    This is a short Sermon I used for a Sunday night and focused on Jesus in the Garden and the choice He made for us

    There’s a moment every firefighter knows — when the alarm sounds, and you have to decide whether you’re willing to run toward what everyone else is running away from. I’ll never forget one particular call years ago. We arrived to find a house fully engulfed in flames. On the porch stood a woman, ...read more

    The Blessed Merciful

    Contributed by Douglas Phillips on Apr 12, 2018
     | 7,050 views

    MERCY IS SOMETHING THAT IS IN SHORT SUPPLY IN OUR WORLD TODAY, AND I WOULD DARE SAY IN THE CHURCH. MERCY AND FORGIVENESS IS SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE SHOWERED ON US, BUT DON’T ASK US TO DO THE SAME FOR SOMEONE ELSE. IT’S NOT IN OUR NATURE.

    THE BLESSED MERCIFUL PSALM 103 MUCH OF JESUS’ TEACHING IN THE BEATITUDES EITHER COMES DIRECTLY FROM, OR IS CLOSELY RELATED TO THE OLD TESTAMENT. SUCH IS THE CASE WITH THE BEATITUDE WE ARE STUDYING TODAY CONCERNING THE MERCIFUL. MERCY IS SOMETHING THAT IS IN SHORT SUPPLY IN OUR WORLD TODAY, AND I ...read more

    Victory In The Valley Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jul 21, 2025
     | 433 views

    Victory in the valley is not the absence of battle, but the presence of God in the midst of it. It is in the valley that we learn to trust Him more deeply, see His rod and staff bring comfort, and witness His power to bring us out stronger than before.

Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Psalm 23:4 Supporting Texts: Isaiah 43:2; 2 Corinthians 4:8-9; Romans 8:37; Micah 7:8; Job 14:7-9 INTRODUCTION: Life is filled with mountaintop experiences and valley moments.

    A look at the "wise men" and what we can learn today as modern wise men and women

    I guess that male bashing is the order of the day in some circles and now it’s reached even to the three wise men. Recently, I saw something that suggested that if the wise men had been women, things would have been different and better. First, if the wise men had been women, they ...read more

    I know you have a Scripture in mind that you believe actually states that "God won't give you more than you can handle", but that is not what the Bible says.

    Last week we began a series entitled: “THE BIBLE DOESN’T SAY THAT”, looking at some popular sayings that many BELIEVE are found in the Bible, but are not. 1. The first one we studied last week was: “God wants me to be happy.” (If you missed that lesson, you can listen to it in the ...read more

    A sermon about learning to trust in God.

    "Learning to Fly" Isaiah 40:21-31 The late Tom Petty has a song where he sings: “I’m learning to fly, but I don’t have wings.” Learning to fly is a metaphor for learning to live.

    What To Do When Bad Things Happen To God's People

    Contributed by Richard A. Bradley on Mar 5, 2012
    based on 19 ratings
     | 16,592 views

    God's people often ask "Why has this happened to me?" However, God is not so much interested in why as "what." In this fallen world we cannot prevent bad things from happening. What we do in response to them is another question.

    WHEN BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOD’S PEOPLE? Acts 16:25-34 25 But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. 26 Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the ...read more
