    The Seekers

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 29, 2022
     | 2,891 views

    All across this nation we have psychologists and psychiatrists working overtime trying to figure out why people do what they do.

    One thing is for sure, WHATEVER WE DO, WE DO FOR A REASON. Also, EVERYWHERE WE GO, WE GO FOR A REASON! For example, have you ever seen a football stadium full of people and wondered what motivated those people to be there? Of course you know there are probably many reasons; such as... - They ...read more

    Every football coach dreams of recruiting eleven of the greatest football players together on one team.

    If a coach could recruit such players, he would have one of the best teams in the nation. Every coach knows that he would have a winning team if he could recruit such players. We all know that the success of every team is based on recruiting. We learn that as a child. Illus: Remember, when ...read more

    Each year, many of us take a trip somewhere in this country or another country for different reasons.

    • Sometimes it is because of business • Sometimes it is because we want to relax in a different environment • Sometimes it is to visit relatives • Sometimes it is because we want to see the beauty of other places Illus: A man and his wife were driving their Recreational Vehicle in Florida, and ...read more

    Embracing Grace

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Apr 2, 2022
     | 3,132 views

    The vast majority of people do not "accept" Christ (Luke 4:24) but refuse the "favor" (grace) He offers (v. 19). God has sent Christ to offer His grace. We must embrace the grace offered in Christ. Luke shows us how.

    There’s a key word in this passage that I would like to point out. It is not obvious in the English, so it’s a bit tricky. But the word ‘favor’ in verse 19 and the word ‘acceptable’ in verse 24 render the same Greek word, which is dektos. In fact, in the King James Version it is translated ...read more

    How To Subdue Your Enemies

    Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 6, 2022
     | 5,643 views

    Subduing your enemies has nothing to do with your enemies -- it requires us to get victory over ourselves. The 2 keys are to listen to God and follow His ways. If we do those, our enemies will automatically be subdued before us!

    HOW TO SUBDUE YOUR ENEMIES Ps. 81:13-14 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: Hating Your Enemies 1. The author of the famous tract, “Come To Jesus,” became embroiled in a theological dispute. He finally wrote a reply to his opponent, filled with sarcasm and invective, sharp and cutting as a razor. 2. ...read more

    James Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Apr 9, 2022
     | 3,063 views

    Even after more than two years of miracles, James is a skeptic. It would, after all, be rather hard to swallow the idea that the brother you had grown up with was the Son of God.

    Jesus came from a big family. Matthew 13:55-56 names Jesus' brothers: James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas and mentions sisters (plural), so He had at least six siblings. James is consistently named first when Jesus' brothers are listed, which in his day likely meant that he was the eldest of ...read more

    • The rapture of the church • The receiving of our glorified bodies • The Judgments (The Seal Judgments, The Trumpet Judgments, and The Vial Judgments) All these things will take place on earth during the seven years of the tribulation period.

     | 1,770 views

    The story revolves around Judith; a daring and beautiful widow upset with her Jewish compatriots for not trusting God to deliver them from their Seleucid monarchs.

    The Book of Judith is a deuterocanonical[a] book, included in the Septuagint and the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Christian Old Testament of the Bible but excluded from the Hebrew canon and assigned by Protestants to the Apocrypha. It tells of a Jewish widow, Judith, who uses her beauty and ...read more

    A Transfiguration Sunday Sermon on listening to Jesus.

    “Are We Listening?” Luke 9:28-36 “Are you listening?” a mother asks her child. She knows the child’s hearing is fine, but the kid is playing on their phone or watching t-v and she wonders if the sounds she made were absorbed and attended to by him or her.

    Paul’s Mars Hill Sermon Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Feb 23, 2022

    What's going on here? Paul preaches a message without using Scripture? He quotes from an inscription on a pagan shrine? No follow up for the new believers in Athens? We better take a closer look at Paul's Mars Hill sermon.

    The context of Paul’s Mars Hill Sermon When we look at Paul’s Mars Hill sermon given in Athens in Acts 17, he is well into his second missionary journey. His plans were changed early in the journey when the Holy Spirit kept him from preaching the word in Asia and then he received his Macedonian ...read more

    How To Get Rid Of The Giants In Your Life

    This passage of scripture has many surprises, but we want to look especially at two of them; ONE GOOD SURPRISE and ONE BAD SURPRISE.

    Illus: This passage reminds me of the story of the little mother of seven children. She was leaving to go to a surprise party, and all seven of them wanted to go with her. One asked, "Mom, can we go with you?" She said, "No, it is a surprise party." One of the little ones ...read more
