    This sermon is short but simple. Its main focus is to let people know that they should seek God first in everything.

    In order to keep things real with God, you must first be real with your self by knowing that with God, all things are possible but without him you can have nothing. People often say that God does not supply their needs when what they really mean is that he does not give them everything they want. ...read more

    The First Christmas Gift

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 18, 2022
     | 3,095 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

    God promises a special blessing for all children who honor their fathers and mothers.

    To learn of the first ’duty’ that a godly child or young person is to perform, we want to go back in time to the occasion when Moses brought the children of Israel out of Egypt to a mountain called Sinai. Exodus 19:17-18, 20, "And Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet God, and they ...read more

     | 8,524 views

    When the first thing you do is seek Him and His Kingdom and His righteousness, then you realize that God really can be trusted. And your worries, especially about temporal things like money and stuff just start to disappear.

    How many of you enjoy wasting time? I don't mean doing things that are just not constructive like watching TV or reading a comic book. I mean how many of you like to just sit and do absolutely nothing, especially when there are things that need to be done? Very few people would say they enjoy doing ...read more

    "It's a scary world out there." True. So how do you deal with it? Worry? Or God's Word?

    SEEK GOD FIRST (Matthew 6:31-33) 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and ...read more

    Let God be First Instead of Pushing Him Out of the Picture is a pretty bold statement. It implies that people are actually doing that, pushing God out of their lives.
