    Surviving The Wait

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jan 20, 2011
    based on 9 ratings
     | 12,586 views

    Waiting for God is not laziness. Waiting for God is not going to sleep. Waiting for God is not the abandonment of effort. Waiting for God means, first, activity under command; second, readiness for any new command that may come; third, the ability to do

    Opening illustration: A professor in a world-acclaimed medical school once posed this medical situation - and ethical problem - to his students: "Here’s the family history: The father has syphilis.

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Sep 19, 2008
    based on 6 ratings
     | 15,480 views

    The parable of the Vine and the branches gives us the assurance that however weak and frail we are, God the Trinity can and will produce beautiful fruit in our lives. It is not a question of will power or any kind of self effort. All that is needed is con

    Opening illustration: Suppose you walked into your kitchen one morning and found Jesus sitting at the table. What would you do? Would you say: "Jesus! I’m thrilled to see You! I just wish I had time to talk, but right now I’m running late for work. When I get home tonight, we’ll have a nice visit"? ...read more

    Good Morning Jesus! Series

    Contributed by Bala Samson on Jan 30, 2013
     | 9,532 views

    My coffee time with God in the morning turned me to a Preacher at work to begin with. What started as a small effort of greeting Jesus ‘Good morning and chat with Him,’ turned into a commitment for the rest of my life!

    Good morning Jesus! Job 19:25”For I know that my Redeemer lives!” While working for the Vice President of a multinational bank with jam-packed agenda in my life: as a wife, mother and the office work as well, that kept me on my toes the whole day and I had to don multiple hats ...read more

    Putting Our Love Into Action Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 23, 2016
     | 14,042 views

    Our efforts for the Lord will be futile without love. We know the Bible commands that we love one another, and yet we fail to fully heed the command. Our world needs to experience love in action, not just in word.

    Putting our Love into Action 1 John 3: 11-17 Our text this evening continues to deal with the great theme of love that John has already dealt with extensively. I suppose there is no wonder John felt so impressed to emphasize love among the believers. He was blessed to walk with the Lord, studying ...read more

    Just Want To Bless Somebody

    Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Aug 15, 2016
    based on 6 ratings
     | 36,117 views

    I think we often struggle today with service because we think it has to be some great act. If it’s not some great, newsworthy deed, we don’t think it is worth the effort.

    TITLE: JUST WANT TO BLESS SOMEBODY SCRIPTURE: II KINGS 4:8-17 I guess I have entered the stage in my life where I am beginning to focus more upon the mark I will leave on this world. I am beginning to focus upon “WILL ANYONE CARE OR REMEMBER” when it’s my time to leave this ...read more

    Sick? Only Jesus Heals, But With Your Cooperation!

    Contributed by Kelly Durant on Aug 27, 2016
     | 3,643 views

    God does not do it all,, the scripture shows had Jesus had others do their part. We must heal applying our effort as well, salvation as well must be maintained like a therapy for a broken ankle (soul).

    Sick? Only Jesus Heals, But With Your Cooperation! Capt. Kelly Durant Matthew 9:12 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. 2.

    None of the human efforts can gain peace. It is the Prince of Peace that gives the perfect peace. Surprisingly, the peace is for us. Prince of Peace can only give the Peace you need. Peace of Jesus is a balm for all your aches.

    1. INTRODUCTION: As Christmas is coming a sense of relief is being made in our hearts.

    The Peril Of False Prophets (Part 2)

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Apr 20, 2022
     | 1,764 views

    Satan seeks to do all he can to hinder and defeat the church. One of the tools he likes to use is deception. If he can distort the truth, causing people to believe a lie, then he has succeeded in his efforts.

    The Peril of False Prophets (Part 2) Matthew 7: 15-20 In our last study we began to consider Jesus’ teaching concerning false prophets, those who come in among the church in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. I remain convinced that this passage needs to be preached and ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,896 views

    This king's experience of evil coming in the face of determined good effort and obedience mirrors the experience of devout men and women of every age and teaches us to believe in the constant working of Divine Providence, even in difficult circumstances.

    2 CHRONICLES 32:1-8 ACTS OF FAITHFULNESS [Isaiah 37:10-20, 36-38; Ps. 46; 2 Kgs 18:13-19:37] King Hezekiah [reigned 726–697 BC] had been on fire for the Lord God.

    Last Minute Miracle Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jan 18, 2025
     | 974 views

    The last minute miracle is one of the most powerful displays of God’s glory. It is a moment when all human effort has been exhausted, and there seems to be no solution. It is at this point that God steps in to perform a miracle that is nothing short of extraordinary.

    Title: LAST MINUTE MIRACLE By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: John 2:1-11 Supporting Texts: Exodus 14:21-22, Matthew 20:1-16, Mark 5:35-42 INTRODUCTION: The last minute miracle is one of the most powerful displays of God’s glory.

     | 740 views

    The Holy Spirit is the chief strategist and power behind evangelism. Without Him, we can do nothing (John 15:5). He empowers, convicts, gives wisdom, confirms the Word with signs, and directs our evangelistic efforts.

     | 21,274 views

    This sermon gives a very earnest effort in showing that when GOD has anointed us for a particular tasks, no weapons, tricks, pitfalls, or anything can stop it from being accomplished as long as we keep our focus and trust in Him!!!
