What Does Jesus Say About Death? Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 3, 2021

Jesus speaks of Himself here. Jesus’ death is the grain of wheat that had to die. Jesus is the grain of wheat that had to be multiplied. Jesus’ death generates a huge harvest. The path to glory is HIS death; again, the roadway to Jesus’ glory is His death.

Esther, Ezra And Nehemiah Series

Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on Jun 9, 2021

God chooses to use Ordinary people to accomplish Extra Ordinary tasks.

May 15, 2021 Today we are discussing 3 more books of the Bible - Esther, Ezra and Nehemiah. My Favorite Thing About each book is the revelation that God chooses to use ordinary people to accomplish extra ordinary things and they, in turn, choose to cooperate: Zerubbabel and Joshua were just ...read more

Help, Lord!

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 19, 2022

The Bible is filled with many different kinds of experts.

For example, if you want to know something about: • LAW AND GRACE, the apostle Paul would be the one you would want to talk to. • SUFFERING AND AFFLICTION, Job would be the one you would want to talk to. • ESCHATOLOGY, you would want to consult John, the revelator. • But, if you wanted to know ...read more

A Foundational Confidence

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Feb 23, 2022

We have been talking about what we can be sure of. When we are sure of something we can have confidence in that. This message is about having the confidence to do what god asks us to do.

For the past 6 weeks we have been talking about what we can be sure of. When we are sure of something we can have confidence in that. It feels so good to be sure of our relationship with God, our salvation in Him, the truth of His word, the assurance of His forgiveness, the victory that we have ...read more

The Danger Of Discouragement #1 Of 2

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 23, 2022

Something that we all have in common is that we all have to fight the battle of discouragement.

Most of us will admit that we have lost that battle at times. However, some are more easily discouraged than others. 1. Some get discouraged with their jobs and quit them, only to later regret it. 2. Some get discouraged with their churches and quit them, only to later regret it. 3. Some get ...read more

"how Long O Lord?"

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 25, 2022

Watching television can be entertaining, but at the same time it can be very disconcerting to see what they do on a television program.

Illus: For example, they will have John Wayne on his horse, ride into a town that is filled with all kinds of major problems, and in a couple of hours he will clean that town up and make it a safe and decent place to live. The reason it is upsetting to watch such movies is because we find ...read more

All It Takes Is One

Contributed by Joel Pankow on Mar 2, 2022

David stands up to Goliath and changes the whole course of the war. Jesus stands up to Satan as our substitute. All it takes is One.

3.5.22 1 Samuel 17:4–49 (EHV) The Philistine would say, “I defy the ranks of Israel today! Give me a man, and we will fight each other!” 11 When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they lost their courage and were terrified. 32 David said to Saul, “Do not let anyone lose ...read more

Grace From Galatians (10 Of 19)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 7, 2022

We are looking at the five different appeals that Paul used in dealing with these Galatians.

In the first appeal, he dealt with them about three things: • He appealed to their PAST • He appealed to their PRESENT • He appealed to their PREDICAMENT In this second appeal, he appeals to their love for him and how he should be treated by them. • Being a Minister of the Gospel is considered by ...read more

Provoking Thoughts From 1 John (2 Of 16)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 10, 2022

In the first sermon it was mentioned that in order to understand the books of 1, 2, and 3 John, we first needed to understand some things about the place John wrote from, Ephesus.

Because this is essential, I would like to refresh your memory before we get into the heart of this sermon. We dealt with these FOUR things about the Ephesian Christians: (1) THEIR HERITAGE. They were second and third generation Christians. Their parents and grandparents had been in the ...read more

Love Without Limits (January 30, 2022)

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 11, 2022

Now if love is supposed to be the greatest, and it is, then why did Jesus’s preaching about love in Luke 4:21 -30 provoke those in the congregation so badly? It provoked them so badly, that they wanted to throw Him off a cliff!

LOVE WITHOUT LIMITS Text: I Corinthians 13:1- 13 1 Corinthians 13:1-13  If I speak in the tongues of mortals and of angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.  (2)  And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I ...read more

Acts Of The Apostles (14 Of 39)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022

Many in America today, seem to be confused as to why, when we incarcerate law breakers, and send them through a rehabilitation program, they go back to doing the same crimes again, after they are released.

Well, the problem is that we are trying to fix the wrong thing. Illus: If you had trouble with the carburetor on your car, and you took it to be fixed, and the mechanic worked on the transmission, you would find, when you drove the car from the garage, that you still had the same trouble as ...read more

Acts Of The Apostles (7 Of 39)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022

Luke wrote to Theophilus, telling him of some of the great events of the early church.

As he tells of these events, it is like an unwinding story in which one event leads into the next. For example, after Pentecost, he leads into chapter 3, and tells of Peter and John going into the temple. He tells of the man who had been crippled from birth, asking them for alms. Luke related ...read more

Do Not Say, "I Am A Youth!”

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 15, 2022

This message looks at a teenager who was called by God. Jeremiah was like any other youth; no different than teenagers today. But the Lord was able to use him in an amazing way! God wants even those who are young to serve Him.

I would like to begin our message with a short account concerning a great evangelist in recent church history. “Dwight L. Moody was once asked, ‘How many converts did you have last night?’ Moody answered, ‘Two and one half.’ The other person said, ‘Two adults and a child?’ ‘No,’ Moody replied. ...read more
