    The Shema.

    The Shema is said twice a day by the Jews. It was important to Jesus because it covered all the 10 Commandment in an easy way to remember and apply them to our lives. They are easy to learn and God uses them to either accept our offerings and sacrifices or not. This isn't salvation.

    Sermon Title: The Shema. Scripture Text: Mark 12:28-34 Illustration: I was teaching the Senior Youth. I told them I could say the 10 commandment without saying them without memorization. Can you? In our text today, as usual, they were trying to trip Jesus up to entrap Him. Asking ...read more

    Power Over Serpents And Scorpions

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on May 4, 2025
     | 956 views

    We are not helpless or defenceless. As believers, we have authority over every form of darkness. Serpents and scorpions cannot dominate us because Jesus has placed us far above them. It’s time to rise in boldness, rebuke the enemy, and enforce the dominion we’ve been given.

    Contributed by Paul Dayao on Sep 27, 2025

    Using the analogy of a shipwreck, this sermon on Ephesians 2:1-3 explores Paul's stark description of our condition without Christ: spiritually dead, helplessly swept along by the currents of the world, the flesh, and the devil, and destined for God's just wrath.

    Introduction Imagine a person who has survived a terrible shipwreck. They are floating alone in the middle of a vast, dark ocean. Though they are breathing and their heart is beating, are they truly alive? They are cut off from land, from safety, from any source of help. They are completely at the ...read more
