     | 16,301 views

    Temptation is the enticement of our natural, God-given desires to go beyond God-given bounds. We can blame our failure to resist temptation on others, Satan, or God Himself, but in reality, we are the ones who choose to indulge.

    ENDURING TEMPTATION AND OVERCOMING SIN Study Text: James 1: 12 – 16 Introduction: - One of the greatest challenges of living the Christian life is dealing with temptations. This is especially true for new Christians: For it can be frustrating to know that your sins have been forgiven, only to ...read more

    Life is filled with transitions—some welcomed, some unexpected. We can become so fixated on past experiences, whether victories or failures, that we struggle to move forward. But God calls us to embrace the new thing He is doing.

    Go! And Embrace the New Thing! - Isaiah 43:18-19 Isaiah 43:18-19 (NLT)"But forget all that—it is nothing compared to what I am going to do. For I am about to do something new.

     | 765 views

    Failure does not define a believer’s destiny when grace is available. Peter had denied Jesus three times, but that was not the end of his calling. After the resurrection, Jesus went out of His way to find Peter and restore him.

    JESUS REINSTATES PETER By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: “So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these?

    God asks a series of rhetorical questions designed to get the people facing the sad fact that despite being called by God they were no better than the nations around them. In fact, because they refused to bear proper fruit they were worthless to God.

    VERSES 1-5: Israel as a Vine Ezekiel was not the first prophet to refer to Israel as a vine. We see this in the song of the vineyard that is found in Isaiah 5.

    Departing from the faith is a spiritual tragedy with severe consequences. It is not only a warning for unbelievers but also for those in the church who are slowly drifting away due to deception, worldliness, and spiritual complacency.

    When you see Nicodemus before you, it is difficult to imagine a person more qualified to be a good human being. Yet, he was a moral and spiritual failure. The Bible wants you to be asking yourself this question, “If Nicodemus’ faith enough?” If I have the faith of Nicodemus, is that enough?
