    The Journey Of Faith Series

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Dec 8, 2014
     | 9,334 views

    It is through Jesus that God speaks to you and me – no matter how dark the times, no matter how difficult the way, no matter how unfaithful people around us may be. God speaks to us through Jesus, and he calls us to himself just as he did Ruth.

    The book of Ruth is the story of an extended family living in a dangerous place during turbulent times. The story is told in four scenes, with a chapter devoted to each scene. Chapter 1 is about a journey, chapter 2 a day in the field, chapter 3 a night to remember, and chapter 4 a morning that ...read more

    God takes us on – just as Boaz took on Ruth – and he makes promises to us…and gracious provision. And he “works all things together for good to those who love him, who are called according to his purpose” (Rom. 8:29).

    You’ve heard the one, I ‘m sure, about the lonely frog who goes to see a fortune-teller. He’s told not to worry. She says, “You’re going to meet a beautiful young girl, and she will want to know everything about you.” “That’s great!” the ...read more

    The Praise Of Ezra Series

    Contributed by Norman Bernad on Aug 5, 2021
     | 3,499 views

    Ezra was a direct descendant of Aaron the chief priest (7:1–5), thus he was a priest and scribe in his own right. His zeal for God and God’s Law spurred Ezra to lead a group of Jews back to Israel during King Artaxerxes’s reign over the Persian Empire

    The Praise of EZRA Ezra: 7 Ezra 7:11-28 Psalms 69:1-16 Illustration The Duke of Wellington, the British military leader who defeated Napoleon at Waterloo, was not an easy man to serve under. He was brilliant, demanding, and not one to shower his subordinates with compliments. Yet even Wellington ...read more

    Teachings Of Titus #6

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 24, 2022
     | 1,872 views

    Pastors enjoy preaching about what it is like living our lives with God.

    The Bible is filled with sermon material that we can draw from as we preach on this wonderful Christian life that God has blessed us with. But also the Bible gives us some passages that tell us what our life was like before we accepted the Lord Jesus as our personal Savior. Such is the case in ...read more

    Teachings Of Titus #5

     | 2,089 views

    We Christians recognize that we can do very little about the leadership in our government. If we could, we would have done something a long time ago.

    Someone once said in humor, “We have the best politicians that money can buy!” But what is sad about this humor, is that many times when it comes to our public officials it is the truth. Sometimes I wish we could do to our politicians what a company did to a farmer. Illus: An elderly farmer ...read more

    Teachings Of Titus #3

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 24, 2022
     | 2,112 views

    In the previous sermon in this series, in Titus 1:10-16, Paul dealt with the false teachers, and told Titus that their mouths must be stopped.

    Why? Because he said the words they were preaching were damnable words that were “Subverting whole households” to go astray. One of the sad things about those who fall into false religions is that they aggressively do everything they can to convert their complete families. This is typical of the ...read more

    Teachings Of Titus #2

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 24, 2022
     | 1,893 views

    I would like to remind you again that Timothy and Titus were two young ministers that Paul personally led to the Lord and trained for the ministry.

    One of the needs of the church today, is for young ministers to recognize the need to work with a seasoned pastor and learn as much from him as they can. Illus: Just because a young person graduates from college and has a college diploma in his hands, the business world does not hire them as a ...read more

    Preaching From Philippians (1 Of 8)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 31, 2022
     | 1,855 views

    In Paul’s writings, his greetings varied from church to church. He made the greetings fit the church he was addressing and the things he wanted to talk about.

    For example, when he wrote to the Corinthians he stated that he was an Apostle in his greetings. Look at 1 Cor. 1:1 “Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother.” He did not mention that he was an Apostle in his address to the Philippians! He ...read more
