Someone Must Come Preaching

Contributed by Eric Wright on Jul 3, 2022

Preaching The Unadulterated Word Of God

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 14, 2021

As we were growing up, many of our parents tried to warn us about dangers that we faced, but we could not see them until later in life.

As the children of God, we used to wonder what the Word of God was warning us about in Matthew 24:22-23. We read, “And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is ...read more

Preaching From Philippians #1

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 28, 2021

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

Preaching From Philippians #2

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 28, 2021

One of the reasons that it is a sin for Christians to take drugs or drink alcoholic beverages is because these are substances that control our behavior.

These are things that will ruin our lives and cause us to make fools out of ourselves. There is no way that a Christian can be controlled by the Holy Spirit if they are controlled by these substances. But these are not the only things that control Christians. For example, there are many ...read more

Preaching From Philippians #3

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 28, 2021

In the last sermon, we dealt with Paul stating that whether he lived or died, his purpose for living was for the Lord Jesus.

When he wrote to the Philippian church, he was in prison. In prison he knew that he faced a capital crime and that he might be executed. If you were in prison and you thought that you might die, what kind of letter would you write? We do not have to guess at what kind of letter the Apostle Paul ...read more

Preaching From Philippians #4

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 28, 2021

In Chapter one, Paul let these Christians in Philippi know that he wanted to come to them, but couldn’t because he was in jail.

He also wanted them to know that his being in jail might bring about his death, but if it did, they were not to let it shake their faith in the Lord Jesus. He did not want them to feel sorry for him or for themselves, because Paul let it be known that for him “TO LIVE IS CHRIST AND TO DIE IS ...read more

Preaching From Philippians #5

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 28, 2021

This little passage of scripture is loaded with wonderful teachings about the Lord Jesus Christ. Some believe it is one of the greatest passages in the Bible concerning the Lord Jesus Christ.

It gives us a picture of the humility of Christ like we have never seen before. If the church today is ever going to accomplish anything for the Lord, we are going to have to know and possess the humility of Christ. Illus: Some of the New Testament Christians caught this vision. The attitude of ...read more

Preaching From Philippians #6

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 28, 2021

In this passage of scripture, Paul talks to the Philippian Christians about salvation. That may seem strange because these people said they were Believers.

A good pastor deals with the subject of salvation for two reasons: (1) He knows it is a possibility that many are deceived about their salvation. The Lord Himself dealt with this deception in Matthew 7:22-23, we read, “Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy ...read more
