Zechariah’s Third Vision: City Without Walls) Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Nov 10, 2021

The Jews in Jerusalem were thinking too small in their expectations of God's goodness. God's future for his people is so abundant that man-made walls could not contain the blessings. Jerusalem will be a "city without walls."

We are becoming familiar with the book of Zechariah. For most Christians, it is a closed book. But God is opening this word to us because it is so relevant to world events today and to our personal journey in God. Today we enter Zechariah’s third vision recorded in chapter 2. The vision, as a ...read more

Renewing Our Consecration To God’s Purposes Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Jul 19, 2022

This exposition of Zechariah 8:9-13 focuses on the importance of Christians being on task and fulfilling their God-given calling in life. This remnant of Jews suffered unnecessary troubles when neglecting their God-given assignment but blessing as they obeyed.

Follow Me (1 Of 2)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 25, 2022

Paul loved the Philippian people, and he was greatly concerned about them. He told them, "Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample."

WHY DID PAUL TELL THEM TO FOLLOW HIM? If anyone had examined the life of the apostle Paul, they would have discovered that he was following the Lord Jesus. Paul was giving them a PHYSICAL EXAMPLE or MODEL of what it is to follow Jesus. Someone very wisely said, "Don't follow any leader ...read more

Follow Me 2 Of 2

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 25, 2022

In a previous sermon I preached on the importance of following the right people.

When Jesus was here on earth He stated on one occasion, "...FOLLOW ME, and I will make you fishers of men." It is interesting that the Bible not only records that He told these men to follow Him, but also it records that they were smart enough to obey. Look at Matt. 4:20, it states, ...read more
