    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jun 1, 2025
     | 454 views

    Humility is not weakness—it is strength under control. In a world that often rewards pride, self-promotion, and status, God calls His children to embrace the way of humility.

    Today, we're going to talk about something super important - forgiveness. You know, that thing we all need but sometimes find hard to give. We're going to look at a story from the Bible where Jesus shows us the ultimate example of forgiveness. So, let's dive in! Our main story comes from Luke ...read more

    Consequences Of Pride

    Contributed by James Dina on Jul 27, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 13,721 views

    Pride goes before destruction.Whosoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted. You cannot do any good unless “the mighty hand of God” is with you! Therefore, be humble and look to His hand for all success.

    “Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall” (Proverbs 16:18). Pride, the first-born son of hell, unclean and vile, is a ringleader and captain among iniquities, daring and God-defying sin. It has nothing lovely in it. Pride exalts it head, and seeks to honor itself; but ...read more

Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips. 2 Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are ...read more

    Saul hides behind his religion. Mafia hitmen rationalize, “Yes, I kill people but I’m really good to my mother.” We are incredibly good at self-deception. People hide behind their religion to evade obedience

    Today, I want to speak to parents and grandparents on raising children who have a stalwart character all their lives. Let’s look at one of the most interesting kings of ancient Israel, King Saul. Today’s Scripture The word of the Lord came to Samuel: 11 “I regret that I have made Saul king, for ...read more

    Two sinners attend church, but clearly for two different reasons and the leave church walking in diametrically opposed directions. What happened at church to make this difference?

    Sinners At Church Luke 18:9-14 "And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.

    Forgotten Forgiveness

    based on 76 ratings
     | 4,755 views

    For believers, this is the sadest thing that could ever happen. This message causes a self evaluation as to how well we remember that we are saved by grace, and owe our lives to God.

    Psalms 32:1-2 and 2 Peter 1:2-9 It really shouldn’t surprise us at the great lengths the Bible speaks of forgiveness. Our entire message, faith, belief, and life is based on that one thing: forgiveness. And in the Bible, in all the various ways forgiveness is discussed, there stands out, ...read more

    For Men’s Day at Emmaus Baptist Church, Quinton, VA. Aquila is an example of taking risks to secure his self-knowledge, his relationships, and his contribution to the church.

    Anything worth doing involves risk, doesn’t it? Nothing great has ever been accomplished by people afraid to take risks. I have seen a poster that showed a small fish, closing in on a worm and a fishhook, but unaware that he was about to be gobbled up by a large fish, which was itself about to be ...read more

    The world teaches us to only consider Me, Mysel, and I. Let us dethrone self as God deny ourselves and take up our cross and follow Jesus.

    Dieing To Live At a party a woman said this: “My husband and I managed to be happy together for 20 years. I guess this is because we’re both in love with the same person.” The husband of this marriage is a picture of the self absorbed and self-centered society we have today . The wife even ...read more

    God wants to add to your fellowship, family and church the following areas: A greater sense of SIGNIFICANCE, STIMULATION, SUPPORT, STABILITY, SELF-EXPRESSIVE CONFIDENCE, SATISFACTION, SPIRITUAL DEPTH.

    Qualities of a Caring Fellowship As we have opportunity, let us do good to all. --Galatians 6:10 A rainbow is a sign of God’s promise never again to destroy the earth by a flood (Gen. 9:11-17).

    Every Christian must ultimately decide whether they will continue to follow their own self-devised path or make full commitment to Christ, and that decision is often made in the midst of a crisis.

    The Touch That Transformed Text: Gen.32: 30-31 Intro: A study in the life of Jacob, the son of Isaac, reveals much about human nature. More importantly, it reveals many spiritual truths about the Christian’s walk with God that need to be acknowledged and applied to daily life. I won’t take ...read more
