    The Depths Of Despair

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 6, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,022 views

    This message looks at some Bible passages on the cave of despair. How do people tend to act when they find themselves in such a dark place? What do we need to do, in order for God to deliver us into a place of hope and life?

    I want to get us started with our message this morning by sharing an illustration that I’ve used on numerous occasions: Back when I was in college, I used to go cave exploring with a friend as often as possible. Sometimes we went about twice a week. Well, one evening we followed a lead for a new ...read more

    Acts Of The Apostles # 27 - 39

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022
     | 2,019 views

    In this portion of Scripture, we have the opportunity to travel with Paul while he is at Ephesus.

    Some of the places that Paul visited would not have impressed us, but we can see from these verses that God used Paul in a great way. This is the place Paul wanted to visit on his second missionary journey, and God forbid him to come, but now, God not only allowed him to come, but God gave Paul an ...read more

    A Conversation With A Cousin

     | 1,925 views

    In this passage of scripture we see something that is out of the ordinary in the life of John the Baptist.

    Many times life becomes boring for some of us because day after day it is the same old stuff. But then some days we come to a place in life where things are not routine at all. We see such a situation in the Scripture passage we read a few minutes ago. John lived like we all do. He preached day ...read more

    A Conversation With A Woman At The Well

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 15, 2022
     | 3,872 views

    Today we want to look at a conversation between the Lord Jesus and a woman at the well. We find this conversation recorded in the gospel of John.

    As many of you know, John is not included in the synoptic gospels. WHY? The Lord’s earthly ministry was around 3 1/2 years. • The synoptic gospels, Matthew, Mark, and Luke deal with the last year of His ministry. They dealt with a lot of things in His ministry, but not in much detail. • The ...read more

     | 1,327 views

    It is easy to understand why we have so many depressed people in our society when you consider all the depressing things that are being dumped on them daily.

    (1) TAXES CAN BE DEPRESSING We continuously hear of the problems of our school systems. When you ask the school board what it is going to take to solve this problem, they say, “MORE MONEY!” • Will Rogers said that Alexander Hamilton originated the “put and take system” in our national treasury: ...read more

    Victory Over Fear

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 23, 2022
     | 2,362 views

    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!

     | 7,697 views

    This message discusses missing the mark with God, how it happens, and the resulting consequence. It also shares how to get our lives centered and on target with God, and hit the bulls eye that will get us into heaven.

    Since Jesus Is Divine, Could He Have Sinned When The Devil Tempted Him In The Wilderness?

    A look at what the Bible says about the Temptations of Jesus

    "And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness for forty days, being tempted by the devil. And he ate nothing during those days.

    Promoting What We Have

    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,424 views

    If we fail to recognize what God is doing in our midst, then His blessings may depart from us. Instead of looking at what we "don't" have, we need to look at what we "do" have, and then tell others what God is doing in our church.

    I’ve entitled our message today: “Promoting What We Have.” And we’re going to take a look at four points to boldly sharing with others what God is doing in our life and in our church. I once heard it said that you should appreciate what you have, before it becomes what you had.(1) This is an ...read more

    Are The Winds Of Pentecost Still Blowing

     | 18,287 views

    Pentecost is not the idea of God, or a piece of God, but the real presence of the Living God the hope of Glory in you. On Pentecost there was a new wind that was set loose upon the earth with a fresh breath of hope and empowerment. The church was born from the wind and fire of Pentecost.
