    Lovers Of Pleasure More Than Lovers Of God

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jul 23, 2025
     | 254 views

    Pleasure in itself is not sinful. God created us with the ability to enjoy life, but the problem arises when pleasure becomes our priority and passion, while God becomes secondary or even ignored.

For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, ...read more

     | 2,996 views

    You are citizens of two orders, two systems. This world with its necessary institutions, and the order of the kingdom of God with its necessary values. This is not because the two orders have equal authority, but because God is the ruler and owner of both.

    So many of us build our lives upon things that will one day crumble: wealth, status, possessions, even health. But Paul reminds us to fix our gaze not on the sandcastles of this world but on what will last forever.

    Go! And Fix Your Eyes on What Will Last Forever 2 Corinthians 4:18 (NLT): “So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen.

    a sermon about decision-making. Often times, in the “gray areas”, we simply need to decide what things in life are most important to God. We need to straighten out our priorities.

    The message explores the idea of being the best and the greatest. However, in the Kingdom of God, that is defined in ways that this world cannot understand. In fact, that should not even be our goal...serving Christ with our all is the priority.
