    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on May 14, 2025
     | 761 views

    Heaven is real, glorious, and eternal—but only those who are prepared will enter it. Jesus paid the price and made the way. The invitation is extended to all, but the response must be personal and intentional.

Samuel Arimoro Main Text: John 14:1-3 Supporting Texts: Revelation 21:1-4, Matthew 25:34, Philippians 3:20-21, 1 Corinthians 2:9, Hebrews 11:13-16 INTRODUCTION: The Bible speaks of heaven as a glorious, eternal destination for those who have ...read more

    Set Free From Shame Premium Sermon

    Contributed by PRO Premium on Oct 9, 2023
    based on 3 ratings
     | 867 views

    The sermon explores the transformative encounter of the Samaritan woman with Jesus, illustrating God's intent to save rather than condemn, and the possibility of turning guilt and shame into healing and belonging through God's grace.

    The story of the Samaritan woman perfectly illustrates how God sent Jesus not to condemn the world but to save the world through him. Jesus humbles himself, engages the woman in conversation, and sets her free from shame and guilt. She arrives at the well as a sinner, but leaves as a saint. ...read more

    When Worship Becomes Empty Words PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 92 views

    The sermon urges us to approach God with reverence, listen before speaking, and honor our promises, trusting that God shapes the world through prayerful hearts.

    There’s a hush that falls on the heart when we remember who God is. The ancient preacher of Ecclesiastes takes us by the hand and leads us into that hush. He knows about rushed mornings and restless nights. He knows about hurried hands and harried hearts. And he whispers a needed word to weary ...read more

    Seeing And Hearing Again

    Contributed by Wayne Cordeiro on May 16, 2013
     | 6,721 views

    The Bible says our hearts, like that of the Pharisees, can get calloused against God. It is not intentional, but our hearts get dull. We have to recondition them and reopen our eyes to see Him afresh.

    Eyes to See The Pharisees were trained and schooled to recognize God, to hear His voice and to know what God was saying. They looked for something that was so obviously close, but never saw Him. When He actually came on that Christmas, they did not even recognize Him. In fact, even when He spoke, ...read more

    This sermon will explore Jesus' courageous entry into Jerusalem, his authority over all things, and challenge listeners to consider if they have given him authority over their lives.

    Main idea: Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey knowing full well he would trigger the religious and political authorities. Jesus’ mission required him to demonstrate incredible courage regardless of the reactions of others. He is Lord, the absolute authority over all things. The question is, does ...read more

    God Values Humility Youth Sermon

    Contributed by Youth Sermons on Sep 5, 2023
    based on 4 ratings
     | 810 views

    God values humility and is drawn to those who earnestly offer themselves to Him. We must practice honest self-talk, intentional self-awareness, and adopt an "Us for Them" mindset to embrace humility in our lives.

    Today, we're going to talk about something that Jesus taught – humility. But first, let me show you something. (Bring out a deflated balloon and a fully inflated balloon) See these balloons? One is full of air, and the other is empty. Keep these in mind as we go through our message today. So, Jesus ...read more

    The intent of my message is not to elevate the story of Mary to the point of glorifying her in any way. We try not to glorify people around here much. Mary was highly favored , not highly exalted. We are here to glorify Jesus.

    MARY - WOMAN OF GRACE We have begun our holiday season. Thanksgiving through Christmas is a time when we get with family and friends to celebrate the joy of the holidays. During this time we are more conscious of the more meaningful things in life. This is the time when we are more thankful of ...read more

    “Here Comes the Judge” Revelation 20:1-15 It’s interesting that there has been such an increase of shows on television that involve the court room. These shows really are all about the judge.
