    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Apr 11, 2025
     | 775 views

Supporting Texts: James 4:6, 1 Peter 5:5, Isaiah 14:12-15, Daniel 4:30-37, Philippians 2:5-8 INTRODUCTION: Pride is one of the deadliest sins that often hides ...read more

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jul 16, 2025
     | 258 views

Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 2 Kings 14:1-29 Supporting Texts: Proverbs 16:18; 1 Peter 5:6; 2 Chronicles 25; Obadiah 1:3-4; Jeremiah 9:23-24 INTRODUCTION: 2 Kings 14 presents the reign of Amaziah, king of Judah, and the consequences of his pride and unwise choices. ...read more

    Worship is the centerpiece that governs everything in your life, my believing friends. A centerpiece is where the presence of one thing governs everything else related to your life spiritually. The Bible says every little piece of our lives is to honor the Lord.

    This morning, I want to talk to you about Discovering Your Why for Life. One day a man walks up to Jesus and says, “Lord, what’s the most important thing in the Bible?” Jesus replied this way: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 ...read more
