    His Pains, My Gains (The Power Of The Cross)

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Apr 16, 2025
     | 555 views

    The cross of Jesus Christ remains the most powerful symbol of love, sacrifice, and redemption. It was on that rugged cross that heaven’s mercy met humanity’s misery.

    HIS PAINS, MY GAINS (THE POWER OF THE CROSS) By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Isaiah 53:3–6 (KJV) “But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.” Supporting Texts: John 19:1–30, ...read more

    The Power And Wisdom Of The Cross - 1 Corinthians 1:18 Series

     | 2,062 views

    The cross is central to the Christian faith. Yet, for many, it seems absurd, irrelevant, or offensive. Paul’s declaration in 1 Corinthians 1:18 divides humanity into two groups: those who see the cross as foolishness and those who recognise it as the power of God.

    The Power and Wisdom of the Cross - 1 Corinthians 1:18 Key Verse: “The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God.” (1 Corinthians 1:18, NLT) Introduction: Transformed by Truth The cross is central to the ...read more

    A reflection on the criminal's faith in Luke 23:40-43

    A condemned criminal hangs on a cross next to Jesus. He, like all who are crucified, has been brutalized. He’s been stripped of his clothes and deprived of dignity.

    We Share In Christ's Pain On The Cross

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 28, 2025
     | 135 views

    when someone is murdered, it catches all of us up short, and when the violence is carried out on children, especially as they are praying on the second day of school, no words can ever suffice to bring us back to anything like normalcy.

    Twenty-second Sunday in Course 2025 Humility, yes. I suspect that many preachers in this country have been humbled by the recent events at a Catholic church and school in Minneapolis last week. Typically we work hard on a homily for some days and often feel proud of our work when we come to the ...read more

    Crossing The 'red Sea Moments' For Deliverance

    Contributed by Antonio Manaytay on Oct 25, 2025
     | 268 views

    The crossing of the Red Sea was not just an escape from Egypt — it was the crossing of deliverance. It was the line between bondage and freedom, between slavery and salvation, between despair and destiny.

    When Moses and the Israelites stood before the Red Sea, they were trapped between two impossibilities — an angry army behind them and a vast sea before them. Yet in that moment of desperation, God made a way where there was no way. The crossing of the Red Sea was not just an escape from Egypt — ...read more

    A sermon that contrasts human concerns with the concerns of God.

    “Whoever Wants to Be My Disciple…” Mark 8:31-38 If we are honest haven’t we all at, some point, have disagreed with Jesus, asking Him why He doesn’t do what we want? Why He won’t He see the world our way? I mean think about it. I’d imagine we can all come up with scenarios without me ...read more

    Love is a powerful force and motivator in our lives. Love compels us to act, affecting our lives and our behavior toward others. Love motivated Christ to bear our sin on the cross. Genuine love has the power to transform lives.
