    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jun 30, 2025
     | 349 views

    Depression and mental battles are not foreign to Scripture or to God. He cares, He listens, and He heals. The Church must be a place of restoration, where the emotionally broken are embraced and helped, not judged.

    Two Ways To Pray, One Effective, The Other Not So Much

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 21, 2025
     | 246 views

    Our Gospel from St. Luke is the only place in the NT where we can find this parable of the Pharisee and the Publican, or tax-collector. Both go up to the Temple to pray.

    Thirtieth Sunday Integral 2025 The deuterocanonical book of Sirach, a late work in Hebrew that survived only in Gk, is kind of a long reflection on the entire OT. It was used by the Church to help new barbarian members understand the moral law and the road to virtuous living so much that it was ...read more

    A Miraculous Birth Youth Sermon

    based on 5 ratings
     | 675 views

    Just like Mary, we are chosen to be dwelling places for God. However, we often face obstacles of unworthiness, unbelief, and unwillingness that hinder the Holy Spirit's work in our lives.

    In the Bible, Luke tells us that the Holy Spirit did something amazing in Mary. She became pregnant with Jesus, even though she was a virgin. She was just a regular girl, but she became the mother of Jesus. That's like pulling a rabbit out of a hat, right? And just like Mary, God wants to do ...read more

    Explore the concept of idolatry, not just as the worship of physical idols, but as anything that takes the place of God in our lives, and to guide us in identifying, eliminating, and finding freedom from such forms of idolatry.

    Good morning, beloved family in Christ. Today, we're going to tackle a topic that is as old as humanity itself and yet, it is as current as the news on your phone. We'll be talking about idolatry. Now, you might be thinking, "Idolatry? Isn't that about bowing down to golden calves and such? I don't ...read more

     | 8,123 views

    Abram and Sarai are desperate for an heir. So desperate, in fact, that they are willing to try anything...and, do. As life spins out of control the impact of their poor choices affects more than just their own relationship. But, God shows up as a searching and seeking God.

    A Runaway Is Found, A Poor Decision Is Exposed, And Faithful People are Tested. Text: Genesis 16: 1-16 16 Sarai, Abram’s wife, hadn’t yet produced a child. She had an Egyptian maid named Hagar.

    We don’t have to guess how to live a life of faith as we face life’s hardships. God’s Word lays out a simple plan for getting from a problem to a miraculous solution. It doesn’t matter if you’ve been a Christian for fifty years or if you were born again f

    Introduction: Are you frustrated by the struggles in your life? Do you feel like giving up because you’re just not seeing the miracles you need so desperately? Jesus said that in this world we would have trouble. But praise God, that’s not all He said. He also admonished us, “Cheer up! I have ...read more

    Courage does not always ROAR! Sometimes real courage finds a quiet place, and rest, and listens for the quiet voice at the ending of the day, and purpose within the heart, "I WILL TRY AGAIN TOMORROW!"

    Just before Jesus returned to his rightful place in Heaven there were final things he wanted to do for his disciples. He still offers to do these for his followers today.

    A Study of the Book of Luke Sermon # 70 “Final Instructions” Luke 24:36-53 It was an almost impossible situation that the eleven remaining disciples (after Judas’ death) faced as they met in private to discuss the plan for their next move.

    Many people are searching for life. They are asking, "Why am I here?" "What is life all about?" The problem is they’re searching in the wrong places. Only Jesus has the answer.

    “I’d Rather Have Jesus” John 14:1-7 A couple weeks ago I was talking to a young father and mother with a four year old in their home. He designs computer chips and chip boards in his home as an independent contractor. In our discussion I made reference to the uniqueness of Jesus Christ and ...read more

    Do you feel God has placed you on a shelf because of something you’ve done? Never forget that you are serving the God, not only of a second chance, but countless chances.

    For some of you, it was all you could do to even come here today. You failed over and over. You had such a bad week or month that you really didn’t even want to show up today. We sometimes want to give up because of · the regularity of our sin (“I just can’t seem to stop!”), · the reproach of ...read more
