    You Are Not Enough

    Contributed by Brandon Queen on May 12, 2025
     | 330 views

    “Jesus Is Enough” is a heartfelt sermon reminding us that our strength fails, but God’s grace never does. In our weakness, Christ is our sufficiency. Through testimony and Scripture, we discover true freedom by relying fully on Him.

    ENGAGE: INVICTUS by William Ernest Henley Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but ...read more

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jun 11, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 356 views

    The mercy of God is not abstract—it is active, present, and powerful even in our most trying seasons. When crisis comes, we do not rely on our strength, wisdom, or righteousness. We lean wholly on the mercy of God that does not fail.

    MERCY THAT SPEAKS IN CRISIS By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Lamentations 3:22-23 Supporting Texts: Psalm 86:15, Hebrews 4:16, Jonah 2:1-10, Luke 18:13-14, Romans 9:15-16 INTRODUCTION: In times of crisis, when all hope seems lost and everything around us crumbles, there is one divine attribute ...read more

    Asa did what was right in the sight of the Lord! We have to make the decision to do what is right in the sight of the Lord daily. It is foolish to lean on a broken reed, when we have the Rock of ages to rely upon Redemption is wonderful, but God still exp

    Some decisions have little impact on us, but others are decisions that will impact our life and the lives of others. I am convinced that with these type of decisions we make better choices when we rely on the Word, on Jesus and on the Holy Spirit in our

    "Self" is who we rely on in most storms, but "self" has no ability to help. It is "God" who must be depended on for He alone has the ability to help us in our valleys of despair. (Audio will be placed at www.sermonlist.com/2007.html)

    A man was in the hospital for tests, and the doctor came in to see him.

     | 7,886 views

    When we go through temptation we do not need to go through in our own strength rather we can rely on our Saviour who has been tempted in every way, yet who did not give in.

    The Temptations of Christ Scripture Readings Hebrews 4:14-5:3 Matthew 4:1-11 (text) Beloved in the Lord Jesus Christ It doesn’t take us long in life to learn that valleys follow mountains, lows follow highs, and solutions quickly dissolve into more problems.

    After Jesus' death Peter and the other disciples went back to their fishing boats. Jesus reminds them of what they were called to do. let us not go backwards but rely on God and his promises - he has a purpose for each of us!

    The Bible amazes me how you can read a passage over and over and then one time you stumble over a new way of looking at it. In my case I was reading a book called ‘Searching for God knows What’ by Donald Miller when he linked these two passages: Matthew 4 vs. 18-20, which says: As ...read more

     | 3,514 views

    The life line between Paul and God was the Spirit of God and his spirit. In this on-going sanctification process, Paul relied upon the Spirit of God to minister to his spirit, thus the comment in verse nine, whom I serve with my spirit.

    Unsafe Prayers

    Contributed by John Gaston on Aug 25, 2016
     | 5,928 views

    Unsafe prayers are those which take us out of our comfort zone, which expose us to God, which thrust us out into the realm of faith and cause us to completely rely on God. Are you ready to pray unsafe prayers?

    UNSAFE PRAYERS Jer. 42:20 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: THE LUMBERYARD 1. A man went to the lumber yard and said to an attendant, “I want 5 4X2’s.” The attendant said, “Do you mean 2X4’s?” He answered, “Let me go out to the truck to ask.” 2. He went out ...read more

    Standing Strong Against Evil

    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,156 views

    It’s not enough to rely on our saved status as Christians. We need to cooperate with the Holy Spirit in fleeing temptation, in battling temptation, in staying above reproach. We can learn from the mistakes of our ancestors, the ancient Israelites.

    1 Corinthians 10:1-13 Standing Strong Against Evil Last week we looked at how Jesus withstood temptation from Satan in the wilderness. Today we follow up with a related passage from the Apostle Paul, encouraging us to stand strong against evil. Someone once wrote, “Learning from your own ...read more

    "Be Prayerful” (A Communion Message) Series

    Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Nov 18, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,576 views

    Our prayer life is a indicator of our reliance upon God. God’s will for each of us is that we so rely on Him that prayer is a spontaneous activity throughout our daily life as individuals and throughout our weekly activities as a church family.

    Last time, we thought together about how it is God’s will for each of His children to be joyful. Now today, I want us to spend some time reflecting on the second thing that Paul says is God’s will for each of us - v. 17. There are two ways in which this needs to be applied: 1. It must be applied ...read more

     | 5,651 views

    Our reaching out and touching Christ can profoundly change our lives and the lives of those around us. Would we care to step out of our circumstances, cultural and societal pressures, relying on God in faith to do the impossible for us?

    Diamonds In The Rough

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Jun 3, 2021
     | 3,391 views

    We will explore how we are "diamonds in the rough". The biggest takeaway from today's message is that when we fully rely on God, He can turn our struggles from hurdles and obstacles into stepping stones.

    DIAMONDS IN THE ROUGH 1 Timothy 4:10-12  For to this end we toil and struggle, because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe.  (11)  These are the things you must insist on and teach.  (12)  Let no one ...read more
