    Consider Your Ways

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 25, 2022
     | 2,781 views

    I would like us to focus in on verse 7. We read, "Thus saith the lord of hosts; CONSIDER YOUR WAYS."

    The prophet Haggai had a message from God that he was to give unto the people of God. Notice, he wanted them to know how important this message was by introducing the message by saying, “Thus saith the Lord of hosts…” before he gave the message. In other words, he wanted them to know what he was ...read more

    In this sermon we will look at our REDEMPTION. (In the next two messages we will look at our REVELATION, and our REWARDS.)

    It is my prayer that by this time you are closer to the Lord. Illus: We do not have to be like the man who had been hired to paint lines on the highway. As the story goes, this man’s job consisted of painting the white lines in the highway. -The first day he painted three miles of lines. -The ...read more

    Perhaps you are familiar with NBC’s television show called, “Deal or No Deal!” Howie Mandel is the host.

    He puts before the contestants many brief cases that contain certain amounts of money, and many times throughout the program he asks the contestant, “Deal or no Deal?” What this show so often reveals is that many are willing to deal with the host of the program, but they do not always get what ...read more

    The Book Of Mark #57

    In 1858, the Illinois legislature, using an obscure statute, sent Stephen A. Douglas to the U.S. Senate instead of Abraham Lincoln, although Lincoln had won the popular vote.

    When a sympathetic friend asked Lincoln how he felt, he said he felt, “Like the boy who stubbed his toe: I am too big to cry and too badly hurt to laugh.” (Source unknown) All of us know that feeling. Life is filled with disappointments. Most of us will do anything to keep from having ...read more

    Years ago the Hallmark Card Company used to advertise extensively on television.

    They would show samples of the beautiful cards they produce and close each commercial with these words for potential buyers to consider, "When you CARE enough to send the VERY BEST!" The message was clear, even to children, that if you really CARED for someone you would be willing to ...read more

    Every parent knows the frustrations of working with children that cannot seem to recognize the need for some obvious guidance.

    For example, it seems sensible enough to us adults that we should sit down with a child and explain to that child that if he associates with bad company he is going to get into trouble, and that child should avoid bad company like the plague. But, it does not always work that way. You can tell ...read more

    An article in The Reader's Digest stated that a man who had throat cancer was cured by his doctor's treating him with strong doses of vitamin C.

    This was interesting because the man only received help when he received the strong dosages. In these sermons on soul winning we hope you are getting a "strong dosage" effect. It is the prayer of this pastor that by giving these "strong dosages" week after week that many of ...read more

    When you look at churches, you will see that there is a vast difference between them.

    One thing you will find common in most churches it that there is one basic thing missing. WHAT IS MISSING? Illus: Let me explain what is missing by telling you a story of a young boy who went to spend the week with his grandfather on the farm. • While walking around he noticed the chickens.

    Pilate's Wife

    It is surprising, and sad, that the only testimony (in effect) on Jesus’ behalf during the trial was made, not by any of Jesus’ disciples, nor apostles, nor followers, but by Pilate’s wife.

    Pilate's Wife Matt. 27:11-26 The chief priests with the elders and scribes and the whole council of the Sanhedrin had decided to put Jesus to death. They had Jesus brought before Pilate the governor to pronounce the death sentence. (Mark 15:1; Luke 22:66; 23:1) Pontius Pilate was the fifth ...read more

    God has called THE CHURCH TO REACH THE LOST. • There is no shortage of Church buildings today • There is a tremendous shortage of CHRISTIANS WHO ARE TRYING TO REACH THE LOST The Word of God says, in Matthew 9:37, “… The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few.” Illus: Several years ...read more

    In Genesis 12 and 13 we learn two valuable lessons.

    • In Genesis 12:10-20, Abraham is seen leaving Canaan (The Promised Land) during A TIME OF FAMINE to go to Egypt (a picture of the world). • In Genesis 13 we see Abraham recognizing his mistake of going to Egypt, and returning back to Canaan land.

    Stewardship (2of 4)

     | 1,070 views

    Today we want to look again at the scriptures to see what is required of us if we are to be good stewards.

    Our text says, “Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.” EVERYONE here today is a steward. That is, everyone here has been entrusted by God with certain things. We have... • Been entrusted with the gospel. • Been entrusted with talents. (Some more than others.) • Been ...read more

    Psalm 147:1-20 teaches us why we should praise the Lord.

    Scripture During this Season of Advent, we have been looking at “Christ’s Advent in the Psalms.” Today I want to conclude our study by looking at Psalm 147. One commentator notes that “the Book of Psalms began with ‘Blessed is the man’ (1:1) and it ends with a sustained, five-fold equivalent of ...read more

    We celebrate the birth of Christ, the only hope for this world, who gave his life for all mankind to rescue them from sin and death. And to everyone who believes in HIM, to them HE gives the promise of eternal life. This is the REAL Story of Christmas

    The Real Christmas Message* *I dislike the word "story" as in the Christmas "Story", as the word "story" gives a sense of fiction. CHRISTMAS IS A MESSAGE of TRUTH that needs to be told and heard around the world. Arranged by William Akehurst, HSWC We celebrate the ...read more
