Someone starts off as a guitar player but he can not play. The group then gives him some sticks, puts him in the back, and calls him a drummer. When ...read more

Here Comes Trouble Again! # 2b

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 6, 2022

In the previous sermon, we established that one of the things that distinguishes us from each other is the way we conduct ourselves when troubles come our way.

When the good times come, we all respond basically the same way. For example, when someone asks us HOW WE ARE, all of us just give them a big smile and we say, “GREAT!” In the difficult times, we can see the difference in people. When the difficult times come and you ask them HOW THEY ARE. . . • ...read more

Here Comes Trouble Again! # 2a

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 6, 2022

When things are going right for MOST of us, folks ask us how we are and we give them a big smile and say that things are GREAT!

Our differences are revealed, not during our GOOD TIMES, but during the BAD TIMES in our lives! One thing we all seem to do during the DIFFICULT TIMES in life is to turn to our friends for sound advice. Most of the time when we do this what we get is not good sound advice, but a lot of RHYMES ...read more

The Results Of Life's Trials

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 9, 2021

There is a story told of Chippie the parakeet. Chippie never saw it coming. One second he was peacefully perched in his cage, sending a song into the air; the next second he was sucked into the line of the vacuum cleaner.

Instinctively she turned to pick it up. She had barely said hello, when ssswwwwwpppppp! Chippie got ...read more
