     | 2,589 views

    A sermon about hearing God's call and acting on it.

    “I’m a Sinful Person” Luke 5:1-11 It’s been said that “Life is what happens to you while you’re making other plans.” The disciples didn’t get their call from Jesus when they were looking for it.

    Israel’s Greatest General (2 Of 2)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 1, 2022
     | 1,455 views

    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

    Again we are going to visit that famous party that Belshazzar gave.

    We mentioned in a previous message that party was noted in the scriptures for several reasons, such as... (1) Belshazzar, the KING, personally gave it. (2) There were so many who attended it. (3) Most of the “elite” folks of that day and time attended it. Most of all, it was noted because ...read more

     | 3,341 views

    "Do Overs" We all have them. The disciples got a "do over", because Jesus was in the boat. Jesus makes people different. Making people different is why Jesus was born. Quote by a man who will not get a "do over" on Judgment day.

    In Jesus Holy Name February 6, 2022 Luke 5:1-11 Redeemer “Fishermen: Jesus Gives Them a Do Over” Do over days. Have you ever had one? You would be a most unusual person if you didn't have a few do over days in your history. Think back. Come on. Be honest. I'm talking ...read more

    The scientists tell us that the world is headed for environmental catastrophe. That's what Revelation says too. What should we think about it?

But these hard parts are in the Bible ...read more
