Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 19, 2022

Bart Simpson, in a program aimed at millions of America's young, is asked to say grace and he says, "Dear God, we paid for all this stuff ourselves, so thanks for nothing."

The attitude of ungratefulness can not only be seen in the cartoons in the newspaper, but also in the lives of people. WHAT AN UNGRATEFUL PEOPLE WE HAVE BECOME! For example, if you have attended church very long you have experienced ingratitude. • There are people who will attend church to get ...read more

Counting The Cost

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 19, 2022

One of the things that we are impressed by today, is numbers.

When we drive down the highway and see a lot of cars in the parking lot of a restaurant, we assume that it is a great place to eat. Many of us would admit that we have eaten at places where the parking lot was filled with cars, but we were not impressed with the food or the service. We make that ...read more

Acts Of The Apostles 39 Of 39

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022

Even though we come to the final chapter of the book of Acts, we do not come to the end of this book.

WHY DOES THE LORD FINISH THE BOOK OF ACTS WITH NO ENDING? This books is filled with the ACTS of God’s people, and God intends for the church to continue to serve him in this manner. If you remember, in the last sermon we saw Paul on the ship, and a storm came up and every man on board almost ...read more

Acts Of The Apostles 31 Of 39

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022

The Bible records many oral reports that were given.

For example, if you remember in the Old Testament, Moses sent out the ten spies to scout out the land and they came back and gave their report. Some of them gave a very negative report.

Whose Story Is It?

Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Jun 9, 2018

Are the star of your own story with God playing a supporting role, or are you in a story that’s bigger than you, with God in the lead and you in the supporting role?

Bill Clem opens his book, Disciple, with two scenarios. One has to do with a couple of guys who are theater majors in college, and they grow impatient with all the hoops they have to jump through to finish their degree. They just want to be producing plays and directing and acting in them. So, one ...read more

Christians Must Be Prepared To Suffer For Christ

Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 3, 2019

The Prosperity movement has given Americans a wrong view of God -- that He won’t let Christians suffer. But the truth is that suffering is a vital part of Christianity. Suffering should be viewed as a blessing, a cause for rejoicing, and a sign of future reward.

CHRISTIANS MUST BE PREPARED TO SUFFER FOR CHRIST Matt. 24:9 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: MAGIC AT THE PASTRY SHOP 1. Two broke and hungry best friends, Dave and John, went into a pastry shop. Dave suddenly whisks three cookies into his pocket with lightning speed. The baker didn't notice. Dave ...read more

My Peace I Give To You

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jun 6, 2016

Whenever you see a pageant and you hear the question, ‘what is the most important thing society needs’, the contestant will typically answer, ‘world peace’. Everybody wants peace but there seems to be so little of it. Why? I believe Jesus has the answer.

End Time Christians Must Hunger For God's Word Series

Contributed by Dr. Dave Hartson on Mar 17, 2021

And to be honest, I have heard preachers throw around the term “we must have a hunger for God’s Word”. But what does that really mean?

Introduction The Bible tells us that Enoch walked with God; the Bible tells us that Noah walked with God. These walks with God were more God talks- where God talked to them, and these men took to heart what God was telling them. We know that to be the case because Enoch as result of those walks ...read more

Why Eagles Fly And Chickens Flutter

Contributed by John Gaston on Oct 28, 2023

Christians, like Eagles, are destined to fly high in Christ's victorious nature and righteousness. They don't conform to the nature of fallen creatures, who can only flutter slightly above the ground of sin and corruption. Have you realized your genetic heritage yet?

WHY EAGLES FLY AND CHICKENS FLUTTER Rom. 12:2 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Often we get into the same messes as those we’re critical of. 2.
