    The Thessalonians # 2 (2 Of 2)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 6, 2022
     | 1,305 views

    In a previous message we learned how Paul brought the gospel message to the Thessalonians.

    For three Sabbath days he preached nothing to them but that Christ • Came. • Suffered. • Died. • Rose from the dead. • Was the Son of God. We find that churches are not spiritually strong that are built on a music program, as important as that may be, nor on a youth program, as important as that ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,340 views

    A sermon about loving people the way Jesus does.

    “A New Way Forward” Mark 6:30-44 Jesus liked to eat. The disciples of John the Baptist noticed this enough to ask Jesus why He didn’t fast. Jesus’ enemies noticed this enough to ask the disciples why Jesus ate with tax collectors and sinners. They called Him a glutton and a drunk. Jesus’ ...read more

     | 2,012 views

    Jeremiah (like us) was told to speak God's message to the Israelites. He got a cold reception. He decided he wouldn't speak any more, but God's Word, bottled up inside, became like fire in his bones! My Question is: Do YOU have fire in your bones?

    IS THERE FIRE IN YOUR BONES? Jer. 20:1-9 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: One-Liners 1. I accidentally went grocery shopping on an empty stomach and now I’m the proud owner of aisle 4. 2.

    A communion sermon based on Isaiah 40 and 53 (#30 in 66in52: A One Year Journey Through the Bible)

    Good morning! I invite you to turn in your Bibles to Isaiah 40. How many of you know what I am talking about when I say “comfort food?” Is there a dish or food that comes to mind? Usually when I think of comfort food, I’m really thinking about binge food—like a carton of Ben and Jerry’s ice ...read more

    Guilty Conscience Series

    Contributed by Mark Schaeufele on Apr 3, 2025
     | 346 views

    We are all sinners, and with that brings conviction by the Holy Spirit and the guilt that sin brings. The way to be set free from both the sin and the guilt is believing and receiving Jesus as your Savior.

    GUILTY CONSCIOUS Text: Acts 24:22-27 Introduction 1. Oswald Chambers said, "Conviction of sin is one of the rarest things that ever strikes a man. It is the threshold of an understanding of God. Jesus Christ said that when the Holy Spirit came, He would convict of sin, and when the Holy ...read more

    How do we live out Jesus' call to love our enemies?

    “Doing the Gospel” Luke 6:27-38 Raise your hand if you live by these instructions from Jesus all the time? Anyone? Why not? What’s gone wrong? Is Jesus way off base? Does He expect too much of us? Theologian N.T. Wright says the following about these instructions from Jesus in Luke ...read more

    Two Kings (January 5, 2020)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Dec 5, 2023
     | 1,445 views

    In today’s text we have the story of two kings who are poles apart. One is ruthless and his kingdom is fleeting and the other is God’s only begotten Son whose kingdom is forever (Luke 1:32- 33).

    Matthew 2:1-12  Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem,  (2)  saying, “Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.” ...read more

    You Can Get There From Here

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 9, 2025
     | 94 views

    Hezekiah’s revival shows that true renewal begins with repentance — a turning from sin and toward God that opens the floodgates of divine mercy.

    Sometimes revival comes in such gradual ways. Without even realizing when it all began, we find ourselves enjoying the spiritual blessings and joy that revival brings. Sometimes revival comes in response to conflict, or persecution, or maybe tragedy. Our complacency, our apathy, is shattered by ...read more

    Jesus unites yesterday, today, and tomorrow—redeeming our past by faith, securing our future with hope, and filling the present with love.

    OPENING – THE CROOKED FURROW I was fifteen the summer an old farmer in Tennessee handed me the biggest responsibility I’d ever had. “Take the tractor,” he said, “and plow that field.” It was no small patch of ground.

    When Jesus Builds The Church

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 27, 2025
     | 117 views

    What It Takes to Be a Light in a Dark World. Jesus calls His church to reject comfort, silence, and spectacle, and stand strong in His presence, Spirit, and Word.

    Picture Jesus, freshly baptized, water still drying on his shoulders, the voice of the Father ringing in his soul. “You are my beloved Son.” The dove has barely taken flight. That is exactly when the devil comes calling. Nobody gets a free victory lap after baptism. The real fight often starts ...read more

    A Day In His Presence

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 1, 2025
     | 121 views

    Better a single day near God than a thousand apart; the humble heart at His door already walks in eternal joy.

    There are passages in Scripture that seem to sing even when you read them silently. Psalm 84 is one of those sacred songs. It isn’t just poetry — it’s testimony. It’s the song of a traveler whose feet are dusty, whose heart is homesick for God, whose eyes are fixed on the courts of the Lord. > ...read more

    A sermon in a stewardship series.

    2 Corinthians 9:6-15 Cultivating a Generous Heart “God loves a cheerful giver,” writes Paul to the Church in Corinth. What a concept… …that giving will make us happy, put us in a good mood, and is connected to cheerfulness. But it’s the truth. Anyone who’s ever dug down deep enough to give ...read more
