  • Grace From Galatians (4-19)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 7, 2022
     | 1,012 views

    As children, our parents told us things that they felt were best for us, but we often thought we knew more than they did.

    Isn’t it amazing how children, in the short time they have been here on earth, seem to think they are able to accumulate more knowledge than us old timers who have been around 60 or 70 years? But in all fairness, I have met some parents whose children were smarter than they were, and that does not ...read more

  • Grace From Galatians (5-19)

    This far into the book of Galatians, I hope you have developed a fondness for this wonderful book.

    Those who have come from churches that taught legalism all their life have a greater appreciation for the book of Galatians than those who have been taught salvation by grace all their life. • Those who have been raised in the church all their life and came to know the Lord at an a age, do not ...read more

  • Grace From Galatians (6-19)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 7, 2022
     | 1,190 views

    It seems we make excuses and promises about many of the things we do. We do this in many ways, such as, each year we make promises to ourselves.

    We call them New Year’s resolutions. But so often we MAKE THESE PROMISES and then we BREAK THEM! Illus: Did you hear about the man who got tired of making these promises and breaking them? He got so disgusted with himself that he came up with a list of Resolutions he felt he could keep. He said ...read more

  • Grace From Galatians (8 Of 19)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 7, 2022
     | 1,253 views

    One of the exciting things in the Christian life is to see someone come to know the Lord as their Savior. To know without a doubt that they have been gloriously saved from the bondage of sin.

    However, one of the saddest things in the Christian life is to see someone who professes to know the Lord but lives their life in such a way as to cast doubt on their salvation. Illus: Evangelist Ding Teuling is often asked how many were converted in some of his meetings. He tells them he really ...read more

  • Grace From Galatians (9 Of 19)

    One of the problems in the political arena is that we have politicians that are more loyal to their party than they are to their constituents.

    They are more interested in trying to make us all Republicans or all Democrats than they are in trying to help the people that put them into office. President Bill Clinton seemed to be the exception to this rule, he seemed to have other interests. Illus: The story is told that Hillary Clinton ...read more

  • Grace From Galatians (10 Of 19)

     | 1,075 views

    We are looking at the five different appeals that Paul used in dealing with these Galatians.

    In the first appeal, he dealt with them about three things: • He appealed to their PAST • He appealed to their PRESENT • He appealed to their PREDICAMENT In this second appeal, he appeals to their love for him and how he should be treated by them. • Being a Minister of the Gospel is considered by ...read more

  • Grace From Galatians (11 Of 19)

    Paul knew how much these Galatians held Abraham in high esteem.

    He takes this knowledge that they had of Abraham and uses it as he makes his third of the five appeals to them. Paul had no problem regarding the spiritual roots believers have in Abraham, because God's promises were clearly made to him. But he wanted them to know that having the PROMISED ...read more

  • Grace From Galatians (12 Of 19)

     | 1,710 views

    This is Paul’s fourth appeal to try to get them to come to their senses.

    As we have seen, Paul does not understand why these backsliding Galatian Christians wanted to return to the bondage of the law. In this appeal, he seems to appeal to their common sense, something that many in this country seem to have lost. Illus: I saw this sad announcement and thought about ...read more

  • Grace From Galatians! (13 Of 19)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 8, 2022
     | 1,192 views

    This is the FIFTH APPEAL that Paul used to try and bring these Galatians to their spiritual senses. He is hoping they will reach a sensible solution to their problems.

    But anytime you work with people and try to get them to arrive at the right conclusion, you find it is a difficult task to say the least. Some folks will go years and years making the same mistakes and getting the same results. It never seems to dawn on them that perhaps they are doing something ...read more

  • Grace From Galatians (14 Of 19)

    We are now coming to the last section of the Book of Galatians. We have dealt with the doctrine of Grace in many ways.

    But in this last section, Paul begins to deal with the conduct of the Believer. In the remaining part of the Book of Galatians, Paul breaks the conduct of the Believer into six sections. In this sermon we are going to see where God has set the Believer free from the bondage of the law and how it ...read more

  • Grace From Galatians (15 Of 19)

    The Bible has a great deal to say about Christians walking in the Spirit.

    Illus: There's a man trying to cross the street. As he steps off the curb, a car comes screaming around the corner and heads straight for him. The man walks faster, trying to hurry across the street, but the car changes lanes and is still coming at him. So the guy turns around to go back, ...read more

  • Grace From Galatians (16 Of 19)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 8, 2022
     | 797 views

    In the last sermon we dealt with the two choices we have as Christians. That is, we can: • Walk in the flesh • Walk in the Spirit

    We also pointed out that the flesh is not sinful. The body in which we live is the temple of the Holy Spirit. HOW DO WE KNOW THESE BODIES ARE NOT SINFUL WITHIN THEMSELVES? Because this body in which we live is the same type of body in which Christ lived, and He was without sin. All sin resides ...read more

  • Grace From Galatians (17 Of 19)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 8, 2022
     | 1,187 views

    In this passage of scripture, Paul is addressing Christians. Notice, he addressed them in verse 1 by referring to them as, “Brethren”.

    Paul’s concept of the church throughout the scriptures is that the Believers are the family of God. WHY IS HE ADDRESSING THEM? He is addressing them because people in the family of God are supposed to love one another as a LOVING FAMILY. Like all families, the family of God has times when ...read more

  • Grace From Galatians (18 Of 19)

     | 1,222 views

    Remember that when we started the Book of Galatians we talked about how these false teachers attacked Paul. They stated: • He was not a true apostle • He was preaching a false gospel

    Before Paul brings this letter to a close, he wants to deal with this subject sternly. The strategy that some use when they want to destroy a message is to destroy the messenger. This is the kind of strategy they were using against the apostle Paul. This is done in politics all the time. When ...read more

  • Provoking Thoughts From 2 John

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 10, 2022
     | 3,045 views

    Obviously, we are dealing with 2 John in this message. You have probably noticed that second and third John are very short.

    Second John only has 13 verses. Third John only has 15 verses. But, do not make the mistake of thinking that because these two books are short that it diminishes what John has to say. Illus: John was like some people we meet. They do not say a lot, but they have the most to say when they do ...read more
