     | 4,344 views

    Notice, this verse starts off with the word, “Beware.” Any time we see the word “Beware” we need to pay attention!

    Illus: If you are an insurance salesman and you drive up to a home that has a large sign on the gate of the fence that says, “Beware of bad dog”, you can not blame the owner if this vicious dog tries to eat your leg off before you get to the car. Life is filled with many things to BEWARE ...read more

    I want to preach on something today that applies to everyone here, and I hope you will give me your undivided attention.

    Illus: This sermon reminds me of a new pastor that came to his first church. Being new in the ministry he did not know what to expect. For four weeks he was very busy. He had eight funerals and five weddings plus his other duties. He did not have time to write his regular Sunday sermon so he used ...read more

    Bible Study 2 Corinthians 12:9-10

    Contributed by Michael Brown on Mar 25, 2022
     | 17,966 views

    This study was personal to me because I know what it's like to be weak. I survived a traumatic brain injury in 2006 & was in rehab for a couple years. God used that event to bring my life in accordance with His will.

    The format I use for Bible studies comes from one of the study Bibles I have. That Bible has worksheets in it for you to study scripture using the H.E.A.R format. That is Highlight-Explain-Apply-Respond. Highlight is the verse to study. Explain & Apply are pretty self explanatory. Respond is ...read more

    Almost everyone loves to watch cowboy movies.

    Illus: They advertise the Western Channel on television by saying, “There is a little bit of cowboy in all of us!” One of the things we see in most cowboy movies is the sheriff. And we know that he is the sheriff because he has a badge to identify himself as the sheriff. But the sheriff is not ...read more

    God Looks On The Heart

     | 2,633 views

    When Samuel grew old, and Israel looked around and saw other nations had kings, they decided they wanted one also.

    Looking around and wanting something that someone else has can get us into lots of trouble. Illus: A man saw other men with their good looking wives, and decided he wanted a wife. One day, he walked into the restaurant with a full-grown ostrich behind him, and as he sat there, the waitress came ...read more

    Introduction: Most of us have attended a high school or college graduation at some time in our life.

    The students who are graduating are told by the commencement speaker that they are preparing to enter the adult world, and that each and every one of them have talents and skills they can contribute to making this a better world in which to live. This is true, but if the commencement speaker was ...read more

    Two Kinds Of Appearances

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 25, 2022
     | 2,614 views

    For many today, life is all about appearances. We live in an age where people want to APPEAR one way but the reality is the opposite of their appearance.

    Illus: During the Oscars in Hollywood in 2004, the actors and actresses tried to give the impression that they cared about poverty. Listen, if they really cared about the poor as they pretend to care, instead of buying those dresses that some of the actresses paid hundreds of thousands of dollars ...read more

    The Book Of Joshua 2 Of 9

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 26, 2022
     | 2,254 views

    The Book of Joshua teaches us many valuable lessons. One of the lessons we learn in the book of Joshua is that God is a GOD OF GRACE.

    When I say God is a God of Grace, I am saying that God does what He does for us, not because of our goodness, but because of His goodness! Illus: When we think about the God of Grace, we think of the man who owned the city's newspaper who had 3 sons. He offered ownership of the paper to the ...read more

    Com Out, Come Out, Wherever You Are!

    Contributed by David Nolte on Mar 27, 2022
     | 2,928 views

    We will learn that one cannot hide from God but that one can run to Him.

    I suppose we all have played hide and seek. Some of you – or us – still look for a hiding place when our wives make a list of some major tasks – for us – like vacuuming the carpet, or emptying the dishwasher, or taking out the trash, or picking up socks or putting our clean things in the ...read more

     | 1,615 views

    I want to preach about what many believe is the number one problem in many homes today…THAT IS COMMUNICATION.

    If you do the research most marriage counselors will tell you that 85% of the problems they deal with in marriages today has to do with communication. Some believe the reason for the problem with communication has to do with the difference between the male and female brain. Illus: Did you hear ...read more

    Easter, Mary Magdalene And Red Eggs

    Contributed by Ernie Arnold on Mar 29, 2022
     | 5,037 views

    This is a sermon dedicated on centering our message on Jesus. At the same time it shows how some symbols that have attached themselves to Easter have in fact an important message to share with us - the Easter Egg.

    Scripture: John 20:1-18 Theme: Easter, Mary Magdalene and Red Eggs Proposition: Do we boycott all the things that have attached themselves to Easter? Instead all allowing the bunny, the egg hunts and all that stuff side track us - let's listen as the Ancient Church tells us about how the ...read more

     | 2,495 views

    A college boy was explaining the reason he flunked out in college was because he had a clinker in his thinker.

    Did you know that about ninety-nine-and-nine-tenths of the problems that confront people is because they have that same problem--they have a clinker in their thinkers? We laugh this off as not being important, but God sees the way people think as being very important. Illus: We see this in the ...read more

    What The Bible Teaches About Hell

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 29, 2022
     | 1,544 views

    The last event in the life of SAINTS, as far as being connected to earth, is after the millennium they go to their eternal home in the glorious place the Bible calls heaven.

    But in this message we are going to study the last thing that will happen to SINNERS, as they will spend eternity in the horrendous place the Bible calls hell! In this day of liberalism, when a preacher preaches about hell he is immediately branded in a negative way as being one of those ...read more

    Agape Love

     | 3,435 views

    Have you ever wondered why God is so good to lost people when they do not reciprocate in their feelings toward Him?

    Illus: Perhaps the answer can be illustrated by the story of the little girl who went to her mother to show her some fruit her friend gave her. The mother said, “Your friend has been very kind.” “Yes,” said the child, “She gave me more; but I gave some away.” When her mother asked who she gave ...read more

    God Is A God Of Goodness

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 30, 2022
     | 4,516 views

    Any time people are special in our lives, we want to tell others about them.

    This is why we Christians tell others about the GOD OF THE BIBLE AND HIS LOVE AND GOODNESS. The reason some do not talk more about the God of the Bible than they do is because they really do not know Him well enough to talk about Him! Illus: Dr. Odell Belger said that he arrived his first year in ...read more
