    The Body Of Christ

     | 5,777 views

    If we desire to impact our community for Jesus Christ, then we need to be unified. Using the illustration of the church as a human body, Paul shared how a church that is divided will fail to function properly; or perhaps, even fail to survive.

    “A father asked his young son to break a bundle of sticks. He returned a little later to find the boy frustrated in the task. He had raised the bundle high and smashed it on his knee, but he only bruised his knee. He had set the bundle against a wall and stomped real hard with his foot, but the ...read more

    We are engaged in a spiritual battle, and we must hold our ground at all costs.

    The Battle in Christ Text: Eph. 6:10-20 Introduction 1. Illustration: Video clip from the movie "Gettysburg." Scene 28. Key phrase, "We've got to hold it!" 2. It is fitting that this text, which may be one of the richest texts in all the New Testament, occurs at the end ...read more

    Christ The Firstfruits.

     | 1,344 views

    Just as in Adam all die, so in Christ all are made alive.

    CHRIST THE FIRSTFRUITS. 1 Corinthians 15:19-26. Without the resurrection of Jesus Christ, there is no gospel at all (1 Corinthians 15:12-13), and we are of all men most vain and miserable (1 Corinthians 15:14-19). Thankfully, we are reminded with a sigh of relief, Christ is risen from the ...read more

    The Mind Of Christ

     | 2,273 views

    A college boy was explaining the reason he flunked out in college was because he had a clinker in his thinker.

    Did you know that about ninety-nine-and-nine-tenths of the problems that confront people is because they have that same problem--they have a clinker in their thinkers? We laugh this off as not being important, but God sees the way people think as being very important. Illus: We see this in the ...read more

    In Christ #4

     | 642 views

    We have looked at our REDEMPTION, and praise the Lord for this. In this message we will look at our REVELATION. (And, in the following message we will look at our REWARDS.)

    In verse 3 we are told that God wants to bless us. Then Paul gives us a grocery list of things in the next few verses that God has blessed us with. Illus: One of the biggest days of the church year should be Thanksgiving Day. Why? It is obvious. Because we all have so much to be thankful ...read more

    In this sermon we will look at our REDEMPTION. (In the next two messages we will look at our REVELATION, and our REWARDS.)

    It is my prayer that by this time you are closer to the Lord. Illus: We do not have to be like the man who had been hired to paint lines on the highway. As the story goes, this man’s job consisted of painting the white lines in the highway. -The first day he painted three miles of lines. -The ...read more

    As we preach through Ephesians we find it is not a difficult book to UNDERSTAND.

    Illus: Speaking of things DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND reminds me of the story of the man who was walking on the beach one day and he came across a bottle. He kicked it and a “Genie” came swooping out. The “Genie” thanked him for releasing him from the bottle and told the man he was so thankful that ...read more

    Today we are going to begin preaching our way through the book of Ephesians. The title of this series of sermons is “IN CHRIST.”

    As we embark on this study we will see how we who are IN CHRIST have riches the lost world knows nothing about. It is sad enough that sinners know nothing about these “riches,” but sadder still is the fact that even many Christians do not know of the riches they have IN CHRIST. Illus: When I ...read more

    The Deity Of Christ

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 4, 2022
     | 1,736 views

    Something we Christians have always taken for granted as we witnessed to the lost is the deity of Christ.

    That is, as we talked to sinners we would take it for granted that they understood that Jesus was the son of Mary and Joseph, but more important, that He is the DIVINE SON OF GOD. In past years very seldom have we come across anyone who did not believe this Biblical truth. However, this is ...read more

    The practical steps to having the Mind of Christ

    The Mind of Christ Philippians 2:5-11 (part 1) Good morning. T.W. Hunt has a great study on the Mind of Christ that we did previously. Some of our teaching was borrowed from that study. He said, “Suppose Christ broke through the veil that separates the spiritual from the physical and audibly ...read more

    Paul said his earthly achievements were worthless compared to gaining Christ

    To Gain Christ Philippians 3:1-8 Good morning. The music group “Bread” had a soft rock song in the early 1970’s called “Everything I own”. Some of the lyrics said… “You sheltered me from harm, kept me warm, kept me warm You gave my life to me, set me free, set me free. The finest years I ever ...read more

    Ministers Of Christ.

     | 358 views

    Trustworthiness is more important than either success or popularity. Ministers are accountable to God.

    MINISTERS OF CHRIST. 1 Corinthians 4:1-5. 1 CORINTHIANS 4:1. a). “Let a man so account of us.” Of whom? Of Paul and Apollos (cf. 1 Corinthians 4:6). b). “as ministers (attendants) of Christ.” Not lords over the Church (cf. 1 Peter 5:3), but servants of the Lord of the Church. Servants, ...read more

    In the last four sermons on eschatology, we have been having a shouting time talking about: • THE RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH, • SECOND COMING OF CHRIST • TWO SERMONS ON THE RECEIVING OF OUR GLORIFIED BODIES.

    But today we are going to be talking about something that is horrifying to even think about. We are going to be talking about TRIBULATION PERIOD in the book of Revelation. Most of the Book of Revelation deals with the subject of that period of time that is known as the “Tribulation Period”. ...read more
