    The Greatest Gain Series

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Mar 23, 2015
     | 4,992 views

    Whatever advantage you think you have, consider it a loss, so that you may know Christ and be found in him.

    Tim Keller has said that there are three ways to live. One is the way of the rebellious. The second is the way of the religious. And the third is the way of the redeemed. You can see all three of these played out in the Parable of the Prodigal Son, a story that Jesus told about two brothers. One ...read more

    Broken, Worn Out, Old Clay Pots

     | 15,043 views

    I used this sermon as one of several in a series on Clay Pots (Earthen Vessels). This was the one I used on Father’s Day during that series.

    I recently came across a Chinese parable that eludes to our thoughts for today’s text. It’s a tale about a water-bearer and his two pots of clay. An elderly peasant had two large clay pots. One of the pots had a crack down its side to a point about half way. The other pot, perfect! Each had been ...read more

    Sometimes it is hard for people to be merry in the Christmas season.

    Blue Christmas: A Reflection from the 137th Psalm Christmas is supposed to be a season of joy. It is a time we reflect upon the heavenly army singing “Peace on Earth and goodwill to men.

    Disobedience Positions People For Replacement

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on May 5, 2025
     | 397 views

    Disobedience is not just a mistake—it is a doorway to replacement. Saul had all the advantages: the anointing, the title, the people. But he lost it all because he put personal opinion above divine command. God does not bless stubbornness; He honours submission.

    DISOBEDIENCE POSITIONS PEOPLE FOR REPLACEMENT By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 1 Samuel 15:1-29 "Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, he hath also rejected thee from being king." – 1 Samuel 15:23b Supporting Texts: 1 Samuel 13:8-14, 1 Samuel 16:1, Deuteronomy 28:1-2, ...read more

     | 174 views

    Being uprooted from Christ leads to spiritual dryness, fruitlessness, and destruction, but abiding in Him guarantees life and eternal fruitfulness.

    THE DANGERS OF BEING UPROOTED FROM CHRIST By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: John 15:4-6 Key Verse: “If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.” (John 15:6) Supporting Texts: Colossians 2:6-7, ...read more

    Job is a man with abundant blessings and a sincere faith. Still he experiences tragic loss.

    Job 1:1-22 “When Bad Things Happen” INTRODUCTION There are times when we believe in ideas that are not true. Though it may not make much sense here in the Valley of the Sun, but I grew up believing that if I didn’t dress warm enough for the harsh fall and winter days I ...read more

    Suffering and Trial The experience of suffering can at times involve a loss of confidence in God’s near presence....The challenge of suffering is a test to all sanctity.

     | 3,273 views

    Abortion is to those of extreme value and based upon unbiblical reasons and taking the lives of those that God views as truly profitable to Him.

    INTRODUCTION 1. Let’s open our bible to Psalm 127:3. 2. Abortion! Before we read our selected passage we want to ask a few questions about the matter of abortion. (1) Is abortion a woman’s right, or is abortion the murder of the innocent? (2) Is abortion something that society ...read more

    How Is Your Life Invested?

    Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jun 19, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,281 views

    God has made a great investment in us so that we might make a great investment in others. Bringing others to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ is where we should invest our time and energy. God will examine the books to see if we made a profit for Him.

    How is your life invested? Luke 19:11-27 Matthew 25:14-46 I’m always fascinated about how many different conclusions people can come to about God’s word. This is especially obvious when you read and study the Parables of Jesus. There is great temptation to take the words of Jesus and make them ...read more

    Knowing that Jesus is savior of the world is of no profit unless that knowledge allows the power of God to produce a spiritual transformation, which results in our life manifesting the fruit of the spirit.

    SALVATION MILESTONES ILLUSTRATION A number of people went to the King and said, "Sir, there are many wandering preachers and scholars who indulge in constant dispute, some saying one thing and others saying another. What, Sir, should we believe concerning them?" The King answered, "Go and find a ...read more
