    This sermon highlights the need for the Church body to be united in "mind and purpose" in the midst of conflicting, and constantly changing ideologies and trends.

    SUNDAY, JULY 1, 2012 UNITED WE STAND Let me read one of Aesop’s Greek fables; In the forest, there lived four oxen. They were very good friends and always went together to graze in the fields. However, every time they went, a hungry lion tried to attack them. The lion longed for their meat. ...read more

    Mother’s Day 2018

     | 11,669 views

    Mothers shape our children who in turn shape our world. That's a lot of responsibility but God has seen fit to entrust it to women. A Mother’s work is never done and for that reason many wise mothers point us to Jesus the author and finisher of our faith

    Mother’s Day 2018 Mother’s today are the most courageous people I know of. They face a world that treats them and their contributions with contempt and indifference. We see the government removing the word “Mother” from official documents and replacing it with the words “Parent One”. Well at ...read more

    Love One Another

     | 5,009 views

    1 Peter 3:8-9 gives us a descriptive picture of how we should treat each other. It offers a positive look at how we should act, a negative look at how we shouldn't act, and, a look at how our love for one another will bring a blessing.

    Today, let's take a look at some instruction from the Holy Scriptures on differing attitudes. Attitudes what a difference they make in every part of our lives! Different attitudes of cashiers under certain circumstances. Good cashiers: Friendly, pleasant, courteous, smiling If situation ...read more

    Do You Love Me?

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on May 3, 2025
     | 777 views

    Jesus does not first ask for your work, offering, or position. He first asks for your heart. Love is the root of every fruitful walk with God. Like Peter, you may have failed before, but Jesus still asks today: “Do you love Me?”

    DO YOU LOVE ME? By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: John 21:15-21 "So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. He saith to him again the ...read more

    This little story is full of the tender, merciful heart of God as expressed through the actions of Jesus.

    Passage: Matthew 8:14-17 Intro: When I saw this little passage coming, I wondered if I should just skip it. 1. not much going on, minor healings without any dialogue. 2. but what a mistake that would have been, because this passage reveals some really beautiful things about Jesus. 3. and ...read more

    We LET GO of Sin…Self…Schedule in order that we can LET GOD be exalted! I used this sermon as a springboard for See You At The Pole. We also used alot of video illustrations.

    Comfort in the certainty of God's Word.

    COMFORT YE… Isaiah 40:1-11. We have before us a passage which may well be very familiar to us: yet please do not allow its very familiarity to breed contempt. This is a little Gospel, a sort of proto-Gospel written by the prophet many years before the event. Our task is to ask Isaiah concerning ...read more

    About how Paul’s understanding of ambition challenges our own ambitions.

    Begin with question: Are you an ambitious person? (or What do you think of when you think of ambition?) May cause some mixed feelings… because the idea of ambition conjure up and capture very different things. Ambition isn’t something we have to be taught… • Don’t have to put ambition in ...read more

     | 20,063 views

    The attitude of a Christian should mirror the attitude of Jesus.

    Text: “Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus” (Philippians 2:5). All of us have an attitude. Sometimes our attitude is positive and brings about a good outlook and sometimes it is negative and projects a bad image for the rest of the day. A positive attitude will put a smile ...read more

    In this sermon we look at three points about God: 1. God Shows Jonah His SOVEREIGNTY 2. God Shows Jonah His PERSISTENCE 3. God Shows Jonah His COMPASSION

    Great God's - Great Fish Do you recall that back in the first sermon in the series I mentioned - Jonah is not the hero of the story. God is! At the beginning of the story Jonah is running from God; at the end of the story Jonah is arguing with God. In between Jonah is praying to God and Jonah is ...read more
