    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 7, 2022
     | 1,336 views

    We are looking at the five different appeals that Paul used in dealing with these Galatians.

    In the first appeal, he dealt with them about three things: • He appealed to their PAST • He appealed to their PRESENT • He appealed to their PREDICAMENT In this second appeal, he appeals to their love for him and how he should be treated by them. • Being a Minister of the Gospel is considered by ...read more

    Grace From Galatians (14 Of 19)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 8, 2022
     | 1,351 views

    We are now coming to the last section of the Book of Galatians. We have dealt with the doctrine of Grace in many ways.

    But in this last section, Paul begins to deal with the conduct of the Believer. In the remaining part of the Book of Galatians, Paul breaks the conduct of the Believer into six sections. In this sermon we are going to see where God has set the Believer free from the bondage of the law and how it ...read more

     | 1,918 views

    Is it harder to turn the other cheek, to offer something else when someone has taken something from us, to be generous, to be merciful and to go the extra mile?

    LOVING OUR ENEMIES Text: Luke 6: 26-38 Luk 6:27-38  "But I say to you that listen, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,  (28)  bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you.  (29)  If anyone strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also; and ...read more

    When God adds a promise of land to Abram’s “seed” promise (Genesis 12:7), we think that Abram is goanna be great. The story doesn’t end there. God turns from the promise of descendants to the possession of land.

    Sermon, I Give You This Land, Even More, I give this land to Your Children. The story of God and Abram starts when God commands Abram to migrate to Canaan. God offers Abram magnanimous promises: he will be a great nation; he will have a great name; God will bless people who bless him and curse the ...read more

     | 1,947 views

    Many in America today, seem to be confused as to why, when we incarcerate law breakers, and send them through a rehabilitation program, they go back to doing the same crimes again, after they are released.

    Well, the problem is that we are trying to fix the wrong thing. Illus: If you had trouble with the carburetor on your car, and you took it to be fixed, and the mechanic worked on the transmission, you would find, when you drove the car from the garage, that you still had the same trouble as ...read more

    Acts Of The Apostles (7 Of 39)

     | 1,267 views

    Luke wrote to Theophilus, telling him of some of the great events of the early church.

    As he tells of these events, it is like an unwinding story in which one event leads into the next. For example, after Pentecost, he leads into chapter 3, and tells of Peter and John going into the temple. He tells of the man who had been crippled from birth, asking them for alms. Luke related ...read more

    Everyone enjoys watching the “Bloopers” on television. That is, we enjoy watching the actors and actresses make all kinds of hilarious mistakes that we ordinarily would not see on TV.

    Illus: But if you really want to look at some “Bloopers”, the best place to look for them is in the church bulletin or on church signs. These are all true messages put on church bulletins and church signs. • Don't let worry kill you--let the church help. • Remember in prayer the many who are ...read more

    When The Brook Dries Up

     | 3,407 views

    Somehow we have the mistaken idea that the Christian life is like a fairy tale.

    That is, you accept the Lord as your Savior, and then you can live happily ever after, and never have another crisis in your life! But there is no such life for any of us while we are here on earth. It does not matter: • If a person is rich or poor • What country a person lives in • What family a ...read more

    Confidence During Uncertainty

    Just like Abram, all we need to do is simply believe and trust in God. Yes, we can be confident in the times of uncertainty.

    We have been talking about having confidence during certain times in our lives--confidence when fear surrounds us, and confidence during conflicting times. Today I want to look at being confident in times of uncertainty. If anyone knows about uncertainty, it's our world today. You all know ...read more

     | 2,775 views

    Life is filled with many decisions. Some of these decisions are difficult to make. Some of these are small decisions and some are large, but every day we make many decisions.

    Illus: A group of friends went deer hunting and paired off in twos for the day. That night, one of the hunters returned alone, staggering under the weight of an eight-point buck. • Immediately someone said, "Where's Fred?" • The very tired hunter said, "Well, Fred had a stroke ...read more

     | 2,016 views

    We all fail at times. When that happens, how do we pull ourselves out of the dugout and get our heads back into the game of life?

    There was an important business executive who boarded the New Orleans to Washington train. He had a very important business meeting and he needed to be awakened in order to get off the train in Atlanta about five o'clock in the morning.

    Just like his early followers, we live with one eye on the clouds awaiting Jesus’ return, but until that day, we have the proof of his resurrection, we have the power of the Holy Spirit, and we have a purpose to fulfill.

     | 2,111 views

    Two key principles for walking in the Spirit are discussed. One concerns goals and disciplining the thought life. The other concerns identifying with the death and resurrection of Christ.

    Intro How do we walk in the Spirit? That is the question we will explore in this message. To walk in the Spirit requires intentional decisions on a daily basis. In our previous message, we examined the latter part of Galatians 5. There Paul gave instruction on the difference between walking in ...read more

    King Agrippa had asked Festus if he could hear Paul speak in person. Festus agreed, and Paul delivered a message none of them could ever forget.

    Paul's Testimony Before King Agrippa Introduction: This chapter has a record of Paul's testimony, and almost autobiography, when he was brought before King Agrippa in Caesarea.
