Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Mar 20, 2021

One of my favorite gospel preachers A.W. Tozer said, “What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.”

A Life Of Ingratitude (Thanksgiving Sermon)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 6, 2022

It is sad that today in churches we find many people who have not REJECTED salvation in the Lord Jesus Christ, but they have NEGLECTED the salvation they have in Christ.

We all know a great deal about REJECTION and rejection can be very painful. We normally learn about rejection when we are a child, but if we do not learn anything about it as a child, we probably learned something about it when we began dating.

This will be our fourth and final message in this series on stewardship. So far we have talked about our being stewards of INFORMATION GOD HAS ENTRUSTED US WITH and our being stewards of MONEY GOD HAS ENTRUSTED US WITH.

He Taught Them Many Parables… (The Thief And The Servants) # 19

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022

As we look at the coming of the Lord as a thief in the night, the emphasis is on the element of surprise.

For example, a thief does not call the home that he plans to enter and say, “About one O’clock this evening I plan to arrive.” When he enters a home, he wants the element of surprise to be on his side.And the Bible tells us in Matthew 24:36, “But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the ...read more
