    Acts Of The Apostles # 27 - 39

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022
     | 2,019 views

    In this portion of Scripture, we have the opportunity to travel with Paul while he is at Ephesus.

    Some of the places that Paul visited would not have impressed us, but we can see from these verses that God used Paul in a great way. This is the place Paul wanted to visit on his second missionary journey, and God forbid him to come, but now, God not only allowed him to come, but God gave Paul an ...read more

    Acts Of The Apostles (15 Of 39)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022
     | 2,108 views

    After the young Christian church had been through much persecution, it was called upon to do two unusual things:

    • Accept Saul, who had been one of the worst enemies it had. • Accept the Gentiles as part of the Christian church. We must remember, the young Christian church was composed of Jews who, although saved, had been raised from childhood to consider that anyone who was a gentile, was on the ...read more

    Some Things To Show Before We Go

    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

    Why Christians Do Not Continue In Sin (3 Of 3)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 24, 2022
     | 1,783 views

    While justification has declared us righteous, and we have received a new nature, it did not eradicate our ability to sin.

    As Christians, we must be aware that we not only have been given the “new nature” from God, but that the old Adamic nature that we were born with, lies there ready to rise up at any time. HOW CAN WE LIVE A VICTORIOUS LIFE OVER SIN? As chapters 1-5 have taught us, we, who are saved by faith, now ...read more

    A Non-Repayable Debt Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 25, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,276 views

    All people owe a non-repayable debt to the Lord. If He dismisses our debt, then we should extend the same courtesy to any of our debtors. If Jesus forgives us; we should forgive others. Our debt is forgiven through faith in Christ.

    I have entitled our message this evening “A Non-repayable Debt,” and we will be looking at what is commonly called, “The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant.” “John Oglethorpe, in talking to John Wesley, once made the comment, ‘I never forgive.’ Mr. Wesley replied, ‘Then, Sir, I hope that you ...read more

    A Day’s Wages Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 25, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,770 views

    Gathering lost souls for the kingdom is considered labor. When Jesus returns, the payment that laborers (believers) receive is eternal life, and that exact same wage goes to all who have been hired, or rather called, by the Lord.

    This evening’s message is entitled “A Day’s Wages,” and it’s taken from what is commonly called “The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard.” This parable speaks of the reward or payment for one’s labor in the kingdom. There is a story among Aesop’s Fables that addresses the reward for one’s ...read more

    Investing Our Talents Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 25, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,503 views

    Believers are supposed to invest their spiritual gifts, and multiply them by winning other people to faith in Christ. If we fail to labor in the kingdom, then perhaps we don’t know Christ after all, and we will be cast into outer darkness.

    This evening’s sermon is entitled, “Investing Our Talents,” and it’s taken from what is called “The Parable of the Talents.” In reference to this passage, Donald S. Whitney states, “[God] said in Matthew 25:14-30, that we are accountable for all the talents we have received and how we use them for ...read more

    "Where Art Thou?”

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 25, 2022
     | 5,497 views

    God asked Adam a simple question, “Where art Thou?”

    Have you noticed that many times we are asked questions, and we wonder why we are being asked such a question because the answer seems so obvious. Illus: Listen to these foolish questions and their answers - Q. A lawyer said to a man on the witness stand, “What happened then?” A. “He told me, ‘I ...read more

    There are days in our life that stand out above others and we will never forget those days as long as we live.

    • We can remember the day we got married In all fairness, some of us men do forget our anniversary, which is not a good thing to do!

    Things We Need For The New Year 1 Of 2

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 30, 2022
     | 1,011 views

    As we enter a New Year, we never know what things will be like during the next 365 days. Some go to fortunetellers at this time of the year hoping to find out what the future holds for them.

    But God had a purpose in us not knowing everything. Illus: A man was wandering around a fairground and he happened to see a fortuneteller's tent. Thinking it would be good for a laugh, he went inside and sat down. "Ahh....." said the woman, as she gazed into her crystal ball. ...read more

    How To Overcome Temptation

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 2, 2022
     | 2,007 views

    All sincere Christians have some things in common. One thing is that they all want to live a life that is pleasing to the Lord.

    They also have to contend with the devil’s throwing every temptation he can throw at them every day to try to keep them from pleasing the Lord. It is a scriptural fact, as long as we live in these mortal bodies we will have to contend with this. WHY IS THIS A PROBLEM? Because, every Christian ...read more

    What It Takes To Be A Soldier (Veterans Day)

    based on 1 rating
     | 7,555 views

    Many folks are ignorant about the national holidays this country has set aside for us to observe. Veterans day is one of them.

    If you ask some why we observe this day as a national holiday, they know it has something to do with the military, but they do not understand the significance of it. Illus: They remind me of a young man that took his girl friend to her first football game. They arrived at the game when the two ...read more

    Sermon # 28 - The Power Of Words Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jul 24, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,221 views

    Our words have the power to bless or curse to build up or destroy. The question is, ‘Are we obedient to the voice of God and using this authority that God has granted to us to bless others and do His will?’

    A withered hand is healed We read in Luke 6:6,“And it came to pass on another Sabbath that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man there, and his right hand was withered.” In Luke 6:10, we read, “And he looked round about on them all, and said unto him, Stretch forth thy ...read more

    Recovering From Temptation

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Aug 23, 2023
     | 1,102 views

    The message given to us in Psalm 32 is that there is greater joy in uncovering our sin and finding forgiveness than in trying to cover up our sin. And a right view of God allows us to do just that.

    Anyone who has ever purchased a home knows that there is a big difference in what the buyer or the seller sees and what a certified home inspector sees. We may try to look beyond the things that appeal to us like the layout of the house, the size of the bedrooms, and so forth, and see a crack in a ...read more
