Christ Is No Mirage

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Jan 16, 2022

Jesus is no mirage, and His resurrection proves it. Jesus gives us the living water of life. He is the oasis that replaces the mirages of this world. Therefore, let's quit falling for the fake, and start living the truth of God through Christ Jesus our Lord.

Christ is No Mirage Isaiah 35:7 Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQefljIpico If I could put a subtitle to today’s message, it would be, “The World’s Mirage verses The Reality of Christ.” As this new year began, the Lord pointed me to present a two-part message revealing how the Cities of ...read more

Death Series

Contributed by Troy Borst on Feb 16, 2022

We can follow the thoughts in Ecclesiastes 1-12 and we be fearful of death or unsettled by it and unnaturally hold onto this physical life or we can realize there is a better way… a wiser way… that takes into account fearing God and our relationship with Him.

Armageddaboutit (Revelation 19-21) Series

Contributed by James Jackson on Nov 23, 2025

Revelation 17–19 shows four powerful contrasts—Babylon or the Bride, lament or hallelujah, judgment or celebration, the beast or the Lamb. These chapters remind us that when God wins, the only question is: Which side will you be on when the victory comes?

Good morning. Please open your Bibles to revelation 17. In our culture, Armageddon is shorthand for any cataclysmic, catastrophic, apocalyptic event. In 1998, it was the title of a Bruce Willis movie about a meteor heading toward earth. In July 2011, the city of Los Angeles announced that a ten ...read more

Be Your Own Boss!

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 23, 2022

Most Americans work and much of their life is controlled by someone else. There certainly is nothing wrong with that. This country could not operate unless people were willing to fill the jobs that are needed.

Some jobs require a lot from folks who apply for them. It is essential to find qualified people to fill these jobs. Illus: A few months ago, there was an opening with the CIA for an assassin. Two men and a woman applied for this job. The day came for the final test to see which person would get ...read more

Be Careful What You Pray For

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 30, 2022

We have to remind many people to pray because the devil will see to it that our lives are filled with people and things so we do not have time to even think about praying.

But some of us do not have to be reminded because there are all kinds of emergencies that come up each day that remind us to pray. Illus: A mother and her five year old son were headed to McDonald's. On the way they passed a car accident. Whenever the mother saw something terrible like that, ...read more

Are You Fit To Be Tied? Part I

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 1, 2022

In the 1992 presidential race FAMILY VALUES were mentioned time and time again.

Liberals across the land stated repeatedly that family values would not play any part in choosing their candidate. Such a statement is incomprehensible.

A Great Mother (Mother’s Day)

One of the most difficult sermons a pastor has to preach is a “Mother’s Day” sermon.

No Publicity Stunt: Missing God In Plain Sight Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Oct 16, 2024

How do you explain that when people want to curse, they don’t say, “Muhammed,” but they swear by saying the words “Jesus Christ”? Why do Muslims, Sikhs, Mormons, Unitarians, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and Deists all find a way to incorporate Jesus into their religion?

Have you heard someone say, “I wouldn’t bet the farm on that if I were you?” There are a lot you cannot of people you cannot count on. But there’s one you can bet the farm on, and His name is Jesus. Find John 7 with me, if you will. Jesus finds Himself poked and prodded by the public in every ...read more
