     | 15,706 views

    Faith counts on something being true even when it doesn’t appear to be so. “Faith is the reality of what is hoped for, the proof of what is not seen.” There is the physical world and there is the spiritual world.

    April 23 Where is Your Faith? Luke 8:22-25 A couple of insights about faith Faith counts on something being true even when it doesn’t appear to be so. Hebrews 11:1 Everyone has faith. The question of faith: Where is your faith in the ordinary routines of life? v.22 If faith ...read more

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jun 27, 2025
     | 356 views

    To walk in true discipleship, we must be clear about what Christianity is not. This study helps us examine and avoid the false assumptions and appearances that can deceive both ourselves and others.

    WHO A CHRISTIAN IS NOT? By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Matthew 7:21-23 Supporting Texts: Titus 1:16, 2 Timothy 3:5, James 2:19-20, Matthew 15:8, 1 John 2:4-6 INTRODUCTION: In a world where the term “Christian” is loosely used, there is a great need to define not only who a Christian is—but ...read more

    The Ascension Of Jesus Christ

    Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on May 19, 2019
     | 4,879 views

    The ascension of Jesus forcefully wrapped up his post-resurrection appearances to the disciples and many hundreds more. It made it glaringly obvious that Jesus came from God, is God, and was returning to God.

    Melchizedek appears only briefly in Genesis but plays a critical role in the story of faith. In Melchizedek, we see a symbol of Jesus Christ, who is our ultimate King and eternal High Priest.

    Transformed by Truth: A King and Priest Forever Genesis 14:18-20 (NLT): “And Melchizedek, the king of Salem and a priest of God Most High, brought Abram some bread and wine.

     | 293 views

    Today’s text is about the angel Gabriel visiting Mary, greeting her, and foretelling the birth of Christ. The angel Gabriel appeared to Mary and announced God's grace to her.

    I. Greetings from the Angel Gabriel (vv. 26-30) In the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth (v. 26).

    Have you ever found yourself trying to get people’s approval? I’m sure we have all been in this position but sometimes we can go a little overboard with it-even be obsessed with it. Let’s see why this is a problem and what we can do to overcome it.

    John the Baptist was the forerunner of the Messiah appearing at the River Jordan where crowds gathered to hear the Voice of the Prophet announcing Jesus as the Lamb of God and the Voice of God confirming him as his beloved Son

    VOICES BY THE RIVER JORDAN Quite frequently we read in the papers of sightings of unidentified flying objects - UFOs. Quite probably they don’t exist, but just suppose they did. What would those people from outer space make of planet Earth? Well, for sure, they would think it was very noisy. ...read more

    At times it appears that a LOT of things are against us. We may have enemies, and often we’re our own enemy; but since God is on our side, nothing can defeat us.

    We are a people who have been guilty of looking for the anointing on the outside, but outward appearances can deceive. The Pharisees were great preachers, and keepers of the law, but they looked at Jesus and called Him “Beelzebub.”

    The Kingdom Within! Text: Romans 14: 17-18 (What I’m speaking about this morning, the devil doesn’t want you to ever grasp because he understands that if you do, he will loss his grip on your life.) 17 for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and ...read more

    based on 14 ratings
     | 8,563 views

    A carefully crafted, unashamedly Biblical and necessary message on the importance of the principle of modesty as applied to the choices we as Christians make regarding our appearance and the message it communicates about both ourselves and our Lord.

    Modesty For His Majesty Perth Bible Church Sunday AM October 28, 2007 Rev. Todd G. Leupold PREAMBLE: As you can see, I’m taking a little different approach this morning.

    This morning our focus in on one last appearance, though this one took place after the Ascension, as Jesus radically redirects a rebel named Paul (also known as Saul – his Hebrew name).

    Today we’re wrapping up our series called, “Beyond the Tomb,” during which we’ve studied the various appearances Jesus made between His Resurrection and His ascension into Heaven.

    The Roles Of Women In The Church Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on May 20, 2005
    based on 104 ratings
     | 17,699 views

    This is among the most controversial sections in the Bible. Paul appears on the surface to be against women, but if you look at the context there is much more here - and more important issues than how we dress and act.

    There is no doubt that 1 Timothy 2 is among the most controversial passages of Paul’s writings. In this chapter it appears as if Paul calls men to pray and women to shut up - while dressed in sackcloth and ashes - staying home barefoot and pregnant. Although it is short - only 15 verses - it is ...read more

     | 18,770 views

    As the light shines, the hostile opposition to it, & thus to Jesus the light bearer, grows. It was now dangerous for Jesus to appear at the Feast of Tabernacles. Despite the danger Jesus follows His appointed path but with wisdom.

    JOHN 7: 1-13 [The 5th Discourse] THE COURAGEOUS CHRIST [Leviticus 23: 33ff] John chapter 7 conveys the reactions of the world to the revelation of Jesus Christ. Again and again throughout this Gospel John has emphasized the difficulty and ...read more
