses fault..." This isn’t something new either. It dates as ...read more

    In 1 Corinthians 5, Paul severely admonishes the church for it’s failure to discipline an erring brother. The lesson we need to take from the Corinthian problem is: Don’t Forsake Christ’s Plan of Discipline.

     | 19,074 views

    One of the biggest tragedies in the Christian home today is when the husband fails to demonstrate selfless love toward his wife. The failure often stems from a basic lack of trust, fear or ignorance to exercise faith in the Word of God.

    A Word To The Husbands A story is told of a tyrannical husband who demanded that his wife conform to rigid standards of his choosing. She was to do certain things for him as a wife, mother, and homemaker. In time, she came to hate her husband as much as she hated his list of rules and regulations. ...read more
