Lifting Up A Standard

The God Who Defends His Name Series

Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Aug 8, 2025

The Great Value Of The Lord’s Supper

Contributed by Rick Crandall on Mar 26, 2013

The Lord’s Supper is important for us because: 1. It helps us reexamine our lives (vs. 27-32). 2. It helps us remember what Jesus did for us on the cross (vs. 23-25). 3. It helps us reveal the truth about Jesus Christ (vs. 26).

The Lord Needs It - Palm Sunday

Contributed by Tim Melton on Mar 15, 2021

In Luke 19:31-34 we see a man give permission for Jesus to use his donkey. In this small act, he was able to play a role in what God was doing on the earth. Will we surrender all because "the Lord needs it" and be a tool in His hand as well?

Have you ever been in a situation where you really needed some help? The situation had just gotten out of hand. It was too difficult, too painful, you were trapped and there was nothing you could do about it. You really needed someone who could come into your situation and make things right. That ...read more

Keeping The Altar Burning

Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jun 14, 2025

"Surely The Arm Of The Lord Is Not Too Short To Save …"

Contributed by Dr. Abraham Obadare on Feb 6, 2018

God is able to do anything for us; It is our sins that separate us from Him, but if we repent, His hands are not too short that He cannot save us.

This teaching is based on my understanding of Isaiah 59:1from the Spirit of God. Depending on the translation you use, the word 'Surely' may mean: Certainly; Listen; Behold; See; Look; etc. Speaking of the arm of the Lord, it is the power of God. We hear God saying to Moses in Num. 11:23 that His ...read more
