    God Is A God Of Wrath Attributes Of God (10 Od 10 Sermons)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 9, 2022
     | 1,288 views

    As we continue to learn what kind of God the God of the Bible is we will preach about one last attribute.

    So far, we have preached about God's being holy, immutable, love, jealous, orderly, omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent. The Bible reveals all these attributes to us because God wants us to come to know Him. He knows we cannot WORSHIP and SERVE Him if we do not KNOW Him. Now, if I was a ...read more

    "Peter, Feed My Sheep” (11 Of 21)

    :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

    Get Onboard (February 6, 2022)

    In this story, we see excuses, and an invitation that brought forth an alt[a]ration.

    GET ONBOARD Text: Luke 5:1-11 Luke 5:1-11  Once while Jesus was standing beside the lake of Gennesaret, and the crowd was pressing in on him to hear the word of God,  (2)  he saw two boats there at the shore of the lake; the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their ...read more

    1 Timothy 2:8-15 teaches us about the behavior of men and women in public worship.

    Scripture In 1 Timothy 2, Paul wrote on the subject of public worship. In verses 1-7, which we studied last week, Paul emphasized the need for a global concern in public worship. Today we are going to study verses 8-15, and see how Paul addressed the respective roles of men and women in public ...read more

    The Body Of Christ

     | 6,061 views

    If we desire to impact our community for Jesus Christ, then we need to be unified. Using the illustration of the church as a human body, Paul shared how a church that is divided will fail to function properly; or perhaps, even fail to survive.

    “A father asked his young son to break a bundle of sticks. He returned a little later to find the boy frustrated in the task. He had raised the bundle high and smashed it on his knee, but he only bruised his knee. He had set the bundle against a wall and stomped real hard with his foot, but the ...read more

    Acts Of The Apostles 34 Of 39

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022
     | 1,534 views

    In previous studies, we find all that had been prophesied about the apostle Paul had come to pass. He was taken by a mob that almost killed him, but was rescued by the chief captain who took him away from that crowd.

    He was brought before a council that did not care a thing about justice. When he observed that the council was composed of both Pharisees and Sadducees, he divided the group by stating he was a Pharisee, and a firm believer in miracles and the resurrection. Since the Sadducees did not believe ...read more

    When Paul and Silas left Thessalonica, they left it in a turmoil.

    The Jews that did not believe, showed their jealousy by attacking the household of Jason, who had lodged Paul and Silas, since they could not take their revenge out on them personally. Verse 10, says, "And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming ...read more

    Does God Ever Withdraw His Favor?

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Mar 15, 2022
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,647 views

    There is a belief in the church that when a Born-Again Christian sins or walks in disobedience, God withdraws His favor and blessings to punish them.

    This belief is rooted in the Old Testament, where a relationship with God was conditionally based upon behavior. The Hebrew words translated as ‘favor’ are ‘ratson’ and ‘ratsah.’ The word ‘ratson’ is translated as favor, goodwill, acceptance, desire, pleasure. It most often represents God ...read more

    Israel had some serious problems, and the Lord wanted to take them to the Potter’s house to teach them a lesson.

    Hoarder Or Steward? Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 26, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,826 views

    This parable illustrates the deceitfulness of guarded wealth. It is a stewardship parable, in the fact that it addresses the issue of our use of resources, both monetary and spiritual. The lesson we will learn is “use it, or lose it.”

    This morning’s message is entitled “Hoarder or Steward?” O. S. Hawkins, who is with GuideStone Financial Resources of the Southern Baptist Convention, asks, “At the end of your life will you be considered a hoarder or a steward?”(1) We’re going to look at a parable this morning; one which is ...read more

    ? Ethnicity ? Economics ? Intelligence ? Spirituality ? Personal appearances ? Talents and skills ? Personalities Another thing that distinguishes us from each other is how we handle problems.

    Witnessing To Postmodern People

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 29, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,276 views

    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

    Deliberate Church Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021
     | 1,910 views

    One law professor said that without lying and bragging, half the pickup lines in bars across the country wouldn’t exist. Churches are deliberately places where bragging is non-existent (about ourselves) and where grace is paramount.

    Today is Super Bowl Sunday. CBS is hoping for more than 100 million people watch the game today. The Super Bowl represents the best two teams and the best 106 players competing for bragging rights. There is little humility on the field today. They’ll talk about thankfulness and offer moderate words ...read more

    Christians should be obsessed with evangelism. It should be a constant thought throughout our day. The interest in winning others should consume you.

    Yesterday marked the anniversary of the infamous Roe vs. Wade decision that opened the floodgates for abortion in America. It was on January 22, 1973 that the US Supreme Court handed down its decision that women had the constitutional right to an abortion. Nearly four decades later, the argument ...read more

    Inside the believer’s mind, there is something very close to assurance yet is as dangerous as the “running with the bulls” in Spain. It is presumption. Presumption is an idea taken to be true though it is not known of certain.
