    Hoarders

    Contributed by Kelly Benton on Feb 22, 2011
    based on 44 ratings
     | 19,306 views

    Hoarders are people that are in a constant battle by an obsessive need to acquire (and failure to use or discard) a significant amount of possessions, even if the items are worthless, hazardous, or unsanitary. This is much like when people come to Jesus.

    Who has seen the A& E series, “Hoarders”? I love the show! Hoarders is a fascinating look inside the lives of different people whose inability to part with their belongings is so out of control that they are on the verge of a personal crisis.

     | 521 views

    Joseph came from a long line of spectacular failures. Lies. Deceit. Theft. Favoritism. Greed. Lust. Murder. You name the sin and we will probably find it somewhere in Joseph’s Family Tree.

    January 11, 2025 As we approach the end of Genesis, there is one conclusion we can come to – People struggle. More often than not, when faced with a moral or ethical choice our list of characters failed. And they did so in spectacular fashion. Joseph came from a long line of spectacular ...read more

     | 767 views

    Eli was a man who started well but ended poorly due to his failure to discipline his children and uphold God’s holiness. His story is a warning to leaders and parents to take their responsibilities seriously.

Samuel Arimoro Main Text:. 1 Samuel 3:2-3 "And it came to pass at that time, when Eli was laid down in his place, and his eyes began to wax dim, that he could not see; and ere the lamp of God went out in the temple of the Lord, where the ...read more

    Your Past Is A Reference, Not A Residence

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Aug 14, 2025
     | 427 views

    Many people allow past mistakes, failures, or even successes to define their identity and limit their potential. Living in the past robs us of present opportunities and blinds us to the new things God wants to do.

    YOUR PAST IS A REFERENCE, NOT A RESIDENCE By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Philippians 3:13-14 Key Verse: “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward ...read more

     | 3,209 views

    God even sends Jesus-Christ to us him not a hundred angels... not the best of the pastors, but Jesus himself! An eternal consolation - not for a moment or a moment as a consolation which would come from the "world" in the tests.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,349 views

    Clothing is really an optional concern. It isn’t important. In what do we place our faith? How much faith do we really have? What tests our faith?

    Last week we look at the birds of the air passage and saw how God takes care of us especially. God simply asks us to trust Him. Grow in our trust of Him. The Lord Will Provide. Of course this continues the theme of being generous with the blessings that God has given us. God has called His people ...read more
