    In 1 Samuel we have the very exciting story of David and Goliath. From the human viewpoint, this was the biggest mismatch that has ever occurred.

    Illus: If any of you watch professional boxing, you know that the weight of the boxers has to be within a few pounds, or they are not allowed to fight each other.

    I guess one of the biggest frustrations that parents have, is when they talk to their children and they either don't hear, or choose not to hear what the parents have to say.

    Illus: One woman’s three year old daughter, Beverly, was playing with her toys. Her mother, who was folding laundry across the room, noticed Beverly's shirt was dirty and needed to be changed.

    Endeavoring To Keep The Unity

     | 1,473 views

    “The nearest thing to heaven on this earth is a church full of people who love the Lord, and each other.” I believe we all will concur with that statement.

    The Psalmist must have also felt this way, because he said in Psalm 133:1, “How good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!” But if it is true that a church full of people who love the Lord and each other is the nearest thing to heaven on this earth, it must also be true ...read more

    The Life Of Excuses

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 16, 2022
     | 1,403 views

    In all areas of our life, we can not help but notice that some folks are better at doing some things than others are.

    For example, this is certainly true, when it comes to: • Sports • Academics • Cooking • Building • Teaching • Saving money Sad to say, but this is also true when it comes to lying. Some are much better at telling lies than others are. Some people lie so much, that you know they are lying if their ...read more

    What Will It Take? (1 Of 2)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 16, 2022
     | 1,459 views

    The title of this sermon is, “WHAT WILL IT TAKE?” You are probably wondering what direction I plan to take in a sermon with such a title.

    I want to show you by asking a question, “WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO GET YOU TO LOVE GOD AND SERVE HIM AS YOU SHOULD?” Illus: When I think of this question, I think of the atheist school teacher who was thinking, “WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO CONVERT THIS CLASS OF YOUNG BOYS AND GIRLS OVER TO ATHEISM?” She ...read more

    Abraham and Lot were both saved men, but Lot was like many of the fathers today. The way Lot lived his life, it is difficult to believe he was saved.

    Abram had been accompanied by Lot in all his wanderings. But a separation must take place between them. Abram and his seed were to be kept distinct from all other races, as from him the promised Messiah was to spring. This also was brought about by what seemed a series of natural circumstances, ...read more

    Managing Money God's Way: Saving Series

    Contributed by Scott Bayles on Mar 19, 2022
     | 5,308 views

    What does the Bible have to say about saving money? Surprizingly, much! Using the tale of Joseph as the backdrop, we discover that saving money God's way is practical, planned, and profitable.

    Managing Money God’s Way: Saving Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove Christian Church: 10/2/16 Last Sunday I began a short three-part series about Managing Money God’s Way. Like I said last week, the number one key when it comes to managing your money is acknowledging that it’s not your money—it’s ...read more

    Trust And Obey (2 Of 2)

     | 1,838 views

    This morning we looked at something we talk, teach, preach and sing about, that is, “TRUST AND OBEY!”

    We dealt with the TRUST this morning, but this evening we would like to deal with the OBEY part of that song. Something that Peter and the early disciples understood that today’s church does not understand, is that WE CHRISTIANS ARE TO OBEY GOD. They understood that you obeyed God: • When it was ...read more

    There are churches being built all around the world. All Bible believers are excited about seeing Bible believing and Bible preaching churches being built that glorify this wonderful Savior we serve.

    But all churches being built are not for the glory of God! Illus: There was a church in Columbia, South Carolina, that was growing faster than any church in the area at one time. In fact, they advertised throughout the city that they were the “Fasting Growing Church” in the city. They were growing ...read more

    Someone has said that Genesis 1:1 is read more than any verse in the Bible.

    This is especially true in January, since many begin the year with the determination to read the Bible through that year, but often that is as far as they get. However, if they only read this one verse, it will tell them a great deal about the God of the Bible. This one scripture is considered ...read more
