    Holiness In Our Wills Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jan 28, 2025
     | 370 views

    Our will is a powerful part of our being. It determines the choices we make, the paths we take, and ultimately, the direction of our lives. Holiness in our will means surrendering our desires, plans, and ambitions to God’s perfect will.

    Title: HOLINESS IN OUR WILLS By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Romans 12:2 "And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God." Supporting Texts: Ephesians 5:17 1 ...read more

    Have you ever tried to put together a jigsaw puzzle without the picture on the box? That’s what life often feels like. We see pieces, scattered moments, events, and emotions—some bright and beautiful, others dark and painful—and we wonder how they fit together.

And Trust What You Cannot Yet See Opening Prayer: Heavenly Father, We thank You that we are not left to wander in darkness, for You have given us Your Word, Your Spirit, and Your Son, Jesus Christ. Today, help us to see—not just with physical eyes, but with eyes of faith. Teach us to trust in ...read more

    This sermon attempts to address some of the divide in our church over worship music by recognizing the focus is not on our preference but on God.

Whenever people are involved there are ...read more
