  • Plan B From God Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 18, 2021
     | 1,940 views

    God could have written you off as a bad experiment. But your divine friend, now your divine judge, has a plan “B.” He won’t leave you to the nasty existence you chose.

    Christmas Christmas is the favorite day of every child. It’s also the favorite of the child that inhabits the center of every adult. So instead of a sermon, let’s play a Christmas adventure game, a game of pretend. Imagine yourself as Adam or Eve. The first Adam, the first Eve. Alive in the ...read more

  • Preaching From Philippians #1

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 28, 2021
     | 2,166 views

    In Paul’s writings, his greetings varied from church to church. He made the greetings fit the church he was addressing and the things he wanted to talk about.

    For example, when he wrote to the Corinthians he stated that he was an Apostle in his greetings. Look at 1 Cor. 1:1 “Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother.” He did not mention that he was an Apostle in his address to the Philippians! He ...read more

    One of the reasons that it is a sin for Christians to take drugs or drink alcoholic beverages is because these are substances that control our behavior.

    These are things that will ruin our lives and cause us to make fools out of ourselves. There is no way that a Christian can be controlled by the Holy Spirit if they are controlled by these substances. But these are not the only things that control Christians. For example, there are many ...read more

  • Preaching From Philippians #4

     | 1,992 views

    In Chapter one, Paul let these Christians in Philippi know that he wanted to come to them, but couldn’t because he was in jail.

    He also wanted them to know that his being in jail might bring about his death, but if it did, they were not to let it shake their faith in the Lord Jesus. He did not want them to feel sorry for him or for themselves, because Paul let it be known that for him “TO LIVE IS CHRIST AND TO DIE IS ...read more

  • Preaching From Philippians #5

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 28, 2021
     | 2,066 views

    This little passage of scripture is loaded with wonderful teachings about the Lord Jesus Christ. Some believe it is one of the greatest passages in the Bible concerning the Lord Jesus Christ.

    It gives us a picture of the humility of Christ like we have never seen before. If the church today is ever going to accomplish anything for the Lord, we are going to have to know and possess the humility of Christ. Illus: Some of the New Testament Christians caught this vision. The attitude of ...read more

  • Preaching From Philippians #6

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 28, 2021
     | 1,260 views

    In this passage of scripture, Paul talks to the Philippian Christians about salvation. That may seem strange because these people said they were Believers.

    A good pastor deals with the subject of salvation for two reasons: (1) He knows it is a possibility that many are deceived about their salvation. The Lord Himself dealt with this deception in Matthew 7:22-23, we read, “Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy ...read more

    As we look at the life of the apostle Paul in this passage of scripture, we see that he is in jail.

    Illus: A man that was in prison was asked, “What is the worst thing about prison?” He said, “The worst thing about prison is that you are here and everybody that you love and care for are out there!” Paul knew exactly what this man was talking about. He was in prison and those that he loved and ...read more

  • Preaching From Philippians #8

     | 1,099 views

    Paul’s life was like ours in that he had two kinds of friends.

    (1) HE HAD HIS SUNSHINE FRIENDS One of the sunshine friends was Demas. When things were going great, Demas was there, but when things got rough, Demas got going! Look at 2 Timothy 4:3, we read, “For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; ...read more

  • Preaching From Philippians #9

     | 1,899 views

    When you consider that Paul is in jail, this verse takes on new meaning.

    Notice, he says, “Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord…” • We can understand someone who is not in jail writing to someone in jail trying to get them to do this. • It is unusual for a fellow who is in jail to be encouraging to those who are free to do this. This passage of scripture is ...read more

  • Preaching From Philippians #11

     | 1,837 views

    Many consider this passage of scripture to be one of the most important passages in the Bible. Once we get into these verses, it is easy to see why it is ranked so high by so many.

    The reason it is ranked so high is because this passage deals with the example we set before our FAMILY and FRIENDS. Every one of us has influence for GOOD or BAD! Illus: Even Jesse James had a gang that followed him around, and so do we. We have people under our influence. When we speak about ...read more

  • Preaching From Philippians # 12

    All the nations on earth desire to have peace, but as you know, all nations do not have peace. There is a reason for that. For example, many Americans discovered during the Iraq war that peace comes at a high price. This is difficult for many Americans to comprehend because of two reasons:

    (1) As Americans, we are used to watching Clint Eastwood ride into town on a horse, and in one hour clean up the meanest town in the west. We wonder why the United States military can’t do the same in one hour! (2) Americans see other nations are having wars on their streets, but we have never ...read more

    Transformation

    There’s a Spanish story of a father and son who had become estranged. The son ran away, and the father set off to find him. He searched for months to no avail. Finally, in a last desperate effort to find him, the father put an ad in the Madrid newspaper. The ad read: “Dear Paco, meet me in front of ...read more

    A woman decides to try riding horseback, even though she has had no lessons or prior experience.

    • She mounts the horse unassisted and the horse immediately springs into motion. • It gallops along at a steady and rhythmic pace, but the woman begins to slip from the saddle. • In terror, she grabs for the horse's mane, but cannot seem to get a firm grip. • She tries to throw her arms ...read more

  • Learning From The Mistake Of Others.

    There is a saying that if you fail to learn from history you are doomed to repeat it.

    LEARNING FROM THE MISTAKE OF OTHERS And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thine heart, though thou knewest all this; But hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou, and thy lords, thy wives, and thy ...read more

  • Away From The Empty Tomb Series

    Contributed by Lanny Smith on Apr 8, 2021
     | 1,973 views

    We've followed our leader from the Jordan to a tomb. Now what?

    Our series’ focus this quarter has been on “following our leader.” We’ve watched and experienced through his disciples’ eyes and ears what He did and said. Clearly they were meant to learn and imitate Him. So are we. We’ve followed all the way from the Jordan river where Jesus’ earthly ministry and ...read more
