    Are you in a position where you feel your abilities are not sufficient, your past learning don’t match, your capabilities are limited, and people don’t accept you? God has called you and He will take you through.

    Are you in a position where you feel your abilities are not sufficient, your past learning don’t match, your capabilities are limited, and people don’t accept you? When God chose Moses to lead the people of Israel, he knew will not be able to do so with the capabilities he had. ...read more

    Buy a Hallmark card and it will picture a beautiful scene and give a positive message. But not everyone experiences a Hallmark Christmas. Some people have problems, and as we look at scripture, we discover that one of the original characters of Christmas has a big problem. His name is Joseph.

    Alba 12-11-2022 THE OBEDIENCE OF JOSEPH Matthew 1:18-25 It is Christmas shopping time as we near the big day. Stores take advantage of this and come up with some clever signs to encourage people to shop in their stores. Here are a few clever ones: From a toy store: "Ho, ho, ho spoken ...read more

    Serving Your Way Into Destiny Connections Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Mar 11, 2025
     | 514 views

    Service is not a sign of weakness; it is a divine key to greatness. Many people are waiting for divine helpers to locate them, yet they are unwilling to serve. Joseph’s story teaches us that serving in every season of life—whether in the palace or in the prison—positions us for destiny connections.

    SERVING YOUR WAY INTO DESTINY CONNECTIONS By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Genesis 40:6-8 "And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and looked upon them, and, behold, they were sad. And he asked Pharaoh’s officers that were with him in the ward of his lord’s house, saying, Wherefore ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Apr 14, 2025
     | 330 views

    Boasting is a major problem to be overcome but Paul was very clear about his position on it. Only in the cross of Jesus Christ would he boast. We open up this subject of boasting in this message with a good number of scriptures. God forbid that I should boast!

    29 THE BOOK OF GALATIANS – CHAPTER 6:14 - Message 29 – WHAT DID PAUL REALLY BOAST IN? PAUL AND BOASTING EXAMINED. WE OUGHT TO FOLLOW SUIT This matter of boasting is a vexed problem in scripture and Paul had a lot to say about it. I want to examine how it affected the Apostle and then to look ...read more

    Autocorrecting God

    Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Jun 9, 2024
     | 757 views

    If you find yourself thinking that "maybe" the Bible is not correct in some of the things it teaches us as Christians then you need to read this message as you might find yourself in a position where you are correcting God about something He has commanded.

    Autocorrecting God Scripture: Genesis 3:1-6; Genesis 5:1-3; Proverbs 14:12 Good morning, Strangers Rest! The title of my message this morning is “Autocorrecting God.” Two weeks ago, I told you that of all of God’s creation we are what He values most. On last Sunday, I told you that we ...read more

    Sermon # 46 - Be A Son, Not A Slave Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 3, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,661 views

    God has called us to be His sons and daughters, but it is possible that we can live like slaves not understanding our position in Christ. May we be freed from every enslavement so we can enjoy the rights to be the true sons and daughters of God.

    We read in Romans 8:15, For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. (KJV) There are two kinds of spirits that are mentioned in the verse above, one is the spirit that makes us a slave, and the other the ...read more

     | 1,021 views

    Jesus pops up to speak in the middle of everyone on a major holiday with seemingly nowhere to go. Why would He risk His life? Why would He place Himself in such a dangerous position? Jesus risks everything to give us a gift that changes everything.

    Have you heard someone say, “I wouldn’t bet the farm on that if I were you?” There are many things in life we CANNOT count on. You CANNOT count on a politician’s promise. You CANNOT count on the weatherman’s forecast. And you cannot count on the pastor when he says, “I’ll be just one more minute.” ...read more

    When Jesus ascended into Heaven, it marks a new beginning of His ministry on earth. Jesus would once again be seated in His position of Authority, enthroned with all his former glory. The Holy Spirit would empower the Apostles to be Jesus' witnesses to the world

    Through Elijah's obedience and a widow's desperation, we discover how spiritual static blocks God's voice while positioning ourselves correctly opens heaven's communication channel in our daily lives.

    Hearing the Voice of God Hebrews 1:1-2; 1 Kings 17:8-15 Introduction Have you ever stood in a crowded room where everyone's talking at once? You know someone's calling your name, but you can't quite make out their voice through all the noise. That's what life feels like sometimes, ...read more

    It was a time that cried out for a good woman of courage, Esther. Est. 4:13-16. Her silence would have been sin – in a responsible position, in a time that needed good people – of conviction and prayer.It was true in her time. It is still true in our time

    ESTHER – “FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS” INTRODUCTION Text: Est. 4:13-16. 1 You’ve probably heard the adage, "behind every good man is a good woman." 2 I prefer, "Behind every good man is a surprised mother-in-law." 3.

    Satan has already tried to attack God’s position in heaven and failed, so now he is about to try attacking God’s plan on earth. Chapter 13 describes in great detail the reign of anti-Christ up to his eventual doom at Armageddon.
