    Serving Your Way Into Destiny Connections Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Mar 11, 2025
     | 528 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

    Maybe you don’t think you have much to give but let me assure you that God can turn the smallest deed, just a token of your time, whatever you have into life changing actions.

    Maybe you don’t think you have much to give but let me assure you that God can turn the smallest deed, just a token of your time, whatever you have into life changing actions. I read a story World War II that shows how the smallest deed can make all the difference in the world to ...read more

    Peter stressed that we "pay attention" to the words of the prophets. But why? What did Peter think was so important about Scripture that we needed to give it such a focus of our attention?

    Jesus has a way of always challenging us to go forward. Just when we think we know Him, He reveals something new that forces us into faith.

    Just when you think you know who Jesus is – He reveals something else that throws you completely off. Just when you have a handle on your life, something happens to upset everything you’ve come to rely on. We think that describes someone who is young in the Lord or who should know better. But in ...read more

     | 8,823 views

    When we think we know what following Jesus means, we need to look again. Leaning on our own understanding is not trusting in the Lord with all our heart.

    Luke 9 John McArthur, in his book, The Gospel According to Jesus, tells about a time when he was with a minister driving through a particular city.

    Rugged Individualism? Rugged Surrender!

    based on 36 ratings
     | 3,002 views

    "Rugged Individualism" is thinking that we need to rely on ourselves. But this can lead to trouble, as the Israelites (and the Corinthians, and people today) indicate. Instead, we should pursue "rugged surrender".

    One of God’s favorite words is “forgiveness.” As we look at the first words of Jesus on that last day, we can’t help but say, “God really thinks this is important.”

    But Jesus was saying, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” (Luke 23:34) Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?” Jesus answered, “I tell you not seven times, but seventy-seven ...read more
