A God-Planted Church

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 16, 2022

Wandering In The Wilderness

Singing In The Rain…

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 23, 2022

Introduction: I want to preach a sermon called, “Singing in the Rain.” The words “Singing In The Rain…” come from a famous song sung by Donald O’ Conner. The idea of course is that we often plan things in life and then the rain comes and spoils those plans.
