    Giving In Honour Of The Lordship Of Christ

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Apr 8, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 238 views

    When we give in honour of the Lordship of Christ, it is not a loss—it is a gain. Giving reflects our faith, our heart, and our recognition of God's sovereignty.

Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Proverbs 3:9-10 "Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine."

     | 5,184 views

    Loss is something we all face. How do we put away loss and take courage in Christ? Let’s look at what God’s word directs in light of this.

    Let’s Put Away Our LossAnd take Courage in Christ The Prussian king Frederick the Great was widely known as an agnostic.

     | 12,781 views

    Prior to salvation, Paul lived a life of prestige, authority, and power. Following salvation, he learned much he once considered gain was actually loss. As he grew in grace, he realized the abundance available in Christ. He lost much, yet he gained more.

    Growing in Grace Philippians 3: 7-11 Our text today is actually a continuation of the verses we considered in our last study. In order to fully understand what Paul has taught in our text, we must look at this passage in light of its context. Previously Paul had counseled believers regarding their ...read more

    We deplore the loss of morality, the loss of civility, the loss of social stability - and yet how many of us recognize that those are only the deeper symptoms of a greater loss, the loss of our sense of accountability before God?

    Death is a great loss to a carnal, worldly man, for he loses all his earthly comforts and all his hopes; but to a true believer it is gain, for it is the end of all his weakness and misery.

    Jesus’ job is not to make things easy for us. It is to save us from sin and death, not from suffering and life. Life includes suffering.

     | 4,024 views

    The loss of a young child or infant is one of the most difficult experiences for any family to process. This funeral sermon is meant to communicate the inherent beauty and worth of even the most fleeting of lives.

    Words alone cannot comfort a grieving heart, because words cannot replace the ones we love. Even the most beautiful words are little things, here for only a moment, fleeting and often unnoticed. We live in a world filled with words, some shouted from rooftops and some whispered in a quiet room, yet ...read more
