    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jul 17, 2025
     | 183 views

    Carnal wisdom is the wisdom of the flesh, rooted in human reasoning, selfish ambitions, and earthly standards. It often opposes the principles of God and produces outcomes that are destructive and far from God's will.

    Have you ever wondered what you would do if you were God? The world is thankful that I'm not. I'll share some reasons why.

    If I were God, there would be some changes made. If I were God, matters would be managed differently. Curbstone philosophers have the answers to all of life’s problems.

    Wisdom seems hard to obtain. Wisdom is different than having knowledge. Knowledge is defined as having information through experience, reasoning or acquaintance. Whereas wisdom is the ability to discern or judge what is true.

    Lover of knowledge or plain stupid. Prov. 12:1-10 The topic of wisdom comes up over and over again throughout the pages of Scripture. In fact one whole book (Proverbs) is devoted to the topic .

    Many view this book with skepticism, claiming it’s an allegory or myth that’s been fabricated by the ancients to explain their existence and reason for being, but I believe this book to be a literal, historical record...

    Some people return home to a hero's welcome, but when Jesus returned to Nazareth, His reception was just the opposite! This message does a deep dive into the possible reasons for this terrible welcome.

    I have entitled our message today, “No Hometown Hero.” This term is often used for an athlete who plays for their home team, having a major impact, like helping them win a championship. This athlete then goes off to play college or professional sports; and when he or she later returns to become a ...read more

    Christmas is all about kids. But there are far more significant reasons why God chose to send His savior through birth. The fact Jesus was born as a baby is vitally important in God’s plan. See why it is so important that Jesus was born as a a baby.

    WHY A BABY? The Christmas season is all about kids. This morning we have had a baby dedication, which as we discussed is much more a dedication of the parents. But Christmas is a wonderful time to focus on these precious babies. Christmas is the most fun when you are a child, especially a young ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,498 views

    The reason for Jesus’ miracles, is to validate his office, his mission, and his message. Today, miraculous healings are not badges of prophetic office, but are, instead, answers to prayer by those who have access to God through His Son Jesus Chr

    One theme that immediately jumps out at us today from the lessons – particularly the Old Testament Lesson from 2 Kings and the Gospel lesson from Mark – is the theme of healing. The Old Testament lesson, of course, might be called the ultimate miracle of healing, when Elisha raises the Shunnemite ...read more

    Jonah’s disobedience brought untold troubles on all the crew aboard that ship. The church too must be wary of those who are divisive and must strive hard to maintain unity, integrity continuing in prayer and being obedient to God.

    We read in Jonah 1:11, Then they said to him, "What shall we do to you, that the sea may be calm to us?" For the sea was raging and growing more tempestuous. (AFV) The events that preceded this verse were that the ship on which Jonah voyaged was faced with a severe tempest. The mariners ...read more
