    A Great Door Is Opened Unto Me (1 Of 2)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 22, 2022
     | 2,875 views

    There is nothing in our life that affects us like the opportunities that confront us each day.

    When the door of opportunity is opened for us, we have to be willing to enter. Illus: Legend has it that the Mormons always gave Mark Twain a hard time about his opposition to their teaching that a man can have many wives. He was always looking for an opportunity to set them straight. That ...read more

    Understanding Job’s Redeemer

     | 7,259 views

    Because we live in a fallen world, there will be times in our life when we will have to endure trials and difficulty. Job went through such a time; however, he had Someone to stand in his defense. Job called Him his Redeemer.

    I want to share with you this evening a message from the book of Job. It is a message that gives hope to each of us who are struggling with sin, whether it be the consequences of sin in this life, or the consequences of sin that we must face in the Day of Judgment. In this life we suffer from sin ...read more

    Follow Me 2 Of 2

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 25, 2022
     | 1,140 views

    In a previous sermon I preached on the importance of following the right people.

    When Jesus was here on earth He stated on one occasion, "...FOLLOW ME, and I will make you fishers of men." It is interesting that the Bible not only records that He told these men to follow Him, but also it records that they were smart enough to obey. Look at Matt. 4:20, it states, ...read more

    The Sifting Of The Saints

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 25, 2022
     | 6,958 views

    This passage of scripture has to do with the “sifting” of the saints. Before we can fully appreciate what this passage is teaching, we have to know something about sifting.

    Illus: Some of the older women in this congregation can remember when years ago they had a “sifter” in their kitchen. This was something they could hold with one hand, and use the other hand to turn a handle that rotated a wire wheel inside the sifter basket. As they prepared a meal for their ...read more

    Proper Preparation For The Second Coming Of Christ Series

     | 7,598 views

    I believe we are living in the last days because every day since Jesus ascended into Heaven after His resurrection is one of the last days – we just don’t know how many days, months or years there will be till He returns.

    Proper preparation for the second coming of Christ For a few weeks, God has kept leading me back to a specific passage in 1 Thessalonians chapter 5 which I believe He wants me to share with you today. Let me give you a brief introduction to put the verses we are going to look at in context. 1 ...read more

    How many here can say they know their place and part in God’s story and are living it out? Why do you think you are where you are today?

    How many here have attempted to trace your family heritage, maybe asked your relatives about your great grandfather or great grandmother, great aunts and uncles? It is always fascinating to trace the story of your lineage - where your family came from, how your ancient relatives lived, what they ...read more

     | 8,265 views

    The story of Elisha and the widow with the pot of oil teaches us a lot about what Jesus did for us and what we are now called upon to do for the Kingdom of God. God wants to fill as many empty vessels as will come to him.

    Empty Vessels Sunday, October 30, 2022 – 10 am In the prophetic times which we live we see so much of the fulfillment of God’s Word all around us. The Spirit of God is moving in the earth to find as many empty vessels as He can that will be willing to be filled with the Oil of Gladness and will ...read more

    2 of 4. Luke lays out the historicity of Jesus’ burial & resurrection. Jesus was dead, buried, & resurrected. But What details surround His burial & resurrection? 13 implications from the details surrounding Jesus’ burial & resurrection.

     | 2,045 views

    The picture of a great church in Acts 4:32-37 shows us that the church was faithful in two key areas.

    Introduction When you think of a great church, what comes to mind? We live in a day in which there is a lot of confusion over this question. Many churches are a reflection of our society which has become satiated with entertainment. Neil Postman, in his profound book titled, Amusing Ourselves ...read more

    Moses And His Mentor Jethro

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Apr 11, 2023
     | 6,918 views

    The message looks at a brief incident of mentoring in the life of Moses. And without this mentoring that took place, Moses’ life could have been quite different. Let's see if we can learn some things about mentoring from God's word.

    For the next few Sundays I want to dip into the Old Testament teachings. There are individuals in the Old Testament that we can learn a lot of things about and from. One of those things is mentoring others. Currently we have several individuals in our church who have volunteered to be mentors to ...read more

    So, I want to set the scene for you today. I would like you to put yourself in the shoes of the disciples. As we gather today to reflect on the profound mystery and deep significance of the Last Supper

    We live in a world where everything is instant, where trends only last for a while. What was famous a month ago is not popular anymore. So what happens in easter is that we tend to say it does not trend anymore because we heard it so so so many times. We know Jesus was betrayed, we know Jesus was ...read more
