    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jun 1, 2025

    The God we serve specialises in doing much with little. Whether it's a little strength, little resource, or little faith—when surrendered to Him, it produces great results.

    Divine Helpers In Unlikely Places Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Mar 11, 2025
     | 336 views

    God often provides help from unexpected sources and through people we least expect. Divine helpers do not always come as wealthy benefactors or influential figures. Sometimes, they are found in unlikely places—individuals whom society has overlooked, rejected, or considered insignificant.

    DIVINE HELPERS IN UNLIKELY PLACES By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 1 Samuel 22:1-2 "David therefore departed thence, and escaped to the cave Adullam: and when his brethren and all his father's house heard it, they went down thither to him.

     | 5,945 views

    Forbearance is that character of God which causes Him to withhold punishment when it is justly due; to restrain His wrath, when it can be righteously poured on His enemies. Forbearance is the consequence of God’s abundant goodness. Longsuffering is forbea

    So, You Think You're Not A Pharisee?

    Contributed by Dan Funk on Aug 28, 2014
     | 4,940 views

    Christ directed the Parable of the Pharisee and the Publican Praying in the Temple to those who trusted in their own righteousness. We are more prone to trust in our own righteousness than we might think. This self-trust can keep us from being merciful.

    Over the years, we have all heard preachers address the parable of the Pharisee and the Publican praying in the Temple. “The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. I fast ...read more

    Friend, there’s more than one kind of profanity. Not all profanity takes place at the construction site or a bar. A lot of profanity takes place inside the church house. I want to tell you what kind of profanity it is.

    Happy Father’s Day to you all. You have to have some “dad jokes on Father's Day,” right? When does a joke become a “dad joke”? When it becomes apparent. What do you call a thousand rabbits walking backward? A receding hairline. My friend was showing me his tool shed and pointed to a ladder. ...read more
