    How To Stand When It Is Difficult To Stand (1 Of 2)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 9, 2021
     | 2,211 views

    Something we hear people say today is, “We live in a changing world.” WHAT DO THEY MEAN BY THAT STATEMENT? They mean that life is constantly changing from day to day.

    We have had FIVE major revolutions in this country, that have brought about these drastic changes. (1) THE COMMERCE REVOLUTION When the commerce revolution came into existence, it replaced the agricultural age in this country. During the agricultural age, most people in this country farmed for ...read more

    How To Stand When It Is Difficult To Stand (2 Of 2)

    Preaching is a fascinating career. When a preacher first starts to preach, he soon begins to think he knows all about preaching. Then, after 5 or 10 years, he discovers how very little he knows about being a minister of the gospel.

    What a tremendous advantage it is to have a veteran minister take him under his wings, and teach him things he needs to know. Illus: Such is the case, when Dr. Odell Belger was starting in the ministry, as a young man in his mid twenties. When he was called to a church, the church had just had a ...read more

    …the Good Hand Of His God Upon Him

    Today in this sermon, we want to turn our attention to a very special man. His name is Ezra. He is one of those fellows you do not hear a great deal about, but yet he was a giant among men in the spiritual world.

    Ezra was a priest, but he was not able to serve in the temple because the temple had been destroyed. This could be why we do not hear a lot about Ezra. He was not a temple priest. Ezra is noted for other things, such as: • He studied the Word of God. In Ezra 7:6, we read that he was, “A ready ...read more

    Who Is Causing The Trouble?

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 14, 2021
     | 1,597 views

    There are many things a congregation of this size will disagree on, but one thing we all would agree on is that we live in a world that has a lot of trouble.

    What we need to do is find out WHO IS CAUSING ALL THE TROUBLE! For example, we constantly hear about the TROUBLE we are having in our schools in America. Consider the shootings, cursing, fighting, rebellion, and low academic achievements. This may sound simplistic, but anyone with common sense ...read more

    God Demands Complete Obedience

    God has given us different talents because God has different jobs for each of us to do.

    Most of us understand that, but what many do not seem to understand is what God has called them to do and equipped them to do, HE EXPECTS THEM TO DO! Our desire should be as Christ's. He said in John 4:34, "...My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work." ...read more

    At one time or other all of us have been removed from our usual roles in life and have found ourselves in strange situations. When this happened we did not know quite what to do with ourselves.

    All of us have a particular group of people that we are comfortable with. While we know some people are quite versatile and can adapt themselves to any group they associate with, others have a hard time adapting.

    Our Christian Walk

    W e hear a great deal today about the benefits of walking.

    Every good medical doctor knows the value of walking, this is why they strongly recommend it to their patients. But walking has also proven to be good for other things. Illus: A young fellow was walking in the park one day and he saw a beautiful young lady sitting on a bench reading a book. • He ...read more

    King David had a lot of problems and so do we. Many times there are things we can do to correct the problems we encounter. For example:

    (1) SOME HAVE HEALTH PROBLEMS This is a wonderful age in which we live. We hear of some folks who have vision problems. They go to the doctor for some out-patient surgery, and in a few weeks they have 20-20 vision again. Illus: I heard about an elderly retired gentleman that had severe hearing ...read more

    We live in a society where many of us recognize the need for standards.

    Even though we come to the final chapter of the book of Acts, we do not come to the end of this book.

    WHY DOES THE LORD FINISH THE BOOK OF ACTS WITH NO ENDING? This books is filled with the ACTS of God’s people, and God intends for the church to continue to serve him in this manner. If you remember, in the last sermon we saw Paul on the ship, and a storm came up and every man on board almost ...read more

    These days it has become very popular for people to take a cruise.

    What makes these cruises so special, is that for those days on the cruise people get to live the pampered life. When they get back from the cruise, it takes them several days for reality to set back in, and they start to live in the real world again. In our text, we see the apostle Paul is on a ...read more

    Acts Of The Apostles (14 Of 39)

    Many in America today, seem to be confused as to why, when we incarcerate law breakers, and send them through a rehabilitation program, they go back to doing the same crimes again, after they are released.

    Well, the problem is that we are trying to fix the wrong thing. Illus: If you had trouble with the carburetor on your car, and you took it to be fixed, and the mechanic worked on the transmission, you would find, when you drove the car from the garage, that you still had the same trouble as ...read more

    Acts Of The Apostles (12 Of 39)

     | 1,158 views

    Remember that we read in the sixth and seventh chapters of Acts, about the life and death of that great deacon, Stephen.

    The church lamented his death, and probably wondered who could take his place. They did not need to wonder, because when the Lord takes a saint home, He always raises up someone to take up where that saint left off. When we got to chapter 8, by the time we got to the fifth verse, we found that ...read more

    Acts Of The Apostles (11 Of 39)

     | 1,488 views

    Chapters 6 and 7, told us how God used the great deacon, Stephen, and how he gave his life for the gospel.

    Now we are going to study about how that affected the church. When some people who belong to church die, it does not have much of an impact on God's work, because they did not love the Lord, or His church. But when a man like Stephen dies, it leaves a vacuum for some time. Look at verse ...read more

    In chapter six, the apostles felt the need to bring before the church the task of selecting seven deacons.

    They chose seven outstanding men. However, one of those men stands out head and shoulders above the rest. His name was Stephen. Most of chapters six and seven deal with Stephen, this man of God, who was so greatly used by God. Have you ever wondered why they singled Stephen out. The church ...read more
