    based on 1 rating
     | 3,893 views

    In the context of White Privilege, we sometimes think God loves us because we are lovable. Quite the opposite, God calls us when we aren't worthy or even very lovable. Responding to a God who brings laughter.

    Sermon: Undeserved • Sarah and Abraham were unworthy but God gave them Isaac (laughter) anyway. • We were undeserving, but Jesus died for us anyway. • If we know God loves us even if we are undeserving, how should we act towards others? I was speaking with a group of pastors this week about ...read more

    Character Study Of Sarah Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Mar 21, 2025
     | 85 views

    Sarah’s journey from barrenness to motherhood demonstrates God’s faithfulness. Though she had moments of doubt and impatience, she ultimately trusted God and became the mother of nations. Her life reminds us that God’s promises never fail, even when they seem delayed.

    CHARACTER STUDY OF SARAH (SARAI) – WIFE OF ABRAHAM, MOTHER OF ISAAC By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Genesis 17:15-19 "And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be. And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: ...read more

    As much as he might have feared the ridicule or laughter of his cronies for not keeping the hasty vow, he now faced an even greater fear, because he thinks that Jesus is actually John returned from the dead!

    January 6, 2003 The Most Evil Woman in the Bible Mark 6:14-6:28 　 Today, we are going to look at one of the most evil women in the Bible. Her name is the feminine form of Herod—it’s Herodias. That was the title worn by the political rulers during the life and times of Jesus and ...read more

    Real faith challenges the status-quo. Real faith says, “I was made for more than this.” Real faith sees past obstacles to a brighter future God has in store for His children.

    We continue our series on Abraham this morning. If you have your Bibles, turn with me to Genesis 18, if you will. As a part of today’s message, we have something special for you.

    Today I want to try to address the many demands of life that keep us from addressing the necessary things of life. Things like peace and contentment, family, friends, laughter and rest. Most importantly of all, time with God

    Work and Rest finding a balance Mark 6:30,34 30 The apostles gathered around Jesus and reported to him all they had done and taught. 31 Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and ...read more

     | 13,770 views

    Today, amid all the laughter of entertainment, parties and such we are a joyless society. I like joy; I like the genuine kind that starts deep down within and bubbles up to the surface. It is irrepressible, unstoppable and it is what Jesus died to bring

    January 5, 2003 1And all the people gathered as one man at the square which was in front of the Water Gate, and they asked Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses which the LORD had given to Israel. 2Then Ezra the priest brought the law before the assembly of men, women and all who ...read more

    God's Discipline

     | 8,997 views

    We have to discipline our children, and sometimes the things they do are so funny, we have to hold back our laughter in the midst of discipline. There’s nothing funny about the sin that God’s people commit against Him.

    People are funny, and the funniest people, in my judgement are children. As much as we love our children, we soon find out that they require discipline. When my oldest son was born, I took his picture with me to show people. I showed it to an elderly black lady, and I’ll never forget what she ...read more

    There are those who declare that you can tell if you have the Spirit by some miraculous behavior on your part. But, Paul writes that you need to gauge God’s Spirit in a different way.

    Two good old boys bought a couple of horses during the summer. But when winter came, they found it cost too much to board them. So they turned the horses loose in a pasture where there was plenty to eat. One said to the other: "How will we tell yours from mine when we pick them up?" "Oh ...read more

    Have you noticed that Jesus often says the exact opposite of popular ideas? Christianity is for thinking people. Jesus did not establish a Church where people just check their brains at the entry door and blindly follow men. We worship God also with our minds. Jesus challenges us to think.

    This is a living city alive in His Spirit, alive with His saints and angels, full of laughter in the joy of His presence. His presence permeates the air, work is now fun, not a burden. I could work a thousand years without a break and my fellowship with

    I didn't want to preach this sermon about Sarah's faith... but read the sermon to find out what I learned.

    Children’s story: Do you love your mommy? She loves you too. In fact, I don’t think she could imagine a life without you. Without you, she’d be very sad. Back in the Old Testament there’s the story of a woman who couldn’t have a little boy or girl. She didn’t think she’d EVER become a mommy. And ...read more

    Abraham laughed in the cynicism of old age; Sarah laughed in the denial that defends against what is inevitable; but beyond both of them God laughed in joy at the triumph of His purposes, fulfilled in two aged followers.

    You have heard it said, “He who laughs last, laughs best.” Let me expand on that: I may laugh, you may laugh, but God will have the last and best laugh, for God’s purposes will be served. Laughter. There are all sorts of reasons to laugh. Some will laugh out of frustration; unable to do what ...read more
