     | 542 views

    Believers should both hear and act on the Word of God. Those who listen and respond are blessed in their actions.

    Ever had your parents ask you to do something, and you're like, 'Yeah, yeah, I heard you,' but then you never actually do it? It's like you heard the words, but they just didn't sink in. James is telling us that it's not enough to just hear God's Word; we've got to do something about it. Remember ...read more

    True faith is more than just believing—it's about living out God's Word in our daily lives. Our actions should reflect our faith, showing that we truly follow Christ.

It's all about how faith isn't just about believing in God, but actually living out what He says in our everyday lives. So, let's start with a little object lesson. I want you to imagine you're looking in a ...read more

    The Power Of Self-Control

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Feb 25, 2025
     | 396 views

    Self-control is a crucial virtue that every believer must cultivate. Without it, a person is vulnerable to sin, emotional outbursts, and spiritual failure. It is not merely about suppressing desires but about bringing them under the lordship of Christ.

    THE POWER OF SELF-CONTROL By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Proverbs 25:28 – “He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.” Supporting Texts: Galatians 5:22-23, 2 Timothy 1:7, Titus 2:11-12, 1 Corinthians 9:25-27, James ...read more

    Choosing To Step Up

    Contributed by Harold Ihua on Aug 24, 2024

     | 1,036 views

    The life of a believer in Christ Jesus, is one of choices. The believer can either choose to step down- be conformed to the world or step up- be transformed into the image of Christ.

    The admonition in Romans 12:2 to the believers in Christ Jesus not to be confirmed to the world is a stern warning not to allow the prince of the power of the air ( i.e the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience- demonic spirits) to take hold of their lives and minds. As the prince ...read more

    Do you believe that the Bible can help us with any circumstance that comes into our life. It is always good advice. But do we take seriously the advice from God?

    This past month we asked the question if we even need the Bible. We also talked about listening to God instead of just hearing His word. Last week we talked about meditating on God's word and really taking it to heart. I am going to go back to the book of James today to talk about what we do ...read more

    Jesus, in the Gospel, enumerates the evil we must avoid, or repent of if we haven’t avoided it. It’s like a to-do list from a modern person’s daily schedule, isn’t it?

    Twenty-Second Sunday in Course 2024 Those who have known me as a preacher for any length of time also know that I am not a big fan of the clerics who put our Lectionary together.
