Funeral Service #2 (This Is A Sermon For A Christian Man Or Woman)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 1, 2022

There are many advantages of living in a small community. One of the things you will notice immediately is how friendly people are, and how much they care for each other.

For example, if you drive through the mountains of North Carolina on some of the old dirt roads where neighbors live five and ten miles apart, you will notice that the people in the yard will stop what they are doing when you drive by, smile, and wave at you. That is so different from people who ...read more

King Asa … His Faithfulness And Foolishness

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 3, 2022

Many make the mistake of thinking that all the things in the Old Testament no longer apply to our modern age.

Even some preachers in their sermon preparation choose to preach out of the New Testament, because they feel that the New Testament is more applicable to today’s congregations. While much of the Old Testament did deal with Israel and the ceremonial laws that were given to them, a great deal of ...read more

"Peter, Feed My Sheep” (11 Of 21)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 11, 2022

:We can become sluggish in our bodies and go to the doctor, and after a thorough examination he might conclude that our bodies are lacking in calcium, iron, potassium, or some other particular vitamin.

In the passage of scripture under consideration, it seems as though Peter has examined us and has discovered we all have a deficiency when it comes to having the proper attitude toward certain things. One's attitude is how one thinks toward a certain thing. Our thinking can be correct or ...read more

Psalms Of The Sons Of Korah - Psalm 42 Part 1

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 15, 2022

The Korahites were the singers and composers in the Tabernacle and Temple. Their Psalms are a rich source of spiritual teaching. Psalm 42 is a Psalm of deep personal feelings where the psalmist has lost his joy and was in a rough patch.

A Conversation With A Woman At The Well

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 15, 2022

Today we want to look at a conversation between the Lord Jesus and a woman at the well. We find this conversation recorded in the gospel of John.

As many of you know, John is not included in the synoptic gospels. WHY? The Lord’s earthly ministry was around 3 1/2 years. • The synoptic gospels, Matthew, Mark, and Luke deal with the last year of His ministry. They dealt with a lot of things in His ministry, but not in much detail. • The ...read more

The Cause And Cure For Depression

Repairing The Altar Of The Lord

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 17, 2022

As you read through the sacred Scriptures, time and time again you read of altars.

Why? These people in the Scriptures understood the significance of altars. For example, after the flood, when Noah came out of the ark, he had a lot of things he had to do, such as: • Build a house for his family to live in • Plant a garden so his family could have food to eat But the Bible ...read more

What Do You Preach?

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 17, 2022

Folks have different ideas about men and women in the ministry. They are referred to as “People of the Cloth.”

Illus: The phrase, “People of the Cloth”, reminds me of the pastor of a conservative small-town congregation. He received the gift of a white suit from a friend, but he was a bit reluctant to wear it. Since it was so attractive and a perfect fit, he decided to put it on one warm Sunday. As he was ...read more

Some Things To Show Before We Go

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 18, 2022

There are a lot of jokes about growing old. For example, it has been said:

We're over the hill but don't feel sad This side of the hill ain't all that bad. So give us "five" and then a smile To us who have been here for awhile. With by-pass pain and mended hip And plumbing fixtures prone to drip; We all may seem a sorry lot, But we rejoice for what ...read more

Life Is One Big Test

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 23, 2022

Someone said, “Life is a test”. Life is one big university that is in session 365 days a year.

I do not know about you, but I have never enjoyed taking a test. Now I can remember when I was in college. It seemed as if some of my classmates enjoyed taking a test because it gave them a chance to show off how smart they were. But I never had a lot to show off, so I never enjoyed taking a ...read more
