    Nebuchadnezzar's Testimony Meeting

    Contributed by David Wilson on Sep 16, 2015
     | 7,627 views

    Nebuchadnezzar has a powerful encounter with God and responds with praise! One of the reasons our testimony meetings in churches are so blah is because our people are not encountering God as they should be!

    Nebuchadnezzar’s Testimony Daniel 4 GOD IS IN CHARGE AND HOLDS AUTHORITY OVER ALL! When we speak of the sovereignty of God we should be humbled—remembering that He is in charge and we are not. Speaking of the sovereignty of God can bring great confusion, for if God is really in charge ...read more

    Dealing with life's injustices in a broken world...yet trusting the One who will make things right, because in Christ He has experienced injustice.

    Life is frequently unfair. Bad things happen to good people. Brutality and injustice are all around us. And we scratch our heads and wonder “Why?” God’s purpose is beyond us; His ways are above our ways. He causes all things to work together for good, but not all things are ...read more

    Is this really about the unjust judge?

    The Parable of the Unjust Judge Luke 18:1-8 Parables are useful stories in that they present simple points. In the case of this parable, one can see the value of persistence.

     | 1,334 views

    David, an anonymous shepherd boy living in the hills of Judea, was the person whom God would raise up to be Israel's greatest king, the author of numerous psalms, and be referred to as "a man after God's own heart".

    Three thousand years ago, the LORD God chose a young man by the name of David to be the king of Israel. Out of all the sons of Jesse, God's favor came to rest on David. He was the youngest son of Jesse, a poor farmer from the tiny hamlet of Bethlehem. David, on the surface, was a nobody ...read more

    Character Study Of Manasseh Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Mar 24, 2025
     | 530 views

    Manasseh's life is a story of rebellion, judgment, and restoration. He was one of the most wicked kings of Judah, yet when he truly repented, God forgave and restored him. His life reminds us that no one is too sinful to be redeemed, and that God’s mercy is greater than our failures.

Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 2 Chronicles 33:12-13 "And when he was in affliction, he besought the Lord his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers, and prayed unto Him: and He was intreated of him, and ...read more

    In Jeremiah 29, God, through Jeremiah promises blessing to the people in exile, a promise that often is misunderstood without the context.

    During the Summer, I brought up a verse during a sermon that is usually listed on any top lists of “mis-applied” verses. Afterward, I got into a nice conversation with Gordon Douglas, Pastor Ron’s old comedian friend, who was visiting with us and had recently spoken on how often he sees this verse ...read more
