    Last week, I used an illustration to show that Jesus should be the center of our small group meetings. He is the real leader of the small group. He is alive. He comes to us in the person of the Holy Spirit. And he is Lord. But lying underneath this goal of our gathering is the reality that we ...read more

    Serving Your Way Into Destiny Connections Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Mar 11, 2025
     | 500 views

    Service is not a sign of weakness; it is a divine key to greatness. Many people are waiting for divine helpers to locate them, yet they are unwilling to serve.

And he asked Pharaoh’s officers that were with him in the ward of his lord’s house, saying, Wherefore ...read more
