     | 162 views

    We are all known for something!!!

    Let me illustrate… Illus: This makes me think of a man who was known to be the ugliest man in his town. This man would walk to work each day, and he had to walk by a pet shop each day. And the owner of the shop placed a parrot outside of the pet shop on a stand to greet the people who walked pass ...read more

    From Mission Impossible To Mission Possible

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 21, 2026
     | 125 views

    One of the simple rules in life seems to be that people receive in life what they are looking for.

    For example: • We know some people who are always getting into a fight or a dispute with someone, no matter where they go. Why? Because they go around looking for trouble and they find it! • We know some people who go to church, and every time there is a church dispute, you can rest ...read more

    "Let’s Go To The Potter’s House”

    based on 1 rating
     | 453 views

    In years past when we as a child misbehave our dad took us out behind the barn to teach us a lesson we needed to be taught. God did something different when he wanted to teach Israel a lesson, he took them to the Potter’s house to teach them a lesson.

    Before any problem can be solved we must find the CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM!!! Illus: From an article in Reader’s Digest: A friend of mine awoke one morning to find a puddle of water in the middle of his king-size waterbed. In order to fix the puncture, he rolled the heavy mattress outdoors and filled ...read more

    The Glory Of The Church

     | 106 views

    Every time we approach a national election we hear a great deal about the electoral college. Why do we have and Electoral College?

    The Electoral College was established to balance the power between the states and the federal government. (1)No single state could dominate the election process. Illus: For example, three or four swing states could get together an elect a president because of their large population. (2)The ...read more

    In The Year 2026 "Be Ye Kind, Tenderhearted, Forgiving One Another!

     | 390 views

    I want to ask you a question; did you know we all can be good at something if we practice it enough?

    Illus: Dr. Odell Belger tells how that an elderly man attended his church drove HIS CAR for sixty years and never had a driver’s license. • He said one time he was pulled over and the patrolman asked to see his license and he told him truthfully, HE DID NOT HAVE THEM WITH HIM! And the patrolman ...read more

    This Could Be The Year (2026) Of The Lord’s Coming

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 31, 2025
     | 825 views

    I title this sermon “This Could Be the Year of The Lord’s Coming.” Please notice, I did not foolishly say “This would be the year the Lord is coming back for His church.” But I did say, This Could Be the Year of The Lord’s coming back for His Church.

    Text: The Bible tells us in Matthew 24:36, “But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.” But it is obvious today that the lost world is not looking for Christ to return anytime soon. HOW DO WE KNOW THAT? Because they would not be living like ...read more

    A New You For A New Year!

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 31, 2025
     | 636 views

    At New Year many people reflect on a desire to change some perceived troubled area of their lives. So, they make some New Year resolutions they are going to make some changes in their life this coming year…

    • Lose some weight, • Learn a language, • Focus on learning a new skill or hobby, • Some feel stifled in a career and looking for a new opportunity, • Some recognize their spiritual emptiness and resolve to attempt to “know God” or “become more spiritual” in the coming year. As we ...read more

    Connecting To God Through Prayer And Fasting

     | 161 views

    Have you ever thought about what it would be like to see and talk to the President of the United States? This would be a great honor but could prove to be a very difficult assignment, if not impossible!’

    • You would have to first get through some of the tightest security in the U.S. • Even if you did get past them you would have to get past a professional staff that is trained to keep people like you and I from invading the White House • If you made it to the White House you would have to ...read more

    God Uses The Ordinary To Do The Extraordinary

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 24, 2025
     | 304 views

    It is amazing how some things never change. For example, when Christ was here on earth they had two kinds of men, as we have today. • They had the ordinary man • They had the extraordinary man

    It never ceases to amaze me the people that God chooses to do His work. Such as… (1) David. In 1 Samuel 16:1-12 we read how… • Saul had been rejected as king and God sent Samuel to anoint a new king. Vs. 1-3 • Samuel went. Vs. 4-5 • Jesse and his sons were summoned to the sacrifice vs ...read more

    "Occupy Till Come”

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 18, 2025
     | 239 views

    In the parable of the distribution of pounds, in Luke 19:13, Jesus tells us how Christians should live until He returns. • He tells believers to OCCUPY TILL HE COMES!

    Also, this verse of scripture tells us how long we are to OCCUPY….UNTIL HE COMES. This phrase comes from a parable in Luke 19:12-27 called “The Parable of the Pounds”. Jesus told this story because the people thought He was on earth to set up His kingdom right then. Jesus wanted them to ...read more

    "The Forgotten Man Of Christmas,” (Christmas Sermon)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 17, 2025
     | 655 views

    Today like ministers across this great nation I want to preach a sermon about Christmas. But in this Christmas sermon I feel led to take a different approach from most sermons that are being preached today. Today I want to preach about THE FORGOTTEN MAN OF CHRISTMAS!!!

    Text: Introduction: • Generally, Mary the mother of Jesus is the focus of attention normally in a Christmas sermon. • But there is another individual that is equally important in the Christmas story, and I want to focus on JOSEPH, THE EARTHLY FATHER OF OUR LORD JESUS. THE FORGOTTEN MAN ...read more

    What The Bible Teaches About Prayer

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 13, 2025
     | 192 views

    During the days of the apostle Paul, there were no Bible colleges and seminaries as we have today to train young ministers as we have.

    Illus: When a young man felt God was calling him into the ministry, we take it for granted that if he can, he will go to Bible college and seminary and get all the training that is available. But those who start late in life into the ministry they are not able to do this because they already have ...read more

    "It Is Good For Me That I Have Been Afflicted..."

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 11, 2025
     | 256 views

    I have taken the title of this sermon from my text In Psalm 119:71. In which we read, “It is good for me that I have been afflicted..." Now what rational man would say such a thing? “It is good for me that I have been afflicted..."

    Paul basically said such a thing also in a different way in Romans 8:28 and we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. “ALL THINGS” includes the good and the bad. But it is difficult sometimes to understand IT IS GOOD ...read more

    The Road To Hell... Where Does It Lead?

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 5, 2025
     | 306 views

    The title of my sermon is asking a question, the question is, the road to hell, where does it lead? This will not be a Joel Osteen sermon. I will show you from the Word of God the answer to that question, “the road to hell, where does it lead” in a few minutes.

    But I want to ask you another question, how did the Lord Jesus preach His sermons when He was here on earth? We do not have to do any surmising, to find the answer to that question, all we have to do is turn to the scriptures. How? It depended on who He was preaching too… (1)HE PREACHED SOFT ...read more

    An elderly couple was looking forward to Thanksgiving. They hardly ever saw their children. They had make plans to have them for Thanksgiving.

    However, right before Thanksgiving one by one they began to call from another town that they were sorry they would not be able to come. But the elderly man told his sad wife, Honey, do not worry they will all be here I promise!!! He had this idea to get them there. • A couple of days before ...read more
