Great Is Thy Faithfulness

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on May 18, 2023

We do not hear many sermons from the Book of Lamentations and I am not really sure why.

But I feel that one of the reasons that I do not preach from the Book of Lamentations any more than I do is because the “Weeping Prophet” Jeremiah wrote it. Most folks enjoy spending their time with people who are laughing and having a good time, and we try to AVOID those who are always MOURNING ...read more

My Hope Is Built On…

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 29, 2022

A preacher told of going through his father's effects after his dad died, and among the things he found was his father's 7th grade report card.

Back in the Fall of 1941 this 7th grade report card showed the grading scale on the back of it. There was A, B, C, D, F, and something he'd never seen before: the letter G! Who would have thought there was a grade you could get that was below F. But back then there was. ''F'' of ...read more

How To Be Steadfast In The Lord-Part 2 Series

Contributed by Kiruba Stephen on May 9, 2022

Complacency is the poison that begins the downfall of those who have been given freely the gift of life.

That fruit will last contrary to the charity work that comes from lives that are philanthropic in nature, they want to do something as good citizens for others but they don’t have the living union with Christ, therefore their works will eventually perish.

A Lesson In Evangelism From Philip And The Ethiopian Eunuch

Contributed by Paul Green on May 19, 2022

When Philip introduces the Ethopian Eunuch to Jesus – he does it God’s way. Philip wasn't an Apostle like Peter, a missionary like Paul, or a pastor like Timothy. He was a deacon, a servant of the church, an ordinary, average man who just couldn’t keep God to himself.

There was a man on a business trip and when he checked in he was given one of the middle seats on the airplane. He was tired and he all he wanted to do was sleep, so he got a little bit irritated when the young girl sat next to him started to ask questions: “Mister, do you brush your teeth?” “Yes,” ...read more

Faithless Piety

Contributed by Terry Hovey on Sep 1, 2023
