    The Need To Be Filled With The Holy Spirit

     | 8,407 views

    The Holy Spirit isn't just an "add on" to our lives, He is a necessity. He transforms believers to "Christians" - little anointed ones! Just as we spend time occupied in relationships with others, work, or tasks, we need even more to be "occupied" by Him.

    The Need To Be Filled With The Holy Spirit Acts 2:1-4 When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.3 Then there appeared to them ...read more

    “He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver." 2 Cor. 9: 6-7

    Jesus Is Stronger

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Jan 25, 2021
     | 4,639 views

    The story of Jesus casting out a demon in Luke 11 teaches us that Jesus has the power to release us from the power of Satan and indeed from everything that enslaves us. The story also shows us how Jesus deals with reproach and the necessity of positively choosing Jesus.

    INTRODUCTION We are continuing our series in Luke. Today, we have the story of Jesus casting out a demon. I suspect that this story might not be the first choice of many preachers. Casting out demons probably seems very alien to many of us. But this story appears in Matthew, Mark and Luke and ...read more

     | 3,010 views

    The case that Peter presented to Jesus was of a brother who sinned against him. Peter knew that forgiveness was a necessity, but he wanted to know as to what was the upper limit one should set for forgiving someone else. To Peter, forgiving someone seven times seemed reasonable enough. Is it so?

     | 1,575 views

    In a world that often tells us to rely on our own strength, our own abilities, our own wisdom, we come to a powerful reminder from Scripture: true success in God's kingdom is not by our power, not by our might, but by the Spirit of the Lord.

    Character Study Of Jonah Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Mar 23, 2025
     | 662 views

    Jonah’s story is a powerful example of God’s mercy, human weakness, and the necessity of obedience. His journey from rebellion to reluctant obedience and his struggle with God’s grace teach us that God’s will must be done, and His mercy extends to all who repent.

    CHARACTER STUDY OF JONAH – PROPHET SENT TO NINEVEH By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Jonah 1:1-2 "Now the word of the Lord came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me." Supporting ...read more

    The Holy Spirit is not a luxury, but a necessity! Without Him we could not pray, could not understand truth, we'd have no comfort, we couldn't be purified from sin. By Him we're born again & He's our Guide!

    In Acts 20, when Paul gives his farewell address to the Ephesian elders, we really see his heart as a pastor. What was driving him? Being aware of the necessity of being God’s "watchman." How did he accomplish this? "For I have not shunned to declare unto

    Christ The Coming King

    Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Dec 28, 2015
     | 6,199 views

    In Revelation 1:7-8 John presents five truths about His second coming and answers these questions in considering its 1) Necessity (Revelation 1:7a), 2) Glory (Revelation 1:7b), 3) Scope, Response (Revelation 1:7c), and 4) Certainty (Revelation 1:8).

    As the end of the year approaches, it is natural to consider what comes next. We spend so much time considering the birth of Christ. But for every time the Bible mentions the first coming of Christ, it mentions the second coming 8 times. Despite the scoffers who deny the Second Coming (2 Pet. ...read more
