A God-Planted Church

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 16, 2022

Today I want to talk to you about church planting, because all churches are not GOD PLANTED!

HOW DOES GOD PLANT A CHURCH? CHURCH PLANTING is something like what a farmer does, he plants the seed, cultivates the seed, fertilizes the seed and then patiently waits for it to grow. Church planters basically do the same thing. They have to plant the seed (Gospel), cultivate the seed, ...read more

Blessed Or Stressed?

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 17, 2022

We all deal with STRESS in different ways. There is GOOD STRESS and there is BAD STRESS!

Good stress, also called “eustress”, is very beneficial to our life. It means we stretch ourselves to be our very best. For years we've believed that stress is a bad thing - it damages our health. But stress can have a good side. Illus: For example, for a violinist to make music, the strings ...read more

Peace With God & Peace From God

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 23, 2022

Anxiety seems to be a problem today for both the saved and the unsaved.

While we can understand it might be a problem with the unsaved, we have a difficult time understanding why it is a problem with the saved. WHY IS ANXIETY SUCH A PROBLEM TODAY? Someone printed these words under a tranquil scene on a calendar: "Today is the tomorrow we worried about ...read more

Power For Evangelism

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 29, 2022

Isaiah’s prophecy applies to believers today, providing the words we need to move us into action in sharing our faith. This passage contains two parts: first, the gospel message; and secondly, assurance for the evangelist.

Isaiah chapter 55 shares a message that can be applied to those getting ready to embark on a missionary journey, and to those getting prepared to share their faith in Christ. Within this passage is contained a two-part teaching. The first part, found in verses 1-7, shares the basic content of the ...read more

Agape Love

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 29, 2022

Have you ever wondered why God is so good to lost people when they do not reciprocate in their feelings toward Him?

Illus: Perhaps the answer can be illustrated by the story of the little girl who went to her mother to show her some fruit her friend gave her. The mother said, “Your friend has been very kind.” “Yes,” said the child, “She gave me more; but I gave some away.” When her mother asked who she gave ...read more

God Is A God Of Goodness

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 30, 2022

Any time people are special in our lives, we want to tell others about them.

This is why we Christians tell others about the GOD OF THE BIBLE AND HIS LOVE AND GOODNESS. The reason some do not talk more about the God of the Bible than they do is because they really do not know Him well enough to talk about Him! Illus: Dr. Odell Belger said that he arrived his first year in ...read more

He That Winneth Souls Is Wise No. 5

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 31, 2022

In recent weeks we have been preaching about one of the most important things that the Bible teaches from cover to cover, that is, soul winning.

God said, "He that winneth souls is wise." Illus: Below are just a few of the “wise” soul winners of past years. A. Torrey was won to Christ through his mother. George Mueller was won to Christ by a friend. George Whitfield was won to Christ while reading a book. Sam Jones was won ...read more

What Is Spirituality? (3 Of 7)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 1, 2022

Most of us at times have looked at someone we thought was attractive physically, and thought we certainly would like to look like them if we could.

Sometimes this is the motivation for some to: (1) DIET EACH DAY Illus: Much has been said about diets, such as: • It's something most of us do religiously: We eat what we want to eat, drink a diet coke and pray we don't gain weight • Someone else said that the problem with curbing our ...read more

Stewardship (4 Of 4)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 11, 2022

This will be our fourth and final message in this series on stewardship. So far we have talked about our being stewards of INFORMATION GOD HAS ENTRUSTED US WITH and our being stewards of MONEY GOD HAS ENTRUSTED US WITH.

In this message we want to turn our attention to that part of God’s Word that reminds us we are stewards of our TIME and TALENTS. One of the things the Lord has promised us, if we are faithful stewards of these things He has entrusted to us, is that He will bless us. Look at Rev. 22:12. We read, ...read more
