    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jul 5, 2025
     | 695 views

    Obedience is the foundation of spiritual authority and divine favour. God does not accept substitutes for obedience—sacrifice, talent, position, or charisma cannot replace a heart yielded to Him.

Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 1 Samuel 15:1-23 Supporting Texts: Deuteronomy 28:1-2, Proverbs 21:3, John 14:15, Isaiah 1:19-20, Hebrews 10:5-9 INTRODUCTION: God places a high premium on obedience.

    Precious In The Sight Of God

     | 15,445 views

    A short lesson on the importance of a Christian woman to have the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God.

    Today, I want us to consider something “precious in the sight of God.” God created the Universe. All things belong to Him. He sees all things before Him. Interesting to me is that as God sees all things, the Bible reveals that there is something that is “precious in the sight of God.” The meaning ...read more

    Drawn By Beauty

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Sep 27, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,003 views

    Where does beauty come from and why are we attracted to it? Why do we as human beings desire to make beautiful creations? The existence of objective beauty points to a God of beauty who loves His creation and desires to give us joy and pleasure.

    Today I will be speaking about how objective beauty points us to the Creator God. We’ll be looking at Psalm 27:4 and Psalm 96:6. One thing I have asked from the LORD, that I shall seek: That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the LORD and to ...read more

    Many decisions that we must make in our lives are based on our accountability to someone. No matter how much we like to think we are own our own, the fact remains, we must give account to someone.

    ACCOUNTABILITY TO THE NEXT LEVEL OF AUTHORITY I. INTRODUCTION: As a teacher, I must enforce the rules of the school. Not always do I enjoy this portion of my job.

    The second part of Are You Authorized studying those who are authorized to do the work of God.

    Last week we talk about being authorized to do the things of God.

    How should we as Christians relate to the secular powers? This is not an easy question to answer, but we must struggle to find one.

    A Christian’s Duty to Government Romans 13:1-10 Jesus was once tempted with the question whether it was lawful to pay taxes to Caesar.
