    When Good Things Happen To Bad People

    Rewritten for Calverton Baptist Church: In a world of injustice, "bad" people get good things they do not deserve. But grace gives us gentle gifts, gives us the satisfaction of outwaiting our enemies, and allows us to wait for God’s justice.

    I was in my office at Takoma Park church, and, as so often happened, someone stopped by to ask for help. The story was very much like most of the stories I had heard. He said that he just needed a few dollars to get by. Tomorrow there would be a job and, “Pastor, if you’ll just give me ...read more

    When You Are In The Cave

    Lessons from God are often better taught in a dark cave.

    Have you felt like you were in a cave driven there by despair, sin, your physical or spiritual enemies? It's dark and dank and you wonder if God sees your predicament and cares. You are afraid to even look out the entrance lest your enemies find you and torment you. David had a similar ...read more

    Are there good reasons to believe that Christian Theism is the most plausibly true religion? If so, Jesus demands our attention, our faith, our love and our total devotion.

    SE051814 HOW I MET MY SAVIOR 4. Jesus: Fact or Fiction?

    What The Bible Teaches About Hell

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 29, 2022
     | 1,527 views

    The last event in the life of SAINTS, as far as being connected to earth, is after the millennium they go to their eternal home in the glorious place the Bible calls heaven.

    But in this message we are going to study the last thing that will happen to SINNERS, as they will spend eternity in the horrendous place the Bible calls hell! In this day of liberalism, when a preacher preaches about hell he is immediately branded in a negative way as being one of those ...read more

    After Friday nobody expected what would happen on Sunday

    Nobody had expected this. It was only two days ago that the people of Jerusalem had watched as Jesus had been crucified as a heretic and a traitor to Rome. For three years Jesus had travelled throughout Israel. Preaching, teaching, healing the sick and feeding the hungry. He had quieted ...read more

    Many churches and denominations today are observing the Lord's Supper less and less, but this is not God's plan for the church. It appears that the first Christians observed the Lord's Supper weekly on the Lord's Day.

    Introduction: A. Today’s sermon continues our series called “Blueprint: God’s Plan for the Church.” B. I heard about a church that recently began offering “gluten-free” bread for the Lord’s Supper. 1. It has been very well received, but its initial introduction didn’t go so well. 2. The first ...read more

    We live in a time where the Body of Christ must realize that WE are the hope for the future. The spirit of God dwells within us and we must take it to those who have no hope.

    Hope For The Future - I would like to speak this evening on a subject that of all subjects probably defines best what I see this ministry defined as. If somebody where to say, “David, could you very briefly tell me in a sentence what the impact of your ministry would be” it would be the essence ...read more

    What is the necessary, good thing in our relationship with Jesus?

    I have a problem - a problem with serving food. I always want the bigger portion - if I’m pouring drinks for Danielle and me - I’ll take the one that’s a bit more. If I’m plating food, I’ll put a bit more on my plate. Now, I know she eats less than I do - basically everyone in my house eats less ...read more

    The sermon urges believers to let go of bitterness and embrace kindness and forgiveness, allowing the Holy Spirit to transform hearts and relationships through Christlike love.

    Friends, welcome. Pull up a chair in your heart and take a deep breath. Some of us walked in with a smile on our face and a storm in our soul. Honest hearts would admit it: bitterness can linger like smoke after a kitchen fire. Wrath can simmer, anger can echo, and harsh words can hang in the air ...read more
