    Filling The Longing Heart

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Apr 2, 2022
     | 2,338 views

    People carry deep longings in their hearts. Only Jesus can fill those longings. We must tell longing people about Jesus.

    Here is this woman. She shows up at the village well at the sixth hour. That’s noon, the hottest part of the day. The other women came that morning, when it was cooler. But she couldn’t come then. She didn’t want to see them. Really, she didn’t want them to see her. It would be too painful. Why? ...read more

    The Change Jesus Makes

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Apr 2, 2022
     | 1,833 views

    Jesus is in the business of change.

    Jesus is in the business of change. No one ever left an encounter with Jesus unchanged. They either loved Him more or loved Him less—and perhaps even hated Him—but they were never indifferent to Him. And the same is true for you and me. We cannot be indifferent to Him either. So, it is my prayer ...read more

     | 1,244 views

    In the previous sermon we talked about Elijah, who was Elisha’s predecessor.

    We learned that Elisha followed Elijah everywhere he went. Elisha followed Elijah from Gilgal to Beth-el, to Jericho, to Jordan. Elijah asked Elisha to “Tarry here...” three times, but every time Elisha would say, “...As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee...” Elijah, ...read more

    The Manner In Which We Are To Pray

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 4, 2022
     | 1,279 views

    Many times we will select a small passage of scripture from the Bible for our devotional reading each day.

    However, just picking a verse or two can be very dangerous. That is, we may not receive all the blessings from the scripture we may select. We must read more to discover the context of the passage. For example, one passage that is often taken out of context is what is commonly called the Lord’s ...read more

     | 1,700 views

    I want to talk to you again about THE CHURCH REACHING THE LOST.

    There are a lot of misunderstandings about God’s church, but one of the biggest misunderstandings is about the purpose of the church. There is a reason that churches all over this nation, week after week, month after month, and year after year never win any souls to Christ. WHAT IS THE REASON? ...read more

    Sixth Commandment (6 Of 12)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022
     | 1,226 views

    This is the shortest of all of the commandments and so simple that even a small child could understand it. However, in our society today this simple commandment is misunderstood by some.

    For example, some carry this so far as to apply "Thou shalt not kill” to the killing of insects. Illus: Let me ask you something, if I see a fly on the table and I walk into the other room, get the fly swat, and carefully walk back to where the fly is, raise the fly swat in such a way as ...read more

    Third Commandment (3 Of 12)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022
     | 2,032 views

    The Jews of old usually gave their children names that had meaning. Today we give our children names and have no idea what they mean, we go more by how they sound. Some do not even go by sound.

    Illus: In Connecticut four ministers were named Wright none of them were related. To avoid confusion: • One was referred to as: “Minister Upright". • Another was referred to as, “Minister Downright”. • And another was referred to as, “Minister Outright.” • And the fourth was referred to as, ...read more

    The Life Of The Kingdom Begins Now

    We are often guilty of limiting the Kingdom of God as being some future reality. But there is an aspect of the kingdom in the present. What foes this tell us.

    The Kingdom of God Begins Now Romans 13:8-14 In times of distress, we often dream of heaven. We cry out “Maranatha” (O Lord Come).
