    Don’t give into life’s troubles. You may not see in them the rich potential of a strong faith, but it’s there. To have it developed is much more precious than gold! Faith-Testing Times Can Be Faith-Strengthening Times.

    Opening illustration: In the 1980s, Northern Nevada was the site of a gold strike. The discovery would have been beyond the imagination of 19th century prospectors, for the gold in those western hills is virtually invisible. Even after being magnified 1,500 times, most of the particles remain ...read more

    Our study continues with a few serious matters. The place of PRIDE and GOSSIP is opened up, plus some thoughts on MONEY; and the way some like to dominate others. They all cause tensions in churches. Faithful, honest preaching is vital to reduce potential conflicts.

    DEALING WITH TENSIONS AND CONFLICTS IN CHURCHES AND CHURCH ORGANISATIONS – PRACTICAL EXAMINATION AND SUGGESTIONS – PART 2 Last time we began a list of issues that I have seen over my lifetime that can cause tensions and conflicts in the church.

    Jesus Empowers

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Mar 13, 2025
     | 247 views

    Many believers live below their potential because they lack the understanding of divine empowerment. Jesus did not call us to live in weakness, fear, or defeat. Instead, He has given us supernatural strength, authority, and ability to fulfil our divine purpose.

    JESUS EMPOWERS By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth." – Acts 1:8 Supporting Texts: Luke ...read more

    Ignoring the sin present in your life is not recognizing the fact that you have and need a savior. Labeling sin as anything other than sin is calling God a liar and the truth is not in you.

    Sin John I 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

    John tells us to say no to the world. As God’s people we need to recognize and reject all that is of the world so that the love of God may flow freely in our lives.

    As Christians, we are more known for what we are against than what we are for. Ironically, Jesus said we were to be known by love, and that is how the world will recognize us.

    Last week, we started looking at what the world around us wants to know about Christians. We talked about the kind of faith that the world around us is saying, do you have that kind of faith? Today, we are going to look at love. I told you last week, that one verse has been driving me as a ...read more
