    God's Mercy For The Lost - The True Story Of A Man Lost At Sea

     | 8,131 views

    Joe was alone in the Pacific ocean, ten miles from shore, without a life jacket, and worst of all, no one knew that he was overboard.

    I’ve known Joe for twelve years. Joe and his brother Dan own an appliance repair business and have kept our home appliance working for many years. It was unusual for Joe to attend prayer meeting, so I commented to Dan how nice it was to see Joe out on a Wednesday night. "I guess you heard ...read more

    The Danger Of Following From Afar (Peter's Story)

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Apr 11, 2025
     | 383 views

    Peter’s story is a powerful warning and an encouraging reminder. Though he followed from afar and fell, he also found restoration. Let us not be casual in our walk with God. A distant walk leads to disaster, but a close walk leads to destiny.

    THE DANGER OF FOLLOWING FROM AFAR (PETER'S STORY) By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Matthew 26:57–75 “But Peter followed Him afar off unto the high priest’s palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.” – Matthew 26:58 (KJV) Supporting Texts: Luke 22:54–62, John 18:15–18, ...read more

    What Kind Of Fruit Is On The Tree?

    Contributed by Howard Strickland on Dec 6, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,902 views

    The word ‘abide’ means to remain or stay around. The ‘remaining’ is evidence that salvation has taken place. The Christians life resembles a well maintained vine, or a fruit bearing tree. Listen to Psalm 1:3NLT They are like trees planted along the riv

    What Kind of Fruit Is On the Tree? John 15:5-8NKJ I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. 6 If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the ...read more

    Peter And Cornelius: From Pronouncements To People

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 14, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,379 views

    Prejudice deals only with groups, not with persons. Peter had to get beyond outworn principles, and both he and Cornelius had to learn to give and receive what was needed. All need Christ.

    If you have to choose between principles and people, choose people! Do you agree? If it comes down to deciding whether to adhere to certain principles and thereby injure people; if it comes down to violating your beliefs or violating another person, what will you choose? The principle or the ...read more

    Rising After The Falling

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 14, 2026
     | 70 views

    Wisdom is revealed not by uninterrupted success, but by honest resilience — rising again when life fractures and certainty collapses.

    Sir John Carbuncle is doing well. He owns land. His house is solid. His fences are straight. His accounts are in order. People speak of him with a certain confidence — not because they know his heart, but because they know his outcomes. In the early settling of America, a man like Sir John is ...read more

     | 6,705 views

    One of the avenues for the return of God's glory to his people is the committed proclamation of his word.

    1. BUT BEFORE THAT . . . * In 1992, when Mississippi Governor, Kirk Fordice stated unreservedly "America is a Christian nation" the response bordered on hysteria. * But before that -- Congress, declared 1983 to be the "Year of the Bible" -- stating that the Bible, the Word of God, has made a unique ...read more

    The Age Of Accountability - Reality Or Legend?

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Mar 18, 2015
     | 3,771 views

    Whenever we preach a sermon at the funeral of an infant or young child the presupposition is that that person's soul is now in heaven. Is that to help the family through their grief or is it the Biblical truth? Let's see if we can find out.

    All Baby’s Go to Heaven - Right???

    Sex, Lies And Confession

    Contributed by Gary Bennett on Feb 25, 2003
    based on 57 ratings
     | 6,096 views

    Psalm 51 is, in a sense, the redemption of 2 Samuel 11 and 12. So too, confession is one of the significant steps in our redemption.

    SEX & LIES What do Bill Clinton, Shane Warne and I/you have in common? It’s not our cricketing prowess - after all, Bill has probably never played the game. We all smoke - that certainly qualifies as an addiction and so fits in with the theme of this weekend, but it’s not what I have in mind, ...read more

    I believe Naomi must have learned something; that even in the midst of the greatest suffering and adversity; God is good, and kind, and full of mercy.

    The fall of Judah looked like God had failed and would have to come up with plan "B", there is no plan "B", just the plan!

    INTRODUCTION • SLIDE #1 • Last week we saw the fall of the Northern kingdom in 722 BC. It seems as though all is lost with God’s grand idea of creating a nation that would be like no other. • Things are not looking good and in South either, it seems to be going from bad to ...read more

    God’s grace reaches into human failure, transforming guilt and scandal into redemption; His mercy writes straight through the crooked lines of sin.

    (Tamar of Genesis 38) Introduction – Two Women, One Story of Grace There are two women in Scripture who share the same name — Tamar. Both are Jewish. Both are royalty.
