    This may be the most unusual Easter message you have heard.

    O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? 56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

    Through Jesus’ death, He conquered the fear of death. Jesus’ death conquers fear for the genuine believer.

    Last time we witnessed, along with the Apostle John, the crucifixion of Jesus. We were with Him to the end when He proclaimed, “It is finished.” He showed no fear as He gave His life that we might live. Through Jesus’ death, He conquered the fear of death. Jesus’ death conquers fear for the ...read more

    As Jesus spoke with the disciples during the Olivet Discourse, He revealed that He would surely come again. Many deny and reject it, but the Lord will return as He said.

    The Second Coming Matthew 24: 23-31 Jesus has revealed much about the events leading up to His return and the difficulties associated with the Tribulation. Our text today focuses on the time when the Tribulation will be coming to an end and the Lord makes His glorious return to earth. His second ...read more

    based on 7 ratings
     | 3,881 views

    The disciples in this story were facing a Dilemma. It is easy to trust the Lord when we are sailing on the smooth sea of life and there are no clouds in view and the sun is shining and the birds are singing. But what about the storm?

    "ON THE HORNS OF A DILEMMA" Matt 14:22-33 Speaking of Horns - I like what I heard one preacher says, "A lot of preaching is Long Horn preaching". A couple of points with a lot of bull in between. I hope my message this morning will not fall into that category. We need to see the definition of ...read more

     | 11,958 views

    Over 70% of our communication is non-verbal so when Jesus said ’let your light shine’ what does this say about the message our lives communicate to others?

    17.5.09 COMMUNICATING THE GOSPEL Matthew 5:14-16 INTRO How skilled are we at communicating? Perhaps not as skilled as we think. It is easy to send the wrong message without knowing it.

    We need to be more like Jesus. How he handles both sinners and their accusers teach us lessons we need to practice. Here in John 8, Jesus shines again.

    John 8:1-11 Jesus and the Woman caught in Adultery It looks like an airtight case! She was caught in the act; eye witnesses stand present ready to give their deadly testimony. A sort of mock court convenes in front of Jesus there in the temple grounds and the accusers press him for a judgment. ...read more

     | 485 views

    As salt, light, and fire, God has empowered us to make a difference in the world. These symbols show that Christianity is not passive; it is active, vibrant, and transformational. You are meant to preserve, to shine, and to burn for God.

Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Matthew 5:13-16 "Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
