God Who Satisfies Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Mar 5, 2022

For our meditation I wish to focus on the word ‘satisfy’. If we look around us, there are many discontented people who are not satisfied with what they have.

Psalm 91:16, says, “You will be satisfied with a full life and with all that I do for you. For you will enjoy the fullness of my salvation!” (TPT) In continuation with our study on Psalm 91, let us turn our attention to verse 16. This is the Lord’s promise to the one who makes the Lord his refuge, ...read more

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 9, 2022

God has given us the Bible for a number of reasons, such as... God has given us the Bible for a number of reasons

But, one of the PRIMARY REASONS He gave us the Bible is so that we might come to know what kind of God He is. He knows if we do not come to know Him in all His greatness... -We cannot worship Him. -We will not serve Him. -We cannot become like him. So, a great deal of the Bible tells us that He ...read more

Provoking Thoughts From 1 John (13 Of 16)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 10, 2022

We have all heard the proverbial expression The proof is in the pudding." For example, someone might say, "This is real good chocolate pudding."

For example, someone might say, And so someone might say, "I really love God!" But, these are only words. They might be true or they might not be. Just saying something does not make it so!

Provoking Thoughts From 1 John (15 Of 16)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 10, 2022

One of the difficulties the Lord Jesus had in dealing with mankind was getting people to accept Him for Who He was.

He could have solved that problem by making us all robots. All He would have to do then is push a button and make us believe on Him as our Savior. Illus: That would be a bit like a young man pulling a gun on a beautiful young lady, pointing it in her face, and saying, “Tell me that you love ...read more

"Peter, Feed My Sheep” (3 Of 21)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 11, 2022

In Acts 9, we read of the exciting conversion of the Apostle Paul as he traveled to Damascus to persecute the New Testament Christians.

After the Lord miraculous converted Paul, the Lord told him to go into the city and he would be told what he was to do. The apostle Peter's conversion was unusual as well. The Lord first met him by the sea of Galilee. Look Matthew 4:18, “And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two ...read more

Many times it is best to show the GOOD before we show the BAD. At other times, it is best to show the BAD before we show the GOOD.

Illus: This is exactly what a young lady in college did when she was having problems with her grades and finances. She dreaded having to inform her parents of her situation, so she composed this letter: “Dear Mom and Dad, I just thought I’d drop you a note to let you know of my plans. I've ...read more

"Peter, Feed My Sheep” (12 Of 21)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 11, 2022

We often hear Christians say that they believe the Lord Jesus is coming soon to gather His church.

When some Christians say that, it makes you wonder why they say that. I say this because their life-styles do not reflect that they believe He is going to come very soon. Many live their lives as we did as children. Illus: If our parents had to go somewhere, before they left they gave us chores ...read more

Worship As Sacrifice

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 13, 2022

The word "worship" means ascribing worth to God. In America, worship doesn’t cost us much; and so, we have basically forgotten God's real worth. But, according to the Scripture, worship involves sacrifice, which is very costly.

Tonight we are going to come to a better understanding of what it means to worship the Lord. To begin, we must understand what the word “worship” means. The word worship is derived from an Anglo-Saxon word, which is actually a combination of the two words “worth” and “ship.” The term “ship” ...read more

Acts Of The Apostles # 30 Of 39

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022

Paul had been having great success, especially in Ephesus.

He was now making every effort to go back to Jerusalem. He had been seeing Gentiles saved by the scores, and no doubt he began to think of his own Jewish people, who were lost without Christ, and wanted to go back and share the gospel with them. Illus: One of the frustrations that we Christians ...read more

Repent Or Perish

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 18, 2022

What is Jesus’s teaching about “repent or perish” telling us? Is it not the same as saying choose life or choose death? Today we will talk about tragedy and repentance.

REPENT OR PERISH Text: Luke 13:1-9 Luke 13:1- 9 At that time, some people who were there told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.  (2)  He asked them, "Do you think that these Galileans were more sinful than all the other Galileans because ...read more
