     | 4,866 views

    Lazarus would one day die again, and he would have another funeral, but because of him, everyone that encountered him would receive a Living Testimony!

    The Changed (v.2 but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table) • Martha – Still serving, but now with no complaints for Jesus • Mary – Still at His feet, but now preparing for Jesus’ burial • Lazarus – Still with his sisters, but now alive and sitting at dinner with Jesus. He was alive and ...read more

    WE OUGHT TO OBEY GOD… Preached: _____________ Text: Acts 5:26-29 Intro: When the disciples were beaten and imprisoned for their spreading of the gospel, they were told not to mention the name of Christ again.

    The Lesson Of Fear

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 16, 2022
     | 2,418 views

    In Psalm 34 we have an unusual situation. This Psalm took place when David was having to flee from King Saul for his life.

    To spare his life, David did an unusual thing, he went unto the land of the Philistines. When he arrived however, the people skeptically received him. The King in Psalm 34 has caused some to believe the Bible contradicts itself. For example: • In 1 Samuel 21 the Bible refers to the King of Gath ...read more

    Ministers collect most of their knowledge from two places.

    (1) THEY LEARN A LOT FROM BIBLE COLLEGES AND SEMINARIES When young pastors graduate from Bible College or Seminary, they are excited about preaching and teaching all the things they have learned from God’s Word. But as much as they might learn in Bible College and Seminary, also- (2) THEY LEARN ...read more

    Predictions About Jesus

    Contributed by Mark Schaeufele on Mar 17, 2022
     | 1,475 views

    The world needs to come to grips with the full extent of God’s love.

    PREDICTIONS ABOUT JESUS Text: Lk. 18:31-34 Introduction 1. Illustration: There was a time when skeptics claimed that the prophecies in Isaiah 53 were too detailed, too specific, too accurate to be mere coincidence. I agreed. But then the skeptics argued that the ONLY logical explanation was that ...read more

    The Hunchback

    Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 19, 2022
     | 5,216 views

    Many people are emotionally crippled and don't even realize it. Jesus saw a woman's suffering and showed the compassion of God by healing her. He called her to Himself. God is still the healer today! Ends with a modern healing story.

    THE HUNCHBACK Luke 13:10-17 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. While taking a law class in personal injury litigation, I got into a car accident and had to wear a cervical collar. Two weeks later, I tripped over a wire and ended up on crutches. 2. When I hobbled into class shortly after these mishaps, ...read more

    The Armor Of God 6 Of 8

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 24, 2022
     | 2,342 views

    So often when preachers preach on the armor of God they will deal with one certain piece of the armor, but not the whole armor of God. This kind of preaching needs to be done with caution.

    Why? Because anytime we preach on the armor of God, we need to stress what this passage of Scripture is stressing, that is, we need to put on the WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD, not just a particular piece. The fact is, if we do not put on the whole armor of God, we might as well not put any on. Why? Because ...read more

    Why Christians Do Not Continue In Sin (1of 3)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 24, 2022
     | 2,239 views

    In chapter 5:12-21, we discovered that sin entered the world through Adam, who was the head of the human race.

    His one sin plunged the whole human race into sin, because all mankind was in his loins when he sinned. The Bible tells us that mankind is born into sin, but even if It did not state this, it would not be hard to prove. Illus: All you have to do is watch a newborn baby. You will see immediately: ...read more

     | 1,229 views

    A man who had been sick was recently asked how he was feeling.

    He responded by saying that he was not feeling good. He went on to say, “In fact. I felt so bad this morning, that I looked in the obituary column to see if my name was there.” He said this as a joke, but the fact is, many Christians have not yet come to understand that their name is in the ...read more

    He’s All Around Me 3 Of 3

     | 1,533 views

    We have been looking at some of the things the Bible teaches about the wonderful God we serve.

    There are some folks who speak of Him as the “Man upstairs”. Any time you hear someone refer to Almighty God like this, it is safe to assume they do not know the first thing about God. God is not a MAN and he does not have human attributes like mankind with limitations. WHAT KIND OF GOD IS HE? ...read more

     | 2,116 views

    In a previous sermon, as we examined the God of this Bible, we discovered God’s Omniscience.

    God knows all things. His knowledge is infinite (unlimited) where ours is very limited. Speaking of having limited knowledge, sometimes it is more noticeable in some folks. Illus: For example, a man says to God: • "God, why did you make a woman so beautiful?" God says: "So you ...read more

    Some of you may remember a young lady by the name of Tracy Lyperd, who was a beauty queen in VA a few years ago.

    She was all smiles as she wore her crown. But when we read of her in the newspaper again, she no longer had a smile on her face because she was in some serious trouble with the law. Her boy friend had dumped her and married another woman. She drove 250 miles to seek revenge. She took along a ...read more

    Born In Sin…born Not To Sin

     | 3,249 views

    We live in a society that knows a great deal about the PHYSICAL BIRTH, but very little about the SPIRITUAL BIRTH!

    Illus: A mother was watching a PBS special showing the birth of a baby. The mom thought it would be a good starting point for answering questions about the facts of life. • As her five-year-old studied the baby coming out of the birth canal, he asked, "Mom, does that hurt?" • Recalling ...read more

    How To Be A Do-Gooder

    Ted Bundy is well known for one thing; he was a serial killer. He was a nice looking young man and he favored killing pretty, dark-haired cheerleader type girls.

    He would bludgeon his prey to death with blunt objects and was fond of raping and biting them. He was a clean-cut serial killer that confessed to 28 killings, but other estimates indicate that he brutally killed as many as 33 to 100 female victims during the 1970's. After numerous appeals, ...read more
