    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 30, 2022
     | 1,524 views

    This is the age of communication. Now we can communicate with people around the world with the cell phones that we carry with us every place we go.

    An article in The Reader's Digest stated that a man who had throat cancer was cured by his doctor's treating him with strong doses of vitamin C.

    This was interesting because the man only received help when he received the strong dosages. In these sermons on soul winning we hope you are getting a "strong dosage” effect. It is the prayer of this pastor that by giving these "strong dosages" week after week that many of you ...read more

    All of us have driven through neighborhoods and noticed that many of the houses are built with carports - some even with double carports - to park their cars out of the bad weather.

    In many of these homes, from the street you see the garage doors are open, and you immediately come to the conclusion there is no way they could park a car in there because they are filled with what looks like junk. It is even dangerous to walk into some of these carports because you might get ...read more

    Dealing With The Lost 1 Of 5

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 7, 2022
     | 1,521 views

    God put the church here for a specific purpose! It is obvious today as we look at many churches and compare them with the scriptures, that many churches are ignorant of their purpose.

    Ignorance is something we see in all areas of life. Illus: When Vice President Al Gore was seeking to be president, he was running against President George W. Bush, who is known as a man of FAITH. God is a big part of his life. Gore knew that the polls indicated that the American people liked ...read more

     | 1,495 views

    Having things in common is often a major part of the initial attraction in selecting a mate for life.

    Don’t let this shock you, but some anthropologists tell us that at an unconscious level we even go so far as to choose partners who look like us. There must be some truth to that, because look at: (Humor…select a couple that everyone knows) Some may doubt the conclusions of the anthropologists, ...read more

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 11, 2022
     | 1,019 views

    This will be our fourth and final message in this series on stewardship. So far we have talked about our being stewards of INFORMATION GOD HAS ENTRUSTED US WITH and our being stewards of MONEY GOD HAS ENTRUSTED US WITH.

    In this message we want to turn our attention to that part of God’s Word that reminds us we are stewards of our TIME and TALENTS. One of the things the Lord has promised us, if we are faithful stewards of these things He has entrusted to us, is that He will bless us. Look at Rev. 22:12. We read, ...read more

    The American industrialist, Henry Ford, was once asked to donate money for the construction of a new medical facility.

    The billionaire pledged to donate $5,000. The next day in the newspaper, the headline read, "Henry Ford contributes $50,000 to the local hospital."

    I guess most of us have heard the following prayer.

    Illus: "So far today, God, I’ve done alright. I haven’t gossiped, I haven’t lost my temper. I haven’t been grumpy or nasty or selfish. I’m really glad of that.
