    based on 1 rating
     | 9,950 views

    It seems that there is a never-ending struggle between the belief of salvation by faith alone and salvation by faith AND works. What does the Bible tell us?

    Please open your Bibles to Romans 5:1-11 which we will read in a few minutes. Over the past few of weeks we have been taking a look at the five “Solas” that were reestablished after the Protestant Reformation came along in 1517. Sometimes when you read some of the major prophet Scriptures such as ...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. It is similar to what Jesus says in The Sermon on the Mount where He says: “Persist in asking, and you will receive. ...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

    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

    Character Study Of Manasseh Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Mar 24, 2025
     | 407 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.

    CHARACTER STUDY OF MANASSEH – WICKED KING WHO LATER REPENTED By Rev. 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

    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
