    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Mar 22, 2025
     | 621 views

    Samson’s life was a mixture of great power and great failure. He was a man chosen by God, yet his lack of self-discipline led to his downfall. However, in his final moments, he turned back to God and was used mightily.

    Rejoice In The Lord Always!

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Jan 16, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,666 views

    The source of our true rejoicing is found only through a right relationship with God! Everything apart from him is crumbling and disappointing. Yet our God is eternal, glorious, lacks in no way, and never fails. So those who enjoy a living fellowship with Christ are given true gladness of heart.

    Are we known as a joyful people? Is that the reputation we have, that we’re often rejoicing? Perhaps not. On first impressions, our worship is pretty sombre. In speaking about our faith, most of us are reserved, and we keep our emotions well in check. Even when we have what we call “the celebration ...read more

    Who Cares?

     | 22,315 views

    ver felt like no one cares? We all have those "Who Cares?" moments when we aren’t even sure that God really cares. Take heart . . . He cares, He is with us, He is still able!

    Who Cares? It is an interesting phrase. Just the tone with which it is spoken can determine its intention and meaning. It can be used to show disdain and lack of concern. I can remember in high school our girl’s basketball team made the state playoffs and while the other team’s players were being ...read more

    Will You Wait On God? Series

    based on 3 ratings
     | 7,723 views

    Faith is tested when we must wait and continue to trust God even when the answer seems far away, or when our problems seem too great. Abraham's lack of an heir, and God's promise to work a miracle for Abraham provide a powerful example for us of waiting

    Sermon Notes April 22, 2012 FBCam Will You Wait on God? Genesis 17 We often equate FAITH with DECISIONS. Sometimes FAITH is about WAITING. Romans 4:9-12 describes Abraham as the “Father of our Faith.” When we consider Abraham’s faith, we normally consider his faith in ...read more

    God has given us each specific gifts and resources. He expects us to live for the advancement of the Kingdom on earth. When we fail to do this, we are outside of His will and off assignment.

    The Pace Of Provision

     | 5,364 views

    We want provision right now! Send in the offering and expect the miracle, the new car, or the new house. However, there is a pace to provision that we must understand and in which we must participate.

    The Pace of Provision We like to talk about provision. You can get shouted down when you begin to talk about provision. I may not get an “amen” when I preach about lust, gluttony, or anger, but when I get off on provision you can bet amens are coming. American Christianity is particular is ...read more

    Who Am I

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Apr 15, 2015
     | 7,538 views

    Like Peter, we are followers of Jesus. Like Peter, we sometimes have deep faith, and, at other times, a lack of faith. Jesus saw in Peter the same thing he sees in us-building material that can be shaped into a people of faith to serve his reign.

    The Gospel reading from Matthew 16:13-20 takes place in the region of Caesarea Philippi. It was a territory where pagan gods were worshipped, and it is there that Jesus asks Peter a question about his identity; not in some safe territory, but in a non-believing location. Perhaps that is why Jesus ...read more
