    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Mar 26, 2025
     | 548 views

    John Mark's life is a powerful example of restoration, faithfulness, and the impact of second chances. Though he stumbled early in his ministry, he became a vital figure in the early church and the author of one of the four Gospels.

    CHARACTER STUDY OF MARK (JOHN MARK) – WRITER OF THE GOSPEL OF MARK By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Acts 12:12 "When this had dawned on him, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John, also called Mark, where many people had gathered and were praying." Supporting Texts: 2 ...read more

     | 452 views

    In the last days, the Bible warns about a powerful and deceptive figure known as the Antichrist, who will rise to power and lead many astray. One of the significant signs of his rule is the imposition of the Mark of the Beast, a mark that will be required for buying and selling.

    THE ANTICHRIST AND THE MARK OF THE BEAST By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Revelation 13:16-18 Supporting Texts: 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4, Daniel 7:25, Matthew 24:24, 1 John 2:18, Revelation 14:9-11 INTRODUCTION: In the last days, the Bible warns about a powerful and deceptive figure known as the ...read more

    Real Presence Of Christ Series

    based on 54 ratings
     | 8,445 views

    The power of the Lord’s Last Supper is lost on many of us because we fail to understand Jesus’ use of the word Cup; this sermon reveals how the Disciples understood Jesus saying "This is my body" and "Drink this to commemorate me."

    REAL PRESENCE OF JESUS CHRIST AT EUCHARIST UNDERSTOOD AS OATH, SACRAMENTUM. It is impossible in a short space to convey all that should be said on this subject. It would be easy, for me to be misunderstood, because I can only express part of my understanding of this subject in a short space. So ...read more

    The Greatest Words Jesus Ever Said

     | 1,968 views

    There have been figures throughout history who have had a way with words that have changed lives as well as the destinies of nations. However, the three words Jesus said from the cross - "It is Finished!" gave humanity freedom and forgiveness from sin forever.

    There have been people who throughout the progression of civilization have had a way with words and seem to possess a unique grasp of language. They have an eloquence of speech, saying things that are deeply profound. The Lord Jesus was just such a person. Throughout the years of His recorded ...read more

    based on 30 ratings
     | 6,295 views

    In the first 9 chapters of Proverbs, Foolishness and Widsom call out an invitation to a party. One invitation is to get drunk on the wickedness of this world, the other is an invitation to life... eternal life.

    “Lets Get Drunk!!” Text: Proverbs 9:1-6 8-31-03 Grace, Mercy and Peace be unto you from God our Father, and from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.

    This is the most dramatic testimony of Paul’s struggle with sin. I like this text because of the transparency. Paul identifies sin that is always lurking around trying to take a hold of every beleiver.

    TITLE: IT AIN’T ME SCRIPTURE: ROMANS 7:17 As much as I place focus and attention on proper English, I found it fitting this morning to stray somewhat. I could not find a better or stronger word to use than “AIN’T” to help support my thought as we labor in the Word for a ...read more

    Isaiah to Malachi saw Jesus as God. The prophets of Israel join the group of Jehovah's TRUE witnesses. Who are these folks today claiming to be witnesses of Jehovah, but denying his Deity?

    You know as well as I do that keeping a secret is a tremendous burden. But it can also be an advantage, especially if you can figure out how to let people know that you know a secret without telling them the secret. Right?
