    The danger of doing business as usual is that you will miss your mission, that you will miss your miracle, and you will miss the Master.

    Jonah Paid The Price Series

    Contributed by Dr. Amen Howard on Aug 12, 2013
     | 5,671 views

    God had instructed Jonah, God had spoken to Jonah, I believe to go to a certain place to preach the gospel, but the bible say’s that Jonah turned to a different direction in order to disobey or runaway from God.

    I believe he hadn’t read the scripture written by David, it says: even if I make my bed in Hell, thou are there “AMEN”. I have come to realize in life that no one can hide from God, if God doesn’t speak to you now, it doesn’t mean that you have succeeded in hiding ...read more

    Sermon # 24 - God Gives Many Chances Series

     | 896 views

    Though Jonah disobeyed and ran from God, the Lord gave him a second chance. No one is too bad or too far gone to return back to the loving Lord who alone can change and transform a sinner into a saint, and use such a one to fulfill His mighty purposes.

    We read in Jonah 3:1, “Then the word of the LORD came to Jonah the second time, saying,” (ESV) God had called Jonah to accomplish a huge task. Jonah chose to disobey, and undertook a voyage which the Lord disrupted by sending a mighty tempest. As the ship was tossed about in the midst of the ...read more

    Seize The Moment Series

     | 20,425 views

    If we fail to seize our God-given moment, we can lose opportunities to be successful, opportunities to witness, and opportunities for salvation.

    Seize the Moment YOLO Part 3 Luke 9:59-62 We are currently going through the message series: YOLO. “You only live once.” It is true that we only live once. However, what does this imply? The Bible is very clear on this. We only live once, therefore, we must live our one and only life ...read more

    God’s call has always been a person’s supreme opportunity. It was so with Abraham, Moses, and the prophets, and with all of the disciples and Paul.

    God’s Call Is Life’s Greatest Opportunity Text: “And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men” (Matt. 4:19). Scripture Reading: Matthew 4:18 – 23 10 Introduction God’s call has always been a person’s supreme opportunity. ...read more

    In a world of greed and materialism it’s difficult for us to accept "no" from God. But sometimes God says no.

    I made a statement last week in the message that I want to repeat this morning … “Sometimes, God says no.” And what I want to do this morning is give us a couple of the many examples of God saying no. Moses’… It was Moses hearts’ desire to go into the Promised Land but because he didn’t follow ...read more

    Be Ready To Receive Help Series

    Jesus received people according to how they were convicted to serve Him. However, we as human beings often miss the bigger picture, and forfeit opportunities to assist people in being used by God to further the kingdom.

    I want to begin by sharing something from the apostle Paul. Paul, in speaking about what a person should give to the church in the way of monetary offerings; he once stated, “For if there is first a willing mind, it is accepted according to what one has, and not according to what he does not have” ...read more

    Spiritual laziness is a state of neglect in our spiritual lives, where we become complacent, apathetic, or disengaged from our pursuit of God. It can lead to stagnation, missed opportunities, and a lack of growth in our faith.

    Title: OVERCOMING SPIRITUAL LAZINESS By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Proverbs 6:9-11 "How long will you lie there, you sluggard? When will you get up from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest—and poverty will come on you like a thief and ...read more

    There grows a tendency to lazy idleness in the church and in the families today. Apathy will destroy any spiritual grow. The harvest is before us... what role do you have? That's the preacher's job?

THERE STANDS BEFORE US A GREAT HARVEST… By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com Luke 10:2 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his ...read more
