The Thessalonians # 15a (1 Of 2)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 6, 2022

This is the last chapter of Paul’s letter to the Christians that he loved and respected at Thessalonica.

As far as we know, this was the last time Paul communicated with them. You can sense the love he had for them as you read this last chapter he wrote to them. There are many things that take place in a church that are not obvious, but one thing should be obvious to all, and that is the love God’s ...read more

Rock Piles

Contributed by Bobby Brewer on May 21, 2023

Before returning to Galilee, Jesus goes back to the Temple grounds where He’s presented with a woman who’s been caught in the act of adultery. It's a seemingly lose-lose scenario for not only the woman but also Jesus.

But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2 Early in the morning He came again to the temple. All the people came to him, and he sat down and taught them. 3 The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery, and placing her in the midst 4 they said to Him, “Teacher, this ...read more

She Called Him Ichabod!!! (Mother’s Day Sermon)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 18, 2022

This is a special day set aside to honor our mothers, and grandmothers, because we love them so deeply.

Often a mother’s assignment in life is very difficult. Now if anything negative can be said about mothers, it would be about the names they give their children. I personally think they should pass a law that allows a child that reaches the age of 10 or 12, to have a chance to select the name that ...read more

Content And Container Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 26, 2022

This message looks at the cup (container) and the wine (content). The wine is still wine, no matter what container it’s in. Today's culture has a new cup; yet the content (gospel message) in the container can still be the same.

How many of you have a favorite glass that you prefer to drink out of? I do. For example, when I drink coffee I like to have a really big cup. My wife, on the other hand, likes to have a little dainty china cup, with a handle just big enough to fit her finger through. Ask either one of us to ...read more

Defined By Your Job?

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 17, 2022

Making work our priority can become a problem in our relationship with God and with our family. It can also develop into an issue with our self-worth should we ever experience problems in the workplace or the loss of a job.

Our Commitment And Our Constraint

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 16, 2021

In Romans 13:1-7, Paul discussed how we as Christians are to SUBMIT to the "higher powers" that are placed over us.

Illus: One case in point is the legalization of abortion. According to the laws in most of our states, ...read more
