"Peter, Feed My Sheep” (3 Of 21)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 11, 2022

In Acts 9, we read of the exciting conversion of the Apostle Paul as he traveled to Damascus to persecute the New Testament Christians.

After the Lord miraculous converted Paul, the Lord told him to go into the city and he would be told what he was to do. The apostle Peter's conversion was unusual as well. The Lord first met him by the sea of Galilee. Look Matthew 4:18, “And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two ...read more

Jesus Offers The Bread Of Life

Contributed by Edward Frey on Sep 14, 2002

The Gospel -- the good news of salvation in Chrirst -- is nourishment for the soul.

When we go to a restaurant we usually decide first what kind of meat we want and then build our meal around the meat dish. To our western culture meat is the main factor in a meal. In Jesus’ day however, meat was simply a side dish, but bread represented the major part of the meal, everything was ...read more

Break The Hate! Series

Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Mar 9, 2012

Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Aug 16, 2018

A walk through John 6, with reference to the Jewish belief that "I Am" could only be Yahweh... and Jesus claims God's title for himself. The Rabbis also considered the O.T. to be "The Bread of Life", "the Water of Life" and Jesus again claims them.

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 10, 2022

In the first sermon it was mentioned that in order to understand the books of 1, 2, and 3 John, we first needed to understand some things about the place John wrote from, Ephesus.

Because this is essential, I would like to refresh your memory before we get into the heart of this sermon. We dealt with these FOUR things about the Ephesian Christians: (1) THEIR HERITAGE. They were second and third generation Christians. Their parents and grandparents had been in the ...read more

I'm So Alone!

Contributed by Steve Keeler on Jun 7, 2013

1 Kings 19:1-8 Speaks of how even great characters of the Bible sometimes felt as though God had abandoned them. When we feel that nobody loves us we need to remember that we are never forsaken and we are never alone for we have a God that loves us!
