    Paul sets out the case that the Jew had advantages but failed. Promises to Abraham looked at. Then he answers those who claim sin helps promote the character of God. The righteousness of God is set against man’s sin. Does good come out of evil?

    Overcoming The Giant Of Failure Series

    Contributed by Terry Cavanaugh on Jul 12, 2025
     | 367 views

    Today, we delve into a powerful narrative from the life of Moses, an extraordinary leader who teaches us about the art of failing forward. Despite his flaws and failures, Moses’ life serves to teach us many valuable lessons. One of them is how to handle failure.

    Exodus 2:11–12 “Now it came about in those days, when Moses had grown up, that he went out to his brethren and looked on their hard labors; and he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his brethren. So he looked this way and that, and when he saw there was no one around, he struck down the ...read more

    The God who never loses a battle is the same yesterday, today, and forever. His record of victory is flawless, and His commitment to His children is unwavering. When you face challenges, remember that you serve a God whose word cannot fail and whose power cannot be defeated.

    THE GOD WHO NEVER LOSES A BATTLE By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 2 Chronicles 20:15 – “And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the Lord unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is ...read more

     | 1,192 views

    Jesus does not first ask for your work, offering, or position. He first asks for your heart. Love is the root of every fruitful walk with God. Like Peter, you may have failed before, but Jesus still asks today: “Do you love Me?”

    DO YOU LOVE ME? By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: John 21:15-21 "So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these?

    God, through Christ Jesus, has liberated us from our chains, yet often we fail to recognize this and instead burden ourselves with worldly concerns. This sermon aims to remind believers of the freedom granted to us by the Son of God, and to discourage the self-imposition of unnecessary burdens.

    Freedom or Liberty has been considered as a basic human right throughout history. In today's world, the issue of freedom is highly discussed, especially in our country. However, we often fail to realize that God in Christ Jesus has already set us free from bondage. This sermon aims to encourage ...read more

    IT IS A fact THAT You have been SET UP for FAILURE, FRUSTRATION and the FORFEITURE of all that which you have FORCLOSED! In practice, your FAITH has FAILED to FUNCTION in the FACE of SET UPS. YOU JUST DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO WHEN SEATS BECOME SET UPS.

    Perhaps you are wondering, ’Why it is that your Service always seems to SET YOU UP?’ I don’t know, but I’m Speculating. I’m not sure, but its possible that you might be puzzled as to Why your SERVICE ultimately SET YOU UP for FAILURE? I can’t be absolutely certain, I have a sneaking suspicion ...read more

     | 5,120 views

    The disciples either missed or failed to apply Jesus teaching in Mark chapter 9 verse 36. They rebuke parents who were bringing little children to Jesus, but Jesus was indignant when he saw this. Jesus blessed children and he asks us to learn from them.

    What a difference a week can make! This time last week I was in a car travelling from the Judean Desert east of the River Jordan, heading towards Capernaum on the shore of the Sea of Galilee.

    Though we face a defeated foe, we will ensure our own defeat if we fail to respect his power. God has provided us with armour and weapons that give us victory, but we must train ourselves to use them--then, we must use them.

    “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this ...read more

     | 14,765 views

    It has been said that "you will never walk on water if you do not get out of the boat." And yet, too often we fail to think about the next step. This sermon is meant to encourage those afraid to step out in faith as well as those who are sinking!

    Many centuries ago, a man named Peter stood on the edge of a boat in the Sea of Galilee. Like all people who find themselves on an edge - whether physical or metaphorical - a decision had to be made. Peter’s choice was to either to step out onto the water or remain in the boat. Not an easy ...read more
