     | 1,828 views

    It all goes back to the heart. Guard your heart. Keep your heart encouraged. And in prayer, always believe in your heart that God is there and will answer.

    There have been a few times in my life when I felt God’s presence depart from me. And it was for the purpose of testing me, to see what decision I’ll make without his presence strong upon me. Don’t get me wrong, God was still with me in those times. He hadn’t left me or forsaken me. But, his ...read more

    On this road and journey, we’ll look at three secrets we’re all carrying. We see these secrets in two of Jesus disciples that took this road following His death. It’s the road to Emmaus, and it’s a journey we take towards renewing a hope within us that erases exhaustion, emptiness, and enslavement.

    Life is like stumbling around in the darkness when we get up in the middle of the night for a drink of water. We’re too proud to reach over and turn on the light, because we think we know all that we need to know. And, even though we stumble one time, the

    Topsy-Turvy

    Contributed by Michael Bates on Jan 21, 2024
     | 1,344 views

    Our society has become very perverse and our moral values are upside down (topsy-turvy). As Christians, we are in the middle of a spiritual war zone fighting daily against evil, sin and perversion. But with God on our side we can win the war and be declared victorious over the forces of darkness.

    Our focal verse for this short sermon comes from Isaiah 5:20 CSB It says, 'woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness, who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.' During the time when this Bible verse was written, the ...read more

    Power Over Serpents And Scorpions

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on May 4, 2025
     | 607 views

    We are not helpless or defenceless. As believers, we have authority over every form of darkness. Serpents and scorpions cannot dominate us because Jesus has placed us far above them. It’s time to rise in boldness, rebuke the enemy, and enforce the dominion we’ve been given.

    POWER OVER SERPENTS AND SCORPIONS By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Luke 10:19 "Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you."
