For years we've believed that stress is a bad thing - it damages our health. But stress can have a good side. Illus: For example, for a violinist to make music, the strings ...read more

    The First Christmas Gift

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 18, 2022
     | 3,112 views

    Christmas is a time of giving, and it means that many of us need to think about what kind of gifts we plan to give to those we love.

    Why? We know that while a gift can bring joy to some, it can also bring sadness to others. For example, men have come to realize there are some things you do not buy for your wife on her birthday or at Christmas. Men who have been married for a long period of time have learned some things. • ...read more

     | 2,007 views

    On some of the talk shows, like “Hannity and Colmes” on the Fox News Channel, we hear folks debating things and now and then they come to a topic that they both agree on.

    To make the debate more exciting, one of them will say, "Let me play the devil’s advocate and ask you this question.” Then they will state the opposing view, to add some life to the debate. As believers, we all agree on many things when it comes to God, the Bible, and the church. Let me ...read more

    The Children of Israel had been told by the LORD to go up and possess the land that God had promised to Abraham and his descendants. DID THEY DO IT? We need to look at three things, Let’s look at-

    I. THE REPORTS Before going in and actually possessing the land, God told the Children of Israel to send in 12 spies to search out the land. Once they spied out the land, they were to come back and give a report on what they had found. Look at Numbers 13:1-2 “And the LORD spake unto Moses, ...read more

     | 3,384 views

    Introduction: I want to preach a sermon called, “Singing in the Rain.” The words “Singing In The Rain…” come from a famous song sung by Donald O’ Conner. The idea of course is that we often plan things in life and then the rain comes and spoils those plans.

    Illus: Possibly: • We are going to watch a parade, but the rain comes and spoils our parade • We are going on a picnic in the park with our family, but once we spread the lunch, the rain begins and ruins our picnic If we are going to be successful in this life spiritually, THE RAIN WILL CERTAINLY ...read more

     | 2,692 views

    The life of Elijah teaches us many valuable lessons. One of the lessons it teaches us is that some of our most trying times come after a SPIRITUAL HIGH in our life.

    For example, Elijah had just had two of his greatest victories: • All alone, he has just confronted a cult, and had 450 of their prophets on Mount Carmel killed. • God had just used him through prayer, to bring rain after three years of drought. He was on a SPIRITUAL HIGH, he was on a roll, and ...read more
