Carrying A Load God Does Not Want Us To Carry

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 16, 2022

Some time ago, a newspaper in Tacoma, Washington, carried the story of Tattoo, the basset hound. Tattoo didn't intend to go for an evening run, but when his owner shut his leash in the car door and took off with Tattoo still outside the vehicle, he had no choice.

A motorcycle officer named Terry Filbert noticed a passing vehicle with something that appeared to be dragging behind it. As he passed the vehicle, he saw the object was a basset hound on a leash. "He was picking them up and putting them down as fast as he could," said Filbert. He ...read more

Life Is One Big Test

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 23, 2022

Someone said, “Life is a test”. Life is one big university that is in session 365 days a year.

I do not know about you, but I have never enjoyed taking a test. Now I can remember when I was in college.

Witnessing To Postmodern People

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 29, 2022

This message discusses postmodernism. In today's moral relativism, truth is seen as subjective, and it can supposedly change with circumstances. So, how do we share about Jesus who is "the way, the TRUTH, and the life?"

Our message this evening is entitled, “Witnessing to Postmodern People.” As we seek to understand how to better share our faith in today’s western culture, we must begin with a discussion on modernism and postmodernism. Modernism and postmodernism are eras, or time periods of societal thought and ...read more

Dealing With Problems In Life

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 30, 2022

The war in Iraq is a war that will go down in the history books because the Americans defeated a brutal dictator and his regime, and helped this Islamic nation gain their freedom to form a democracy.

Thousands and thousands of lives have been destroyed in bringing about this democracy. But the price of freedom is always high. Many feel the reasons for invading Iraq and going to war with Saddam Hussein are justified. There are those, however, who accuse the President for going to war for ...read more

The Stairway To Happiness

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 8, 2022

There should be no doubt in anyone’s mind that God loves us and wants to bless us. The Book of Psalms is all about how this wonderful God that loves us wants to bless us.

God does not wait until chapter two before He tells us how we can receive a blessing. He starts off in chapter one, verse one. The word translated, “Blessed,” is from the Hebrew word, “aishair” which simply means: “HAPPINESS.” Many people have different ideas on how to find happiness in this ...read more

Think about the questions that were posed to various people in the bible in the Old and New Testaments. The way the people responded brought about major transformation in their lives and that’s exactly what God can do to those who believe in Him wholeheartedly.

Jesus wanted His disciples to tarry with Him in prayer at a most crucial hour, but they were overcome with sleep. If we can set aside some distractions and discipline ourselves to spend time with God we will experience wonderful transformation in our lives.
