     | 1,848 views

    God sends his Servant, and what does He do? In short, Christ rebuilds the covenant. He reconciles enemies. He restores the earth. He sets the prisoners free. He shepherds his flock in peace and goodness. And He does one more thing: He builds roads!

    Time and again Isaiah brings Genesis to our minds—Genesis, that amazing book of beginnings.

     | 675 views

    Have you ever noticed how often life takes a turn you didn’t see coming? You had a plan—a direction—and suddenly you found yourself on a different road, in a different place, with a different set of questions than you ever expected to ask.

    Faith That Trusts God For A Way Out Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on May 30, 2025
     | 562 views

    Faith that trusts God for a way out does not rely on what is visible or logical. It clings to God’s promises, obeys His instructions, and stands firm even when all odds are against you. Such faith believes that with God, there is always a way—even when the road is blocked and the options are gone.

    FAITH THAT TRUSTS GOD FOR A WAY OUT By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Exodus 14:10-31 Supporting Texts: Hebrews 11:29, Isaiah 43:2, Psalm 46:1, 2 Corinthians 1:9-10, Proverbs 3:5-6 INTRODUCTION: Faith is not truly tested until one finds themselves in a situation with no visible escape route. ...read more

    When you see Nicodemus before you, it is difficult to imagine a person more qualified to be a good human being. Yet, he was a moral and spiritual failure. The Bible wants you to be asking yourself this question, “If Nicodemus’ faith enough?” If I have the faith of Nicodemus, is that enough?

    Find John 3, and thank you for joining us in a series entitled “Let’s Get Real: Answers to Life’s Biggest Questions.” I read about a young man in 6th grade who was so good at his particular sport that former professionals came to his games.

    We may share in his creative work through faith, or we may forget the power of his shaping hands and look to our own ingenuity, our own capacity to market and manage our Christian fellowship. The security of God's people lies only in the Potter's Hand.

    On the day after Christmas, on St. Stephen’s Day, we learn that though getting to heaven is easy through Jesus, carrying his cross on earth often times isn’t. But if being a Christian is difficult, it is even more so for the unbeliever.
