Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 8, 2022

In this sermon, I want to give you a gift. It is a pearl. THE PEARL IS IN THE FORM OF A PRAYER!

Israel’s Greatest General (2 Of 2)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 1, 2022

The life of Joshua, of the Bible, is unique in many ways. First, it is unique in that his name is mentioned in the Bible. If God had said nothing about him at all except to mention his name, that would have made him very special.

He was even more unique in that we have a record of his life when he was A YOUNG MAN and also when he was OLD MAN. Then the Bible tells us, in chapter twenty-three, what took place when he was, “stricken with age.” Joshua had lived a godly life. Before he DEPARTED, he wanted to IMPART things to ...read more

Easter Day (Matthew 28:1-7 )

Easter is just the beginning of God handing out His love to you.

Although The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is one of my favourite books, and one of my favourite films, I know that it’s only make-believe; but just like the parables that Jesus told – the stories he ...read more
