     | 3,532 views

    When we treat each other like dirt we are denying that God has made them in his image. We are eliminating the spiritual element of their existence.

    When the world was six days old God decided that he was ready to pull out the big guns. He rolled up his sleeves and created humanity. He took some dust and breathed on it, and the bible tells us that the dust became man. He called the man of the ground Adam, which was a good name for him, but I ...read more

    None of us ever became Christians through our human effort. God reached down. Salvation comes by faith in Christ. Believe in Jesus Christ, He died on the cross for you.

    Dance with the one who brung ya. In a sense that was Paul’s message to the Galatians. You became a Christian by faith in Christ and experienced a new birth.

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Mar 20, 2025
     | 91 views

    Evangelism is not just a human effort; it is a divine assignment that requires divine empowerment. Jesus Himself, in Luke 4:18-19, declared that the Spirit of the Lord was upon Him to preach the Good News.

    based on 1 rating
     | 258 views

    A divine opening is a supernatural opportunity orchestrated by God to grant access, breakthrough, or fulfilment of His promises. It signifies a door opened by God's power that cannot be hindered or shut by human effort.

See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut.” Supporting Texts: Isaiah 22:22; 1 Corinthians 16:9; John 10:9; Acts 16:26; Psalm 24:7 INTRODUCTION: A divine opening is a supernatural ...read more

    It's Not What You Know

     | 4,523 views

    Religion has been described as following a set pattern of dos and don’ts, an outward expression with no inward authenticity, or the human effort to reach God. Religion knows about God without knowing Him.

    At about the end of May and the first part of June hundreds of thousands of students walk across stages and platforms to receive a diploma. This is something they have been working hard for.

     | 4,785 views

    The promised land is God’s gift to Israel, but this gift did not come without human efforts. The people needs to trust God and be obedient to His Law. This is the key to appropriating God’s promise in life.

    Moses has died. Joshua has taken on the task of leading Israel. - In this speech, God announces that Israel is going to finally take possession of the promised Land. - This was God’s promise to Abraham - remember in the Sunday School, we learnt of God’s promise of a land, a seed and the blessing, ...read more

    Christianity never becomes about human effort. We do not move on from grace – we move deeper and deeper into it. The gospel not only ignites us to faith, it fuels our entire journey.

    Dakota Community Church September 25, 2011 Grace Transforms 3 Ephesians 2:8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. 1.

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jan 21, 2025
     | 192 views

    Divine increase is the supernatural multiplication and growth that comes from God. It is not dependent on human effort but on the grace and favour of God. Grace is the enabler for divine increase, allowing us to accomplish what would otherwise be impossible.

Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 2 Corinthians 9:8 Supporting Texts: Genesis 26:12-14; Psalm 115:14-15; John 10:10; 1 Corinthians 3:6-7 INTRODUCTION: Divine increase is the supernatural multiplication and growth that comes from God.

     | 118 views

    Favour is a supernatural advantage that causes a person to experience blessings beyond human effort. Solomon experienced God’s favour because he sought wisdom instead of riches, and God gave him both.

    Spiritual growth is intentional, not automatic. When we add to our faith we will abound in fruitfulness and have the assurance of forever. We have all we need and when we use all that we have we will grow…and it will show.

     | 3,519 views

    Exposing the popular and deadly "christianish" false gospel of justification by human effort. The man who has confidence on the day of judgment because he has been "doing right" is lost and remains under the wrath of God.

    Dakota Community Church May 22, 2011 Mighty to Save - 2 Matthew 7:21-23 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not ...read more

     | 3,719 views

    During Memorial Day weekend, we celebrate the sacrifices of those who died that we might live in freedom and in peace. While remembering their accomplishments, we must also ask ourselves where is God in the history and human events?

    I Chronicles 29:10-20 “God in the Middle of Human Events” INTRODUCTION People often comment that they see God in numerous places in nature like a beach sunset, on a mountain top panorama, and the gently flowing water of a forest stream. It is more difficult for us to see God in history. Not ...read more

    In the Southern Baptist Convention, today is Sanctity of Human Life Day, and that is the subject of our Bible study. It’s sad that not all people believe that human life is precious. Suicide bombers, terrorists and murders have no regard for human life

    based on 27 ratings
     | 3,221 views

    Our sanctification (being set apart for God as holy) does not occur through human efforts to keep the law, but through the power of the Spirit animating, motivating, and empowering us to do God’s will. It is a matter of motives and means.
