    The Danger Of Following God With Human Wisdom

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Aug 5, 2025
     | 129 views

    God is not seeking experts; He is seeking the obedient. Following Him requires that we crucify our natural wisdom and embrace divine instruction. There is danger in depending on human intelligence to navigate spiritual assignments. Such a path leads to error, frustration, and loss.

    THE DANGER OF FOLLOWING GOD WITH HUMAN WISDOM By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 1 Corinthians 1:18-25 “For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God…” (1 Corinthians 1:18) Supporting Texts: Proverbs 3:5-7, Romans 8:6-8, ...read more

    Nations and individuals go through tests throughout life, and these tests are often given by the Lord Himself. In this sermon we look at this, and we discuss how we might learn the lessons required in order to "pass the test"

    Testing, Testing, 123 Text: Psalm 11:1-7 Once again; I want to thank you all for the privilege of sharing God’s Word with you this morning. I’m grateful for the opportunity.

    Why Sunday?

    Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Apr 24, 2024
     | 902 views

    When you look at the letter of the Law, you demand one day only. When you look at the principle or purpose of the Law you see the grace that Paul spoke of and why Gentiles were not required to be under naught but the moral law.

    Exodus 20:8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. KJV The question is often asked why most Christians meet on Sunday instead of Saturday. Let's look first at the definition of the word in both Hebrew and Greek sincere will be looking at it it from the OT and NT sides. OT:7676 shabbath ...read more

     | 4,263 views

    We all need intercessory help. Better than a professional lawyer, the Spirit never loses a case. It reminds me when I lived in Nigeria an intercessor or a mediator was necessary to resolve every conflict. This required an authoritative intercessory figure

    Eleven Principles of Intercessory Help Rom 8:26,27 - "The Spirit helps us in our weakness for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit intercedes for us according to the will of God."

    · Mankind is born with the tendency to think and act selfishly, but the agape love of God is deposited within your heart when you became born again. Once a Believer develops in love, power becomes available, but walking in love is a process that requires

    Introduction · Last week we spoke about the Law of Love and defined the importance of our love walk in our life. · We studied that without love, none of the principles of God work as intended. · We learned that the foundation of all the principles are rooted in the Law of Love. · This week we ...read more

    Fears That Keep Us From His Presence

    Contributed by Marilyn Murphree on Jun 1, 2007
    based on 19 ratings
     | 8,858 views

    What fears cause us to back away from the Presence of the Lord? Fear that He will require more than you are willing to give? We can probably relate to some of the same fears that these people did many years earlier.

    June,2007 Fears that Keep Us from His Presence Luke 8:26-39 INTRODUCTION: Jesus did many miracles when He lived on earth. One of those miracles involved the deliverance of a demon-possessed man who had been living among the tombs for a long time. He was so out of control that he could no ...read more

    The Goodness Of God

    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,423 views

    Ask any Christian if they believe that God is good and they would certainly say, well of course. But believing that He is good is not the only requirement in pleasing Him. The Word says, we must also believe that He is a rewarder of those who diligently

    Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Rewarder - "one who pays wages" (misthos, "wages," apo, "back," didomi, "to give"), is used by metonymy in Heb. 11:6, of ...read more

    Our Call To Grow

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Mar 24, 2009
    based on 21 ratings
     | 9,044 views

    We are called to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord, Jesus Christ. But how many of us do not do that because it requires us to read, study, pray, and even live our lives according to His principals, and not our own.

    Man’s law says that to be ignorant of the law is no excuse for not following it. And we are held accountable for being lawful citizens. But in reality, you cannot be expected to know more than that which you are taught. For example, I have never been taught how to use a jackhammer. And since ...read more

    There is often a misconception of the first disciples. Many are lead to believe they didn’t have anything to loose by following Jesus. Quite the opposite is true. These were successful businessmen,likely well educated and of fairly prominent social posi

     | 9,495 views

    The fact that we are alive testifies that we have a race to run, and that it requires endurance. Such races often stem from extreme misfortune. Some suffer from health conditions, or conditions of their own making. In any case, everyone has a race set before them.

     | 28,243 views

    Jesus used a parable regarding a great supper to illustrate the eternal truths of salvation. In this parable, He emphasized our responsibility in reaching the unsaved. We must be willing to go into the highways and hedges of life, compelling them to come.

    Go! Compel them to Come In Luke 14:23 Our text verse comes from a parable of our Lord, where once again He addressed the hypocrisy and self-righteous arrogance of the Pharisees. Having dealt with their teachings regarding the Sabbath and their desire for recognition, one of them spoke of the ...read more
