Preaching From Philippians #5

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 28, 2021

This little passage of scripture is loaded with wonderful teachings about the Lord Jesus Christ. Some believe it is one of the greatest passages in the Bible concerning the Lord Jesus Christ.

It gives us a picture of the humility of Christ like we have never seen before. If the church today is ever going to accomplish anything for the Lord, we are going to have to know and possess the humility of Christ. Illus: Some of the New Testament Christians caught this vision.

Preaching From Philippians #11

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 28, 2021

Many consider this passage of scripture to be one of the most important passages in the Bible. Once we get into these verses, it is easy to see why it is ranked so high by so many.

DEFINING DAD For the Mother's day sermon I listed some characteristics that defined Mom. Now it's Dad's turn. I mentioned in my Mother's Day sermon that although these characteristics define Mom, that doesn't mean that Dad doesn't have those characteristics too, they're ...read more

The Model Church

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 4, 2022

We have folks today who actually seem shocked that God’s church has problems.

For example, some are shocked that the members of a church act less than perfect. Listen, I am shocked that they are shocked! Anytime you deal with humans, you have to keep in mind that the only perfect person who walked on this earth was the Lord Jesus, and imperfect people crucified Him! We ...read more

Follow Me 2 Of 2

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 25, 2022

In a previous sermon I preached on the importance of following the right people.

When Jesus was here on earth He stated on one occasion, "...FOLLOW ME, and I will make you fishers of men." It is interesting that the Bible not only records that He told these men to follow Him, but also it records that they were smart enough to obey. Look at Matt. 4:20, it states, ...read more
