As In The Days Of Noah

Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Feb 21, 2025

The days of Noah serve as a prophetic warning for our time. The moral decay, spiritual complacency, and rejection of God’s truth seen in Noah’s generation are evident today. Jesus said that just as the flood came suddenly, so will His return be.

AS IN THE DAYS OF NOAH By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Matthew 24:37-39 "But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, ...read more

Christmas - Part 2

Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Oct 9, 2020

We have learned that Paul is showing through the practice of his day regarding a child who is heir to the family’s fortune that Jews and Gentiles were in their “spiritual childhood” before Christ...

(Gal 4:1 NKJV) Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, does not differ at all from a slave, though he is master of all, (Gal 4:2 NKJV) but is under guardians and stewards until the time appointed by the father. (Gal 4:3 NKJV) Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under ...read more

Redemption And Salvation In The Book Of Tobit

Contributed by John A. Peck on Nov 3, 2009

A short sermon on how the Septuagint Old Testament book of Tobit tells of the Incarnation of Jesus Christ.
