    Spiritual Warfare In Evangelism Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Mar 17, 2025
     | 666 views

    Evangelism is not just about sharing the gospel; it is a spiritual battle between the kingdom of God and the forces of darkness. Every soul won to Christ is a soul delivered from Satan’s grip, which is why evangelism often faces opposition.

Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Ephesians 6:12 "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."

    The Danger Of Following God With Human Wisdom

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Aug 5, 2025
     | 227 views

    God is not seeking experts; He is seeking the obedient. Following Him requires that we crucify our natural wisdom and embrace divine instruction. There is danger in depending on human intelligence to navigate spiritual assignments. Such a path leads to error, frustration, and loss.

    THE DANGER OF FOLLOWING GOD WITH HUMAN WISDOM By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 1 Corinthians 1:18-25 “For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God…” (1 Corinthians 1:18) Supporting Texts: Proverbs 3:5-7, Romans 8:6-8, ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,768 views

    We all struggle with anger but how can we tell when it is right? In this message, Pastor Steve Hereford examines the definition and manifestation of anger.

    Ephesians 4:26-27 says, “‘Be angry, and do not sin’: do not let the sun go down on your wrath nor give place to the devil.” This passage, which the first part comes from Psalm 4:4, is a call to righteous anger.
