    Before The Throne Of God (Revelation 4: 2-11)

     | 1,009 views

    How can anyone describe with our limited human vocabulary the glory and wonder of God's heaven? John's vision shows that God is in control of the events here on earth and will bring all of history to a conclusion on HIs terms.

    Revelation Chapter 4 opens with the apostle John being commanded to "come up here" (v.1). He is brought to the throne room of God Almighty in all of its glory and majesty. It is far more beautiful and magnificent than any kind of palace built for kings and emperors here on Earth. What ...read more

     | 1,127 views

    Reuben had a great destiny as the firstborn of Jacob, but his moral failure and instability led to his downfall. His life teaches us that position alone does not determine greatness—it is character, self-control, and responsibility that shape our destiny.

    CHARACTER STUDY OF REUBEN – FIRSTBORN OF JACOB By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Genesis 29:32 – “And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Surely the Lord hath looked upon my affliction; now therefore my husband will love me.” Supporting Texts: Genesis ...read more

    If we have been tempted to give up, to run away from our problems, then this is the psalm for us. Most of us have been where David was in this psalm—hard pressed by circumstances that are partly our own making but which have gotten beyond our control.

    The woman who anointed Christ regardless of what others knew or thought about her, and her act of love is memorialized by Christ. I believe that scripture shows us this woman has a name -- Mary the sister of Martha and Lazarus.

    By Pastor Milton O. Bradford, Good Hope Baptist Church Cleveland Ohio Luke 7:36-50 And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee’s house, and sat down to meat. And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at ...read more

    Jesus’ 4 thoughts on prayer: 1) we should pray constantly, persistently and fervently 2) but prayer is hard work 3) yet prayer taps into God’s power 4) so prayer is a reflection of our faith.

    Luke 18:1-8 – If Something is Worth Doing… Dear God, So far today I’ve done all right. I haven’t gossiped, I haven’t lost my temper, I haven’t been greedy, grumpy, nasty, selfish or over-indulgent. I’m very thankful for that.

    Not only are we saved by grace but we live by grace. I don’t know that you have ever thought about being sustained by God’s grace but I want you to understand more about this today.

    What must Mary have thought when she first opened the door and found a group of Iranian astrologers, there to celebrate the birth of her son? These characters seem so inappropriate in the Christmas narrative, but maybe that’s the point?

    The Xmas season is over! We’ve wished each other a Merry Xmas AND a Happy New Year, and now the festive season is PAST. The holidays (for most of us) are over.

    Everyone was hoping for, even expecting, the Messiah in Jesus’ day. But, he disappointed everyone, thought Messiah would come as a conqueror. Isaiah’s first Servant Song shows their expectations to have been badly misinformed.

    This sermon focuses on the thought that if God did keep a record of our sins, what would that list look like an how long would it be. Then looks at how we can stand before God, namely His forgivness.

    At school Little Tommy was told by a classmate that most adults are hiding at least one dark secret, and that this makes it very easy to blackmail them by saying, "I know the whole truth."

    "Whoredom and wine and new wine" (v. 11) are the sins that commonly accompany idolatry. These sins dull the sensitivity and understanding so that the people no longer wish to even retain God in their thoughts. Instead of consulting the God who made the tr
