    If you want God to answer YOUR prayers, remind God that HIS interests are at stake and ask God to remember His people. His purpose, and His promise.

    There was once a small town which had no liquor stores. Eventually, though, someone built a nightclub right on the main street through town. This so upset the members in one of the churches that they conducted several all-night prayer meetings. They asked the Lord to “burn down that den of ...read more

    The Man Who Was Called Noah

     | 3,427 views

    Imagine that Noah lived in the United States today, and that the Lord spoke to Noah and said: "In one year, I am going to make it rain enough to cover the whole earth with water until all flesh is destroyed. But I want to save you and your family, and I am commanding you to build an ark."

    Then, In a flash of lightning, God delivered the specifications for an ark. In fear and trembling, Noah took the plans and agreed to build the ark. "Remember," said the Lord, "You must complete the ark and bring everything aboard in one year." Exactly one year later, fierce ...read more

     | 3,325 views

    Life is great and wonderful, and very seldom do we hear about anyone who wants to depart from this wonderful life that God has blessed us with.

    Most of us enjoy the blessings of this life so immensely, we want to live as long as possible. Illus: An 80-year-old man went to a doctor for a check-up. After the examination, the doctor told him what he was hoping to hear. He said, "You're in terrific shape. There's nothing wrong ...read more

    Easter: Jesus’ death and resurrection gave us the gift of salvation and eternal life. But what else did it accomplish? It gave us the promise of renewal and transformation in our everyday lives and over our trials and troubles.

    Easter is upon – the day when we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ – and at Easter time we wish to hear why the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus is significant to us. We want to hear of the hope that we no longer have to be condemned to an eternal spiritual death, ...read more

    Look at Prov. 27:5, we read, “Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.”

    Also look at Prov. 27:9-10 “Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel. Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbour that is near ...read more

    King David had a lot of problems and so do we. Many times there are things we can do to correct the problems we encounter. For example:

    (1) SOME HAVE HEALTH PROBLEMS This is a wonderful age in which we live. We hear of some folks who have vision problems. They go to the doctor for some out-patient surgery, and in a few weeks they have 20-20 vision again. Illus: I heard about an elderly retired gentleman that had severe hearing ...read more

    Singing In The Rain…

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 23, 2022
     | 3,360 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

    Children are different in many ways, but almost always they are alike in one way.

    • You tell a child to do something and invariably they will say, “why” ? • You tell a child not to do something and invariably they will say “why”? One of the reasons it annoys us as parents when our children do this, is because sometimes we know they should do something, but we do not always ...read more

    The Danger Of Spiritual Highs

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 25, 2022
     | 2,675 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

    The Ultimate Scapegoat

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 29, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,443 views

    What was the Scapegoat, and can it's function somehow be applied to Jesus? Christ made a one-time sacrifice and atonement to cover all sins. There is no more need for a scapegoat, as the Lamb of God became the final sin offering.

    I want to begin our sermon this morning by asking if you’ve ever before heard the word “scapegoat.” This term was coined by William Tyndale, the first great English Bible translator, who I will discuss a little further later on in our message. After Tyndale, the word came to be used for a person, ...read more

    When we talk about Bible convictions, we are not talking about preferences.

    Illus: David Gibbs, is a lawyer that has fought many battles in the court room on the difference between convictions and preferences. According to the US Supreme Court - • A preference is a very strong belief, held with great strength. A preference is a strong belief, but a belief that you will ...read more

    The Best Life Has To Offer

     | 1,494 views

    Having things in common is often a major part of the initial attraction in selecting a mate for life.

    Don’t let this shock you, but some anthropologists tell us that at an unconscious level we even go so far as to choose partners who look like us. There must be some truth to that, because look at: (Humor…select a couple that everyone knows) Some may doubt the conclusions of the anthropologists, ...read more
