    Persevering Through Trials Series

    Contributed by Brian Bill on Feb 5, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 21,610 views

    Trials that test us will toughen our faith if we don’t allow temptations to trip us up. Trials from without and temptations from within are no match for the Christian who stands in truth from above.

    Persevering Through Trials February 2-3, 2019 James 1:1-18 Rev. Brian Bill A man who filed an insurance claim was asked for additional information from the company. Here’s his response.

    Is God Sustaining Your Church

     | 3,079 views

    Are you struggling to keep the doors open? Stop! God is most likely calling you to a better pasture because yours is brown.

    "What God does not ordain, He does not sustain." - Unknown This may well be why so many church starts fail. Intentions may have been good and demographics screamed, "GO!", but the still small voice of God said, "No" or "Not now" or "Not you." It ...read more

    Jesus Glorified-Part 2

    Contributed by Byron Sherman on Apr 18, 2023
     | 895 views

    2 of 5. The apostle John recorded some of the events surrounding the imminence of Jesus’ glorification. There are aspects of Jesus’ being glorified that are of great significance. How &/or Why is Jesus glorified? 6 significant aspects of Jesus’ glorification.

    JESUS GLORIFIED-II—John 12:27-28(:20-36) Attention: I have a launched a personal campaign against a particular plant in the woods surrounding the parsonage.

    Spiritual Warfare In Evangelism Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Mar 17, 2025
     | 583 views

    Evangelism is not just about sharing the gospel; it is a spiritual battle between the kingdom of God and the forces of darkness. Every soul won to Christ is a soul delivered from Satan’s grip, which is why evangelism often faces opposition.

    SPIRITUAL WARFARE IN EVANGELISM By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Ephesians 6:12 "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."

    The Danger Of Following God With Human Wisdom

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Aug 5, 2025
     | 191 views

    God is not seeking experts; He is seeking the obedient. Following Him requires that we crucify our natural wisdom and embrace divine instruction. There is danger in depending on human intelligence to navigate spiritual assignments. Such a path leads to error, frustration, and loss.

    THE DANGER OF FOLLOWING GOD WITH HUMAN WISDOM By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 1 Corinthians 1:18-25 “For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God…” (1 Corinthians 1:18) Supporting Texts: Proverbs 3:5-7, Romans 8:6-8, ...read more

    The story of Mephibosheth is a powerful testimony of how God’s grace can transform a life marked by pain, rejection, and obscurity into one of restoration, favour, and glory.

    The Gospel: Spirit Led Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Nov 23, 2015
     | 5,757 views

    We have two natures and they are diametrically opposed. The sinful nature verses the spiritual nature. Each nature desires what is contrary to the other. All Christians have this internal conflict. But living by the Spirit brings victory.

    It can be a shocking discovery. It takes place in the slums of our big cities. It takes place in upscale suburban subdivisions. And it is taking place right now inside of your mouth. Maybe you have seen the mouthwash commercials that show the inside of a mouth magnified by one thousand ...read more

    The sin nature that remains within the believer & wants to express itself in his beliefs, thoughts, and actions. There is an internal conflict in the area of sanctification that every believer faces. This inner conflict is intensified for those who seek

    ROMANS 7: 7-14 THE AWAKEN CONSCIENCE A believer is to understand that his identification with Jesus Christ means that he has died to sin (6:2) and then he is to reckon or take hold of (appropriate) that as true (6:11) in his daily life.

     | 3,296 views

    To succeed in life, we must learn how to lose with dignity. Analyzing our setbacks and developing our skills helps us identify our weaknesses. Success isn't about winning but learning from our failures, which helps build character and achieve victory.

    How Hardships Work For Good

    Contributed by Greg Nance on May 25, 2013
     | 4,185 views

    Acts 5 gives us two cases where the church faced hardship. One was internal and the other was external. Both were used by God for the good of the church. How can that happen for us today?

    (Read Acts 5 with slides) What does it take to ruin a church? What does it take to stop God? Acts 5 gives us two stories about threats to the church, one from the inside and the other from the outside. First. The threat from the inside produced two deaths and great fear upon the whole ...read more

    A New Kind Of Righteousness Series

    Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Jan 30, 2005
    based on 39 ratings
     | 7,391 views

    Jesus’ new kind of righteousness is based on: 1. Internals rather than externals. 2. Transformation rather than avoiding transgressions. 3. A relationship rather than rules.

    Perhaps you have seen it. It is a bumper sticker which displays the slogan: “Christians Aren’t Perfect, Just Forgiven.” It is a catchy phrase, the only problem is that it misrepresents the Christian life. Is that all we are, “just forgiven”? Is there no more to it than that? Do we, in the ...read more

     | 5,059 views

    There are several spiritual "games" which we play,legalistically, in an attempt to justify ourselves (look better, even before God). But only an internal, true change, counts before God.

    Outline for CBF AM June 28, 2009 Intro. 2:1-16 -- the error of self-justification by performance comparison with other people. 2:17-29 -- the error of self-justification by other minor externals *** Errors I.

    Pharisee Or Holiness?

    Contributed by Craig Benner on Oct 22, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,843 views

    There are many who would argue that a Pharisee and one who believes in holiness are one in the same. I beg to differ. True holiness affects the external and the internal. It affects the acts and the attitude.

    Are you a Pharisee or are you Holiness? Let us see if there is a difference and determine to understand why some people have trouble differentiating between the two. Pharisee = a person in the role of religious service who believes that his or her title and/or office automatically make him or her ...read more
