    "I think it was partly that experience that prompted me to start praying for dead bodies to be raised back to life - just to be sure that it was really their time. Jesus gave His disciples authority to raise the dead."

    Part 10 - Matthew 10:8-10 - NOW THAT WOULD MAKE MY MOTHER'S DAY! I was working as a funeral assistant and it was the first time I had ever touched a dead body when it happened. We had been called to a house to transfer the body to the hospital or funeral home. "THE BODY" - that sounds so ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,041 views

    The Lord gives wisdom and he is the author of wisdom. Wisdom was with God even before creation of the world. Wisdom is not easy to find. It remains a divine mystery in spite of its presence in all parts of the universe.

    Wisdom from God Proverbs 2:6-15 An angel appears at a meeting of religious leaders and tells their leader that in return for his unselfish and excellent behavior, God will reward him with his choice of infinite wealth, wisdom, or beauty. Without hesitating, the leader selects infinite wisdom. ...read more

    Overcoming Spiritual Immaturity

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Feb 28, 2025
     | 830 views

    Spiritual maturity is not an option but a necessity for every believer who desires to fulfil God's purpose. Immaturity keeps believers weak and vulnerable, but growth brings strength, wisdom, and divine authority.

    OVERCOMING SPIRITUAL IMMATURITY By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Hebrews 5:12-14 "For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.

     | 1,402 views

    There are levels in the anointing, and each level brings a greater measure of God’s presence, power, and authority. Whether you are ankle-deep or swimming in the deep waters of the Holy Spirit, there is always more to experience.

    Title: LEVELS OF THE ANOINTING By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Ezekiel 47:1-5  Supporting Texts: Acts 10:38, Isaiah 61:1-3, 1 Samuel 16:13  INTRODUCTION In Ezekiel 47, the prophet describes a vision of a river flowing from the temple of God, gradually increasing in depth as it ...read more

    What Is Greatness?

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Oct 10, 2024
     | 747 views

    Jesus our God came to serve. And even to die, to give his life as a ransom for many! To die for us, to empty himself of divine power and authority and serve those in need. That is true greatness.

    I recall a meme I saw online, it had a picture of a janitorial supply cart and it said, "Called to ministry? This will be your first pulpit." Truer words were never spoken. My first five years in ministry I mopped a lot of floors, and believe me, I expect more floors in the future. ...read more

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on May 4, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,650 views

    Maintaining a mission-minded focus means resolving inner conflict quickly and openly by showing concern for all and valuing all, but also by delegating authority to others that leads to unity. A model for kingdom building!

    Sermon – Maintaining a Mission-Minded Focus Scripture Lesson: Acts 6:1-7 “But as the believers rapidly multiplied, there were rumblings of discontent. The Greek-speaking believers complained about the Hebrew-speaking believers, saying that their widows were being discriminated against in the daily ...read more

    Do Not Fear (Sermon 1) Series

    Contributed by Matthew Tarkington on May 11, 2022
     | 2,211 views

    "Do not fear" is one of the most common commands in the Bible. Why? Because it's the greatest tool of the enemy to steal you from your identity and your authority.

    I would like everyone to say this verse together... Rom 8:14 - "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God." S: I'M A CHILD OF GOD. /// S: I am spirit led GO TO 2 TIM 1 Vital confession for everyone during this time... SOME DIED EARLY... SOME LOST ...read more

    Address Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Mar 3, 2018
     | 4,595 views

    Paul's call to the office of an Apostle had nothing to do with personal merit; he says instead that he is "an apostle by the will of God," and this is what constitutes the ground of the authority he claims in the Corinthian Church.

    Lesson 1.1: Address Scripture 1 Corinthians 1.1-1.3 1 Cor 1:1-3 (KJV) 1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother, 2 Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all ...read more

    Contributed by John Lowe on May 4, 2019
     | 5,181 views

    The Holy Spirit of God foresaw that this book would be questioned more than other books of Holy Scripture; therefore he confirms the divine authority of it by a holy angel, and the truth of all things in it.

    Witnessing To The Angels

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on May 24, 2025
     | 277 views

    Paul wrote in Ephesians 3:10, 'So that through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places.' What does this mean?!

    INTRODUCTION Today, we’re moving on to Ephesians 3. In my first talk, I showed you this picture. It’s produced by the BibleProject and it presents the structure of Ephesians. Ephesians 1 and 2 both get a lot of space. But look at Ephesians 3! It just gets a little corner! It seems that the ...read more
