    The 1st century Christians rejected the use of manmade instruments of music in their worship to God. The reason they did so was the same reason why they rejected animal sacrifices and other elements of the old law. This sermon examines this in detail.

    Why New Testament Christians Reject the Use of Mechanical Instruments of Music There’s a general attitude building among the Lord’s church about mechanical instruments of music that tends to be a bit fuzzy. We are seeing a number of large congregations that are making a switch to ...read more

    The real reason for the Middle-East Crisis: THE DEVIL IS TRYING TO HINDER THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST by stopping God’s elect nation from getting reestablished, stopping their having Jerusalem, stopping the building of the Temple and the reinstitution of sacrifices.

    CHRISTMAS & THE MIDDLE EAST CRISIS Gal. 4:21-29 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. I heard about a couple of men fishing off the coast of Wales, England in rough weather.

    Paul could have gotten off immediately but he stayed. He could have defended himself but he defended the Gospel. He sought to bridge the gap with his people. He was prepared to sacrifice for the sake of the Gospel.

    LET US PRAY: Thank you for your written Word. May the truth of your Word inspires us again, to know you and trust you, to give us hope and strength, and make us faithful followers of Christ. May the life and ministry of Paul be an encouragement for all of us who are serving you today. Bless us ...read more

    The story of Abraham's call from God to sacrifice his only son, the son of the promise, can be confusing if we don't see the larger picture of God's love for humans.

    2nd Sunday in Lent 2021 Imagine a young man, maybe eleven or twelve, picking up the Bible and reading this story of Abraham and his only son, Isaac. If he’s read the chapters leading up to this scene, he knows that Abraham and Sarah were promised a son by God, and that after decades of waiting, ...read more

    This sermon is from Exodus chapter 12 and is about the Passover, final preparation for the Exodus and the perfect sacrifice. Some of the ideas come from "Preach for a Year," by Roger Campbell and commentaries too numerous to mention. My thanks to all.

    Day of Deliverance Text: Exodus 12:1-14 I. Introduction A. The Heart of Exodus 1. Moses at the burning bush looked to this day. (EX. 3:1 – 22) 2.

    The Grain of Wheat parable reveals the transformative power of sacrifice, resurrection, and divine rewards. It highlights Jesus' mission and acts as a guide for believers, encouraging them to embrace a life characterized by selflessness and obedience while strengthening their faith.

    SCRIPTURAL REFERENCES (John 12:24) "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit." [25] He that loveth his life shall ...read more

    In the kingdom of God, nothing you do for the Lord goes unnoticed. The sacrifices you make, the prayers you pray, the tears you shed, and the acts of service you render in obedience to God are all recorded before Him.

Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Malachi 3:16-18 (KJV) "Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought ...read more

    Christ made the atonement for the sins of the world in place of sinners that deserved death. He gave His body as a propitiation (an appeasement, an atonement, as a sacrifice) for the sins of the world. If anyone could appreciate the Grace of God it had to be Paul

     | 903 views

    Jesus disrupts the old system of death and sacrifice, bringing in a new system of love and mercy. He challenges corruption and exploitation, and disrupts our lives to remove anything that hinders us from living abundantly in His love.

    Imagine you're at your favorite concert, but instead of enjoying the music, people are selling stuff and ripping you off. That's what Jesus walked into at the temple. People were supposed to be worshipping God, but instead, they were making a quick buck. Jesus was not cool with that. He flipped ...read more

    In order to become a Christian, a person must hear the gospel, believe in Christ, and receive the Holy Spirit—all of which happen together at the moment of genuine faith.

    A sermon describing how that God has no Plans, no Purpose for you and I which is not centered in the person of his son the Lord Jesus Christ

    It has been said that this is one of the greatest verses in all the Bible.

    Physical bread can keep a person alive for a long time, but the body will still die. Jesus, on the other hand, is bread that gives everlasting life.

    This is an interesting portrait of Jesus, since bread is a substance known and used by every society on the face of the earth. While some like meat and others don't, or some like vegetables and others don't, most people like bread. Bread is one of the few foods that can be tolerated by most ...read more
