    From Delay To Divine Fulfilment

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jul 17, 2025
     | 455 views

    Delay is not the end of God’s promise; it is often a sign that preparation is taking place behind the scenes. Many biblical heroes experienced delays before stepping into divine fulfilment.

    FROM DELAY TO DIVINE FULFILMENT By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Habakkuk 2:3 "For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry." Supporting Texts: Genesis 21:1-2, ...read more

     | 951 views

    The signs of the end times are all around us. Rather than living in fear, we must see these signs as a call to prepare, repent, and remain steadfast in our faith.

Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Matthew 24:3-14 Supporting Texts: 2 Timothy 3:1-5, Luke 21:25-28 INTRODUCTION: The disciples asked Jesus about the signs of His coming and the end of the age.

    Picture this scene: a woman is dragged into the temple courts, humiliated, exposed, guilty. A crowd gathers with stones in hand, ready to enforce the law. Religious leaders stand with accusations prepared.

    Introduction Picture this scene: a woman is dragged into the temple courts, humiliated, exposed, guilty. A crowd gathers with stones in hand, ready to enforce the law.

    The Mission Transcends Mere Geography

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 9, 2025
     | 310 views

    The fame of Jesus spread far from Capernaum and His words and healing were affecting many thousands, preparing both Jew and Gentile for the expansion of the Church after Pentecost .

    Friday of the Fifth Week in Course 2025 Most modern Christians in North America, I believe, are unfamiliar with first-century geography, even of the Holy Land. I think if I use a midwestern U.S. parable, it might be easier to envision than what St. Mark records in his Gospel here. Let’s try ...read more

    God’s Kindness, Our Need For Repentance Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on May 5, 2025
     | 554 views

    Romans chapter 2 is a clear warning against judgementalism. God is the true judge, and we need to prepare ourselves for the coming judgment of God and share the love of Christ to others.

    Have you ever heard a Christian describe themselves as one beggar telling the other beggars where he found bread? If you have then good for them. That attitude is so important because we are not to be judgmental, but we should humbly acknowledge we are all sinners. We were saved by grace, and we ...read more

    Last weekend we focused on the agony in the Garden of Gethsemane and learned that it was a place of support, sorrow, solitude, struggle, submission, and finally, strength. Today we have front-row seats to the arrest and most infamous trial in history.

    The Lord God is always calling us to endure. Sometimes we need consolation in the struggle and encouragement to continue. Once again this is something the Lord gives to us but we are to share it with others. Let us all be sons and daughters of encouragement!

    A sermon that considers what it means to count it all joy when you face all kind of trials. contains quite a bit on william Carey - didn’t use it all but thought it may be a useful resource so have left it in

    Tested Faith. I’d always heard this belief attributed to the supposed fact that Mondays and Fridays had the highest rates of employee absenteeism among auto workers, therefore you didn’t want to buy a car manufactured on those days because some of the assembly steps might have been skipped or too ...read more

     | 16,833 views

    Abraham faced the greatest trial of his life when God asked him to sacrifice the child of promise. From it, we learn that God tests our faith, grows our faith, and models sacrifice as the Heavenly Father gives his only Son for us.

    Genesis 22:1-14 Costly Obedience Sometimes we go through such heavy trials in this life. And, if we’re honest, we may wonder, “God, why are you allowing this to happen to me? I’m trying to follow you best I can. Why, Lord?” Yet, perhaps the better question would be, “Lord, what do you want me to ...read more

    Whenever you face trials and problem, don’t try to work it out yourself, give it to Jesus, and He’ll work it out for you. He said He’ll give you power!

    But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become, the Son of God, even to them that believe on his name. 1. First you have to receive God; in order to receive God, the Bible said be changed or transformed. How many people know that we still have some changing to do? He tells you in ...read more

    The 3 Hebrew children took a stand for God, Who didn’t save them FROM the fire, but saved them IN the fire. God has a purpose for every fiery trial that we go through.

    Many of us want to bypass trial and temptation - but God says there is no "Fast Pass" around difficulty. In fact, we need to learn from the mistakes of others in order to learn patience and the way to withstand temptation.
