    Many people claim to have ’made a decision for Christ’. But are they truly converted. Their perseverance will be the test

    I’m no carpenter. That’s the understatement of the year! But I understand that in carpentry there’s a term "clinching the nail". If I have it right: In rough work, a nail is driven through several boards so that the point of the nail sticks through the back. Then the workman gives a blow of the ...read more

    Jesus Takes Questions: Part 2 Series

     | 3,542 views

    Allow me to set the scene. It’s Tuesday, just seventy-two hours away from His death and about sixty-four hours away from Judas’ famous kiss. So many items are going on Tuesday that we are devoting three Sundays to the happenings on Tuesday.

    This a three-month long study of just one week in the life of Jesus. The power of this week lies in all that happened. And it deserves both retelling and a careful scrutiny. Bracketed by Palm Sunday on one end and Easter Sunday on the other, this is the most important week in history. On Friday, ...read more

    We are in a critical hour—an hour when the true worshippers must rise and seek the face of God. Revival will not come to those who are passive, distracted, or indifferent. It will come to those who cry out, break up their fallow ground, live in righteousness, and seek the Lord with all their hearts.

Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Hosea 10:12 Supporting Texts: Isaiah 55:6-7, Psalm 63:1-2, Jeremiah 29:13, Amos 5:4, James 4:8 INTRODUCTION: We are living in a generation distracted by pleasures, pursuits, and pressures.

    Dominant Thought: True faith in Jesus sees beyond testing to the grace and reward of Jesus.

    Have you been watching the Olympics? There’s something about watching those great struggles that makes us want to do better at things, doesn’t it?

    Life itself is a series of tests. The moment we die or we are raptured, our days of sharing Jesus with others is over, and the testing is over as well. Are you ready to put your life's pencil down?

    Put Your Pencils Down When we were in school we all had to take exams. Call them what you want, quizzes, tests, finals, exams. But the really big, stressful tests were the timed tests. You had a certain amount of time in which you were to take your test, and then you were told "Put your pencils ...read more

    Trials And Temptations

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 25, 2024
     | 1,251 views

    God tested the Israelites in the desert to know what was in their hearts, and tested Abraham’s faith by asking him to sacrifice Isaac. God allows external hardships or difficult situations produce good qualities in us.

    Opening illustration: Illustrate the difference between Temptation and Trial. Introduction: In the New Testament, the same Greek word (peirazo) is used for trial, test, and temptation. The basic meaning of peirazo is to test something to determine its response, value, or character. When peirazo is ...read more

     | 5,013 views

    We look at the fifth test that proves if one really knows God. Are we guarding against antichrists?

    As we look at the seven tests that prove if we really know God we can get a little lost as I try to explain them. Kind of like the time when the husband stayed home while his wife went to church. When she got back he asked her what the preacher preached about. She said, “I don’t ...read more
