    This sermon is for Valentine’s Day. It focuses on the great expectations we have and how we shouldn’t let them blind us to the great things we are actually receiving.

    2 Kings 5:1-8 Now Naaman was commander of the army of the king of Aram. He was a great man in the sight of his master and highly regarded, because through him the LORD had given victory to Aram. He was a valiant soldier, but he had leprosy. 2 Now bands from Aram had gone out and had taken ...read more

    A look at God's complaints about Israel's shepherds and what that means for pastors today.

    OUTLINE: The Pastor Is God’s Representative, Right? There are a lot of Biblical references where God is displeased with pastors. - Jeremiah 3:15; Jeremiah 23:1-4; Ezekiel 34:1-31; Matthew 23:1-39. What A Good Shepherd Looks Like: 1. The focus is on the sheep, not the pastor. - Ezekiel ...read more

    When The Promise Takes Longer Than Expected

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Aug 14, 2025
     | 171 views

    The length of the wait does not diminish the certainty of the promise. God’s delays are not denials; they are divine preparations. Every moment of waiting is building you for the day of fulfilment.

    WHEN THE PROMISE TAKES LONGER THAN EXPECTED By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Habakkuk 2:2-3 Key Verse: “For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.” (Habakkuk 2:3, ...read more

    Easter: Do You Believe In The God Of Surprises?

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Apr 3, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,484 views

    Do you believe in the God of surprises? I do - but there is no way the friends of Jesus expected him to rise from the dead. No way! But the Good News is that he did and it is Good News for all people. Do you believe in the God of surprises?

    Do you believe in the God of surprises? Now, let’s be clear, just in case anyone’s not sure. Although The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is one of my favourite books, and one of my favourite films, I know that it’s only make-believe; but just like the parables that Jesus told – the stories he ...read more

    You Be The Judge Series

    Contributed by Mark Eberly on Sep 10, 2007
     | 2,951 views

    One of the most often quoted bible passages outside of church is from Matthew 7. Does this mean that Jesus expects his followers to never, ever make any kind of judgment of anyone or anything? Let’s find out.

    Probably one of the most quoted scriptures in our culture is “Do not judge.” This is usually used in the context another determining that what someone else says or does is wrong. But is that really the intention of the passage or has the verse been sort of “proof-texted?” You know—I have a point ...read more

    Jesus Is The Answer, But What Was The Question?

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Jan 19, 2025
     | 486 views

    Jesus travels to the Jordan River to inaugurate His ministry by being Baptized in the Jordan River. This is not what John the Baptist expects, as John's Baptism is a baptism of Repentance. Why was Jesus Baptized?

    Based on a Sermon by Kevin Judd There’s a story about a pastor giving a children’s sermon. He decides to use a story about forest animals as his starting point, so he gathers the kids around him and begins by asking them a question. “I’m going to describe someone to you, and I want you to tell me ...read more

    Who Is Jesus? Message 1: Rabbi Jesus Text: Matthew 7:24-29 Introduction: Matthew is the Jewish Gospel; it was likely written specifically for Jewish Christians, and as an apologetic to the Jews...as an evangelistic tool.

    2007 For Jesus!

    JESUS! JESUS! JESUS! It’s dark. It’s still. It’s raining softly. It’s the first moments of 2007. It seems like the whole earth is quiet. There is no noise. But if you still your mind and heart you can hear a very small, barely perceptible, almost indistinguishable sound. It’s not heard with the ...read more

    Jesus is the central expression of God's grace and peace to us. Our unity/thankfulness for one another in the Lord is not based on our complete agreement on every social, political, or religious topic but upon our common experience of God's grace/peace

    Be Ready, Jesus Is Coming Again!

    based on 144 ratings
     | 72,513 views

    The Bible tells us that the coming of Christ is imminent, which means that it could happen at any moment. So Paul teaches Christian to be ready and must expect at any moment that Jesus will soon return to the earth.

    BE READY, JESUS IS COMING AGAIN! Acts 1:9-11 “They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. ‘Men of Galilee,’ they said, ‘why do you stand here looking into the sky?

    Angels Protect Baby Jesus Lesson 4 Series

     | 54 views

    Don’t ask God to do miraculously, what He expects us to do with our intellect, strength and planning.

    1. There were many attempts to kill Jesus before He went to the cross; and Herod killing the babies in Nazareth was one of them. (Killed maybe 20 babies). 2. This lesson shows the work of guardian angels. “These little ones . . . their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in ...read more

    For unto us a child is born gives us a sense of expectancy, it gives us a sense of potentiality, and it gives us a sense of responsibility.

    Know your own self, do what is right whether you like it or not, and go beyond the norm. It will drive your mother crazy and will call from your Father, "Well done".

    Our relationship with our mothers is at once the most wonderful and yet the most difficult of all our relationships. We love them deeply, and we get so upset with them we almost hate them. Few of us are neutral about our mothers; we hold them close and then push them away forcefully. We get ...read more
