    Three Strikes, You're Out! Series

    Contributed by Jim Drake on Aug 27, 2007
    based on 19 ratings
     | 13,205 views

    Israel missed each opportunity God gave them. Each time Amos interceded, God held off on afflicting them. Finally, He had enough—He afflicted them with almost complete destruction. God is faithful to respond to the intercessory prayers of His people.

    1. The first pitch was a fastball of grace. 2. The second pitch was a fastball of mercy. 3. The third pitch was a changeup of affliction. AMOS 7:1-9 I think everybody here knows how much I enjoy sports. Mostly football, but I like other sports too. I like watching NASCAR. I’m a frustrated ...read more

     | 2,796 views

    There are a multitude of ideas about who Jesus is outside of those who are true disciples of Jesus Christ. But, there is only one True Jesus and Belief and Faith in Him is essential for eternal life. Some may make Jesus the way they WANT Him to be but that will only lead to destruction.

    Advent 1 - Who Do YOU Say Jesus Is? Please stand with me as we go over our current memory Scripture: Job 19:25-27 “I know that my Redeemer lives, and that in the end He will stand on the earth. And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God; I myself will see Him with my ...read more

    Fear: Going The Wrong Way?

    Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Nov 20, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,615 views

    We have been laying a foundation about unhealthy fear. Fear can be very destructive and cause much damage to individuals. We must never accept finite hurt and fear. We must guard our heart to never accept infinite hope as the norm.

    FEAR: GOING THE WRONG WAY By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com (2 parts) TEXT: Deuteronomy 4:9 Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach ...read more

    The Sin And Danger Of Backbiting

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jul 15, 2025
     | 256 views

    Backbiting is more than idle talk — it is a dangerous sin with destructive power. It violates the law of love, damages unity, and brings divine judgment. God desires a church where people speak the truth in love, build one another up, and refuse to speak evil in secret.

    THE SIN AND DANGER OF BACKBITING By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Psalm 15:1-3 Supporting Texts: Proverbs 16:28, James 4:11, Romans 1:29-30, Leviticus 19:16 INTRODUCTION: Backbiting is one of the most subtle yet destructive sins within the body of Christ. It is the act of speaking against ...read more

    The Peril Of Self-Exaltation

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jul 18, 2025
     | 241 views

    God created us for His glory, not ours. When we learn to redirect all praise, success, and honour to Him, we stay safe under His covering. But when we begin to think we are the source of our own greatness, we invite destruction.

    THE PERIL OF SELF-EXALTATION By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Daniel 4:28-37 Supporting Texts: Proverbs 16:18, Isaiah 42:8, Acts 12:21-23, James 4:6, 1 Corinthians 1:29 INTRODUCTION: One of the greatest temptations that men face—especially when they begin to taste success—is the desire to ...read more

    The Uncomfortable Christ

     | 1,598 views

    What kind of fire is Jesus talking about? Is this the fire of judgment? The fire of hell? The fire of destruction? I don't believe so. This is the fire of purification, the fire of truth, the fire that burns away what is false so that what is true can shine forth.

    OPENING Good morning, church family. I want to begin today with a story that might help us understand something profound about the nature of Christ's ministry. Last summer, I had the opportunity to speak with a forest ranger in Colorado. As we drove through a section of the national forest, I ...read more

    Finding Out Who Really Cares

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 7, 2006
    based on 5 ratings
     | 2,275 views

    Who really cares about us? Not this world’s Herods, for fear lashes out destructively. We find care in those who, like the wise men, believe in us and give gifts for the future; and who, like Joseph, sacrifice for us. Epiphany at National Baptist Memor

    Some people have friends. Some people have enemies. Most people have acquaintances. But everybody has people to do business with. The people you do business with -- usually, that’s not an intimate relationship. It’s a distant relationship, limited to transactions. We deal with people who may ...read more

    All that we need to WALK in VICTORY in this life is IN the Word of God. Psalms 107:20 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. All the Healing and Deliverance we will ever need has already been provided. What we do

    Hebrews 2:3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; Paul is talking about the WORD of God that came through the Men of God.

    What Is Your Name

    Contributed by Dale Pilgrim on Oct 2, 2008
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,573 views

    Discovering your name sometimes requires experiences of dark nights and aloneness. God must test our behaviour. He pushes us to see things that are not good for us, things that must change. He loves us far to much to leave us to our destructive behaviour

    The unknown author of the following story captures the value of a name. “After the American Civil War the managers of the infamous Louisiana Lottery approached Robert E. Lee and asked if he’d let them use his name in their scheme. They promised that if he did he would become rich. Astounded, Lee ...read more

    When Problems Come

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on May 2, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,480 views

    Problems come. It's part of life. What are some general principles we need to follow when they do? We look at one of the greatest problems / difficulties / challenges in the history of God's people - the destruction of Jerusalem at the hands of the Babylonians and the exile - for lessons.

    Everyone faces problems from time to time. Churches also face problems. For example, a church might unexpectedly lose its pastor and some other key members of its leadership at around the same time. If that happened, how would you view it? Perhaps some of you would say that it’s a CHALLENGE, ...read more

    Oh Lord! Show Me Mercy, Grace & Favour

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Aug 11, 2025
     | 339 views

    When God shows you mercy, your sins are forgiven and your life is spared from destruction. When He releases His grace, you are empowered to do the impossible. And when His favour rests on you, people are compelled to help you without logical explanation.

    OH LORD! SHOW ME MERCY, GRACE & FAVOUR By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Psalm 102:13 Supporting Texts: Hebrews 4:16, Exodus 33:19, Romans 9:15-16, Psalm 23:6, Luke 1:30 INTRODUCTION: Life’s journey is not determined by strength, intelligence, or connections alone; divine mercy, grace, and ...read more

    Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 1, 2025
     | 557 views

    Manasseh was the evil king who led Judah into total destruction. Yet the Bible records that after 55 years of evil, he turned to the Lord & God forgave him. This story is a picture of God's incredible grace! There's still hope!

    MIRACULOUS MERCY FOR MANASSEH 2 Kgs. 21:1-16 INTRODUCTION A. ILLUS: Conversion of ISIS Fighters 1. It sounds unbelievable. Like something out of a movie. But it’s true. 2.

    Lead Us Not Into Temptation

    Contributed by Carl Allen on May 5, 2008
    based on 5 ratings
     | 3,290 views

    God is not the author of evil. God does not induce anyone to participate in that which is sinful and destructive. When God places some burden upon us, he does so to bring out the good rather than the bad. When Satan places some burden on us or some obs

    Let us Not into Temptation Matthew 6:13 Intro To even begin to understand this particular petition the Lord included in the model prayer, we must recognize that there is a difference between the temptation that is initiated by Satan and the test to which God puts us.

     | 27,208 views

    If we don’t talk about sin, the reality of our sin nature, and it’s destructive power and it’s eternal consequences, then we, as the church, are doing perhaps the most incredible disservice to people that we could ever do with our entire lives. We water
