    When Paul spoke to Felix about faith in Christ he discussed righteousness, self-control and the judgment to come. It scared Felix, but not enough. What motivates us to live for Christ?

    What would you risk your life for? Acts 15:26 speaks of “men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Paul asks the question in 1 Cor. 15:30, “Why do we stand in jeopardy every hour?” In Romans 8 he quotes Psalms 44 and applies it to Christians: “For your sake we ...read more

    Titus defines God ordained leaders. 1- They are blameless in life and religion 2- They are Spirit controlled rather than uncontrolled 3- They are committed to God’s word in teaching

    INTRO.- Out of order. Don’t you just hate that sign? And especially when you want to use an ATM or an elevator or a vending machine or a public restroom (particularly on a cruise ship!). HAVE YOU EVER HAD THAT EXPERIENCE? Of course, if a restroom was “out of order” that might ...read more

    Division has been Satan’s primary means to obtain his loyal followers. It is a time-honored emblem of his control over mankind in the place of God or his Son.

    Our culture is very confused, very distracted and very divided in determining what is right and what is wrong. Satan is dividing our nation and deceiving the population making it very hard to speak out and teach our neighbor what is truth. The words of Abraham Lincoln, in his House Divided speech ...read more

    When we are discouraged, or we knowingly or unknowingly begin to discourage others, let us stop and take back the control of what we are thinking. Let us think Encouragement

    Think Encouragement Today is Mother’s Day. Thank God for mothers. Without them where would we all have been? It is usual for children to do something special for their mothers on Mother’s day.

    The God-ordained trip for Paul consists of a very difficult voyage. We see his faith in God despite the ordeal. God is sovereign, present and in control in our trials and tribulations.

    How often do your plans start well but then somehow moved into chaos? You make all the arrangements but then disaster strikes. • Where do you turn to in times of crisis? When you have done all that you possibly can, what’s next? Are we going to give up or still stick with God? • Welcome to Acts ...read more

    James devotes most of chapter 3 to our challenge of controlling the tongue. In this sermon, we examine James' pronouncements about the tongue and then look at improper and proper uses of the tongue.

    Introduction: A. If your tongue has ever gotten you into trouble, then please raise your hand. 1. Turn to your neighbor and say, “I’m not surprised!” 2. We are not surprised, because it happens to all of us. 3. All of us have had the experience of saying something, and then wishing we had not said ...read more

    Most Americans work and much of their life is controlled by someone else. There certainly is nothing wrong with that. This country could not operate unless people were willing to fill the jobs that are needed.

    Some jobs require a lot from folks who apply for them. It is essential to find qualified people to fill these jobs. Illus: A few months ago, there was an opening with the CIA for an assassin. Two men and a woman applied for this job. The day came for the final test to see which person would get ...read more

    Opening Up The Ancient Gates

     | 754 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.

    Living Sacrifice Youth Sermon

     | 816 views

    When we give our lives to Christ, we surrender control and embrace His way. We become citizens of heaven and new creations, sacrificing everything for the sake of the gospel.

    Today, we're going to talk about what it means to live as people who've been saved. We're not just supposed to say "thanks" and move on. We're supposed to live differently. Imagine you've got a brand new phone. It's the latest model, super shiny, and it's all yours. But instead of using it, you ...read more

    The grace of God is always present and always sufficient, but sometimes we forget our need for his grace and we do not rediscover it until we are faced with circumstances beyond our control.
