    He Brought Me Out Of The Miry Clay

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jun 13, 2025
     | 881 views

    The “miry clay” represents situations that are sticky, messy, and hard to escape. It symbolises spiritual bondage, emotional turmoil, and moral failure. But God does not abandon His people in such states. He inclines His ear to us, hears our cry, and lifts us out with His mighty hand.

    HE BROUGHT ME OUT OF THE MIRY CLAY By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Psalm 40:1-3 Supporting Texts: Jeremiah 38:6-13, Psalm 18:16-19, Colossians 1:13, Isaiah 61:1-3, Luke 15:17-24 INTRODUCTION: There are moments in life when it feels like we are sinking—overwhelmed by sin, pain, confusion, or ...read more

    Helps close the distance between the Passover and Communion. Communion reminds us that God provided a new Exodus in Jesus - a way to get us out of Egypt and to get Egypt out of us!

    A New Way Matthew 26:26-28 26 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take and eat; this is my body." 27 Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you. 28 This is my blood of the ...read more

    A short talk given at an all-Saints' Memorial Day service, giving thanks to God for loved ones who have died. In short, God knows us, God stays close to us, and God made us.

    In 2008 I spent seven months in bed suffering from severe debilitating pain in my neck. My neck muscles were twisting my head in 3 directions. My right ear was almost resting on my shoulder. In many ways it was a horrible time. It tested my faith. The result was a deeper trust in the God who knows ...read more

    Certainly -- At A Distance

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 18, 2003

     | 4,966 views

    For Good Friday: sometimes we no longer see things because we are too close to them. The disciples saw the cross "at a distance", but the centurion saw it through his callousness, cynicism, and skepticism, and affirmed, "Certainly".

    Sometimes when you are too close to something you cannot see it. Or at least you cannot recognize what it is. You can be so close that you do not know what you are looking at. You need somebody else to give you a fresh perspective. My wife and I buy grocery items when they are on ...read more

    Almost Persuaded - that’s the terrible thought of so many people who come close to Heaven but lose out with God because of one eternal decision.

    When you help someone up a mountain, you’ll find yourself close to the summit too. This truth is seen in Jesus’ conversation & conversion with the woman at the well.

    Introduction If the truth was known, when we help another we’re really helping ourselves and we are no more like Christ than when we are extending a hand to someone else! It’s no secret, Jews and Samaritans were historic enemies, however, when we are willing to lay aside our differences and reach ...read more

    Funeral sermon for a man who lived an ordinary life, but came to Christ in his final illness. He had no family or close friends and the funeral was paid for by the council.

    In every generation of human history there have been a small number of people who achieved fame or greatness. People who were talked about by their contemporaries, who set the agenda and the spirit of the age. An even smaller number of people are remembered by future generations, whose names and ...read more

    They say as you go through life, it isn’t as important what you know as it is whom you know. Well, they’re close to being right...

    They say that as you go through life it isn’t as important what you know as whom you know. This morning, I want to suggest this is true, but I’ll go even one better. It’s not even so much who you know, but the one who knows you. Even in a competitive, knowledge-based industry like computers – ...read more

    Isaiah invites us to look back on a year of God’s grace drawing to a close and to look ahead to another year of God’s grace that is just beginning.

    In the ancient calendar used by the Romans, from which our calendar was created, the name of each month had a meaning. For example the month of February was so named because that was the time of the year for a feast called Februa. Some of the months were named for the false gods that the Romans ...read more

    Like Judas, let us forsake a casual relationship with Jesus and be more like Mary who developed a close, personal, and intimate relationship with Jesus Christ, the Savior.

    I ran across a book from 1904, entitled, “Maxwell’s Elementary grammar” that contained the following poem: "Oho!" said the pot to the kettle; "You are dirty and ugly and black! Sure no one would think you were metal, except when you're given a crack." "Not so! Not so!" kettle ...read more

    Jesus offers the absolute best gift we could imagine, the gift of Himself - up close, personal, and intimately connected to us in our joy and in our distress.

    Who here loves dogs? Some of us have a real love for animals. There can be a deep connection between a dog and his master, or a cat and his servant. Cats don’t have masters. They know they are the boss. Well, a while back a newspaper carried the story of Tattoo, the basset hound. Now a ...read more
