    Let’s Not Make A Deal!!!

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Oct 16, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 427 views

    The very popular television program, “Let’s Make A Deal” debuted in December 1963. The program was all about MAKING A DEAL!

    I guess all of us have watched this program and enjoyed it, as some of the guests of the show made good deals and some made bad deals. While none of us have appeared on this show and played “Let’s Make A Deal,” the fact is, Satan wants to play this game with us every day. For example, the ...read more

    In the Garden of Eden, our first parents messed up grievously. They heard the voice of God telling them what to do to care for this earth, and what not to do, and then they listened not to the loving voice of God, but the envious voice of the Horrible Serpent, Satan, our adversary.

    Friday of the 10th Week in Course 2025 I suspect that I’m not the only one here today who has ever felt trapped in a deep well, a hole that has no way out. Perhaps your whole family has been in such a trap, and you have gotten to the limit of your power to get them out. Like the psalmist, you are ...read more

As we gather this morning, let's turn our hearts and minds to a passage from John's Gospel, chapter 1, verses 12-13: "Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—children born not of natural descent, nor ...read more

    When God wants to change a community He is more concerned about whether the hearts of His people are ready to be used then with those who don’t know Him yet.

    God’s voice do we really believe He can speak to us and that we can hear Him? It’s funny because people talk about hearing from God all the time, but do we really expect to hear from Him, audibly? Today we are going to look at a passage where the Luke says that the Apostle Paul had a vision where ...read more

    Not unlike other churches within the first century, Thessalonica faced much adversity and opposition. They were relentlessly attacked for their faith in Christ. However, Paul encouraged them to remain steadfast in the faith, standing firmly for the Lord.

    Having Done All, Stand 1 Thessalonians 2: 14-16 It has been a few weeks since we began to study this powerful letter to the Thessalonian church. Our last encounter revealed Paul encouraging the church to be an imitator of Christ rather than a pretender of the faith. He exhorted them to a life ...read more
