Pilate's Wife

Contributed by Claude Alexander on Apr 2, 2022

It is surprising, and sad, that the only testimony (in effect) on Jesus’ behalf during the trial was made, not by any of Jesus’ disciples, nor apostles, nor followers, but by Pilate’s wife.

Pilate's Wife Matt. 27:11-26 The chief priests with the elders and scribes and the whole council of the Sanhedrin had decided to put Jesus to death. They had Jesus brought before Pilate the governor to pronounce the death sentence. (Mark 15:1; Luke 22:66; 23:1) Pontius Pilate was the fifth ...read more

The Book Of Ruth (4 Of 4)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022

In the book of Ruth, chapter 1, we covered about 11 to 12 years of Naomi’s life while she lived in Moab. However, by the time we get to chapter 2, Ruth becomes the star of the story.

She is noted for two special things in her life: • She became the grandmother of King David • Her greatest honor is that the birth of Christ can be traced back to her The Book of Ruth is considered to be a wonderful book for many reasons, such as: (1) IT HAS ROMANCE Some consider it one of the ...read more

The Book Of Ruth (2 Of 4)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022

The first sermon from the Book of Ruth showed us the effects of sin on a family that did not trust God for their DIRECTIONS or PROVISIONS.

Look at verse 1 again, we read, “Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehemjudah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.” Look at the words “Bethlehemjudah” and “Moab.” • Bethlehem ...read more

Don’t Worry… Be Happy!

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 22, 2022

Several years ago the #1 song on the pop charts was titled: “Don’t Worry, Be Happy”.

It was an upbeat song with an upbeat message. While there was no theological message intended in the song, I think we Christians could take a lesson from the concept it employs. This song’s concept of “Don’t Worry, Be Happy!” should be the desire and experience of every Christian. In the world ...read more

God Looks On The Heart

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 25, 2022

The nation of Israel is a nation bless by God. Did you know that God actually led them by a CLOUD BY DAY AND A PILLAR OF FIRE BY NIGHT.

No nation can boast and say that the Lord led them the same way. Other nations were led by kings. However, when Samuel grew old, and Israel looked around and saw other nations had kings, they decided they WISH they also had kings like other nations. Looking around and wishing for something ...read more

When Trouble Comes

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 28, 2022

When we all get in trouble we start to look for a way to get out of trouble. But where we look for help makes a big difference.

Illus: That reminds me of two Canadians, Elmer and Huey that live in Newfoundland. They were walking down the street in New York looking for a way to make some easy money. They only had $350 between them and when it was gone they would be broke and on the streets. They saw a sign on a store ...read more

"Stepping Out” Pt. 6 Series

Contributed by Sean Dees on Mar 3, 2022

We have to share and write the vision in clear and simple ways so that the believers can see it and run with it. We have to get them to see what we are seeing from the Lord.

In this series we have gone from the former things to the latter. I asked for you to get plugged in to the vision, and then challenged you to leave your comfort zone and run to the gift zone, which prepared you for the challenge zone which takes you to the end zone. I told you that you have a ...read more

Provoking Thoughts From 1 John (16 Of 16)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 10, 2022

In a previous message we learned the apostle John had witnessed several undeniable proofs that Jesus was indeed the Son of God, Savior of the world.

. No wonder, when he saw Jesus walking on the shore one day, he said, (John 1:29,34-36), “The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world....And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.

Acts Of The Apostles (20 Of 39)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022

Today we enjoy the freedom we have in America, and think very little about the men and women who bought and paid for it!

Illus: It is easy for me to understand why some of the old soldiers who faced death itself, some even lost legs, eyes, arms, etc., become angry when they see people who have done nothing to win, or keep, their freedom, wanting to burn the symbol of that freedom, the flag. Well, that is not the ...read more
