     | 3,412 views

    You’ll never understand God if you ONLY approach Him as your King, your Shepherd, or even your Father. You must also see Him as your Husband before you can understand how intimate your relationship with God truly is.

     | 600 views

    God desires honour, reverence, and holy conduct, especially in His house. How we treat His house reflects our attitude toward His presence. It is important that we examine ourselves and return to a posture of godly fear, humility, and honour when approaching the things of God.

Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Malachi 1:6-14 Supporting Texts: Ecclesiastes 5:1-2, Leviticus 19:30, Matthew 21:12-13, Hebrews 12:28-29, 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 INTRODUCTION: The house of God is not just a building—it is a sacred space where God meets ...read more

     | 718 views

    Today like ministers across this great nation I want to preach a sermon about Christmas. But in this Christmas sermon I feel led to take a different approach from most sermons that are being preached today. Today I want to preach about THE FORGOTTEN MAN OF CHRISTMAS!!!

    Text: Introduction: • Generally, Mary the mother of Jesus is the focus of attention normally in a Christmas sermon. • But there is another individual that is equally important in the Christmas story, and I want to focus on JOSEPH, THE EARTHLY FATHER OF OUR LORD JESUS.

    We put faith in action when we approach life with a right attitude about God’s will, life and work. The other truth I see in our texts today is where we live matters to God too and all this seems rooted in our attitude with God.

     | 5,314 views

    When you appear before a holy God, you would no more approach Him than you would walk into shark-infested waters. When God appears in front of you and you tremble in awestruck fear, it is a wise thing to call for a mediator to stand between you and He.

    Today we begin a new series entitled simply, The Ten Commandments. Today’s Scripture And God spoke all these words, saying, 2 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. 3 “You shall have no other gods before me. 4 “You shall not make for ...read more

    Because Jesus became human and lived among us, He can understand us. And because Jesus was fully divine, He has the power to help us. When we approach God looking for help, we can know that He understands us and will patiently help us.
