    How To Overcome Life’s Difficulties

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 2, 2022
     | 2,981 views

    Today’s message is to help you see that God has always wanted us to be OVERCOMERS. He wants us to overcome life’s difficulties.

    We all feel we have had our share of DIFFICULTIES, and some of us feel we have had more than our share. Illus: Many times we feel like the man who was married to a beautiful woman, but they had difficulties in their marriage. Nothing seemed to be going right for him. But, one day as he was ...read more

    Are We Fishing For Souls Or Have We Become Keepers Of Aquariums?

     | 2,129 views

    Today’s sermon is about Jesus calling four fishermen to follow him. We can find this story also in Mark 1:16-20.

    Jesus advised Peter and Andrew to leave their fishing business and become “fishers of men.” That means they were to help other people to find God. Jesus was calling them from their useful business to be spiritually useful. How many of us have heard the call and answered? We as a whole need to be ...read more

    Unsurpassed In Distress

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 13, 2024
     | 368 views

    If we are not very careful, we could see today’s readings from God’s Word as panic-inducing warnings causing fear and hatred

    Thirty-Third Sunday in Course 2024 When I see the dread words about “a time unsurpassed in distress since nations began until that time,” there comes to mind from my own family’s history several events that were so advertised before they happened. In fact, we just completed an election cycle that ...read more

    Today, let's look at "the sign."

    Introduction I cannot image anyone on the way to church today turning to their spouse and asking him or her this question. I wonder what the preacher is going to preach about today. And I cannot image a preacher worth his salt having to think a long time about what he is going to prepare for his ...read more

    God's 20/20 Foresight

    Contributed by William Mouser on Feb 28, 2005
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,173 views

    Using the Bible’s foreviews of the careers of John the Baptist and the Prophet Jeremiah, this sermon encourages believers to persevere in the expectation that God has just as clearly foreseen their conformity to the image of Christ.

    Third Sunday in Advent Jeremiah 1:4-19, Luke 1:26-45 “God’s 20/20 Foresight” We have all heard the proverb that says, “Hindsight is always 20-20.” I don’t know of another proverb that says anything similarly pithy and witty about foresight. An obvious reason, I suppose, is that foresight ...read more

    In God’s economy failure is never a defining outcome because God never gives up on anybody – therefore we should always expect the miracle of transformation to take place.

    Message Jonah 3:1-10 Recommissioned By A Merciful God. Do you remember the first time you tried to ride a bike? It’s such a tranquil and joyful occasion isn’t it. But that is only after a lot of other things have happened. Eventually your bike riding efforts look like this. But usually ...read more

    Praying Through A Pandemic

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Feb 2, 2021
     | 6,900 views

    The church ought to pray with great expectation because (1) God sees our trials, (2) God hears our prayers (3) and God will take care of our enemies.

    Acts 12:5 “Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.” The graphic scene of Acts 12 is not strange to the Church. The church has always faced opposition. Since its inception, the devil has been trying to stop the church and even to ...read more

     | 16,476 views

    What would you do different if Jesus was coming over today?

    If Jesus were to come into your house, what do you think the first question he might ask you would be? Are you a believer in me? What is happening in your life? Why didn’t you take the trash out when you were asked? What would he ask? As I look at the Scriptures, I believe the first ...read more

    Spiritual Stedfastness (Sermon On Christian Growth)

     | 2,730 views

    Today I will be preaching from the Book of James about Christian growth.

    We will be dealing with the CHRISTIAN AND HIS STEADFASTNESS. Look at verses 7-8. We read, “Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. Be ...read more

    One week removed from Easter and there are already events taking place which make some question the presence of an Almighty God. Today’s message reminds us not to lose hope!

    HE HAS RISEN! HE HAS RISEN INDEED! Acts 5:17-42 Second Sunday of Easter (see also John 20:19-31) Authored 4/13/04 A puzzled teenager came up to me and asked in tears that reflected anger, “where is God?” The question came on the eve of September 11th, 2001. We ...read more

    Your Eternal Reward - The Judgment Of The Believer

     | 8,908 views

    The person you are today will determine the rewards you will receive tomorrow.

    INTRODUCTION: Although all Christians have been saved by faith, Christ will still judge them for the “deeds [done] in the body…whether good or bad” (II Corinthians 5:10). How well or poorly we do here might indeed determine our status in heaven for all eternity. God is seeking a bride who can sit ...read more

    Unexpected Events (Part 1) Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 7, 2021

     | 5,924 views

    Pivotal events can happen unexpectedly in our lives. If we are able to accept that fact and (at the same time) trust God with the changes that accompany those events, we will manage life better. This message explores unexpected events in Moses's life.

    Today I want to talk about two unexpected events in Moses’s life. One was a glorious encounter with God that set him on the course for the last 40 years of his life. The other was a painful experience that equipped him to fulfill the mission given to him in the first encounter. In both cases the ...read more
