    See Jesus Defeat The Devil

    Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Mar 7, 2022
     | 2,165 views

    Because Christ fought the battle against Satan as one of us, he won that battle for all of us. Jesus is our perfect substitute. Even as the devil rages against us, we can face him and his temptations unafraid, confident that our champion, Jesus, has already won the victory over him.

    David versus Goliath. Thousands of years after their brief battle it is still used to describe conflicts. You have probably heard the comparison several times in recent days following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Clearly Russia is Goliath and Ukraine David. But don’t we also regularly hear the ...read more

    Provoking Thoughts From 1 John (9 Of 16)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 10, 2022
     | 2,392 views

    Have you ever listened to someone on the radio and wondered what that person looked like.

    If you have, you were probably, like most people, surprised when you actually saw that person. Why? Because that person probably did not look at all like you had thought from the way he/she sounded. I want to ask you another question. Have you ever read your Bible and tried to imagine what the ...read more

    Acts Of The Apostles (6 Of 39)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022
     | 1,329 views

    At the beginning of the third chapter of Acts, the story of the glorious healing of the man who had been lame from birth is recorded.

    This man was a picture of the sinner, who is born spiritually lame. God did an undeniable work in his life, but the ungodly, though religious, would not accept it. It is still the same today. God does great things, and still ungodly men will not accept what He does, and can do, for mankind. ...read more

    What Will It Take? (1 Of 2)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 16, 2022
     | 1,548 views

    The title of this sermon is, “WHAT WILL IT TAKE?” You are probably wondering what direction I plan to take in a sermon with such a title.

    I want to show you by asking a question, “WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO GET YOU TO LOVE GOD AND SERVE HIM AS YOU SHOULD?” Illus: When I think of this question, I think of the atheist school teacher who was thinking, “WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO CONVERT THIS CLASS OF YOUNG BOYS AND GIRLS OVER TO ATHEISM?” She ...read more

    What Kind Of Church Does God Want This Church To Be?

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 18, 2022
     | 2,810 views

    I want to talk to you about God’s church. Folks have some strange ideas about the church.

    Illus: Did you hear about Cowboy Joe, who went to church for the first time? Cowboy Joe was telling his friend Charlie about his first visit to the big-city church. • He said, "When I got there, they had me park my old truck in the corral," Charlie said, "You mean the parking ...read more

    Managing Money God's Way: Saving Series

    Contributed by Scott Bayles on Mar 19, 2022
     | 5,644 views

    What does the Bible have to say about saving money? Surprizingly, much! Using the tale of Joseph as the backdrop, we discover that saving money God's way is practical, planned, and profitable.

    Managing Money God’s Way: Saving Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove Christian Church: 10/2/16 Last Sunday I began a short three-part series about Managing Money God’s Way. Like I said last week, the number one key when it comes to managing your money is acknowledging that it’s not your money—it’s ...read more

    Jacob-His "Mizpah” Moment Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Mar 19, 2022
     | 3,894 views

    Ever seen a "Mizpah" necklace? It may not mean what you think it does!

    Introduction: Have you seen anyone wearing a “Mizpah” necklace recently? These items come and go in popularity and I frankly haven’t seen any of these in quite a while. But some time ago, these items were popular. They came as a pair of necklaces, and on each necklace there was a piece of a coin or ...read more

    Sunday Morning Religion

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 19, 2022
     | 3,606 views

    You can ride by most churches and they have a church sign outside telling the public what time their church services start.

    But I have a problem with some churches posting on their church signs they worship God between 11 to 12 . According to the Word of God this is somewhat misleading! HOW IS IT MISLEADING? It implies we worship the Lord one hour a week and this is not what the Bible teaches we christians should be ...read more

    Trust And Obey (2 Of 2)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 22, 2022
     | 1,927 views

    This morning we looked at something we talk, teach, preach and sing about, that is, “TRUST AND OBEY!”

    We dealt with the TRUST this morning, but this evening we would like to deal with the OBEY part of that song. Something that Peter and the early disciples understood that today’s church does not understand, is that WE CHRISTIANS ARE TO OBEY GOD. They understood that you obeyed God: • When it was ...read more

    One Accord

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 25, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,144 views

    As a pastor I find this verse of scripture amazing. Why? Because this verse tells us two amazing things: the New Testament church was in ONE ACCORD in ONE PLACE.

    Accomplishing either one of these would be marvelous, but to accomplish both is astounding. Illus: Occasionally, many churches have a “NO EXCUSE SUNDAY,” trying to get everyone to attend. Before this Sunday arrives, they send out newsletters from the church, stating: • Cots will be placed in the ...read more

    In Christ #3

     | 1,065 views

    In this sermon we will look at our REDEMPTION. (In the next two messages we will look at our REVELATION, and our REWARDS.)

    It is my prayer that by this time you are closer to the Lord. Illus: We do not have to be like the man who had been hired to paint lines on the highway. As the story goes, this man’s job consisted of painting the white lines in the highway. -The first day he painted three miles of lines. -The ...read more

    The Book Of Mark #57

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 30, 2022
     | 1,311 views

    In 1858, the Illinois legislature, using an obscure statute, sent Stephen A. Douglas to the U.S. Senate instead of Abraham Lincoln, although Lincoln had won the popular vote.

    When a sympathetic friend asked Lincoln how he felt, he said he felt, “Like the boy who stubbed his toe: I am too big to cry and too badly hurt to laugh.” (Source unknown) All of us know that feeling. Life is filled with disappointments. Most of us will do anything to keep from having ...read more

    Fruit Of The Spirit # 2a

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 1, 2022
     | 1,272 views

    When you look at churches, you will see that there is a vast difference between them.

    One thing you will find common in most churches it that there is one basic thing missing. WHAT IS MISSING? Illus: Let me explain what is missing by telling you a story of a young boy who went to spend the week with his grandfather on the farm. • While walking around he noticed the chickens.

    Pilate's Wife

    Contributed by Claude Alexander on Apr 2, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,901 views

    It is surprising, and sad, that the only testimony (in effect) on Jesus’ behalf during the trial was made, not by any of Jesus’ disciples, nor apostles, nor followers, but by Pilate’s wife.

    Pilate's Wife Matt. 27:11-26 The chief priests with the elders and scribes and the whole council of the Sanhedrin had decided to put Jesus to death. They had Jesus brought before Pilate the governor to pronounce the death sentence. (Mark 15:1; Luke 22:66; 23:1) Pontius Pilate was the fifth ...read more

    Dealing With The Lost (4 Of 5)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 7, 2022
     | 1,355 views

    We want to look again at the position of the church today.

    God has called THE CHURCH TO REACH THE LOST. • There is no shortage of Church buildings today • There is a tremendous shortage of CHRISTIANS WHO ARE TRYING TO REACH THE LOST The Word of God says, in Matthew 9:37, “… The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few.” Illus: Several years ...read more
