    TOO CONSECRATED TO BE WASTED By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 2 Timothy 2:20-21 Key Verse: “If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.” (2 Timothy 2:21, KJV) Supporting Texts: ...read more

    Worldly society is pressuring Christians to agree that sinful lifestyles and habits are normal and acceptable . We need courage to stand for what God says in His Word, the Bible. The 3 Hebrews set an example by refusing to acquiesce to the king's demands.

     | 4,408 views

    Like Paul, we are all slaves to our sins. But Jesus bought us from the slave market to set us free. So why do we continue in bondage. This sermon attempts to answer that question.

    Come with me in a time machine this morning. We will travel back to Rome circa 60 AD. We find ourselves at the Graecostadium, the slave market. As we wander around, we see men, women, and children standing on revolving blocks. Immediately we observe the fact that these people are nude, totally ...read more
