     | 8,343 views

    When we lose sight of God, and focus on our circumstances, our gratitude turns to grumbling. But practicing an attitude of gratitude in all things transforms the way we understand God and the way in which we see the world around us.

    The Sermon On The Mount (Part 16) Series

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jan 13, 2020
     | 4,113 views

    For many people, their priority in life is material prosperity. When you hear the phrase, 'well off' or, 'well to do', it refers to someone who is wealthy. As we'll see today, those who have stored up treasures in heaven will truly be, 'well off' and 'well-to-do'.

    THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT (part 16) Matt. 6:19-24 Suze Orman in her book, “9 Steps to Financial Freedom” writes, "When I was 13, my dad owned his own business—a tiny shack where he sold chicken, ribs, hamburgers, hot dogs, and fries.

    Divine Helpers In Unlikely Places Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Mar 11, 2025
     | 675 views

    God often provides help from unexpected sources and through people we least expect. Divine helpers do not always come as wealthy benefactors or influential figures. Sometimes, they are found in unlikely places—individuals whom society has overlooked, rejected, or considered insignificant.

Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 1 Samuel 22:1-2 "David therefore departed thence, and escaped to the cave Adullam: and when his brethren and all his father's house heard it, they went down thither to him.
