    God saw a lowly farmer like Gideon as a mighty warrior. When God looks at each of us, He sees a mighty warrior too. However, that warrior doesn’t appear unless we put our trust in the Lord and rely entirely on Him in faith.

    Our text today will come from the New International Version. In our message we’re going to view a story about an ordinary man who had an intense struggle with trusting God, and this man’s name was Gideon. We will learn how when Gideon finally trusted the Lord, that he understood what it meant to ...read more

    In Christ #6 (1 Of 2 Of Eph. 1:15-23)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 29, 2022
     | 1,646 views

    This will be the first of two messages dealing with verses 15-23. Paul had the same desire of any good pastor WHO KNOWS THE LORD. That is, HE KNEW THE LORD INTIMATELY and he wanted this congregation to also know the Lord INTIMATELY.

    Have you noticed that one of the hardest things in this life to do is keep good news a secret? Illus: Benjamin said, “Three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead.” Illus: Walter Winchell said, “I usually get my stuff from people who promised somebody else that they would keep it ...read more

    We have looked at our REDEMPTION, and praise the Lord for this. In this message we will look at our REVELATION. (And, in the following message we will look at our REWARDS.)

    In verse 3 we are told that God wants to bless us. Then Paul gives us a grocery list of things in the next few verses that God has blessed us with. Illus: One of the biggest days of the church year should be Thanksgiving Day. Why? It is obvious. Because we all have so much to be thankful ...read more

    In this sermon we will look at our REDEMPTION. (In the next two messages we will look at our REVELATION, and our REWARDS.)

    It is my prayer that by this time you are closer to the Lord. Illus: We do not have to be like the man who had been hired to paint lines on the highway. As the story goes, this man’s job consisted of painting the white lines in the highway. -The first day he painted three miles of lines. -The ...read more

    Have you ever heard anyone say a person, “LACKS MOTIVATION!”

    Illus: On a national television program they had a power lifting competition. These BIG FELLOWS would walk up to a bar of weights that would take six or seven men in this congregation to pick up. One after the other they would walk up to the bar and powder their hands and would work at getting ...read more

    The Legacy Of King Solomon And King Abijah

     | 2,578 views

    Today we want to talk about King Abijah. Actually King Abijah has several names. He was also called Abia and Abijam.

    I also want to talk about King Solomon, and I want to show you how their lives are tied together. All these names seem a little strange. Speaking of names reminds me about a pregnant woman. Illus: A pregnant woman from Washington, DC got into a car accident and falls into a deep coma. Asleep for ...read more

    He That Winneth Souls Is Wise No. 7

     | 1,136 views

    We want to look again at the importance of following good examples.

    We understand the importance, as Christians, of not following the many bad examples that many lost people display in their lives, but NEW CONVERTS do not hear much, or see much, about following the good examples the Bible tells about and the stories of great Christians through the years have set ...read more

    An article in The Reader's Digest stated that a man who had throat cancer was cured by his doctor's treating him with strong doses of vitamin C.

    This was interesting because the man only received help when he received the strong dosages. In these sermons on soul winning we hope you are getting a "strong dosage" effect. It is the prayer of this pastor that by giving these "strong dosages" week after week that many of ...read more

     | 1,046 views

    As we look at the life of the apostle Paul in this passage of scripture, we see that he is in jail.

    Illus: A man that was in prison was asked, “What is the worst thing about prison?” He said, “The worst thing about prison is that you are here and everybody that you love and care for are out there!” Paul knew exactly what this man was talking about.

    A man was watching a wood carver carve a six foot bear out of a large chunk of wood. The man was fascinated as he watched him and he finally asked him, “HOW DO YOU DO THAT?”

    The wood carver said, “It really isn’t as hard as it looks. What I do is get a huge piece of wood, and I carve out everything that does not look like a bear!” This is what God is trying to do with our lives. He wants to cut everything that does not look like Christ out of our lives. Peter shows ...read more

    When things are going right for MOST of us, folks ask us how we are and we give them a big smile and say that things are GREAT!

    Our differences are revealed, not during our GOOD TIMES, but during the BAD TIMES in our lives! One thing we all seem to do during the DIFFICULT TIMES in life is to turn to our friends for sound advice. Most of the time when we do this what we get is not good sound advice, but a lot of RHYMES ...read more

    Many people have expectations of what God can do for them. But that's not how it works. We were saved to do things for Him. Why?

    I’ve been told that when people come to God –– they have certain expectations. They have certain opinions of what they think God should DO for them. They visualize a God who is going to do what they want done. ILLUS: A woman named Donna had a conversation with her 4 year old niece. The little ...read more

    Today we want to look again at the scriptures to see what is required of us if we are to be good stewards.

    Our text says, “Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.” EVERYONE here today is a steward. That is, everyone here has been entrusted by God with certain things. We have... • Been entrusted with the gospel. • Been entrusted with talents. (Some more than others.) • Been ...read more
