    Peter and John returned to their homes after seeing the empty tomb. Mary Magadalene, on the other hand, tarried at the tomb longing to see Jesus. As a result she could proclaim to the disciples, "I have seen the Lord."

    I Have Seen the Lord Introduction Good to be back from vacation- and yes, contrary to last weeks speaker, I did take a vacation. I do understand where Pastor Jay is coming from- many Christians do not have a sense of laboring in the fields or building God’s Kingdom. I do believe it is good to ...read more

    NEARLY EVERYONE TODAY PROFESSES TO BE A CHRIST-IAN. WHY THEN ARE OUR CHURCHES EMPTY AND OUR PEOPLE ARE LIVING IN SIN? THE REASON IS BECAUSE THEY ARE MERE PROFESSOR’S AND NOT POSSESSOR’S!

    PROFESSION WITHOUT POSSESSION TEXT: TITUS 1:16 INTRO: NOW AS WE GET INTO THE MESSAGE THIS MORNING, I JUST WANT TO READ ONE SIMPLE PASSAGE OF SCRIPTURE HERE IN THE BOOK OF TITUS AND USE THAT FOR MY TEXT.

    Introduction: The theme for today’s sermon is “sent to preach the good news”. The good news is about the grace of God, God’s undeserved favour, as a result of the death of Christ on the cross, His burial and His resurrection.

    Imagine one being divine for a couple of weeks. Not like Jesus Christ, who as Second Person of the Trinity emptied Himself of everything to become man, all the way to a cross.

    Twenty-Fourth Sunday in Course 2022 One of the critical prophetic statements in the OT is in the book of Hosea (11:9). Hosea hears God tell him about the divine intention toward the kingdom of Israel: “I will not. . .destroy Ephraim. For I am God and not man–the Holy One among you–and I will not ...read more

     | 513 views

    Spiritual dryness is a state where a believer feels distant from God, experiences a lack of passion for prayer, worship, and Bible study, and struggles with a sense of emptiness in their faith journey.

    OVERCOMING SPIRITUAL DRYNESS. (PART 1) By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Psalm 63:1 "O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; My flesh longs for You in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water." Supporting Texts: Isaiah 44:3 John 7:37-39 Ezekiel ...read more

    The Re-Creation Story Premium Sermon

     | 622 views

    The sermon explores the concept of re-creation through the story of the empty tomb in John's gospel, emphasizing how the Risen Christ's love for us offers a chance for resurrection and transformation.

    The story of the empty tomb in John’s gospel is one of re-creation with hints back to Genesis and John 1. The Risen Christ sees Mary just as she is and loves her. The Risen Jesus sees all of us, too, just as we are and offers to re-create us with resurrection life. This is the fulfillment of God ...read more

     | 27,229 views

    Jesus involved the people in the miracle of raising Lazarus from the dead by asking them to do 2 things: "remove the grave clothes" and "loose him and let him go". These words have practical application for us today.

    Removing Stones Instead of Casting Stones John 11:38-48 38Jesus, once more deeply moved, came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance. 39“Take away the stone,” he said. “But, Lord,” said Martha, the sister of the dead man, “by this time there is a bad odor, for he has been ...read more

    Jesus only raised 3 people (that I know of) from the dead. Why didn’t He raise everybody out of the grave? Why just people like this only son of the widow of Nain?

    Did Jesus Really Die And Rise Again?

     | 4,591 views

    The empty cross and risen Lord is the paramount doctrine upon which the believer rests his or her eternal destiny. I Corinthians 15:14 states that if Christ did not die and rise, then our preaching and faith is completely worthless.

    DID JESUS REALLY DIE AND RISE AGAIN? I CORINTHIANS 15:1-9 Key Verses: 3-4 “For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the ...read more

    When Jesus comes, all over the earth, graves of the righteous will explode, as the righteous rise to meet the Lord. The question is, if you don't believe in the rapture described in the Bible, how will you know when the real Jesus gets here?

    Joseph made this confession to his family: "I am dying". I am dying. The fact is every person in this room listening to this telecast is racing toward a rendezvous with death one day at a time. The Bible says there's an appointment that all of us have. "It is appointed unto men ...read more
