A Man After God's Own Heart? Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 14, 2018

David committed adultery, and murder by proxie. And God brought a terrible but just judgment upon him that was rightly deserved. But then in Acts 13 we read that David was a man after God's own heart. How can that be?

This sermon series is what I call “Comeback Kings.” It describes the lives of people in Scripture who had had potential for greatness, but whose lives were shattered because of something they or others had done. Ultimately, though they achieved victory from lives of defeat and became “comeback ...read more

Follow Me (1 Of 2)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 25, 2022

Paul loved the Philippian people, and he was greatly concerned about them. He told them, "Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample."

WHY DID PAUL TELL THEM TO FOLLOW HIM? If anyone had examined the life of the apostle Paul, they would have discovered that he was following the Lord Jesus. Paul was giving them a PHYSICAL EXAMPLE or MODEL of what it is to follow Jesus. Someone very wisely said, "Don't follow any leader ...read more

How Does The Bible Describe God?

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on May 9, 2025

If someone asked you to describe your best friend, you would be able to describe them thoroughly. If someone asked you to describe God according to what the scriptures says about Him, COULD YOU DESCRIBE HIM THOROUGHLY?
