    Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Mar 25, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 13,237 views

    God is ready to help you write the next chapter in your life, “Look what the Lord has Done” I encourage you to seize the moment and grab hold of the opportunity that awaits you! Will you?

    Opportunity is knocking! Illus. By Russell Brownworth Selfishness is a personal thing. This is the self-contained life lived without Christ. That’s the attitude that hears a sermon and thinks, Wow, the preacher really told ‘em that time. A preacher once had a member who was like ...read more

    2015: Year Of Renewal

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Dec 29, 2014
    based on 4 ratings
     | 14,852 views

    Our nation is walking the same road that Israel took centuries ago and lost all their blessings. Therefore it is imperative that the church rises up and takes hold of their responsibility to lead the people in a godly way so that we are renewed.

    Opening illustration: A British newspaper reported that a woman had hidden $20,000 worth of jewelry in a plastic bag, hoping to prevent burglars from finding it. Later, having forgotten about it, she accidentally threw the bag out with her garbage. Several workmen searched for 9 hours in a landfill ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,991 views

    You might have something in your hand which is insignificant to the world. Do you still want to hold on to it or let it become a blessing for others? How can you really impact with what is placed in your hand?

    Opening illustration: In the Wizard of Oz … as the narrative winds down, every step of the way down the yellow brick road, Dorothy grows larger and larger, while the seemingly powerful adults around her grow smaller and smaller. Finally, the curtain falls away and she learns what all children ...read more

    Find Your Strength

    based on 7 ratings
     | 17,137 views

    There are times in our lives that are difficult to handle and process through and we need strength! We need strength to endure, strength to press forward, strength to hold on, and sometimes even strength to keep moving in the name of the Lord.

    “David was now in serious trouble because his men were very bitter about losing their wives and children, and they began to talk of stoning him. But David found strength in the LORD his God.” (1 Samuel 30:6 NLT) The recorded word of 1 Samuel 30 reveals David in a difficult position of ...read more

    Matthew 13:36-43 - Hell, God’s Waste Management Centre - Part 11 Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Mar 1, 2011
    based on 54 ratings
     | 8,595 views

    It is a sickly, acrid, repulsive stench that makes you curl your face into an involuntary grimace and hold your nose. In the Valley of Hinnom, outside Jerusalem, refuse is burned continually day and night. Jesus uses it as a picture of Hell.

    Matthew 13:36-43 - HELL, GOD’S WASTE MANAGEMENT CENTRE - Part 11 I watch as hell is washed inland with the momentum of an earthquake behind it, a wave of burning cars, buildings and debri. And in its wake the devastation of thousands lost. Earthquake, tsunami, nuclear explosion. In the Valley of ...read more

    Mystery Babylon, In Papal Rome: From Its Height To Its Present Low... Series

    Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Jul 14, 2015
     | 3,385 views

    Rome-Babylon has been with us for many centuries now. From giddy power over empires to its present place of "holding on", Babylon promises to be with us until her program is fulfilled (Revelation 18).

    The "Golden Age" of the Papacy. c. 1000 A.D. As the new millennium dawns over Europe and the world, Rome tightens its grip. It seems every Pope is trying to outdo the last in wickedness and power plays. Benedict VIII buys the office of Pope in 1012, as does his successor in 1024. The latter Pope ...read more

    Longing For The Food In Egypt

    When things get rough and disorienting, the predictability of the past starts looking pretty good. The story of the Exodus, with its powerful imagery of liberation from Egyptian slavery, holds a significant place in African American culture and history.

    The Spirituality Trap

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Feb 24, 2023
     | 1,287 views

    We have a tendency to see the shining mountaintop moments or the depths of despair as being the most spiritually significant. But genuine spirituality surfaces - and matures - in the daily decision to forgive, to tell the truth, to resist a temptation or to hold our tongues.

    My mom tells me that when we were little she could dress my sister and me up for church in starched white petticoats and send us out to play in the yard until time to leave for church and be absolutely certain that we wouldn’t have a spot on us. We LOVED to dress up. There was no way we were going ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,992 views

    In Joshua 7:10, we find a powerful message from the Lord to Joshua after the defeat of the Israelites at Ai. This verse holds valuable lessons for us today, reminding us of the importance of faith, obedience, and the consequences of sin.

    I. Understanding the context (Joshua 7:1-9): To fully grasp the Lord's question to Joshua, we must first understand the context. In this passage, we learn about Achan's disobedience by taking items devoted for destruction from Jericho. This act led to Israel's defeat in the battle of ...read more

    Appearance Of The Lamb Of God

    Contributed by Olusegun Ayobami Sanni on Jan 29, 2020
     | 2,200 views

    It is clear to us all that John the Baptist came ahead of Jesus Christ to prepare the way and to make things right. Whatever position you hold in the Church, don’t be too shy, don’t be a rebellious type

    Aim: Jesus has been around for almost thirty years but nobody really heard about him except when he was twelve years old when he was seen in the temple and nothing was heard about him until this time he appeared at the river where John was baptizing. People are in a hurry to appear so soon today, ...read more

    Sermon – Experiencing Freedom From Darkness

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Nov 10, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 381 views

    Satan’s power only lies in darkness, smoke and mirrors. Though the darkness may seem deep, engulfing, and suffocating, it has no real hold on the believer. The believer has been called out of darkness into the marvelous light.

    Sermon – Experiencing Freedom From Darkness Scripture -1Peter 2:6-9 “As the Scriptures say, “I am placing a cornerstone in Jerusalem, chosen for great honor, and anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced.” Yes, you who trust him recognize the honor God has given him.

    Praying For Those In Authority Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Feb 19, 2025
     | 750 views

    As believers, we are instructed by Scripture to pray for those in authority. This includes government leaders, rulers, and anyone who holds a position of influence. Our prayers are not only for their guidance and well-being but also for the peace, stability, and righteousness of the nation.

    PRAYING FOR THOSE IN AUTHORITY By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 1 Timothy 2:1-2 "I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession, and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and ...read more

    Spirit Filled Freedom

    Contributed by Lewis Martin on Jun 7, 2025
     | 383 views

    Sometimes the things that have a hold on us aren’t so harmless. Sometimes we’re carrying things—wounds, habits, lies—that quietly shape our lives without us even realizing it.

    Sermon Title: “Spirit-Filled Freedom” Texts: Acts 2:1–4; Galatians 4:1–7 [5:16–26] INTRODUCTION: “What’s Got a Hold on You?” Let me ask you something this morning: What’s got a hold on you?

     | 2,073 views

    Some hold the belief of being wealthy or rich as what we obtain from God's blessing through wisdom, responsibility, discipline, hard work, saving, investing, and seeking God's will.
