Sermon On A Predicated Presumption

Contributed by William Meakin on Oct 1, 2025

A "predicated presumption" is primarily an inference of judicature where a specific fact is assumed to be true once a foundational "predicate fact" has been established.

Don Miguel Ruiz, a Mexican author once remarked: "Don't make assumptions. Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama" 1 John 4:1 reminds us: “Beloved, do not believe ...read more

Here Comes Trouble Again! # 3

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 6, 2022

I am not one who keeps up with the various rock group singers. In fact, I do not believe I could name one rock group that exists today.

What is interesting about these rock groups is how they decide who is going to be the lead singer. Illus: Someone suggested they did it this way. Someone starts off as a guitar player but he can not play. The group then gives him some sticks, puts him in the back, and calls him a drummer. When ...read more

"Lord, Why Did They Have To Die?" Series

Contributed by David Henderson on Jul 30, 2013

Job was a very righteous man. In fact the Bible says that he was blameless and that he feared God and stayed away from evil. A messenger shows up and gives him all kinds of bad news. Your oxen are dead. So are your sheep. Now your servants are dead.

“Lord why did THEY have to die?” Luke 7:11-16 The time of year was Christmas and my family and I were gathering together to celebrate. We were at my mother’s home in Arkansas. My sister came in; she had her son with her. He was about to turn one. I asked where her husband and ...read more

Here Comes Trouble Again! # 2b

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 6, 2022

In the previous sermon, we established that one of the things that distinguishes us from each other is the way we conduct ourselves when troubles come our way.

When the good times come, we all respond basically the same way. For example, when someone asks us HOW WE ARE, all of us just give them a big smile and we say, “GREAT!” In the difficult times, we can see the difference in people. When the difficult times come and you ask them HOW THEY ARE. . . • ...read more

Week 2: Faith & Family Series

Contributed by Daniel Habben on May 23, 2021

God urges us to persevere in our faith, even as Job did.

Finish this sentence. “If you don’t succeed at first…try, try again.” Do you know who besides God best exemplifies that kind of perseverance? Satan. If there is one thing I admire about Satan, and I know that’s a shocking thing to say, but if there is something we can learn from him, it’s ...read more

God's Restoration (Job 42)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jan 4, 2026

Is suffering always because of our sin?

Would our faith endure despite persecution or other suffering? Did God reject Job’s friends’ simplistic judgmental attitude that all suffering is caused by personal sin? Is present suffering sometimes completely independent of our sins? Let’s conclude in Job 42. Did Job finally admit his total ...read more

Pain And Suffering?

Contributed by John Lowe on Mar 25, 2015

Satan uses pain to make people doubt God’s goodness. He wants to inject doubt into our minds until we distrust the character and behavior of our heavenly Father.

What Are Your Days Saying About You?

Who Is Causing The Trouble?

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 4, 2022

There are many things a congregation of this size will disagree on, but one thing we all would agree on is that we live in a world that has a lot of trouble.

What we need to do is find out WHO IS CAUSING ALL THE TROUBLE! For example, we constantly hear about the TROUBLE we are having in our schools in America. Consider the shootings, cursing, fighting, rebellion, and low academic achievements. This may sound simplistic, but anyone with common sense ...read more
