Grace From Galatians (7 0f 19)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 7, 2022

The false religions of the world have one thing in common. They all desire to put people under bondage. Why do they want to put people under bondage? This is their way of keeping their members under their control.

For example to understand that, we have to consider a dictator like Saddam Hussein. Why did he use intimidation, torture and death as a means to control the people of Iraq? The people in Iraq were afraid to say anything bad about him for fear that he would have them killed. Illus: Let me give you ...read more

Grace From Galatians (9 Of 19)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 7, 2022

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)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 7, 2022

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)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 7, 2022

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)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 8, 2022

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 (14 Of 19)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 8, 2022

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 (17 Of 19)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 8, 2022

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

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

The Word Of God Is Not Bound

Contributed by John Gaston on Jul 13, 2024

Paul was a prisoner, bound with a chain, but he told Timothy, "But God's Word is NOT bound!" Religions nor Govts can bind the Word; our unworthiness can't bind it, and it can't be stopped!

THE WORD OF GOD IS NOT BOUND 2 Tim. 2:1-5, 8-9 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. It was the 9th of July and the judge, a veteran, was in a good mood as he asked the prisoner, “What are you charged with?” 2.

The Cross Of Jesus Christ

Contributed by Samuel M on Sep 13, 2023

Whatever we lost at the Mankind’s fall is very less in comparison to the failure or negligence to receive or experience the vast riches available at the Cross of Jesus Christ. The treasures available and accessible at the Cross are far larger than those in the Garden of Eden.

Contributed by Dennis Ellingburg on Aug 7, 2024

The Word of God is prophetic, profitable, penetrating, and perpetual in its power.

By stating that the Bible is Holy, Paul indicates that it is in the Bible that we find the true way to live a holy life. Holiness means to be set apart, to be sanctified, to be morally perfect and pure. God is calling us to lives of holiness and it is through the example of Jesus, modeled in ...read more
