    Shadow Puppets & The Puppet-Master

    Contributed by Samuel Fulkerson on Oct 17, 2013
     | 6,712 views

    Allow God to orchestrate the affairs of your life and be blessed. God is not a puppet-master in the sense that pulls all your strings 24/7/365; Rather think of it as Him being the master harpist.

    Quotes: "We shall steer safely through every storm, so long as our heart is right, our intention fervent, our courage steadfast, and our trust fixed on God." - St. Francis De Sales "Only God can fully satisfy the hungry heart of man." - Hugh Black “God doesn't owe us anything - yet in His ...read more

    World Changers

    A world changer is known not for what he gives up, but for what he takes up. Will you take up the challenge to be a world changer OR who just changes his clothes every day to look good?

    Opening illustration: John, do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water, or do you want a chance to change the world?” That was the challenge Steve Jobs issued in 1983 to John Sculley, then president of Pepsi-Cola. Mr. Jobs was the creative genius behind Apple Computer. ...read more

    A response is expected when Jesus is encountered.

    Power Encounters Mark 1:21-28 Rev. Brian Bill October 3-4, 2015 A recent article in the New York Times entitled, “Googling for God,” begins this way: “It has been a bad decade for God, at least so far.” Google searches for churches are down 15 percent over the last five ...read more

    Tim Keller recently tweeted that “Apathy is a bigger problem than atheism for Christianity.” This sermon challenges God's people to fulfill the Great Commission given by the Risen King, Jesus. I would be delighted if you could rate this sermon and give brief feedback.

    INTRODUCTION (SECURE ATTENTION) & BACKGROUND OF THE PASSAGE: PRAY before starting the sermon. ILLUSTRATION: {According to a study conducted by LifeWay Research, 85% of all believers in the age group, 18-29 agree that they have a responsibility to share the gospel with unbelievers, 69% of those ...read more

    The Prison Of God's Promotion

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Apr 25, 2020
     | 6,115 views

    Your restriction, though onerous, may be God's means of bringing glory to His Name through promoting you. This becomes obvious through a study of Joseph's trials and promotion as God worked in his life.

    “Joseph’s master took him and put him into the prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined, and he was there in prison. But the LORD was with Joseph and showed him steadfast love and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison. And the keeper of the prison put Joseph in ...read more

    Jesus Defends His Divinity

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 27, 2022
     | 1,626 views

    Shortly after Jesus healed the crippled man at the pool of Bethsaida (John 5:1-15), He was confronted by the religious officials who wanted Him dead for saying that God was His Father, making Himself equal withe God. Jesus responded with facts to back up His claim.

    If there was an apt description of the attitude of the Pharisees towards the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ (John 5:18), it is this, "There are none so blind as those who will not see". All throughout this account of the Lord's life and work and in the other Gospels as ...read more

    To Whom Shall We Go?

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Feb 9, 2022
     | 2,314 views

    When Jesus spoke about the Bread of Life, His analogies troubled a lot of His hearers who found His teaching hard to understand (John 6:51-65) and ended up walking away from Him. In asking the disciples if they wanted to go away, Peter's response was the model of faith and assurance (vv.67-69).

    Jesus' teachings either inspired or infuriated those who heard Him. They continue to have the same effect on anyone who read His words as recorded in the Scriptures today and decides whether to surrender their lives to Him or reject His mercy and reap the eternal consequences. When He taught ...read more

    Every believer has divine might within them, but it must be recognised, activated, and utilised. Like Gideon, we may feel unqualified, but God has already empowered us for victory.

    The Power Of The Mind

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jun 9, 2025
     | 841 views

    The Tower of Babel teaches us a critical lesson: The mind is powerful, and what we set it on determines the outcome of our lives. Though the people of Babel used their mental unity for rebellion, God still acknowledged the unstoppable power of their minds.

    THE POWER OF THE MIND By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Genesis 11:1-9 Supporting Texts: Proverbs 23:7, Romans 12:2, Philippians 4:8, 2 Corinthians 10:4-5, Ephesians 4:23 INTRODUCTION: The mind is the battlefield of destiny.

    I Met Him When I Had No Choice Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Mar 28, 2021
     | 3,451 views

    Jesus stands before Pilate. It seems that Jesus is being swept away by the events surrounding Him but the TRUTH is that Jesus is the only one in control. It is Pilate and the Jewish leaders who are being swept up in a battle that they cannot see or control.

    Governor Pilate stood on the balcony of the praetorium, his headquarters, and looked down at the mobs milling around in the streets below. “Ugh!” he thought. Jewish pilgrims, priests, vendors, thieves, rebels, beggars, prostitutes … rabble! … all crammed into Jerusalem’s narrow streets … and it ...read more
