    Belonging To A Spiritual Family

    Contributed by Mark Opperman on Dec 5, 2012
    based on 1 rating
     | 21,973 views

    Just like a natural family with parents, children, and siblings, the church family is God’s idea. God knew that people would need help along the way as they struggle against an unseen enemy. It is a privilege and a blessing to belong to a spiritual family

    Belonging to a Spiritual Family 1 Thessalonians 3:1-5 Intro: There are many organizations or groups you could be a part of these days, but I believe none is more meaningful to your life and spiritual health than belonging to and being part of a spiritual family.

    Job faced struggles and pain in life that most will never encounter, at least in that magnitude. No doubt, he had more questions than answers. However, in the midst of his uncertainty, there were e few things of significance that Job knew without doubt.

    I know my Redeemer Lives Job 19: 25-27 Job is an interesting and somewhat mysterious character in the Bible. While most Bible readers are familiar with Job and the great trials he faced in life, little is known about his background. He is believed to have lived around the time of Abraham, with the ...read more

     | 4,357 views

    Life is often a matter of focus? As we follow Christ, we can focus on the struggles and persecution we might endure. Or we can focus on the benefits, eternal and glorious, of continuing to follow Christ. Hebrews 2 encourages us to do the latter.

    The Cost of Abandoning Christ Hebrews 2:5-14 A few years ago we had what we called a water bottle outreach at Lazy 5 Recreational Area. It was during one of the music festivals they used to have there, before Covid, on weekday summer evenings. We would hand out water bottles and invitations to ...read more

    Character Study Of Miriam Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Mar 22, 2025
     | 807 views

    Miriam was a woman of great faith, leadership, and influence. However, her struggle with pride and jealousy serves as a warning for all believers. Her life teaches us to use our gifts for God’s glory, remain humble, and respect divine authority.

    CHARACTER STUDY OF MIRIAM – SISTER OF MOSES, PROPHETESS By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Exodus 15:20-21 "And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,166 views

    As believers in Jesus Christ, one thing we all struggle with from time to time is knowing God’s will. In fact, as a pastor, it is probably one of the primary questions people ask. “How can I know God’s will in this matter?

    “The Mystery of Finding God’s Will” Ephesians 3:1-20 As believers in Jesus Christ, one thing we all struggle with from time to time is knowing God’s will.

    When we look at so many families today, rather than say, "Man, they're really blessed," more often, we say, "Wow, they're really struggling."

     | 7,021 views

    Life circumstances may not be ideal where we are. We may be struggling. Perhaps we feel that we could serve the Lord more effectively in a better situation or different location. But God wants us to bloom where we are planted!

    James Oppenheim said, “The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance, the wise grows it under his feet,”(1) and this is what the Lord wants every believer to understand. We’re supposed to find fulfillment and contentment right where God’s placed us, and to bloom where we’re planted. An ...read more

    If you are going to repent and believe you have to understand you are entering into a struggle, a battle, an all-out war within, and you’ll have to fight that war every day of your life. Yet in this war, God has promised the victory.

    Revelation CHAPTER 16 TRANSLATION 1. And I heard a huge voice from the temple, saying to the seven angels, “Go! And pour out the seven bowls of the wrath of God into the earth. 2.

     | 2,818 views

    Guidance can be difficult and we may struggle with it. God often send to us the man with a pitcher. We don't have much of a picture of what lies ahead, but the Lord is there. Just take note of the man with a pitcher.

    THE MAN WITH THE PITCHER, NOT THE PICTURE, JUST THE PITCHER [1]. THE MESSAGE FROM PILGRIM’S PROGRESS Who has read Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan? I love that book. Many decades ago, and all through the 1800s etc., nearly everyone read Pilgrim’s Progress, even non-Christians. Sometimes in ...read more

     | 661 views

    As we journey through life, we inevitably encounter moments of pain, heartbreak, and struggles. Yet, what if these experiences, far from being signs of God's absence, are actually evidence of His deep presence and transformative power, that can lead us to a brighter future.

    SCRIPTURAL REFERENCES (1 Peter 4:12-13) [12] Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: [13] But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's ...read more

    I Am With You When You Are All Alone Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jul 26, 2020
     | 5,852 views

    The Bible is filled with the stories of flesh and blood people … frail human beings with ordinary human needs who face all of the same kinds of struggles and challenges that we face … which is why we can not only relate to Paul’s discouragement but can learn from his courage as well.

    I want to start out by reading an anonymous poem called “Friendship”: Friendship is a priceless gift that cannot be bought or sold But its value is far greater than a mountain of gold For gold is cold and lifeless It can neither see nor hear And in times of trouble it is powerless to cheer It has ...read more

    Lessons For Modern-Day Sowers Of The Word

    based on 15 ratings
     | 10,646 views

    Most messages on this parable discuss it from the standpoint of the four soils. I want to look at it in terms of what it teaches us about doing ministry today. I find at least eight principles that both challenge and encourage us.

    Lessons for Modern-Day Sowers of the Word Matthew 13:1-9; 18-23 The last few days I have been meditating on the famous parable of the seed and the sower. It is obviously important because is found in three different places in the gospels (with Jesus’ explanation in parenthesis): Matthew 13:3-9 ...read more

    Too Wide To Hide

     | 7,553 views

    Preached in a church of another denomination for Christian Unity Sunday and Martin Luther King Sunday: we tend to hide our own history and to conceal our witness. But God calls us into a wider ministry.

    I’m not sure how it is among Methodists, but we Baptist folks have a strange custom of hiding when we come to church. We hide. We try to get in and get out without being noticed. I don’t know whether Methodists are infected with this disease, but with Baptists it is an epidemic. We hide. ...read more

    A marathon, for most runners, seems long, but it is always 26.2 miles. Always. Except for the Lakeshore Marathon held in Chicago on Memorial Day weekend 20 years ago (2005).
