    Opening Up The Ancient Gates

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Apr 15, 2025
     | 1,404 views

    Some spiritual gates and doors control access to destinies, blessings, and divine encounters. These gates can either open to allow divine intervention or remain shut, causing stagnation and delay.

    OPENING UP THE ANCIENT GATES By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Psalm 24:7–10 "Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O ...read more

    Faith That Refuses To Give Up

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on May 8, 2025
     | 863 views

    Faith is not just belief—it is a persistent, humble, bold, and expectant attitude that refuses to give up. The Canaanite woman’s story shows that even when you're not qualified, faith can qualify you.

    FAITH THAT REFUSES TO GIVE UP By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Matthew 15:21-28 Supporting Texts: Hebrews 11:6, Mark 11:24, Luke 18:1–8, James 1:6, Romans 4:20–21 INTRODUCTION: There are seasons in life when everything seems to be working against us. In those times, our faith is tested—not by ...read more

     | 543 views

    My brothers and my sisters, we are standing once again on the edge of Advent— • A season where heaven leans toward earth • where eternity breaks into time • and where God whispers again, “I STILL KEEP MY PROMISES.”

    WHEN HOPE SHOWS UP – ADVENT SERMON ISAIAH 9:2–7 My brothers and my sisters, we are standing once again on the edge of Advent— • A season where heaven leans toward earth • where eternity breaks into time • and where God whispers again, “I STILL KEEP MY PROMISES.” Advent is not Christmas itself, as ...read more

    God is the one that can lift a man from the ground level to greater heights in all areas of life.

    THE LIFTER UP OF MY HEAD Study Text: Psalm 3:1–3 Introduction: - To lift the head is to restore dignity, honour, confidence, visibility, and authority. - A bowed head speaks of shame, rejection, disgrace, limitation, and defeat. - David cried in Psalm 3:3: “But thou, O LORD, art a shield for ...read more

     | 92 views

    Often we find the storms and trials overwhelm us. Look at David's lesson at Ziglag. He encouraged himself.

    He Lifts Me Up

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 24, 2025
     | 150 views

    God’s mercy lifts us from resentment into freedom; forgiveness is not forgetting the wrong—it’s releasing it to the One who heals

    1 — The Wound That Wouldn’t Heal It’s me, O Lord, standing in the need of prayer. That’s how this message begins—not with triumph but with honesty. Because forgiveness never starts from strength; it starts from brokenness. Maybe you know that kind of breaking. Someone walked away, someone lied, ...read more

    Purpose, Please Stand Up

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 12, 2025
     | 99 views

    Purpose rises when God’s word defines us, God’s anointing empowers us, and we step into the valley knowing the battle belongs to the Lord.

    There are moments in Scripture when God doesn’t whisper purpose—He shakes it into the bones of His people. And one of those moments erupts in 1 Samuel 17 when a young shepherd boy, overlooked by his family and underestimated by everyone else, stands on a battlefield and shouts a question that ...read more

    Filling Up What Is Lacking Series

    Contributed by Senior Pastor Ndayiragije-Misigaro Joel on Jan 6, 2023
     | 1,744 views

    In the Christian life, and in the biblical narrative, we see God perfecting all in his work, “man shall not be alone” and even after creating the helper to Adam, in Adam and Eve fall, God still working to cover them for their own shame from leaves cover to animal skin cover.

    FILLING UP WHAT IS LACKING Written by Senior Pastor Ndayiragije-Misigaro Joel on January 6, 2023 “Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh, I am filling up what is lacking in Christ's afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church.” Colossians 1:24 (ESV) In ...read more

    What does it look like to deny ourselves, take up our cross and follow Jesus?

    [IMAGE] Philippine Passion Play - practice of literally crucifying people (voluntarily). The practice began in 1962 after a popular play about Jesus’ death. One man, Ruben Enaje, (as of 2019) had been hung on a cross 33 times. Many men and women have voluntarily submitted to temporary crucifixion ...read more

     | 3,418 views

    Somehow we have the mistaken idea that the Christian life is like a fairy tale.

    That is, you accept the Lord as your Savior, and then you can live happily ever after, and never have another crisis in your life! But there is no such life for any of us while we are here on earth. It does not matter: • If a person is rich or poor • What country a person lives in • What family a ...read more

    Going Up To The Real Temple

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 15, 2023
     | 662 views

    Lepers were outsiders. They were ostracized from society, and could not enter either Temple or synagogue.

    Wednesday of the 32nd week in Course 2023 Ten lepers came as near to Jesus as they dared. That would have been fifty to eighty meters. Their chronic skin condition, maybe Hansen’s disease as we see such infections these days, has ruined their social and religious lives. They were ostracized from ...read more

    All our actions should be regulated by the word of God.

    THE ARK BROUGHT UP TO JERUSALEM. 2 Samuel 6:1-5, 2 Samuel 6:12-19. No sooner had David been anointed king over all Israel, than the Philistines came up against him. David’s instinct back then was to ‘enquire of the LORD’ as to what he should do (cf. 2 Samuel 5:17-19). And David ‘did as the LORD ...read more

    Contributed by Youth Sermons on Sep 5, 2023
    based on 4 ratings
     | 1,809 views

    Jesus calls us to take up our cross, which means embracing the pain, loneliness, and partnership that comes with following Him. The journey may be difficult, but the reward is worth it.

    Today, we're gonna talk about something taking up our crosses, and I've got a cool object lesson to help us understand it better. But first, let's dive into the message. You know, life can be pretty hard sometimes, right? Jesus actually told us that we'd face some tough times. Check out what He ...read more
