    What Good Can Come From This? PRO Sermon

     | 142 views

    God invites us to move beyond cynicism, trust His surprising work, and expect transformation when we honestly bring our doubts and hopes to Jesus in prayer.

    Some of us carry a quiet weariness. We scroll headlines, hear hard news, and think, “Here we go again.” Cynicism creeps in like a cold draft. We start to shrink our hopes, trim our prayers, and settle for safe, small expectations. We wonder if real change is possible. We wonder if God still ...read more

    The Defiance Of The Queen Series

     | 5,308 views

    Queen Vashti was expected to behave in a way contrary to conscience and she refused the king's command. Her refusal was the right decision to make, but it cost her dearly. Living upright will not always gain one the favor of the world.

    The Defiance of the Queen Esther 1: 10-22 As we consider our text today, we must do so in light of the preceding verses. King Ahasuerus had thrown a six month long party, culminating with a seven day finale. He had provided an elaborate escapade for all the princes and servants within the ...read more

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jan 25, 2025
     | 1,064 views

    To live above reproach means to lead a life that is free from blame, accusation, or scandal. It is the call to reflect God’s holiness in our character, conduct, and speech so that our lives will be a testimony to the unbelieving world.

    Title: LIVING ABOVE REPROACH By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Philippians 2:15 "That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world." Supporting Texts: 1 Timothy 3:2; ...read more

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Jul 17, 2023

     | 3,649 views

    Effectiveness in prayer is more than a matter of volume. We pray in the context of our relationship with God. We learn to align ourselves with the will of God so that we are partnering with him rather than trying to persuade him. This message teaches how to pray in faith for results.

    Intro In this message we will review five keys to answered prayer. When we make our requests to God, we are not just fulfilling a religious duty. We are interacting with our Heavenly Father concerning a perceived need. Our petition is not effective until we either get the answer or get counsel from ...read more

    Life is filled with moments of doubt. John the Baptist, a man who boldly proclaimed the coming of the Messiah finds himself in a dark prison cell, questioning whether Jesus truly is the One he had been waiting for. Even the strongest among us may question what we once knew to be true.

    Religion That Makes A Difference Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Jul 5, 2021
     | 4,415 views

    James uses very confrontational language as he drives home the point that if we don't put God's Word into practice, then why did we bother to hear it. Religion that makes a difference is religion leads to godly language, godly love, and godly lifestyle.

    Introduction: A. I heard about a man who came into worship late one Sunday. 1. He asked someone in the back of the auditorium, “Is the sermon done yet?” 2. The person wisely answered, “The sermon has been preached, but it has yet to be done.” 3. Wow! You talk about a statement that is truthful and ...read more

    Rom. 15:7-17 shows us several actions that are appropriate and should be expected from the people of God. Sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is accept one another and overlook perceived faults.

    The Spirituality of Mutuality Romans 15:7-17 Intro: Mutuality speaks of a reciprocal relationship between two or more people. It speaks of shared interests, values, and common goals.

    How we respond to the true meaning and significance of Christmas is – as we'll see this morning – a choice between choosing the blessings of a Holy and Loving God committed to honor His rules and expectations; OR choosing instead a life under the auspices

     | 11,197 views

    Psalm 1 sets forth the character and lifestyle of a righteous person. This “good man” described here does not “freewheel”; that is, he has some rules, some standards by which he lives. He doesn’t take his cues from what those about him are doing.
