    Funeral Service #2 (This Is A Sermon For A Christian Man Or Woman)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 1, 2022
     | 1,642 views

    There are many advantages of living in a small community. One of the things you will notice immediately is how friendly people are, and how much they care for each other.

    For example, if you drive through the mountains of North Carolina on some of the old dirt roads where neighbors live five and ten miles apart, you will notice that the people in the yard will stop what they are doing when you drive by, smile, and wave at you. That is so different from people who ...read more

    Sermon: How To Support Leadership

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Mar 3, 2022

     | 5,238 views

    Since success comes from partnership, collaboration, and cooperation, why should support be a one-way street? Maybe it’s time to start thinking about how you can support your pastors, your apostles, or your leaders to maximize their success.

    Sermon: How To Support Leadership Text: 1Ch 12:32, 38 And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment. 38 “All these men of war, that could keep ...read more

    Preach The Word -- Which One? 2 Of 2

    Again, let me say, without apology, that I believe this King James Bible that I hold in my hands is the inspired, inerrant Word of God for English-speaking people.

    I do not believe translators are “inspired.” I do believe the “holy men” that God used, who wrote the original text, were inspired to write those precious truths God breathed through them. • It is hard for me to conceive that God would command a man to PREACH THE WORD, when there was no Word He ...read more

    Grace From Galatians (7 0f 19)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 7, 2022
     | 1,371 views

    The false religions of the world have one thing in common. They all desire to put people under bondage. Why do they want to put people under bondage? This is their way of keeping their members under their control.

    For example to understand that, we have to consider a dictator like Saddam Hussein. Why did he use intimidation, torture and death as a means to control the people of Iraq? The people in Iraq were afraid to say anything bad about him for fear that he would have them killed. Illus: Let me give you ...read more

    Feed My Sheep” (7 Of 21)

    A lady placed a raw oyster before a man and told him she would bet him five dollars he could not swallow it and keep it down.

    He said, "I bet you I can!” He tilted his head back and placed the raw oyster on his tongue and let it slide down. He said, “Now give me the five dollars.” This lady was DETERMINED that she was going to get her money back plus more. She said, "I'll bet you ten dollars you cannot keep ...read more

    :We can become sluggish in our bodies and go to the doctor, and after a thorough examination he might conclude that our bodies are lacking in calcium, iron, potassium, or some other particular vitamin.

    In the passage of scripture under consideration, it seems as though Peter has examined us and has discovered we all have a deficiency when it comes to having the proper attitude toward certain things. One's attitude is how one thinks toward a certain thing. Our thinking can be correct or ...read more

    Psalms Of The Sons Of Korah - Psalm 42 Part 1

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 15, 2022
     | 2,395 views

    The Korahites were the singers and composers in the Tabernacle and Temple. Their Psalms are a rich source of spiritual teaching. Psalm 42 is a Psalm of deep personal feelings where the psalmist has lost his joy and was in a rough patch.

    What Do You Preach?

    Folks have different ideas about men and women in the ministry. They are referred to as “People of the Cloth.”

    Illus: The phrase, “People of the Cloth”, reminds me of the pastor of a conservative small-town congregation. He received the gift of a white suit from a friend, but he was a bit reluctant to wear it. Since it was so attractive and a perfect fit, he decided to put it on one warm Sunday. As he was ...read more

    Dealing With The Severe Difficulties Of Life

    Each winter we seem to be plagued with dreadful viruses that make us wonder about two things:

    (1) Americans cannot help but wonder about what the world considers to be the greatest health care, yet it cannot even cure the common cold. Often it seems to us the world’s greatest health care is no more than the world’s greatest racket. We are told that in America we have the best health ...read more

    How are we set free from sin and death? No condemnation. How and where? In Christ.

    3.27.22 Romans 8:1–4 (EHV) 1 So then, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. 2 For in Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. 3 Indeed, what the law was unable to do, because it was weakened by the flesh, God did, when he ...read more

    Managing Money God's Way: Sharing Series

    Contributed by Scott Bayles on Mar 24, 2022
     | 3,699 views

    Money plays a big role in our lives, so it shouldn't surprise us that the Bible has a lot to say about it. In this sermon, we discover that sharing our money should be purposeful, pleasant, and productive.

    Managing Money God’s Way: Sharing Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove Christian Church: 10/9/16 Most of us have probably heard the saying, “Money talks.” Someone once said, “If money talks, all it ever says to me is good-bye!” I heard a story recently though about some talking money.

    The Wedding Invitation Series

     | 4,859 views

    The Lord has sent out a wedding invitation. He won't say, "If unable to attend, we ask your presence in thought and prayer.” If we are unable to attend the marriage of the Lamb, God will say, “If unable to attend, you’re out of luck!”

    This evening’s message is entitled “The Wedding Invitation.” We’re going to learn tonight how the Lord delivers a wedding invitation to each and every person in the world, and that He expects our attendance. A traditional wedding invitation might conclude by saying, “If you are unable to attend, ...read more

    This passage shares the account of a church that is looking at what the church down the road is doing. The pastor (Samuel) tries to lead this church (Israel) according to God’s will, but the congregation won’t heed his counsel.

    As we look at this chapter of 1 Samuel today, there unfolds a scene that can be applied to discussing the goal of churches today. What is the vision of some churches? Do churches think in a Christ-centered manner, or do they think in a worldly manner? What I mean is this: Are churches today ...read more

    There are “Bethlehems” in North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Alabama, Georgia, and even Texas. In fact, I located twenty-eight towns named Bethlehem around the globe and in the United States. They have streets named Manger Avenue and Shepherd Street. But Bethlehem hasn’t always been so prominent.

    Merry Christmas to you all. I look forward to seeing a lot of our church family during tonight’s three Christmas Eve services. Take a Bible and find Micah 5 (page 989 in pew Bible) and Matthew 2.
