Victory Over Fear

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 23, 2022

We are all thankful for every precious verse of scripture in the Word of God, but there are some verses we favor above others. One such verse is Psalm 56:3, we read, “What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.”

WHY IS THIS SUCH A FAVORITE VERSE OF SCRIPTURE FOR SO MANY? Because there are times in ALL OF OUR LIVES when we are AFRAID! Illus: In one movie, John Wayne, who is known for his toughness, was leading a bunch of young marines landing on the island of Iwo Jima. They were under heavy fire as they ...read more

Facing The Storm Of Fear

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 28, 2022

Something we tell our children during fearful times is, “Do not be afraid!”

It is easy to speak these words but it is not always easy not to be afraid. Illus: Have you heard about the man who owned a parrot that swore like a sailor? This parrot was so terrible, it could swear for five minutes straight without repeating itself. One day the man finally got tired of this ...read more

On Easter Morning A Simple Question, With A Glorious Answer, Challenged And Changed Everything

Contributed by Joel Pankow on Apr 13, 2022

The women go to the tomb to find a dead Jesus, but they are given life and hope instead. We have the same hope and life in Christ alone.

Betrayal

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on May 10, 2022

Betrayal takes a while from which to recover. Trust must be rebuilt.

The Lord got me to thinking about the many pitfalls that we go through in life. So I thought for the next few weeks we'll see what instructions the Bible can give us on how to overcome these pitfalls. Today I want to specifically talk about the pitfall of betrayal. You know trust is a ...read more

God Abides In Small Places

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 21, 2022

When trying to start a new church, we often think we should send church planters to the largest populated areas. However, both John the Baptist and Jesus preached in the wilderness, and people came to them where they were!

I have entitled our message for this evening, “God Abides in Small Places.” Abide means, to dwell and to continue in a place. The Lord can be found abiding – and alive and well – in small places; and it is very important for us to be reminded of this fact because of America’s belief that “bigger ...read more

The Testing & Teaching Of The Feeding Of The Five Thousand

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 26, 2022

You probably know that what we learn after we are out of school is much more than what we learned in the classrooms while we were in school.

A mistake many high school students make is to think that one day they will graduate and never have to apply in their daily living any of the things they learned in those classrooms in the past twelve years. The reason they think that way is because we have been trained to think of a classroom ...read more

The Great Need For Bible Convictions

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 2, 2022

In the modern church today, you do not hear many sermons on Bible convictions. In fact, in the modern church, the word “Conviction” is rarely mentioned.

Illus: Years ago, it was not unusual to hear Christians in the church saying such things as, “I do not do this, or that, because it is a Bible conviction I have.” But today, you rarely hear professing Christians talk about Bible convictions they have. Why? Because, Bible convictions are based on ...read more

Two Facts The Bible Teaches About Faith

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 4, 2022

Faith is probably preached about more than any subject of the Bible, yet it seems to be something that most Christians know very little about.

This may explain why many Christians are not growing in the Lord, and why their lives are void when it comes to the blessings of God. We cannot read about a single individual in the Bible, and not see how his/her faith affected him/her in a positive way, or how the lack of faith affected him/her ...read more

Facing The Storm Of Fear

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 9, 2021

In 1999, Hurricane Floyd appeared on the radar screen as it approached the shores of Florida. Governor Jeb Bush described it as a “Monster of a storm”, that was coming in their direction, and they really did not know how to deal with it.

One of the things that made this such a dreadful storm was that it had strong winds, and it was over three hundred miles wide. Florida was blessed, because it came up to the coast line and made a turn. When South Carolina was told to “Watch out”, because the storm was heading in their direction, ...read more
