    Acts Of The Apostles 35 Of 39

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022
     | 1,682 views

    In Acts twenty-four we find the apostle Paul is being held in custody as a common criminal, waiting for his accusers to arrive, and is to appear before Antonius Felix, the governor of Judaea.

    Felix was a politician in every sense of the word. He had risen from being a subservient person, to the position of Governor of Judaea. He got his start through the influence of his brother at the imperial court of Claudius. He married three Princesses, which also elevated his career. The first ...read more

    Paul was warned several times against going to Jerusalem, but he felt he must.

    Yes, Paul had been warned and the words of the warning came true. He was bound and made prisoner. In chapter 23, we read of his defense in the presence of the council. We read of: I. THE ABUSE A. HIS CONDUCT Verse 1, "And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and ...read more

    Acts Of The Apostles # 30 Of 39

    Paul had been having great success, especially in Ephesus.

    He was now making every effort to go back to Jerusalem. He had been seeing Gentiles saved by the scores, and no doubt he began to think of his own Jewish people, who were lost without Christ, and wanted to go back and share the gospel with them. Illus: One of the frustrations that we Christians ...read more

    In chapter fifteen we have reached the fourth major turning point in the book of Acts.

    (1) The first major turning point was when the Church was filled with the Holy Ghost in Acts, chapter 2. (2) The second major turning point was when the Christian Church was able to convert the apostle Paul from Judaism in Acts 9. (3) The third major turning point, was when the Christian ...read more

     | 1,928 views

    When God miraculously opened the door for the gentiles to be saved, it was an exciting time for His church.

    God selected Paul and Barnabas to carry out His first missionary assignment. They were not self-appointed, nor were they appointed by men. As they were serving the Lord, the Holy Ghost called them out, saying, “Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work...” They were APPOINTED BY GOD, SENT BY ...read more

    Today we want to start a series of sermons on the book of Acts.

    The church that wants to please the Lord needs to look frequently into the pages of this marvelous, exciting book! The Lord promised that the “Gates of hell” should not prevail against His church, and the Book of Acts reveals that to be true. Illus: J. B. Phillips says this about those ...read more

    She Called Him Ichabod!!! (Mother’s Day Sermon)

    This is a special day set aside to honor our mothers, and grandmothers, because we love them so deeply.

    Often a mother’s assignment in life is very difficult. Now if anything negative can be said about mothers, it would be about the names they give their children. I personally think they should pass a law that allows a child that reaches the age of 10 or 12, to have a chance to select the name that ...read more

    Repent Or Perish

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 18, 2022
     | 2,774 views

    What is Jesus’s teaching about “repent or perish” telling us? Is it not the same as saying choose life or choose death? Today we will talk about tragedy and repentance.

    REPENT OR PERISH Text: Luke 13:1-9 Luke 13:1- 9 At that time, some people who were there told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.  (2)  He asked them, "Do you think that these Galileans were more sinful than all the other Galileans because ...read more

    The Book Of Joshua 3 Of 9

     | 1,950 views

    In chapter 1, we find that Moses died and the Lord has chosen Joshua to take his place.

    Because Moses became angry and struck the rock, he was deprived of the privilege of leading the people of God into the Promised Land. Sin has deprived some of God’s choice servants of their greatest blessings. Sometimes the things God does in righteousness, wisdom and justice, seem blatantly ...read more

    Always Remain Watchful Series

    The two parables here serve to caution us about slacking off in kingdom work. We need to keep our waist girded and be ready for service; and be alert and watchful at all times, so we don’t miss opportunities to share the love of Christ.

    This evening’s message is entitled “Always Remain Watchful,” and it’s taken from two short parables commonly called “The Parable of the Faithful and Evil Servant” and “The Parable of the Thief.” In these two short parables Jesus spoke a word about faithfulness; the kind of faithfulness that leads ...read more

    Psalm 116:15 “Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.”

    Today we all find ourselves emotionally torn in two ways: None of us want to be here today at this service! Absolutely none of us! Yet, we want to be here because our love for _______ compels us to be here! We would not want to be anywhere but here! We go through life putting off many things! ...read more

     | 1,864 views

    One of the good things about the Gospel of Mark is the way that he gives us a continuous flow of information in the life of Christ. For example:

    • In Mark 1:21, we read, “And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught.” • After he got through in the synagogue, he left Capernaum to go to Peter’s house and He healed Peter’s mother-in-law and many more. • But as we come to chapter ...read more

    When Mary used that pint of expensive perfume on Jesus, she was expressing how thankful she was of what Jesus had done for her. Today, we will talk about gratitude and grace.

    John 12:1-8  Six days before the Passover Jesus came to Bethany, the home of Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.  (2)  There they gave a dinner for him. Martha served, and Lazarus was one of those at the table with him.  (3)  Mary took a pound of costly perfume made ...read more

    Relying On The Work Of The Spirit

    When we bear witness to the saving power of Christ, we must rely on the Spirit to empower our efforts.

    Jesus had told them to wait—His first disciples, I mean. He had given them important work to do—the most important work of all, actually—but He had told them not to attempt it just yet. No. They were to wait. “Don’t give,” He said, “until you have received. Nothing can be done by you until ...read more
