     | 1,427 views

    A picture of the great claim of Jesus and the divided opinions about Him. It’s a picture that should cause every one of us to search our own response to Jesus.

    Tonight’s passage is a picture of the great claim of Jesus and the divided opinions about Him. It’s a picture that should cause every one of us to search our own response to Jesus. READ v.37. You might recognize these words of Jesus. He spoke similar words to the woman at the well. The Feast ...read more

    Failure To Understand The Light

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Aug 14, 2023
     | 799 views

    So, with all these claims that Jesus has made, we find that people of every generation blurt out the same question, “Who are you?” Well, Jesus answers that question.

    Tonight, we continue with Jesus’ discussion with the Pharisees. READ v. 25. Man asks a very basic question. Now Jesus had just made a phenomenal claim that He was the Light of the world. Of course, His claim shocked the Pharisees as well as others. And when you recap what Jesus had told these ...read more

    Emphasize the importance of claiming our belongingness to God, which shapes our connections within the church and helps us understand the difference between merely fitting in and truly belonging.

    Good morning, church family! Today, we're going to dive into a topic that many of us can relate to, especially in this digital age where it's easy to feel isolated and disconnected from others. I'm talking about the importance of claiming our belongingness to God and how that impacts our ...read more

    This sermon explores confronting sins, cleansing from unrighteousness, and claiming our kingdom inheritance through understanding and applying Paul's message in 1 Corinthians 6:1-11.

    Good morning, beloved family of God, gathered here today in this sacred space, where the presence of our Lord is palpable and His grace is abundant.

    Jesus has validated John’s life and his ministry and told His audience, “This is what you have been waiting for. Now, pay very close attention to what I am saying to you. Mark my words: it is absolutely critical that you get this!”

    The Messiah And The Prophet – Part 3 Whoever Has Ears To Hear… Matthew 11:15 Several centuries ago, a learned German philosopher began investigating a new philosophy coming out of Japan.

    Maintaining Spiritual Fire Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on May 23, 2025
     | 160 views

    A believer without fire is like a lamp without oil, a car without fuel, or a soldier without weapons. Your spiritual fire is what keeps you alive and effective in a hostile world. The instruction in Leviticus 6:13 is still valid today: your fire must never go out.

    MAINTAINING SPIRITUAL FIRE By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Leviticus 6:13 Supporting Texts: Romans 12:11, Revelation 3:15-16, 2 Timothy 1:6, Acts 2:1-4, Matthew 25:8 INTRODUCTION: Spiritual fire refers to the passion, zeal, and burning desire for God and His kingdom. It symbolises divine ...read more

    Nothing compares to God. But as strange as it may seem, God’s Win-Loss record seems not clean. Because there’s a man by the name of Jacob who claimed to have seen God face to face, was in a wrestling match with God, and even defeated God.

    Nothing compares to God. He is Omnipresent, (always everywhere). Omniscient (all knowing). Omnipotent (all powerful). He is transcendent (he is beyond and above us and our understanding of this world) But as strange as it may seem, God’s Win-Loss record seems not clean. Because there’s a ...read more

    Christ—the Light Of The World Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Sep 8, 2017
     | 16,689 views

    “I am the light of the world” is the highest claim that He has made so far in the Gospel of John. One of the definitions of God is that He is light (see 1 John 1:5). He is absolute in His holiness and in His justice.

    Jerusalem Lesson: Christ—The Light of the World John 8:12-20 Jesus had a method that He often followed. After an incident or a miracle, He gives a discourse on that subject. (John 8:12) Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk ...read more

     | 5,655 views

    In this sermon we see that there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus because we have been delivered from the flesh.

    Scripture The first verse of the greatest chapter in the Bible—Romans 8:1—says, “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Everything else that follows in the rest of Romans 8 tells us why there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

    Maslow claims that our physical needs for food, water etc. are the most basic and fundamental. But the Bible tells us that our spiritual needs are even more basic. And only Jesus, the Bread from heaven, can satisfy those needs.

    [Sermon preached on 11 March 2018, 4th Sunday in Lent / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] Recently, a survey was held in the US among people from all ethnic backgrounds, cultures, religions, social strata and walks of life.

     | 7,352 views

    All religious books claim to be the word of God, but prophecy sets the Bible apart as having God’s seal of authentication. This section looks at the destruction of Jerusalem and the prophecies that foretold it.

    The Destruction of Jerusalem (Part 6 of 6) At this point we should lay the historic foundation and take some time to look at the destruction of Jerusalem. After Jesus’ triumphant entry, He looked over Jerusalem and wept. Look at Luke 19 41 Now as He drew near, He saw the city and wept over it, 42 ...read more

    Are we taking what we prefer, or what we see as a good thing and entering into the Kingdom of God and claiming it as God’s will, when it is nothing but our own doing?

    Pile the kids in the car, hit the remote, garage door opens, and out you go on another drive. Grocery store. Hardware store. The bank. Costco. It is just a trip across town.

     | 4,565 views

    By making the claim to be the light of the world in the temple, Jesus was invoking images that we may have never thought of before. Here are the images of light that Jesus roused in the minds of His listeners.

    INTRO In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of ...read more
