    What Will Be Your Legacy? (1 Of 2)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 23, 2022
     | 1,585 views

    Sometimes we Christians sit around and talk about some unusual things that have happened in church services.

    Illus: Dr. Odell Belger was preaching a graduation sermon for a Christian School in York, South Carolina. Dr. Wayne Smith is the pastor of this great church. They held the graduation in the gymnasium to hold the large crowd that came out for this special event. When Dr. Belger got about ...read more

    Life Is One Big Test

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 23, 2022
     | 1,535 views

    Someone said, “Life is a test”. Life is one big university that is in session 365 days a year.

    I do not know about you, but I have never enjoyed taking a test. Now I can remember when I was in college. It seemed as if some of my classmates enjoyed taking a test because it gave them a chance to show off how smart they were. But I never had a lot to show off, so I never enjoyed taking a ...read more

    A Day’s Wages Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 25, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,866 views

    Gathering lost souls for the kingdom is considered labor. When Jesus returns, the payment that laborers (believers) receive is eternal life, and that exact same wage goes to all who have been hired, or rather called, by the Lord.

    This evening’s message is entitled “A Day’s Wages,” and it’s taken from what is commonly called “The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard.” This parable speaks of the reward or payment for one’s labor in the kingdom. There is a story among Aesop’s Fables that addresses the reward for one’s ...read more

    Investing Our Talents Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 25, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,588 views

    Believers are supposed to invest their spiritual gifts, and multiply them by winning other people to faith in Christ. If we fail to labor in the kingdom, then perhaps we don’t know Christ after all, and we will be cast into outer darkness.

    This evening’s sermon is entitled, “Investing Our Talents,” and it’s taken from what is called “The Parable of the Talents.” In reference to this passage, Donald S. Whitney states, “[God] said in Matthew 25:14-30, that we are accountable for all the talents we have received and how we use them for ...read more

    Facing The Storm Of Fear

     | 1,383 views

    Something we tell our children during fearful times is, “Do not be afraid!”

    It is easy to speak these words but it is not always easy not to be afraid. Illus: Have you heard about the man who owned a parrot that swore like a sailor? This parrot was so terrible, it could swear for five minutes straight without repeating itself. One day the man finally got tired of this ...read more

    Dealing With Problems In Life

    There are many things in life that distinguish us from each other. Such as:

    ? Ethnicity ? Economics ? Intelligence ? Spirituality ? Personal appearances ? Talents and skills ? Personalities Another thing that distinguishes us from each other is how we handle problems. We all have problems: But some folks do not have the slightest idea how to deal with them. While others ...read more

    In September of 2005 John Roberts went before the Senate Judiciary Committee to be examined to see if he was qualified to serve on the Supreme Court as the Chief Justice.

    Many liked the comparison he made with being a judge to being an umpire in a baseball game. He stated that he felt that as a judge, he is not a player of the game, but it is his job to call the FOULS and STRIKES! All the evidence indicates that he will make a good chief justice. But that can not ...read more

    The war in Iraq is a war that will go down in the history books because the Americans defeated a brutal dictator and his regime, and helped this Islamic nation gain their freedom to form a democracy.

    Thousands and thousands of lives have been destroyed in bringing about this democracy. But the price of freedom is always high. Many feel the reasons for invading Iraq and going to war with Saddam Hussein are justified. There are those, however, who accuse the President for going to war for ...read more

    The Book Of Mark # 15

     | 1,331 views

    The calling of the twelve disciples is significant. These twelve men were special in that they were chosen to be the twelve disciples that the Lord Jesus Himself was going to teach and train.

    These twelve men had opportunities that no other men who ever lived on this earth have had. Each disciple that Jesus called into the ministry had special skills. Many of them were fishermen, and He took their skill as fishermen and made them “fishers of men.” Let’s look at two things: I. THE ...read more

    This is an age of symbolism. Every major company across America has some kind of logo to represent their business.

    Many of the symbols have become so popular that the moment we see their logo we recognize their company without even having to see the name of the company. We Christians today likewise have a symbol that represents our faith. That symbol is the cross. The moment we see this symbol we ...read more

     | 2,096 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

    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

    Walls

    Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Apr 4, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 18,319 views

    The greatest wall that sin erected was a wall between us and God. Our relationship with God was bricked off and blocked and there was nothing we could ever do on our own to tear one brick out of that wall.

    TITLE: WALLS SCRIPTURE: JOSHUA 6:1-5 (Some text used from Rev. Shawn Drake message and expanded upon) The narrative of Joshua leading the Israelites to bring down the walls of Jericho is a powerful account that demonstrates the faithfulness and might of the lord. This narrative is part of the ...read more

    Receiving Treasure In Heaven

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Apr 5, 2022
     | 1,566 views

    Our treasure on earth eclipses our desire for "treasure in heaven." Only God can give us a desire for "treasure in heaven." Therefore, we must forsake our treasure on earth and follow Jesus to receive "treasure in heaven."

    You will notice how this passage begins. We are told that Jesus ‘was setting out on his journey’ (v. 17). And we know where that journey will lead. It will take Jesus to Jerusalem, where a cross awaits Him. He has already foretold His death twice in recent days, and He will speak of it again—in ...read more

    It never ceases to amaze me that when people start coming to Sunday School they talk about how much they learn from the Bible.

    Illus: A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five and six year olds. • After explaining the commandment to, "honor thy father and thy mother," she asked "Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?" • Without ...read more
