    Faith Cometh By…

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 24, 2022
     | 1,760 views

    Look especially at verse 6, we read, “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”

    Also, let us look at Romans 10:13-17 All churches that are Bible preaching churches, preach regularly on the doctrines of the Bible. Many of the doctrines of the Bible are both SIMPLE and COMPLEX. Faith is one of those doctrines. For example: • It is so simple a child can understand it • It is ...read more

    What Paul’s Conversion Teaches Us!

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 25, 2022
     | 3,450 views

    God had a purpose in recording the conversion of the apostle Paul.

    As we look at the apostle’s Paul’s conversion, we can see clearly he was truly converted. That cannot be said of everyone who professes to be saved! WHY DO WE WONDER ABOUT PEOPLE’S SALVATION? Illus: What would you think of one of our soldiers in Iraq if they were always fraternizing with the ...read more

    Give Us A King

    This passage shares the account of a church that is looking at what the church down the road is doing. The pastor (Samuel) tries to lead this church (Israel) according to God’s will, but the congregation won’t heed his counsel.

    As we look at this chapter of 1 Samuel today, there unfolds a scene that can be applied to discussing the goal of churches today. What is the vision of some churches? Do churches think in a Christ-centered manner, or do they think in a worldly manner? What I mean is this: Are churches today ...read more

    There are days in our life that stand out above others and we will never forget those days as long as we live.

    • We can remember the day we got married In all fairness, some of us men do forget our anniversary, which is not a good thing to do! Illus: One woman who knew her husband who could not remember what day they got married and as a result often forgot their anniversary, decided she would play a ...read more

    Biblical Fellowship (A Communion Sermon)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 30, 2022
     | 1,631 views

    Someone said, “Fellowship is like fellows in a ship!” Then they said, “The only thing wrong with fellowship is that there are not enough fellows in the ship.”

    As we read through the New Testament, we can see that FELLOWSHIP is essential to God’s church. For a church to be a strong church, FELLOWSHIP IS ESSENTIAL. Let me give you an example how important it is. Illus: Romanian orphans have a medical condition that many of them suffer from. In ...read more

    Responsibilities In The Church

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 30, 2022
     | 2,327 views

    Today I want to talk about the two most important responsibilities in the church.

    Illus: An unknown person wrote a letter to the editor of the newspaper and complained that it made no sense to go to church every Sunday. The complainer said, "I've gone for 30 years now," he wrote, "and in that time I have heard something like 3,000 sermons. But for the life of ...read more

    Fruit Of The Spirit # 9

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 1, 2022
     | 2,072 views

    In this sermon, I want to complete the preaching on the Fruit of the Spirit.

    The last fruit that we are going to deal with is the fruit of Temperance. When I think of the fruit of Temperance, I think of a thermostat. Illus: You know what a thermostat does! It keeps the temperature in our homes under control. This is what the fruit of Temperance does in our life. It keeps ...read more

     | 999 views

    The Lord desires that His people take Him seriously, but that they not take themselves too seriously.

    He wants them to wipe off their grim looks, put smiles on their faces, and let laughter flow from their lips. As we learned in the previous sermon: • The world can give us happiness because happiness comes from WITHOUT. • Only God can give us JOY because joy comes from WITHIN. When the lost world ...read more

    What Is Going On In The Church? The Second Coming Of Jesus!

    Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Apr 1, 2022
     | 2,195 views

    Let us reason together and search the scriptures about the signs of the second coming of Jesus Christ that are occuring in the church. Will we evaluate our attitudes? Are we passively compromising our worship?

    No Man Careth…

     | 1,203 views

    One thing that make many of our lives miserable at time is the LACK OF COMPASSION of those that surround our lives.

    ? Children have no compassion for their parents ? Employer have no compassion for their employees. ? Neighbors have no compassion for their neighbor. The parable of THE LOST SHEEP reveals the COMPASSION OF CHRIST more than any other of Jesus’ parables. It is comforting to know that our Lord ...read more

    Contributed by J Jeffrey Smead on Apr 4, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 7,670 views

    "Holding on to our Past" is something that can inhibit not only our relationships, our outlook on life, but also our sense of identity and spiritual growth in Jesus.

    If you are not familiar with an Anglican Service there are 4 readings prior to the Sermon. The assigned readings for this day were: Isaiah 43:16-21; Psalm 126; Philippians 3:7-16 and Luke 20:9-19. I will be Drawing from our New Testament reading in Philippians this morning.

     | 2,047 views

    We all have different ideas about what would be the ideal life, and we all strive to acquire it. We will never have the ideal life until we get to heaven.

    Some say that heaven will not be heaven for some people. Illus: That reminds me of the story one of the fellows in church told me. He told me that Bill, Ron, and Jack all died and went to heaven. When they got there, they discovered the most beautiful golf course they had ever seen. St. Peter ...read more

     | 2,051 views

    Today I want to preach on something that some seem to think is not that important….BUT IT IS! It affects our life everyday.

    I want to preach to you about compassion. We miss compassion when we do not have it and we admire it when we see it. Illus: A pastor wrote, "I was in Time’s Square, in New York, during rush hour. Thousands of people were thronging and pushing at the corner, ready to cross at the ...read more
