    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on May 30, 2025
     | 661 views

    When a door is closed in your face, God is already fashioning another way, often greater than what you initially hoped for. He is the Master of breakthroughs and the God who opens doors that no man can shut.

Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Revelation 3:7-8 Supporting Texts: Isaiah 43:18-19, 1 Corinthians 10:13, Acts 16:6-10, Romans 8:28 INTRODUCTION: Life is filled with moments when it seems like every door of opportunity, progress, or blessing has been ...read more

    Knocking On Heaven's Door (Psalm 122)

    Contributed by James Jackson on Aug 10, 2025
     | 447 views

    Three things give us confidence to knock on Heaven's Door: We've been invited, Someone's home, and we desperately want what's inside.

    For a lot of people, there are few things more intimidating than knocking on a door. Think of the tension: at the closed door of your boss’s office. The front door of your prom date’s house. The front door of a neighbor’s house when you have girl scout cookies to sell. Knocking on a door can ...read more

     | 6,191 views

    Just like Thomas, our doubt can show how close we are to God; we can be transformed by Jesus in our doubt.

    INTRODUCTION • Today we will conclude our four-week series concerning the issue of dealing with doubt. • We have covered the fact that we can go through seasons of doubt; and that our expectations can lead to doubt. • Last week we examined how we can struggle to believe because what we see in ...read more

    God loves us so much that he gives us a doorway of hope. What kind of hope is that, and where do we find it?

    In Europe, there’s something called “Lock Bridges”. They are bridges where young lovers will take padlocks, engrave their initials or messages on them, and then lock them onto a bridge in the city, throwing the keys in the river. There are 20 “Lock Bridges” all across the world, and in 2015 there ...read more

    Sometimes our disappointments in life can become God’s appointments, so don’t let closed doors bother you. The things we think of as failures and problems can often end up being blessings in disguise.

    INTRODUCTION It seems doors of opportunity open and close before us in life. Is it God opening and closing these doors? For many years I’ve heard the saying, “When God shuts one door, He opens another!” Well, no, those exact words are not found in the Bible anywhere. However, of all the phrases ...read more

    This is a sermon that focuses on our life just one week after Easter. It follows the central character of Thomas as our representative in that room, one week after Easter.

    Isaiah 53:10-12 Yet it was the Lord’s will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and though the Lord makes his life an offering for sin, he will see his offspring and prolong his days, and the will of the Lord will prosper in his hand. After he has suffered, he will see the light of life and be ...read more

    Jesus' Easter evening appearance to the disciples launched their ministry after Jesus breathed the Holy Spirit into them.

    Deep Breathing John 20:19-23 So, here it is, the evening of the first Easter Sunday. What an insane week for the disciples. No wonder they were hiding behind locked doors.

    Behind the scenes, the picture is not pretty, the first church, on the first Easter Sunday was not celebrating, they were scared spitless, do you identify with that?

    Behind the scenes of the first Easter Sunday Here we are the Sunday after Easter Sunday. What should we do as Christian believers? The fact is Christ is raised from the dead. But I wonder has the message of Easter gotten thru? I wonder if this message is really truly applied by believers? Have we ...read more

    The remission or retaining of sins is declarative, and belongs to the task of preaching the gospel.

    BREATHE ON ME BREATH OF GOD. John 20:19-23. It was the evening of the first day of the week: the day of the resurrection; the first day of the new creation.

    When we are baptized with the water we are also baptized with the Holy Spirit and, as a result, receive a full measure of the same grace and love Jesus received when He showed us the way with His baptism.

    Watergrave Do any of you remember your baptism? I remember mine. You see, I can remember mine because I was 17 at the time. I was baptized and brought into membership in a Baptist church. Now, it wasn’t because I was a Baptist that I was older when I had this experience of ...read more

    Thomas heard of the resurrection second-hand and had to have a personal encounter with Jesus before he came to faith.

    DOUBTING THOMAS ENCOUNTERS THE RISEN LORD The first Easter Sunday morning was a time of indescribable joy - Jesus had risen from the dead. Friday was the day of the funeral, but Sunday turned it into a festival! It was almost too good to be true. The disciples could hardly take it in. One ...read more
