Third Commandment (3 Of 12)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022

The Jews of old usually gave their children names that had meaning. Today we give our children names and have no idea what they mean, we go more by how they sound. Some do not even go by sound.

Second Commandment (2 Of 12)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022

As we preach through this series on the commandments I would like to remind you again of the importance of the importance of considering just why God gave these commandments to children of Israel.

They had been in cruel bondage for four hundred and thirty years. Then God freed them from that bondage. God reminds them of that in verse 2, we read, “I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.” Isn’t it amazing, if I do you a big ...read more

Preaching From Philippians # 12

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 28, 2021

All the nations on earth desire to have peace, but as you know, all nations do not have peace. There is a reason for that. For example, many Americans discovered during the Iraq war that peace comes at a high price. This is difficult for many Americans to comprehend because of two reasons:

(1) As Americans, we are used to watching Clint Eastwood ride into town on a horse, and in one hour clean up the meanest town in the west. We wonder why the United States military can’t do the same in one hour! (2) Americans see other nations are having wars on their streets, but we have never ...read more
