…the Good Hand Of His God Upon Him

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 9, 2021

Today in this sermon, we want to turn our attention to a very special man. His name is Ezra. He is one of those fellows you do not hear a great deal about, but yet he was a giant among men in the spiritual world.

Ezra was a priest, but he was not able to serve in the temple because the temple had been destroyed. This could be why we do not hear a lot about Ezra. He was not a temple priest. Ezra is noted for other things, such as: • He studied the Word of God. In Ezra 7:6, we read that he was, “A ready ...read more

"...he Shall Receive A Reward"

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 13, 2021

In chapters one and two, the apostle Paul laid the foundation for us to build our Christian lives on. WHAT A FOUNDATION HE LAID! That foundation is Christ.

Paul is not bashful in the slightest about telling us about the Lord. Look at Colossians 2:10. We read, “And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power.” These false teachers had been trying to tell people that Christ is not sufficient within Himself, but Paul says ...read more
