Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 1 Chronicles 4:10 Supporting Texts: Genesis 26:22, Isaiah 54:2-3, Deuteronomy 19:8, Psalm 18:36, Job 8:7 INTRODUCTION: God is a God of enlargement.

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 13, 2024
     | 973 views

    Have the churches been faithful in relaying the gospel, or has Christianity become something infused into the culture without being a dynamic force? Wicked men flourish. In Judah the people were spiritually blind and deaf. We need to take note ourselves.

    PERSONAL STUDY AND TEACHING IN JEREMIAH – PART 20 – TEACH YOUR GENERATION - AND WICKED MEN IN NATIONS LIE IN WAIT FOR EVIL PART 20 - Jeremiah 5:18-27 CHAPTER 5 [A].

    How do we welcome the King of Kings into our hearts? Here in this passage, the people of Jerusalem welcomed Christ into their city as King. They let their emotions totally take over and begin to shout aloud for Jesus. Let me share with you this morning

    Revival is not something we can plan to happen on a particular week. It is a movement of God among His people, and it has specific characteristics. Here in the last few chapters of Nehemiah, we find some powerful events taking place in the context of re

    Let’s take one more look at the subject of love. And in doing that, there are 3 things I want you to see: 1. The Magnificence of God’s Love. 2. The Mediocrity of Man’s Love. 3. The Maturity of Christian Love.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK A. I’m convinced that if there is one thing the world really needs to know more about, & to put into practice, it is love. In fact, so important is love that Jesus devoted a whole section of the Sermon on the Mount to it. ...read more

    Christians should not take sin lightly, but need to focus on developing their relationship to God instead. Paul offers several arguments to convince us of this. There are other motivations besides merit and fear (Law); Grace motivates us out of love, app

    Successful marriages are built on: 1. Self-giving, rather than self-fulfillment. 2. Building each other up, rather than tearing each other down. 3. Continual growth, rather than taking the relationship for granted.
