    The Beatitudes inaugurate the Kingdom of God. Jesus teaches about an upside down and backwards kingdom where the greatest are servants and those with the greatest impact are small

    Small At the Beginning of the Kingdom of Israel we have a story about how the first king, Saul, got started: 1 Samuel 15 Samuel: “Let me tell you what the Lord said to me last night.” Saul: “Tell me” -So far, this sounds like to Indian gentlemen having a conversation. 17 Samuel said, “Although you ...read more

    He Is Risen!

    Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 30, 2021
    based on 5 ratings
     | 15,112 views

    The resurrection of Jesus is much more than a resuscitation, it's the new creation beginning! Easter isn't just an event, it's a revelation: we need intimacy with Jesus to heal our emptiness. It will conquer our fears, remove our doubts, & forgive our failures.

    HE IS RISEN! Lk. 24: 1-6; 36-39 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A Romanian woman fainted when she opened her front door and found her husband standing there. The Romanian weekly, Tinerama, says it all started when a man named Neagu choked on a fishbone, stopped breathing, and collapsed. 2. The ...read more

    Genesis Chapter 4: The First Family And The Birth Of Violence By Pst. Joseph Ondu Series

    Contributed by Joseph Ondu on Nov 16, 2025
     | 150 views

    The story of Genesis 4 calls us to check our hearts, to deal with anger and jealousy, and to worship God sincerely. It also assures us that no matter how dark sin becomes, God’s mercy shines brighter. He still speaks, still warns, still forgives, and still calls us to return to Him.

    Genesis Chapter 4: The First Family and the Birth of Violence Introduction Genesis chapter 4 continues the story of humanity after the fall. It introduces the first family born outside the Garden of Eden—Adam, Eve, and their two sons, Cain and Abel. This chapter reveals how quickly sin spread ...read more

    If someone was willing to give you a second chance wouldn’t you want to know about it? If someone was willing to forgive you wouldn’t you want to hear about it? If somebody loved you so much that they were willing to die for you, wouldn’t you....

    Grace..."God's Second Chance" Oops... Illus. From sermon central staff Bill, Jim and Scott were at a convention together and were sharing a large suite on the top of a 75-story skyscraper.

    An idea is being floated in our nation that citizens must pay for the sins of the past in something called "reparations." This message asks if this concept is biblical. Praise be to God that He does not require reparations from us!

    I want to begin our message this morning by bringing an awareness of a modern-day proposal that is being floated in our local, state, and federal governments, and then tie that in to what Ezekiel has to say in our passage. Across our nation, people are talking about something called “reparations.” ...read more

    When Jesus cursed the fig tree, this served as an object lesson to teach us about the dangers of unbelief and the blessings of trust in the Lord.

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Mar 21, 2025
     | 744 views

    Joseph’s life is a testimony of how God turns adversity into advancement. From rejection to rulership, his story proves that divine purpose cannot be stopped by man’s plans.

    CHARACTER STUDY OF JOSEPH – SOLD INTO SLAVERY, BECAME RULER IN EGYPT By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Genesis 37:5-7 – “And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.

    Jesus Christ has come to bring us back to God, to clear the way for us to enter once again into his presence. Christ has died to forgive our sins. Christ has risen to bring us new life. Empowered by God’s Holy Spirit we’re called to go out, to spread the

    It’s amazing what a brief description we’re given of such a world changing event, isn’t it? Here’s Jesus Christ, the Son of God, coming back to life after being crucified by the Jewish and Roman authorities and all we get are three verses of terse almost bare boned narrative. There was an ...read more

     | 4,560 views

    When we disobey God by sinning, let’s not shift the blame or justify our actions with the faulty “the devil made me do it” theology. Instead, let’s take full responsibility for our actions, confess our sins to a gracious and forgiving Father, and pursue r

    Opening illustration: In March 2009, a 62-year old woman was charged with stealing more than $73,000 from her church in the state of Washington.

     | 11,564 views

    Getting back your cutting edge some times involves God taking you back to a place where you lost it, and doing a work of deep sorrow in our hearts. Just because you asked God forgive you doesn't mean you have properly dealt with your sin. Contrition.

    That Story Is Hard To Swallow!

     | 5,785 views

    Maybe one of the reasons we don’t pray for our enemies or witness to them (The ones who have hurt us, talked about us, lied about us, been mean to us) is, because deep down inside, we are afraid that they will repent and God will forgive them instead of punish them!!

    Jonah 4:1-11-But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he became angry. So he prayed to the Lord, and said, “Ah, Lord, was not this what I said when I was still in my country? Therefore I fled previously to Tarshish; for I know that You are a gracious and merciful God, slow to anger and ...read more

    Cain And Abel Series

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Mar 7, 2024
     | 1,825 views

    Even though Abel’s life was short, his faith still speaks. Abel’s blood calls out for justice from God. Our own sin demands justice from God, and it was our sin that put Jesus on the cross. Yet the blood of Jesus speaks a better message. A message of mercy, forgiveness, reconciliation and salvation.

    As we continue in our Dust to Life series, we will be looking at Genesis chapter 4 today, the account of the first two brothers in human history: Cain and Abel. Genesis 4:1-16 1 Now the man had relations with his wife Eve, and she conceived and gave birth to Cain, and she said, “I have obtained a ...read more

    After explaining in general terms why he had delayed his trip to Corinth (see 1:12-2:2), Paul addressed the specific confrontation that most likely had led to his decision to cancel his visit.
