    The Thessalonians 1 Of 12 (1 Of 2)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 6, 2022
     | 1,614 views

    In his book, “Harvest of Humanity,” John Seamands tells the story of a German soldier that was wounded in training.

    He reported the injury to his officer and he was commanded to go to the local military hospital. When he arrived at the hospital he parked his car and entered the magnificent building. Immediately he saw two doors clearly marked. • The sign on one said, “For the slightly wounded,” and the other ...read more

    1) A Thankful Spirit (Romans 1:8), 2) A Concerned Spirit (Romans 1:9–10a), and finally 3) A Willing and Submissive Spirit (Romans 1:10b).

    Romans 1:8–10. 8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is proclaimed in all the world. 9 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I mention you 10 always in my prayers, asking that somehow by God’s will ...read more

    Minister On Purpose Series

    Contributed by Boomer Phillips on May 5, 2021
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,119 views

    This message looks at ministry or service. “Every believer isn’t a pastor, but every believer is called into ministry. God calls all believers to minister to the world and the church. Service in the body isn’t optional for Christians” - Rick Warren

    This morning we’ll be viewing the purpose of “ministry” or “service.” In The Purpose Driven Life, Rick Warren says, “Growing up, you may have thought that being ‘called’ by God was something only missionaries, pastors, nuns, and other ‘full-time’ church workers experienced, but the Bible says ...read more

    Sharing Ministry Together

    Contributed by Boomer Phillips on May 13, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,935 views

    When the volunteer workload is placed on the shoulders of just a handful of people, then these individuals get burnt out; and since they can’t do everything, then a lot of needs go unmet. Ministry is something to be shared among all believers.

    I wish to begin our message by sharing a personal account contributed by a pastor who was serving at a church in Washington State during the wake of the Mount St. Hellens eruption. This pastor said, After Mount St. Helens blew up in May 1980, [the] church needed cleaning up. Ash was in the ...read more

    How to love.

    “It’s that Simple. It’s that Complicated” John 13:1-5, 12-15, 34-35 Have you ever taken a moment to think about how totally profound this encounter is between Jesus and His disciples on the night that Jesus was betrayed? I’m not referring to the fact that Jesus washed His disciples’ dirty ...read more

    Layers Of An Onion

    I was originally drawn to this passage because of this conversation between Jesus and Peter. I wanted to understand the deeper meaning of what was being said here. I have learned that and much more. I found four layers to the onion.

    Have any of you tried a fried blooming onion? They taste great. If you haven’t had one - they cut open a sweet Vidalia onion and dip it in batter and deep fry it and all the layers spread out. You are probably wondering why I am talking about onions and making everyone hungry; it is because onions ...read more

    This passage is the beginning of a "handbook" for the Christian disciple.

    7 Ones – Ephesians 4: 1 - 16 Intro: I found the following poem while researching this sermon. “One night, I had a wondrous dream; one set of footprints there was seen, the footprints of my precious Lord, but mine were not along the shore. But then some stranger prints appeared, and I asked the ...read more

    The Second Most Important Decision Of Your Life Series

     | 3,998 views

    The first most important decision of your life is accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Find out in this sermon, what is the second most important decision of your life.

    Introduction We make decisions every day of our life. According to Cornell University, we make 35,000 remotely conscious decisions each day. And if a person lives to age 75 that means, in our lifespan, we will make 945 billion decisions. But let’s be honest, some decisions are more important than ...read more

    Be Ready To Receive Help Series

    Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Oct 30, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,130 views

    Jesus received people according to how they were convicted to serve Him. However, we as human beings often miss the bigger picture, and forfeit opportunities to assist people in being used by God to further the kingdom.

    I want to begin by sharing something from the apostle Paul. Paul, in speaking about what a person should give to the church in the way of monetary offerings; he once stated, “For if there is first a willing mind, it is accepted according to what one has, and not according to what he does not have” ...read more

    Be Willing To Be Available Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,817 views

    The disciples were tired and worn out from ministry; however, Jesus challenged them to put aside their own needs to love and serve others. As a result, the disciples were refreshed and strengthened in an unexpected manner.

    The apostle Paul once informed the believers of Galatia, “For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself’” ...read more

    Be A Servant To All People Series

    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,077 views

    Believers often get caught up in self-service instead of true service, being focused on seats of power. Jesus demonstrated a powerful act of servanthood that would stand as a reminder concerning genuine kingdom service.

    There once arose a dispute among the disciples, as to which of them should be considered the greatest (Luke 22:24). Jesus told them, “He who is greatest among you, let him be as the younger, and he who governs as he who serves. For who is greater, he who sits at the table, or he who serves? Is ...read more

    One Day At A Time

    Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Feb 8, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,001 views

    We often feel that we can’t be happy until we are in the “perfect place,” or God’s “perfect will.” If we wait around for the perfect moment, then we could miss those truly perfect opportunities. The perfect moment to serve is right now.

    I have entitled our message for this morning “One Day at a Time.” What I am going to share has to do with understanding God’s will for our life, and this is a subject matter that concerns each of us as believers. Henry Blackaby, in his book Experiencing God, says that all you have to do find ...read more

    Motive For Involvement

    Contributed by Grant Adams on Feb 8, 2022
     | 1,830 views

    Why do we serve the Lord? Motive is more important than any thing else.

    1. It is the 11th hour 2. There are Christians standing idle. Many asleep in the harvest. 1 Corinthians 15:34 3. This is a personal invitation. a. Go work. Matthew 21:28-31 b. Many parables of God’s work being the vineyard, the field, the harvest. 4. It is a fact each of us has a job to do in ...read more

    The Family Business

    Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Feb 21, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 5,997 views

    We don’t know very much about Jesus’ process of maturation. The Gospels are rather silent about his growing up years, with Matthew being the only other canonical gospel that even offers a birth narrative, and he is silent on the years between birth and baptism.

    TITLE: THE FAMILY BUSINESS SCRIPTURE: ST. LUKE 2:49 It was just two months ago we gathered here in the sanctuary as we celebrated the birth of our Lord and Savior. We had special programs like Candlelight Service, attended Christmas Sing Along over at Macedonia Baptist Church, and of course ...read more

    Funeral Service #2 (This Is A Sermon For A Christian Man Or Woman)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 1, 2022
     | 1,247 views

    There are many advantages of living in a small community. One of the things you will notice immediately is how friendly people are, and how much they care for each other.

    For example, if you drive through the mountains of North Carolina on some of the old dirt roads where neighbors live five and ten miles apart, you will notice that the people in the yard will stop what they are doing when you drive by, smile, and wave at you. That is so different from people who ...read more
