     | 128 views

    Opie was cleaning things out of the garage and told the other boy that by doing that he was earning a 25 cent allowance. The other boy made fun of Opie saying he should get an allowance without any work. And if he didn't get what he wanted to start crying or have a fit.

    Jesus prays in John 17—not just for the disciples beside Him, but for us, those who would come to believe through their witness. That’s real love. Not temporary. Not performative. Real love is legacy love. Transformative love. Love that acts and lasts.

    Sermon Title: “Real Love… Talking About That Real Love” Scripture: John 17:20–26 (The Message) Occasion: Cumberland UMC, 1st Sunday in June 2025 The Message 20-23 I’m praying not only for them But also for those who will believe in me Because of them and their witness about me.

    As we examine this event is Jesus' life and ministry [John 4:1-42] we will learn that he comes to break down social barriers (cultural, racial, traditional) and to turn our focus from the temporary to the eternal.

    We’re in the middle of our Summer Series entitled: “LIVE-LIKE-THAT” and through this series of messages we’re challenging each of us to begin living as Jesus lived and loving as Jesus loved. Jesus demonstrated the importance of loving God with all of His being and here at Gateway that’s our ...read more

    Core 52 Week 17 - Blessed Series

    Where do we look for happiness? So often, our happiness is temporary, circumstantial. What if we could find a source of happiness that was longer-lasting? Even eternal? Jesus points us to this source in Matthew chapter 5.

    You can listen to the sermon on my podcast at: https://pastorlanny.buzzsprout.com/ Core 52 Week 18 - Blessedness Intro: • Happiness - perhaps difficult to experience right now. • My happy/sad day yesterday. • Not very important in the big scheme of things.

    There's No Place Like Home Series

     | 5,602 views

    It is the cross and the promise of a life after this one that makes this world, with all its ups and down, with all its sorrow, with all its conflicts and challenges all that much more bearable when we know that all of this is just temporary.

    “There’s no place like home.” Who said it? Right … Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz. Why is that line so iconic? As soon as you hear it, you see Dorothy … aka Judy Garland … holding Toto, clicking the heels of her ruby red slippers three times, and uttering the words … “There’s no place like ...read more

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Mar 14, 2025
     | 508 views

    Every moment of celebration should honour Jesus. Whether in times of joy or success, His presence must be acknowledged. A celebration without Jesus is temporary, but when He is glorified, His presence brings lasting joy and supernatural blessings.

    HONOURING JESUS IN EVERY CELEBRATION OF LIFE By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: John 2:1-11 "This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him." – John 2:11 Supporting Texts: Colossians 3:17, 1 Corinthians 10:31, ...read more

    Faith To Sojourn Series

    Contributed by Paul Dayao on Oct 25, 2025
     | 123 views

    This sermon explains how Abraham, by faith, lived as a temporary sojourner in a tent within the very land God had promised, teaching us to live in our present blessings without losing our focus on our eternal home.

    Introduction If you finally achieved your life's greatest goal—if you moved into the very place you always dreamed of living—how would you behave? You would likely settle down, build a permanent home, put down deep roots, and say, "I have arrived." This is what makes Abraham's ...read more

    Have you ever noticed how much the Bible teaches about suffering for the cause of Christ? Are you ready to walk with Jesus through the valley of suffering in order to receive a crown of life? Let’s get ready.

    Preparing for Persecution A couple of years ago we had a bad wind storm and afterward, as Jenny and I walked around our block we saw where a huge tree had fallen on top of a neighbor’s van. The van looked like a new one, but it was totaled by the tree. There were lots of other big trees in the ...read more

    To show that while gentiles have not suffered as God’s people, the Jews, have suffered, we cannot be arrogant or unbelieving and presume upon God but must come together with the Jews in humble faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

    1. The Sadness of the Broken off Branches and the Future Triumph (15,16,23,24,26,27) What a storm we might have seen or experienced! The images in this part of Romans speak so clearly to the sadness of the situation of those branches broken off from the Tree. Have you seen trees whose branches ...read more

     | 3,244 views

    To show that GOD called us not to believe only but to suffer for His Name's sake and if we try to avoid or save ourselves from trials, persecutions and sufferings here on earth, we will not be saved (advance) in our spiritual life.

    I. EXORDIUM: Are you called to suffer for Him? Yes. Philippians 1:29 (Amplified Bible) For you have been granted [the privilege] for Christ’s sake not only to believe in (adhere to, rely on, and trust in) Him, but also to suffer in His behalf. II. AUDIENCE PROFILE: ...read more

    When you pray, do you pray in faith? Or are you talking to God, getting a bit of temporary relief? When you pray, you have to pray with confidence. No confidence, no faith...One of the great errors of the Church is to base faith and standards by yesterday

    It’s tough to be steadfast or loyal to our creditors when the mortgage or car payment is due, cash is tight, and work is gone. It’s tough to be steadfast and hang on in relationships when so many are divorcing their families and walking away. It is tou
