    How To Handle The Unexpected Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Dec 18, 2018
     | 10,569 views

    Mary serves as an example of how to handle life when life doesn't go as expected--a great example. We all experience this sort of thing, and we find out--life doens't go as expected all the time. How would God have us respond?

    The Divine Advent(ure) How to Handle the Unexpected Luke 1:26-56 Have you ever noticed how life never seems to going exactly, or sometimes, even close to your plans? One of my favorite quotes is this one, apparently from an unbeliever: “Life is what happens when you’re making other plans.” And ...read more

    On the whole being prepared isn’t a bad thing. In fact it can be downright crucial! Most people I know that have had a very difficult life, it is not that they could not have done much better in life, it was simply a lack of preparation.

    TITLE: READY OR NOT SCRIPTURE: ST. MATTHEW 25:1-13 I remember with great fondness growing up and spending weekends and holidays with my grandparents in Keyport, NJ. Both sets of grandparents lived just blocks from one another. One of my grandparents lived right next to the City Cemetery. I ...read more

    Character Study Of Aaron Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Mar 22, 2025
     | 574 views

    Aaron was a chosen servant of God, anointed as the first high priest of Israel. His life teaches us the importance of obedience, humility, and faithfulness in leadership. However, his failures also show the dangers of yielding to pressure and lacking firm spiritual leadership.

    CHARACTER STUDY OF AARON – FIRST HIGH PRIEST, BROTHER OF MOSES By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Exodus 28:1 – “And take thou unto thee Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that he may minister unto me in the priest’s office, even Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, ...read more

    Are there some ways other than the Bible through which God lets us know what He desires and what He expects from us?

    RYAN: Pastor Dan, there is something I need to tell you right away. DAN: Are you sure it can’t wait until after the worship service is over? RYAN: No. No, this is important. DAN: OK, what is it?

    God's Universally Known Standard Series

    based on 38 ratings
     | 15,325 views

    The lack of the written Law is not the problem, the issue is sin. All have inner knowledge of God's law & some have the external law. It is not so much which law you have, the one written in everyone's inner being or the one written in God's book.

    ROMANS 2: 12-16 GOD'S UNIVERSALLY KNOWN STANDARD [James 1:22-24 / Galatians 1: 6-12] The principle stated in Romans 2:11 that "there is no partiality with God" would shock the Jews. They considered themselves worthy of special treatment by God. Does God's impartiality exclude His taking into ...read more

    Worry, anxiety and fear are tools of the enemy. Can we find positive benefits of worry? Worry can breed worry. Worry can weigh us down with heavy spirits that can lead to a lack of trusting God's word.

    Remembering God’s past faithfulness fuels our present hope and prayer, empowering us to trust Him and expect His power in today’s challenges.

    Some nights feel noisier than others. The worries keep whispering, the clock keeps ticking, and our hearts keep wondering if morning will ever come. Have you been there? You grab your phone, scroll a few old photos, and a smile slips in where sighs used to sit. Memory does that. Memory can be a ...read more

     | 2,163 views

    Research shows that most New Years Resolutions are broken by the second Friday of the year so much so that the second Friday of January is called quitters day. Because of discouragement, disappointment, lack of enthusiasm, hopelessness, disdain, disgust, frustration people give up and quit.

    Don’t Quit Just Speak to it By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING: - As Christians we supposedly do not make New Years Resolutions, it is considered taboo, sinful, a lie, false oath, or any other tradition you want to title it, but truth be told we all look to the New Year with a level of ...read more
