    Acts Of The Apostles (7 Of 39)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022
     | 1,307 views

    Luke wrote to Theophilus, telling him of some of the great events of the early church.

    As he tells of these events, it is like an unwinding story in which one event leads into the next. For example, after Pentecost, he leads into chapter 3, and tells of Peter and John going into the temple. He tells of the man who had been crippled from birth, asking them for alms. Luke related ...read more

    Staying Upbeat When You Are Being Beaten Up!

     | 2,730 views

    Everyone has troubles. Some are better than others at covering their troubles up, but I can assure you that everyone has troubles.

    Illus: Did you hear about the four expectant fathers that were in a Minneapolis hospital waiting room, while their wives were in labor? • The nurse arrived and announced to the first man, "Congratulations sir, you're the father of twins." "What a coincidence" the man said ...read more

    When The Brook Dries Up

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 16, 2022
     | 3,453 views

    Somehow we have the mistaken idea that the Christian life is like a fairy tale.

    That is, you accept the Lord as your Savior, and then you can live happily ever after, and never have another crisis in your life! But there is no such life for any of us while we are here on earth. It does not matter: • If a person is rich or poor • What country a person lives in • What family a ...read more

     | 751 views

    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

    The Choices God Makes

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Mar 17, 2022
     | 2,172 views

    Scripture uses the term “the elect” to describe Christians. That word (eklogç) has the meaning of picking or choosing. Christians are the chosen ones of God. He made the choice, and He set the standard for the choice.

    Alba 3-13-2022 THE CHOICES GOD MAKES Romans 9:6-33 It's not fair! That is a cry from many people about situations that don’t go their way! Today in our society there are many who have taken this to a new level! Someone will say, “It’s not fair that little Johnny’s team has to lose, so let’s ...read more

    Is Your Best Offense Really A Good Defense?

    Contributed by Darian Catron on Mar 17, 2022
     | 2,319 views

    Why are so many so offended by everything today, and are we exempt from this problem? What is the best response (the Christlike one) when things are offensive to us?

    INTRODUCTION: Illustration- There’s an old saying – “The best defense is a good offense.” It’s been used in sports, in business, and in war. It’s also known as the strategic offensive principle of war. The theory is that being proactive with a strong offensive action will make your opponent so ...read more

    The Fear Of The Lord

    Notice the Bible says that Hananiah FEARED GOD ABOVE MANY.

    That is when you take the life of Hananiah and compare it to other men, his life revealed he feared God much more than most men. In this society in which we live, we do not hear very much about the “Fear Of The Lord”. One of the reasons we do not SEE and HEAR much about the fear of the Lord is ...read more

    Cs Lewis Style Observations About Reality

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Dec 28, 2021
     | 1,051 views

    If I may make a CS Lewis'esc observation about humanity: No one is really old. Every person ever born was always intended to be forever young, and has a soul which feels a natural inclination to always exist, thus aging and death is a profound surprise to us.

    Today we dig into the book of Revelation, one of my favorite books in the whole Bible, though I think I probably say that about every book in the Bible.

    The image of the Christian life is one of fruitfulness and vitality. What does this really mean and how do we know if we are producing fruit?

    Living Under Authority Series

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jan 2, 2022
     | 4,202 views

    We see the governing mandate, its mission and its means. Human authorities are used by God to achieve His sovereign purposes. We submit to Him and live as good citizens.

    I am not sure if you noticed this, we are always living under some kind of authority in life. • As children, we live under the authority of our parents. In schools, our teachers. At work, our superiors. In church, pastors and leaders. As citizens, our government. • None of these authorities is ...read more

    Most mothers have known the pain of having to place their babies in a day-care facility for the first time and knowing they would have to be away from them for eight or nine hours while they went to work.

    Illus: Recently one mother, who had to do this with her first baby, explained that she began to cry as she wrapped that little eight-pound boy up in his warm blanket to get him ready for the day-care. She said that throughout the day she was constantly wondering what he was doing. Jesus knows ...read more

     | 6,844 views

    At one time or other all of us have been removed from our usual roles in life and have found ourselves in strange situations. When this happened we did not know quite what to do with ourselves.

    All of us have a particular group of people that we are comfortable with. While we know some people are quite versatile and can adapt themselves to any group they associate with, others have a hard time adapting.

     | 1,478 views

    In the previous sermon we talked about Elijah, who was Elisha’s predecessor.

    We learned that Elisha followed Elijah everywhere he went. Elisha followed Elijah from Gilgal to Beth-el, to Jericho, to Jordan. Elijah asked Elisha to “Tarry here...” three times, but every time Elisha would say, “...As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee...” Elijah, ...read more
