    Enduring The Night, Embracing The Morning

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on May 13, 2025
     | 697 views

     | 743 views

    In a world filled with darkness—war, injustice, loneliness, and despair—the light of Christ is desperately needed. Christmas is not just a celebration of His birth but a reminder of our mission to carry His light into every corner of the world.

Yet, these lights are mere reflections of the true Light of Christmas: Jesus Christ. In John 8:12, Jesus declared, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will ...read more

    Its not WHAT I believe in, it is WHO I place my faith in. WHO I place my faith in is stronger, for Jesus is able to overcome what I am not able to overcome.

What we believe molds us into who we are; What we believe colors our view of the world around us; What we believe motivates us to stand up for something or stand up against something.
