What Is Your Calling? (Part 6) Series

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Mar 10, 2016

Has God really called you? Then where is that separation? Where is your heart? What is it captivated by? Is the presence of the Holy Spirit evident in your life? This is not something you can determine or speak for yourself. This the church will testify.

Opening Illustration: A certain king needed a faithful servant and had to choose between two candidates for the office. He took both at fixed wages and told them to fill a basket with water from a nearby well, saying that he would come in the evening to inspect their work. After dumping one or two ...read more

The Book Of Joshua 6 Of 9

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 26, 2022

When we get into chapter 7, the wonderful victory of defeating Jericho had to be fresh in the minds of the people of God.

WHAT A VICTORY! But now there were many more cities that needed to be defeated, such as the city of Ai which was next on the agenda. We do not know a great deal about Ai. • The reason we do not know a great deal about this town is because of its insignificance • We know that it was located east ...read more

The Book Of Joshua 1 Of 9

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 26, 2022

In our scripture reading, we see the death of Moses has taken place

Moses goes down in the pages of history as one of the greatest men who ever walked on this earth. Once the death of this great man of God took place, many probably felt like everything was coming to an end. But I am convinced that one of the reasons that God removes great men from the earth, such ...read more

Fruit Of The Spirit # 7

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 1, 2022

There are people who attend football games because that stuff is real to them. They eat, sleep, breathe, and live for football!

There are others who attend football games and you wonder why they are there. Probably it is: • Because someone invited them to attend • Because they were bored and had nothing better to do • Because some like to be part of large crowd Illus: Did you hear they have new postage stamps depicting the ...read more

The Change Jesus Makes

Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Apr 2, 2022

Jesus is in the business of change.

Jesus is in the business of change. No one ever left an encounter with Jesus unchanged. They either loved Him more or loved Him less—and perhaps even hated Him—but they were never indifferent to Him. And the same is true for you and me. We cannot be indifferent to Him either. So, it is my prayer ...read more

Where Is The Lord God Of Elijah (2 Of 2)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 4, 2022

In the previous sermon we talked about Elijah, who was Elisha’s predecessor.

We learned that Elisha followed Elijah everywhere he went. Elisha followed Elijah from Gilgal to Beth-el, to Jericho, to Jordan. Elijah asked Elisha to “Tarry here...” three times, but every time Elisha would say, “...As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee...” Elijah, ...read more

"Be Not Ye Therefore Like Unto Them” (1 Of 4)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 4, 2022

Most mothers have known the pain of having to place their babies in a day-care facility for the first time and knowing they would have to be away from them for eight or nine hours while they went to work.

Illus: Recently one mother, who had to do this with her first baby, explained that she began to cry as she wrapped that little eight-pound boy up in his warm blanket to get him ready for the day-care. She said that throughout the day she was constantly wondering what he was doing. Jesus knows ...read more

The Thessalonians 1 Of 14 (1 Of 2)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 6, 2022

In 1 and 2 Thess. some last days events are dealt with. If we are not careful we can get those events mixed up.

For example, in 1 Thess. Paul dealt with the RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH. He had this to say in 1 Thess. 4:16-18. We read, “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which ...read more

Isn’t It Grand? Grandparents Day!

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 11, 2022

Many churches observe Father’s Day and Mother’s Day, but very seldom mention anything about Grandparents Day.

This is a very serious mistake, because in some ways, grandparents are as important as fathers and mothers to a child. Paul wrote to Timothy and he mentioned his grandmother. Look at 2 Timothy 1:5, we read, “When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy ...read more

Eschatology 16 Of 16 The New Heaven And The New Earth

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 12, 2022

Today it is not unusual to hear professing Christians claim they have all kinds of visions and revelations they have received from God.

I do not doubt that many of these have received these visions and revelations they claim they have received, but knowing the life of some of these professing Christians, I do doubt that these visions and revelations came from God. Some are quick to point out that many of the New Testament Saints ...read more

Third Commandment (3 Of 12)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022

The Jews of old usually gave their children names that had meaning. Today we give our children names and have no idea what they mean, we go more by how they sound. Some do not even go by sound.

Illus: In Connecticut four ministers were named Wright none of them were related. To avoid confusion: • One was referred to as: “Minister Upright". • Another was referred to as, “Minister Downright”. • And another was referred to as, “Minister Outright.” • And the fourth was referred to as, ...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
