The Thessalonians # 15a (1 Of 2)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 6, 2022

This is the last chapter of Paul’s letter to the Christians that he loved and respected at Thessalonica.

As far as we know, this was the last time Paul communicated with them. You can sense the love he had for them as you read this last chapter he wrote to them. There are many things that take place in a church that are not obvious, but one thing should be obvious to all, and that is the love God’s ...read more

The Lord Is Good

Contributed by Mark Armstrong on Jan 6, 2019

A short sermon for a funeral service. I wrote this talk for the funeral of a Christian person.

In Nahum 1.7—a book in the Bible not often heard—the prophet Nahum says, “The LORD is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him” (Nahum 1:7). It may seem counter-intuitive to consider this verse at a funeral when death is clearly on our minds. How can we say that the ...read more

Acts Of The Apostles (7 Of 39)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022

Luke wrote to Theophilus, telling him of some of the great events of the early church.

As he tells of these events, it is like an unwinding story in which one event leads into the next. For example, after Pentecost, he leads into chapter 3, and tells of Peter and John going into the temple. He tells of the man who had been crippled from birth, asking them for alms. Luke related ...read more
