    It's Up To You!

    Contributed by Melvin Newland on Feb 26, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 20,987 views

    Why does Satan lie & deceive & tempt & manipulate? And the answer is, "Because he doesn't have the power to force us to sin." If he could force you to sin there would be no need for temptation or manipulation."

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK TEXT: Genesis 3:8-13; 1 Corinthians 10:13; 2 Corinthians 5:9-10 A. The first 2 verses of Genesis tell us that in the beginning our world was formless, empty & dark. But then God gave shape to the formless, brought light into the ...read more

    Maintaining Purity In A Sinful World

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jan 26, 2025
     | 997 views

    Living in a world filled with temptation, immorality, and sin, maintaining purity as believers can feel like a constant challenge. The pressures of society, media, and peer influence often pull us away from God’s standards of holiness. However, as Christians, we are called to live pure lives.

    Title: MAINTAINING PURITY IN A SINFUL WORLD By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 1 Peter 1:15-16 "But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy." Supporting Texts: Romans 12:2; Matthew 5:8; 1 ...read more

    When Man Takes God's Glory

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jul 18, 2025
     | 212 views

    The temptation to take God’s glory is ever present in ministry, business, or personal success. Yet the Word of God consistently warns us against this prideful act. When man takes the glory, he incurs the wrath of God, cuts off divine favour, and limits the flow of grace.

    WHEN MAN TAKES GOD'S GLORY By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Acts 12:21-23 Supporting Texts: Isaiah 42:8, Daniel 4:30-37, Romans 1:21, Proverbs 16:18, 1 Corinthians 1:29-31 INTRODUCTION: One of the greatest dangers in the Christian life and ministry is the subtle temptation to take credit ...read more

    There is a quiet temptation at the turn of every year: to carry forward the weight of what has already been lived. Regrets, disappointments, unresolved griefs, and even past successes can cling to our hearts like heavy luggage. Yet God’s word through Isaiah is clear and co

    A Summary Of The Law, And A Question Of Identity

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 6, 2014
    based on 7 ratings
     | 8,711 views

    Often men are more interested in proving the prowess of their own religious party, rather than listening to Jesus. There are times when we need to stop speaking, stop questioning, and start listening to what God is saying in His Word.

    A SUMMARY OF THE LAW, AND A QUESTION OF IDENTITY. Matthew 22:34-46. This section begins with the Pharisees gathered together with just one malicious desire. They had heard Jesus “putting the Sadducees to silence” (Matthew 22:34), and yet they still imagined that they could outwit Him with ...read more

    Sexual Immoraity In America

    Contributed by Steve Greene on Feb 4, 2020
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,548 views

    One of the clearest indicators of rebellion against God is the blatant rejection of God's guidelines for sex. When we sin sexually, we hurt ourselves, we hurt others, and we break the heart of God.

    We are ALL broken people born into a broken world. The evidence of that brokenness often shows up most obviously in the area of our sexuality. So many people—professing Christians included—are willing to give their heart to God, but it seems like they want Him to stay out of their bedroom and out ...read more

     | 5,019 views

    This sermon covers, "Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil." The main emphasis is on "deliver us from evil." Many Christians boldly and repeatedly boast that, "We are all sinners." So, can God really deliver us from evil (sin) or can't He?

    Please continue standing as we read what is most commonly known as “The Lord’s Prayer” Matthew 6:9-13 (KJV) “Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. ...read more

    We have been talking about some of the things in life that set us back. We've talked about betrayal, temptation, the injustices of life, just plain hard times, and bitterness. When we are involved in any of these, we tend to become plagued with guilt and grudges.

    For the past couple of months we have been talking about some of the things in life that set us back. We've talked about betrayal, temptation, the injustices of life, just plain hard times, and bitterness. Today I'm going to wrap all of this up as we talk about what these things can ...read more

    Tested In The Wilderness Youth Sermon

    Contributed by Youth Sermons on Sep 4, 2023
    based on 4 ratings
     | 987 views

    Jesus faced temptation in the wilderness after fasting for forty days. Each time Satan tempted Him, Jesus responded with scripture, choosing to rely on God alone. When we face testing in our own lives, we can stand firm in our faith and trust in God's provision.

    Imagine you're in the middle of a desert, no food, no water, and you've been there for 40 days. You're starving, thirsty, and all alone. Suddenly, a guy shows up offering you all the food and water you could ever want, but there's a catch. You have to do something that goes against everything you ...read more
