    Anytime you step out in leadership, you will face opposition. Since that is the case, it’s important to know what you’re up against and how to overcome it.

    When Your Brook Dries Up Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jul 15, 2025
     | 640 views

    We often panic when our brook dries up, whether it’s a job, a relationship, a source of income, or even a ministry opportunity. But when God allows a brook to dry up, it is not a sign of abandonment—it is a sign of transition.

Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 1 Kings 17:7 Supporting Texts: Ecclesiastes 3:1; Isaiah 43:18-19; Psalm 37:25; Hebrews 13:5; Philippians 4:19 INTRODUCTION: In 1 Kings 17, God commanded Elijah to hide by the Brook Cherith, promising supernatural provision through ...read more

    Fired Up: From Anger To Action

    Contributed by Austin W. Duncan on Sep 26, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 278 views

    Anger shows up—on the road, at home, at work. Psalm 37 teaches us not to “burn” (fret) but to trust, wait, and do good. The bible distinguishes anger that seeks justice from anger that seeks control. Trust God’s justice, practice meekness, and pursue peace in Christ.

    Road Rage Let me ask you a simple question: “When was the last time you got angry?” Maybe it was this morning when that driver cut you off in traffic. Maybe it was last night when your teenage kid rolled their eyes at you one too many times. Or maybe you’re angry right now about something deeper - ...read more

    Daily yield control so the Spirit can animate every thought, word, and deed.

    Introduction I know that it is rude and impolite, generally speaking, to ask personal questions. There are just certain questions that people should know better than to ask. For example: You should never go up to a woman and ask, “How much do you weigh?” Likewise, you should never go up to a ...read more

    Growing Up In All Aspects In To Christ

     | 4,975 views

    Without the macroscopic and microscopic vision of how we are to grow up in all aspects in to Christ, we will fall short of God’s plan for our lives.

    The Problem of Becoming Mature in Many Aspects Ephesians 4:15 Cultural, personal, or circumstantial obstacles are bound to stand in the way of anyone who wants to become mature in Christ. Yet, without maturity we cannot become all that God wants us to be. Neither can we know all that the ...read more

    Never Let The Wine Dry Up

     | 1,393 views

    All of us are much like empty and broken pots. No matter how we plan or what we do, we always come up empty and short. Whether it is a marriage relationship or any other challenges, like Mary we need to seek the help of our Lord and believe before we can see.

    This morning I have chosen the gospel reading to share a message entitled “Never let the wine run out.” But before I get into it, listen to this: A priest was driving erratically on a county road and got pulled over by a local cop. As the cop went up to the car he immediately got a strong smell of ...read more

    True security and joy come from valuing eternal treasures over earthly ones, letting Jesus shape our desires, vision, and devotion above all else.

    Friends, welcome. Some weeks feel like a whirlwind of receipts and reminders, alerts and anxieties. The heart starts hoarding headlines and to-do lists, and before we know it, we wake up with a soul that feels thin.
