Fourth Commandment (4 Of 12)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022

In Romans 12:2 we read, And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

It seems that one of the easiest things in this world to do is follow the crowd and let others do our thinking for us. The lost world is convinced we are so dumb we can not think for ourselves. For example, we cannot even listen to the president of the United States address this nation on ...read more

The Book Of Ruth 3 Of 4

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022

This will be our third sermon on the Book of Ruth. We have been talking about Naomi, and how she and her husband made a bad decision to leave the Land of Israel and move to Moab due to a famine that came to Israel.

We always have to be careful about making decisions, BUT IT IS ESPECIALLY EASY TO MAKE A BAD DECISION DURING DIFFICULT TIMES. Illus: Many people make bad decisions: • In the midst of a MARITAL CRISIS. People get a divorce, but later they live to regret it • In the midst of a CHURCH CRISIS. People ...read more

The Book Of Ruth (2 Of 4)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022

The first sermon from the Book of Ruth showed us the effects of sin on a family that did not trust God for their DIRECTIONS or PROVISIONS.

Look at verse 1 again, we read, “Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehemjudah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.” Look at the words “Bethlehemjudah” and “Moab.” • Bethlehem ...read more

The Book Of Ruth (1 Of 4)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022

In this scripture passage, I want to show you a family that lived among God’s people, and then due to some hard times, they packed up and moved to Moab.

You might be saying, “So what!” people move from one city to another all the time! That is correct, but anytime we find something in the Word of God, it is there for a reason. WHAT IS THE REASON GOD PUT THIS FAMILY IN THE SCRIPTURES? God placed them in the holy scriptures that we might learn ...read more

Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 16, 2022

The Empty Tomb, instead of being an embarrassment, is an unshakable witness to the resurrection of Jesus! It quiets our fears, confirms our sins forgiven, promises a new start, and guarantees immortality! Ends with illus. of the Glittering Cross.

Acts Of The Apostles (4 Of 39)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022

I would remind you again, that Luke is writing to his good friend, Theophilus. He is reporting on the activities of Christ's apostles.

We can probably safely assume that Peter must have made a big impression on Luke, because in chapter two he recorded Peter's first message, and in chapter three he records Peter's second message. In Acts chapter three, we see three things we want to consider, such as: I. THEIR ...read more

The Armor Of God 4 Of 8

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 24, 2022

Often when the police send out an APB (All Points Bulletin) on the police band, they will alert their fellow officers to be on the lookout for a particularly dangerous criminal and they will say they are "Armed and Dangerous".

Many Post Offices have a bulletin board that shows pictures of these criminals so that we will know what they look like if we come into contact with them. But consider our greatest enemy: • You will not hear a thing about our greatest enemy on the police band • You will not find a picture of our ...read more

A 4th look at standing firm in our faith.

Stand Firm - Part 4 June 9, 2019 As you read the gospel of John, in chapter 16, Jesus tells the disciples that people will be against them. In fact, Jesus literally says, “whoever kills you will think they are offering a service to God.” That’s brutally pretty blunt - “Hey guys, I really want ...read more

Wrapped - Pt. 4 - In Help Series

Contributed by Steve Ely on Dec 25, 2016

No one pays that much attention to the wrapping. It’s what is inside that counts . . . right? Maybe this Christmas we should stop and consider how the gift was wrapped.

Wrapped Pt. 4 - In Help I. Introduction There is usually very little attention paid to the wrappings. Even if great time and effort is made to make sure each corner is tucked and folded perfectly. Even if the bow is picked to match exactly. Even if every seam is exact. Most of the time all the ...read more
