How King David Overcame Discouragement

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 24, 2022

A preacher who is nationally known made a statement before thousands of Christians. He said, “I never get discouraged!”

Now listen, I do not wish to be unkind, but I truly believe this man is being less than truthful to the thousands of people he was addressing. WHY DON’T I BELIEVE HIM? Some of the greatest men who ever walked on this earth have become discouraged from time to time. For example, the Bible reveals ...read more

Reuben & Gad's Request (Numbers 32)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Dec 10, 2024

Why did God destroy nations and allow Israel to take their land? Let's look at Numbers 32.

Before we judge God harshly, let’s ask ourselves some questions: Does God have an eternal plan for even innocent children? Is it merciful to allow children just to be sacrificed, or taught harmful practices, or do we trust God with a mysterious future not yet fully revealed? Is God perfectly loving ...read more

The Two Great Multitudes Youth Sermon

Contributed by Youth Sermons on Sep 5, 2023

God is merciful, wise, and in control. He has a plan for Israel and for people from every nation, tribe, people, and language.

Today we're diving back into the book of Revelation. It's like the ultimate spoiler alert for how the world ends. But don't worry, it's not all doom and gloom. In fact, it's pretty epic.

The Missing Family: The True Cost

Contributed by Terry Frazier on Sep 8, 2013

With the assault continuing on the nuclear, god ordained and created family, what is the cost to all of us as Americans? Almost all of the problems we have as a society can be traced back to the vanishing family especially the absentee fathers and mothers

What About His-Story?

Contributed by Tony Britt on Feb 6, 2002

Terrified, the white folks aboard didn’t know what to do. Someone suggested that they do what the black folks ...read more

A Pastoral Response To The Bombing In Bali Series

Contributed by Cameron Horsburgh on Oct 20, 2002

The terrorist attack in Bali came a week before I was to preach on the subject of murder, and a National Day of Mourning was declared for that Sunday. God does work in mysterious ways...

Over the last few weeks God has been showing me how his timing is always perfect. I became more convinced of this when I realised what sermon I had planned to preach today. In view of the events of the last week today’s passage seems to be the most appropriate in the Bible. The bombing in Bali ...read more

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 22, 2025

The enemy mocking and hissing at a defeated and downtrodden people was the delight of passers-by, but persecuted Christians suffer that today increasingly. It’s an ugly world when sin is in control. Wickedness these days is galloping. Do not oppose the Jew or Israel.

THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 10 – A DEFEATED NATION MOCKED AND HISSED AT – GOD’S WORD NEVER RETURNS EMPTY - CHAPTER 2:15-17 Jeremiah is sometimes called “the weeping prophet,” and I like to think of him as one of the most passionate writers in the Old Testament, in fact, in all of scripture. ...read more
