    What Kind Of Faith Saves? Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Nov 27, 2021
     | 3,188 views

    Most of us know people who say they believe in Christ, and yet there is nothing about their lives that distinguishes from non-Christians otherwise? So what kind of faith actually saves?

    What kind of faith saves? It’s an important question. It’s a critical question because we all know many people who say they believe in Jesus. But there’s virtually nothing in their lives that sets them out as any different from the non-Christian who lives next door. They neither attend church, ...read more

    One … But Different!

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 16, 2021
     | 1,800 views

    When we look at a crowd of people, we see that each person is different. That difference can be seen in many ways.

    Illus: Our difference reminds me of the three women who were convicted of criminal charges and were brought before a firing squad. • One was a redhead, and all the guns were pointed at her and the Captain said, “Ready, Aim…,” and the redhead hollered “Earthquake”. They all looked around and she ...read more

    The Refining Fire

     | 8,315 views

    The church needs the indwelling power of the Holy Ghost to be a refining fire and prepare us for the great deception of the end times.

    The Refining Fire We cannot survive as faithful Christians in the hours to come without the Fire of the Holy Ghost in our midst. The baptism in the Holy Ghost is so important that Jesus told his disciples, who were obviously Believers who were Born Again, to wait in the upper room until the Holy ...read more

    A Prayer For God’s Will

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 6, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,090 views

    When it comes to praying for God’s will, we often find ourselves at a loss for words. Perhaps, the way to make the greatest impact is to ask for a blessing; to pray for the spiritual and material resources we need to enlarge the kingdom.

    I’ve entitled our message this morning “A Prayer for God’s Will.” When we think of God’s will we often have in mind how the Lord wants to use us for His glory; how God wants to include us in His plans and work through us to make an impact for the kingdom. But when it comes to praying for God’s ...read more

    Finding The Lord’s Will

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 17, 2022
     | 1,246 views

    Some would have us believe that one of the hardest things in this life to find, is the will of God for our lives.

    Illus: Some think that finding the will of God for our life is like playing the game where you put a marble on the table, turn three cups upside down with one of the cups covering the marble. And then someone very quickly switches them around, then you try to guess which cup the marble is under. ...read more

    Jesus' Mission

    Contributed by Mark Schaeufele on Mar 17, 2022
     | 2,252 views

    As Christians, we are called to continue the mission of Jesus.

    JESUS’ MISSION Text: Lk. 19:1-10 Introduction 1. Illustration: “Our mission as Christians is to conform our lives evermore to Jesus as the model of our lives” (Pope Francis) 2. If we take this to heart, then Jesus’ mission becomes our mission. 3. What was Jesus’ mission? a. He Came for ...read more

    The Little Man With A Big Need

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 22, 2022
     | 3,092 views

    This is a popular text with preachers, and I have heard several intriguing titles for it besides the one I am using today.

    Here are some of them that I recall: • A man who went out on a limb for Jesus • The Salvation of Shorty the Racketeer • The Short Scoundrel that Seriously Sought The Saviour • Seeking the True Vine By Sitting In A Tall tree Any of these titles would be appropriate for this sermon, but I have ...read more

    Singing In The Rain…

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 23, 2022
     | 3,406 views

    Introduction: I want to preach a sermon called, “Singing in the Rain.” The words “Singing In The Rain…” come from a famous song sung by Donald O’ Conner. The idea of course is that we often plan things in life and then the rain comes and spoils those plans.

    Illus: Possibly: • We are going to watch a parade, but the rain comes and spoils our parade • We are going on a picnic in the park with our family, but once we spread the lunch, the rain begins and ruins our picnic If we are going to be successful in this life spiritually, THE RAIN WILL CERTAINLY ...read more

    Refuting The Entitled Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 7, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,047 views

    In entitlement thinking, “title equals entitlement.” Favor is demanded based on one’s status or position. It seems the descendants of Joseph felt entitled to more land because they were a large tribe; but bigger doesn't equal blessing.

    When it comes to possessing the land, we can’t just stand around waiting for someone to hand it to us. The same is true for those who are drawn to the work of God in our church and who want to partner with us. When we begin making an impact for the kingdom, and as we start leading others to ...read more

    My Salvation Is All About God Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Jan 17, 2022
     | 3,045 views

    Even when it comes to our salvation, it's all about God. We are saved by God's grace and not by our works. Salvation in Christ is spelled "done," not "do." That's why it's all about God and why it is good news.

    A. Here’s a little cooking humor to get us started: There’s a Hollywood recipe for chicken soup and the instructions begin: “First, bring four cups of Perrier water to a boil.” 1. One cook reported that they found a very easy cookie recipe that said to put all the ingredients in a bowl and beat it, ...read more

    If you want to know God's will, do the will of God you already know.

    I finally came across a national church survey filled with good news from the pews! Here’s the headline from Christianity Today: “9 in 10 Evangelicals Don’t Think Sermons are Too Long.” This study also confirmed what I know to be true among the people of Edgewood: “They’d like to see more ...read more

    Living In The Tree Of Life (Part 2)

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 28, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,034 views

    The tree of the knowledge of good and evil is the formation of a value system; or rather, a "judgement" system. Living in the tree of life is making decisions from life and liberty, and what stimulates life in both you and others.

    This morning’s message is a continuation of last week’s on the tree of life, and I have entitled our sermon, “Living in the Tree of Life” – Part 2. I would like to begin with some food for thought by sharing a real life illustration of a historical figure who walked in the tree of life. George ...read more

    Searching For The Faithful

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 30, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,727 views

    God is searching for the faithful, as He wants to show Himself strong on their behalf. He is seeking those who realize that God is bigger than man’s limited wisdom; and He is seeking those who walk in obedience to His commands.

    George Muller said, “Faith does not operate in the realm of the possible. There is no glory for God in that which is humanly possible. Faith begins where man’s power ends.” I’ve entitled our message for this morning, “Searching for the Faithful,” and it’s based on a verse often used in Scripture ...read more

    As followers of Jesus Christ, we are called to stick out of the crowd and be radically changed.

    RADICALLY CHANGED Text: Eph. 4:17-32 Introduction 1. Jesus Christ is Lord & God's still on the throne There's power in the blood & I'm saved to the bone The devil comes against me, he's gonna feel some pain I can bind him, bruise him, cast him out by the power of ...read more

    In this message we look to Jesus as our example of servanthood and submission

    Sermon for February 6, 2022 - John 13:1-17 This is a deeply moving passage. And it’s all the more moving when we understand the underlying message in this account. This is a picture of Jesus visibly and tangibly demonstrating His heart for the church, His desire for our relationships and this His ...read more
