    Ohana Means Family And Family Means Nobody Gets Left Behind Series

    Contributed by Fr Mund Cargill Thompson on Apr 10, 2015
    based on 2 ratings
     | 9,060 views

    Jesus didn't just come back for "doubting Thomas" - first he came back for the other "doubting ten" when they did not believe Mary Magadalene. Jesus, the non anxious presence, doesn't leave anyone behind.

    “The doors were locked for fear of the Jews” Bolt it. Double lock it. Put the chain on. Fasten the padlock. “The doors were locked for fear of the Jews” Let me share with you two stories that happened within two years of each other in the second decade of the Twentieth ...read more

    When Faith Meets Anointing.

     | 2,034 views

    Several folks were challenged, and changed by this Word! All believers are positionally overcomers but when we obey we are experiential overcomers and this is why His commands are not burdensome.

    When Faith Meets Anointing. I John 5:4 1 John 5:4KJV For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Always pause to ponder "What is the writer explaining?" John has just spoken of God's commandments as not ...read more

    The God Who Renders The Enemy Powerless Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Aug 7, 2025
     | 372 views

    The God we serve is not only mighty—He is undefeated and undefeatable. From Genesis to Revelation, the testimony of Scripture is clear: every enemy of God’s people ultimately falls.

    THE GOD WHO RENDERS THE ENEMY POWERLESS By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Colossians 2:13-15 (KJV) "And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that ...read more

    Peculiar People Day Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 17, 2016
    based on 15 ratings
     | 30,485 views

    The KJV uses the word "peculiar" 7 times - but it didn't mean "odd" or "bizarre" - it meant a treasured "possession". But what does that mean to us and how should that effect our daily lives as Christians?

    (I opened by reading Titus 2:11-14 from the KJV) OPEN: Last Sunday (January 10th) was “Peculiar People Day”. Nobody knows who came up with the idea of making that a special day (somebody thinks it might have been the greeting card companies) but the whole idea of this Peculiar People ...read more

    The Devil's Playbook

    based on 19 ratings
     | 5,251 views

    Getting to know the Devil’s playbook is how we can overcome his advances.

    The first spoken words recorded in the Bible are those of God as he spoke the universe into existence, gave it order, and illuminated it with the presence of his holy glory. God said, “Let there be light.” With these words we see the nature of God revealed in beauty and in clarity. We see his ...read more

    What's Love Got To Do With It? (Part Five) Series

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Oct 25, 2016
     | 7,550 views

    Last week I shared about what love had to do with overcoming fear. Today my focus will be on what love has to do with overcoming unforgiveness. We've all struggled with this one. Overcoming being hurt by someone can be difficult. Forgiveness takes love.

    WHAT’S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT? (Part five) INTRODUCTION: Last week I shared about what love had to do with overcoming fear. We looked at 1st John 4:18 that states perfect love drives out fear. Today my focus will be on what love has to do with overcoming unforgiveness. Let’s face it-we ...read more

    Defeating Depression Part 1 Series

    Contributed by Mark Elkins on Mar 13, 2003
    based on 48 ratings
     | 4,474 views

    Depression is not a spirit of God. Therefore it can be overcome! The first step in overcoming depression is identifying it in our lives. Can you say, "No more cave dwelling for me!"?

    “Depression is anger turned inward” (Marilyn Appelbaum). Children become depressed when the have unresolved anger in their lives. They have to develop the skills to deal with anger in a healthy way. Let me give you an example. Susie came home from school dirty. Mom and Dad had a hard day at ...read more

    What's In A Name

    Contributed by Horace Wimpey on Oct 4, 2014
     | 6,743 views

    There are many names that Christians are known by. John tells us that we are overcomers and we can see how to recognize an overcomer through what John writes to us.

    What’s In A Name 1 John 5:1-5 (KJV) Intro: How do we identify people? I don’t know about you but the first thing I ask and want to know from a person is their name. Granted I may not remember what you tell me but that is a problem that I deal with. Your name though, is how I and the ...read more

    Gideon answered the call of God and learnt to overcome discouragement, doubt and obstacles to accomplish the purpose of God.

    What does it take to do the work God has called us to do and finish it? Take a look at Gideon. He was called by God for a special purpose at a special time. • God heard the cries of the people, and He wanted to save them from their enemies. He needs a man to do the job. • Gideon needs to ...read more

     | 40,969 views

    Billy Sunday observed "If there’s no joy in your religion, you’ve got a leak in your faith." In a world that is often discouraging and frustrating, how can a Christian keep the Joy of the Lord as their strength?

    OPEN: In 1937 architect Frank Lloyd Wright built a house for industrialist Hibbard Johnson. One rainy evening Johnson was entertaining distinguished guests for dinner when the roof began to leak. The water seeped through directly above Johnson himself, dripping steadily onto his bald head. ...read more

     | 5,858 views

    If you want to be a world-changer in times of adversity, don't let anything keep you from Christ. Instead, trust Him with your life and let Him change you and use you to change the world.

    Whether or not the Kansas City Chiefs advance to the Super Bowl, the game is worth watching if only for its humorous and inventive commercials. Three years ago (2011) Chevrolet put on a commercial which featured a Silverado pick-up truck, acting like a modern-day Lassie. It repeatedly rescued a ...read more

    Celebration in heaven, Satan and his demonic forces defeated and expelled from heaven

    The Revelation of Jesus Christ is most often viewed as the "heaviest" of the books of the Bible, and for the most part it is a title that is deserved. We see the rise of Antichrist, Satan thrown to earth, demons released from the abyss and the death of millions if not billions of people globally. ...read more
