    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Aug 4, 2025
     | 417 views

    Honour is not something man can manufacture; it is a crown God places on those He approves. It is divine recognition that sets a person apart for elevation, influence, and distinction.

     | 6,655 views

    This is the sixth installment in a series I did on I Corinthians 13, and focuses on the fact that "love does not act unbecomingly."

    “Love’s Balance” I Corinthians 13:5 January 26, 2003 Love of Another Kind – I Corinthians 13 Given the frigid weather of this month, perhaps this poem is a fitting way to begin: Six humans trapped by happenstance in bleak and bitter cold, Each one possessed a stick of wood, or so the story ...read more

    Your Investment Portfolio

    Contributed by Tammy Garrison on Nov 3, 2001
    based on 27 ratings
     | 3,570 views

    This sermon looks at what our focus is when compiling our ’treasure’ - a heavenly investment, or a worldly investment.

    Our Bible lesson reminds me of a folk song we use to sing in Girl Scouts when I was a teenager. Maybe you’ve heard it before - I was always surprised to discover that a lot of the folk songs we sang were popular tunes from my parent’s days. This folk song was called “One Tin Soldier.” It talked ...read more

    Taken from Ephesians 1, this series delves into the riches that we know through our relationship with Christ.

    After 13 years, I feel it’s time to come clean, to be vulnerable, to share some deep secrets with this congregation. So here goes: • My first childhood crush was Agent 99. • The first time I was on a TV game show was when I was in 6th grade—but it wasn’t the last. • My nickname in high school was ...read more

    Another Ugly Good Friday

    Contributed by John Nadasi on Apr 20, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,464 views

    This is a response to the Virginia Tech murders. It examines our response as Christians and as responsible firearm owners. It also questions what we can do to be part of the solution. Although it is a manuscript, there is a lot to be ad-libbed in this.

    John 21:1-19 Paonia United Methodist Church April 22, 2007 Its been another one of those weeks for this country, hasn’t it? You would have to be a complete alien to have missed it.

    Ultimately we’re called to service because we’re seeking to follow the steps of our saviour Jesus Christ. Jesus came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many

    The Christian’s speech should be a reflection of the Holy Spirit’s working, bringing value to those around us.

    WORTHWHILE CONVERSATION When I was in my twenties, I couldn’t hold on to money. If I had a dollar, I’d spend it. If I saw something I wanted, I bought it without much consideration as to whether it was a good deal or not. I’m not totally sure whether it was a function of getting older or marrying ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,460 views

    Holiness is the gift of an identity, appearing to be too good to be true, but received by accepting forgiveness.

    Today’s message is framed by incidents provided by two church members. I will not be naming the players, but they have given me both the beginning and the ending of this message on holiness. The beginning: a few days ago one of you told me that you came to worship each Sunday so that you could ...read more
