    The God of Mephibosheth is a God of restoration, a God who lifts up the fallen, and a God who will not forget His promises to us. He is a God of grace and mercy, who calls us to His table even when we feel unworthy.

Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 2 Samuel 9:1-13 Supporting Texts: 2 Samuel 4:4, Psalm 68:6, Romans 5:8, Matthew 25:34 INTRODUCTION: The story of Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan and grandson of King Saul, is a powerful narrative of grace, restoration, and unexpected ...read more

    Not The Jesus They Wanted Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 10, 2021
    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,084 views

    The crowds were looking for a Christ who would "remain" and lead them into glorious earthly kingdom, but Jesus was talking about being "lifted up" and not being with them forever. The Jesus they wanted wasn't the Jesus they were getting.

    I’m told these were actual answers that children gave in Sunday School: “Noah’s wife was called Joan of Ark.” “The epistles were the wives of the apostles.” “Moses got the 10 Commandments at Mt. Cyanide.” “King Solomon had 700 wives and 300 porcupines.” “The men who followed the Lord were called ...read more

    The Ultimate Christian Attainment: Union With God Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Jun 19, 2024
     | 917 views

    We do not easily submit to all this burning up of dross within us. We do not want to be buried with Christ in his cross and alive with Christ in His resurrection. We naturally resist the death of self. Yet God helps us submit to the refiner's fire.

    Many great saints I’ve known, even in the Salvation army, many are retiring now, and they say that when they retire, they are grateful that God did not show them the entire path all the ups and downs because they would not have been able to handle the thought of it. But step by step, along the ...read more

    Ephesus had been a great church, but now it had lost it's first love for Jesus. If it happened to them, how can we make sure it doesn't happen to us?

    OPEN: Someone once asked a bunch of elementary aged children what they thought about love. Glenn, age 7: If falling love is anything like learning how to spell, I don’t want to do it. It takes too long. Regina, age 10 agrees: I’m not rushing into love. I’m finding fourth grade ...read more

    Desperate Housewives And Their Spouses

    Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Jan 15, 2006
    based on 14 ratings
     | 5,621 views

    Successful marriages are built on: 1. Self-giving, rather than self-fulfillment. 2. Building each other up, rather than tearing each other down. 3. Continual growth, rather than taking the relationship for granted.

    Henry David Thoreau, the writer and naturalist, once said, “Most men lead quiet lives of desperation.” If you believe television, most housewives do as well. In the show, Desperate Housewives, Susan Mayer, Lynette Scavo , Bree Van De Kamp, Gabrielle Solis and Edie Britt lead us through a ...read more

    All true churches are made up of Christians who want to see the hand of God working first in their lives, so they can be made usable to Him. Second, they want to be empowered by the Holy Spirit so they can fulfill their part in the “Great Commission.”

    Turn Your Bibles to 1 Corinthians 3:6,8-9 Title: Controlling Desires Theme: Beware of Becoming a Controlling Laborer Series: Laboring Together With God Introduction: A God-loving, Word-filled disciple-maker will be more concerned about his spiritual heart than about any unpleasant ...read more

    In this lesson, we are going to study a lady of great character and intelligence – her name is Abigail. All we know about her is summed up in this one chapter, yet she comes through as one of the most notable women in the Old Testament!

    Introduction: The Bible is full of great stories!

    In our day and time we are fastly losing the landmarks which were set before us. Men fought and die for what they believed to right. When this country was founded there were certain landmarks which were set up by our forefathers.

    One fact that many Christians would prefer to forget is that "All who live Godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution."

    Looking at the story of the feeding of the 5,000 we find it is a little boy’s "happy meal" that is offered up to Jesus to meet the needs of the crowd. When we offer what little we have to Jesus amazing things can happen!

    Is our God too small? Do we labor under misconceptions about what he is really like? Isn’t it time that we seek to be more like God and give up trying to make him more like us?

    The Holy Spirit has been poured out. The disciples proclaim God’s word with clarity and boldness. Their proclamation is centred on Jesus Christ as the only way to God. They face opposition, but they’re enabled to stand up against that opposition as the Ho

    One of the things I’ve noticed since our last holidays is how often someone will say to us, "What were the highlights of your trip." You do lots of things on a four week holiday but only some of them are highlights. That’s one of the things you realise as you get your photos back from processing. ...read more
