    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Mar 6, 2025
     | 1,132 views

    God is searching for vessels that He can use for His divine agenda. He is not looking for perfect people but for those who are willing to be purified, set apart, and surrendered to His will.

    BECOMING A VESSEL OF HONOUR By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 2 Timothy 2:21 "If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work."

     | 384 views

    David’s life was a mixture of great victories and serious failures, but his devotion to God remained constant. He was not perfect, but he was quick to repent and seek God’s mercy.

    Faithful Builders

    One would think that with Paul and Apollos being their foundation layer and builders, the church in Corinth would be near perfect. But here we are, reading about how imperfect they were.

    Faithful Builders 1Cor 3:5-23 One of the things I love about Paul’s letters to the Corinthians is that we’re shown a church that was pretty messed up. Despite the fact that Paul had planted this church, and then at some later date Apollos came and built upon what Paul had started, they still got ...read more

    While reminiscing can be comforting, it can also be misleading. The past wasn’t perfect — people had struggles, heartbreaks, and bad decisions just like we do now.

    (This is not an original sermon, it has been adapted for my style of delivery) TITLE: A ROMANCE WITH YESTERDAY SCRIPTURE: EXODUS 2:23 / NUMBERS 14:1-3 / PHILIPPIANS 3:13 Ever caught yourself longing for the good old days?

    The Source Of Great Joy

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Dec 17, 2023
     | 1,477 views

    Believers don't have to wait for everything to be good and perfect before we have joy because our ultimate source of joy comes from the Savior not the situation.

    Today we are in our second week of this Advent season and will be looking at Luke 2:8-12. Here, Luke records the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem. After He is born, the angels show up and share this good news of great joy to the humble shepherds in the field. Let’s look again at Luke 2:8-12: 8 And in ...read more

    The Book Of Galatians – Chapter 3:10-12 - Message 7 – The Law Will Not Justify But Faith Will Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Feb 16, 2024
     | 787 views

    Paul continues the great contrast of Law and faith and how justification is achieved. Those who claim to keep the Law must keep every tiniest part lest they break the whole Law. Remember the Law was given to Jews NOT to Gentiles who were never under the Law.

    THE BOOK OF GALATIANS – CHAPTER 3:10-12 - MESSAGE 7 – THE LAW WILL NOT JUSTIFY BUT FAITH WILL These messages in Galatians continue as we see the opposing sides of Law, and faith alone without the Law.

    Receiving God’s Grace

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,994 views

    There are many believers who know about grace in their mind, but they haven’t taken it to heart. God loves us for who we are, and we do not have to perform for Him or try to be perfect. All the Lord expects is that we simply be His.

    Jesus said, “If the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed” (Jn 8:36 NASB); but how many Christians are actually living as though they’re free? Some portray the look of a death row inmate awaiting the day of execution! There are believers living with regret over past mistakes and sins, and ...read more

    based on 41 ratings
     | 9,370 views

    Scripture has much to say about judging others. Should we refuse to decline to make any assessment of others since non of us is perfect? What does scripture say?

    Iliff and Saltillo UM Churches July 17, 2005 “What About Judging Others?” Matthew 7:1-12 James 4:11, 12 INTRODUCTION: In today’s scripture when Jesus said “judge not” was He wanting his disciples to close their eyes to all evil and error? Did he intend that managers forgo critical ...read more

    An old dog fell into a dry well. The farmer heard the dog yelping and went to look. He sympathized with his loyal dog, but decided that neither the dog nor the well were worth the trouble to save them. So, he hauled a large wagon of dirt to the well and, shovel by shovel, began to fill in the ...read more
