    EXAMINATION, may we INTENTLY LOOK at the Word of God. CONSISTENCY, may we CONTINUALLY LOOK for God’s will. ACTION, may we take Christianity seriously and are DOERS of the Word.

    Heaven: A Prepared Place For Prepared People

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on May 14, 2025
     | 651 views

    Heaven is real, glorious, and eternal—but only those who are prepared will enter it. Jesus paid the price and made the way. The invitation is extended to all, but the response must be personal and intentional.

Samuel Arimoro Main Text: John 14:1-3 Supporting Texts: Revelation 21:1-4, Matthew 25:34, Philippians 3:20-21, 1 Corinthians 2:9, Hebrews 11:13-16 INTRODUCTION: The Bible speaks of heaven as a glorious, eternal destination for those who have ...read more

    Set Free From Shame Premium Sermon

    Contributed by PRO Premium on Oct 9, 2023
    based on 3 ratings
     | 836 views

    The sermon explores the transformative encounter of the Samaritan woman with Jesus, illustrating God's intent to save rather than condemn, and the possibility of turning guilt and shame into healing and belonging through God's grace.

    The story of the Samaritan woman perfectly illustrates how God sent Jesus not to condemn the world but to save the world through him. Jesus humbles himself, engages the woman in conversation, and sets her free from shame and guilt. She arrives at the well as a sinner, but leaves as a saint. ...read more

    Becoming as devoted to each other as we are to Jesus is what it takes to walk successfully with other Christ-followers. Let’s explore that together.

    BIG IDEA: Walking with God’s family involves handling disclosure correctly, exercising discernment and becoming as devoted to each other as we are to Jesus Christ. 1. We Must Handle Disclosure Correctly. What does it mean to disclose something? To disclose something means to reveal it, to make ...read more

    Everything is connected when you are a true disciple of Jesus.

    Wise Living and Discipleship (Proverbs 27:8-13) 1. This is a true story: For the second week in a row, my son and I were the only ones who showed up for his soccer team’s practice.

    I Am With You When You Are All Alone Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jul 26, 2020
     | 5,762 views

    The Bible is filled with the stories of flesh and blood people … frail human beings with ordinary human needs who face all of the same kinds of struggles and challenges that we face … which is why we can not only relate to Paul’s discouragement but can learn from his courage as well.

    I want to start out by reading an anonymous poem called “Friendship”: Friendship is a priceless gift that cannot be bought or sold But its value is far greater than a mountain of gold For gold is cold and lifeless It can neither see nor hear And in times of trouble it is powerless to cheer It has ...read more

    What Is Biblical Love? How To Walk In The Way Of Love Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Feb 12, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,541 views

    Biblical love is willing to say a hard truth to someone in love, knowing that we may lose the friendship, but loving their soul more than their companionship. That’s real love. Niceness is a joke and a sham, compared to the glory of agape love.

    Dave Simmons shared in his book about being a dad a time when he and his two kids went to a mall, and the mall had a petting zoo there. He had given each of his children, Brandon and Helen a quarter to enter, and then went to continue shopping. Soon he saw his daughter hadn’t gone in. He went to ...read more

    Does God Hate Homosexuals? Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021
     | 3,781 views

    Two people of the same sex can try to get that deep kind of completion through a sexual friendship, which is homosexuality. The Bible says you can’t get that kind of completion, the completion we’re talking about in marriage, from somebody of the same sex.

    Thank you for joining for this important topic, provocatively titled, “Does God Hate Homosexuals”? Two forces are colliding in the political and cultural landscape of our day: religious liberty and homosexuality ideology. White House press secretary Sean Spicer said on Thursday that freedom of ...read more

     | 1,930 views

    A few years after this, Abimelech visited Abraham, who had moved southward beyond his territory, and entered into an alliance of peace and friendship with him. This league was the first of which we have any record. A mutual oath confirmed it at Beer-sheba (Genesis 21:22-34).

    Tom lowe 1/5/2022 Abimelech, King of Gerar Abimelech means "my father a king" or "father of a king." This is the name of 5 biblical men; 4 were kings. Abimelech was the common name for Philistine kings, as the name "Pharaoh" is for Egyptian kings. Abimelech, the ...read more

     | 13,632 views

    No matter how well-intentioned our friends may be, there will likely be times (for one reason or another) they may not be there for us in a time of crisis or need...but God will always stand with us.

    BUT THE LORD STOOD WITH ME "At my first defense no one stood with me, but all forsook me. May it not be charged against them. But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me…also I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion." II Timothy 4:16-17 I. Man is not always dependable: "…no one stood ...read more

    As we come to the last part of Matthew 26, we will see that those intent on trying Jesus were filled with prejudice because their minds were made up before they heard all the facts.

    I get a kick out of hearing things that have actually been said in courtrooms. Q: Mrs. Jones, is your appearance this morning pursuant to a deposition notice which I sent to your attorney?
