     | 6,452 views

    What IS faith and HOW should it be practised? CAN we please God WITHOUT faith? What is the IMPACT of faith on a believer's life? Examples of the EFFECT of faith on people's lives who TRUSTED God, and the CONSEQUENCES of a LACK of faith on people's lives.

    Hebrews 11:1 "Faith makes us sure of what we hope for,and gives us proof of what we can not see." Hebrews 11:6 “Without faith it is impossible to ...read more

    Time Spent In God's Word

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Aug 7, 2024
     | 1,294 views

    I wonder how much time each of you spend in God's Word each day. These numbers show a troubling imbalance in our lack of time spent in the Scripture and its damaging effect on our spiritual vitality.

    If we took a poll here in our church, I wonder how much time each of you spend in God's Word each day. Research shows that the average person is exposed to anywhere between 4,000 and 10,000 messages a day. You are probably thinking, "No way do I receive that many messages." But ...read more

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Aug 2, 2025
     | 228 views

    Many people feel disqualified or unworthy of being used by God because of their background, mistakes, or lack of qualifications. However, throughout Scripture, we see a consistent pattern: God delights in raising ordinary men and women to accomplish extraordinary things.

    GOD RAISES ORDINARY MEN FOR EXTRAORDINARY PURPOSES By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 1 Chronicles 11:10-47 Supporting Texts: Judges 6:11-16, 1 Samuel 16:11-13, Acts 4:13, 1 Corinthians 1:26-29, 2 Corinthians 4:7 INTRODUCTION: Many people feel disqualified or unworthy of being used by God ...read more

     | 1,963 views

    Jesus knew that faith and obedience must be expressed in new actions for maturing believers. When the Lord Jesus invited Peter to walk on the water He said, "Come." Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus.

    Embracing Life Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Oct 20, 2003
    based on 44 ratings
     | 10,550 views

    The fear of life is often seen in resisting change and living in denial of the seasons of life. If we try to fight the seasons of life rather than accept them, we will miss the blessings God has for us and we will fail to mature. We need to embrace life

    Embracing Life (Ecclesiastes 3:1-15) Intro 1. A major part of who we are and what we do is determined by fear. 2. Fear is not necessarily evil. Legitimate fear of danger, for example, results in restraint: whether driving, playing football, or welding, caution is a virtue. 3. There are fears ...read more

     | 5,603 views

    Are you boasting about Jesus and His image – are others looking at you imitating Jesus and boasting about your faith, love and spiritual maturity? Paul did of the Thessalonians! Are there those in our community boasting about our perseverance as a Church

    Series: Imitators 2 Thessalonians was written shortly after the first letter was delivered. Most likely the deliverer of the first letter noted some serious misunderstandings of The Coming of the Lord and end times beliefs which needed to be addressed.

    Our decision to live for Christ and mature in Him was never promised to us as an easy job. There will always be things (and people) in life who will try to ruin our testimony or prevent us from "running the race."

    JOHN 8:1-11 LIVING A GODLY LIFE IS TROUBLESOME BECAUSE OF THE WORLD WE LIVE IN (v.1-6) -world will attack your beliefs -world will attack you -because of the world, we need EACH OTHER (event was not about the woman or her sin... the used her to try and trap JESUS LIVING A GODLY ...read more

    God give us gifts to use in His work. How we use and build those gifts is up to us. We grow as we mature in Christ and become more aware of things outside ourselves.

    Exodus 31:1-3 INTRO: The idea of Christmas means different things to different people. Some hold the idea in wonderment of the thrill of presents while others cringe at the idea of expense and yet others dive into the depths of meaning of types and symbols. From the very young to ...read more

    A message laying out the case for Jesus, using evidences allowed in courtrooms. Primarily aimed at seekers, but even mature Christians will gain from hearing this message. Inspired by Sean McDowell’s GODQUEST series.

    When you think of Jesus, what mental image or picture comes to mind? Do you see Him as this indescribable and unknowable figure who lives in the sky, or do you imagine Him as a very personal confidante that walks beside you wherever you go? We all have some mental image of Jesus. The trouble is ...read more
