    Grace From Galatians (12 Of 19)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 8, 2022
     | 1,988 views

    This is Paul’s fourth appeal to try to get them to come to their senses.

    As we have seen, Paul does not understand why these backsliding Galatian Christians wanted to return to the bondage of the law. In this appeal, he seems to appeal to their common sense, something that many in this country seem to have lost. Illus: I saw this sad announcement and thought about ...read more

    Provoking Thoughts From 1 John (2 Of 16)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 10, 2022
     | 1,331 views

    In the first sermon it was mentioned that in order to understand the books of 1, 2, and 3 John, we first needed to understand some things about the place John wrote from, Ephesus.

    Because this is essential, I would like to refresh your memory before we get into the heart of this sermon. We dealt with these FOUR things about the Ephesian Christians: (1) THEIR HERITAGE. They were second and third generation Christians. Their parents and grandparents had been in the ...read more

    "Peter, Feed My Sheep” (16 Of 21)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 11, 2022
     | 1,162 views

    As we were growing up, many of our parents tried to warn us about dangers that we faced, but we could not see them until later in life.

    As the children of God, we used to wonder what the Word of God was warning us about in Matthew 24:22-23. We read, “And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is ...read more

    "Peter, Feed My Sheep” (19 Of 20)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 11, 2022
     | 1,667 views

    In this passage, Peter continues to deal with the opposition that faced Christians, and that still faces us today.

    Illus: This passage reminds me of the story of the fellow that went to the doctor. The doctor examined him closely, and told the patient, "I have some bad news and also some real bad news to tell you. But before I can tell you the bad news and the very bad news, you will first have to pay ...read more

    I Give You This Land, Even More I Give This Land To Your Children. Series

    Contributed by Amiri Hooker on Mar 11, 2022
     | 3,300 views

    When God adds a promise of land to Abram’s “seed” promise (Genesis 12:7), we think that Abram is goanna be great. The story doesn’t end there. God turns from the promise of descendants to the possession of land.

    Sermon, I Give You This Land, Even More, I give this land to Your Children. The story of God and Abram starts when God commands Abram to migrate to Canaan. God offers Abram magnanimous promises: he will be a great nation; he will have a great name; God will bless people who bless him and curse the ...read more

    Lot – Part 2 – A Lot Of Trouble For God – For Abraham – And For Himself – Genesis 13 – 14 - Lot In Sodom Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 13, 2022
     | 1,744 views

    Wilfulness is sin on a mission and Lot edged closer and closer. The world holds attractions for people, like the fishing spider that dangles a blob on the end of strands of web to allure its victims and pounces. Sodom was alluring Lot and about to pounce.

    LOT – PART 2 – A LOT OF TROUBLE FOR GOD – FOR ABRAHAM – AND FOR HIMSELF – GENESIS 13 – 14 - LOT IN SODOM INTRODUCTION We take up this account from where we left off last time. Because of the strife between the herdsmen of Lot and Abram they had to separate. Abram and Lot had separated with Lot ...read more

    Amos 5:18-27 shows us that nominal religion provides no hope for the present or eternity.

    Introduction Commentator Gordon Keddie tells the story of two men who were discussing the whys and wherefores of the biblical “millennium” mentioned in Revelation 20:4. Which of the three classic interpretations of this period was correct? Was it premillennialism, postmillennialism, or ...read more

    In Luke 17:11-19 we read about ten men who were healed by Jesus of their leprosy. Out of those ten men only one came back to give thanks. Here's the story.

    Let It Shine Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 24, 2022
     | 1,517 views

    We’re supposed to be light in the world, but not strobe lights or spotlights. We are meant to be little lights - but we are called on to shine. In so much darkness, that’s all that is needed.

    When you were little, did you ever stick a flashlight in your mouth and turn it on? It looked pretty weird, didn’t it. For more weird, there was also a contest for who could make the most horrible grotesque face, you know, the kind that would cause your mother to warn you that if you didn’t ...read more

    Can we recognize God's gifts for what they are?

    Have you ever made a bargain with God? Have you ever said, “God, just get me out of this and I’ll never ask for anything again!” Or “God, if you help me pass this test I’ll come to church every Sunday for a year!” Or “God, if you get me this job I’ll never call in sick again!” If you have, you’re ...read more

    Any speech which is intended to mislead or deceive is offensive to God, whether or not you are under oath.

    I’ve been wracking my brains trying to find a lead-in to this week’s commandment without talking about things like political correctness and hate speech, fake news and cancel culture. Things like misinformation, disinformation and media bias. But the subject keeps popping up. Things like the ...read more

    The Ministry Of The Holy Spirit Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Dec 4, 2022
     | 8,203 views

    We want to look at the Holy Spirit in context to our overall Biblical study of God. We keep in mind that Holy, creator God is One. We also keep in mind that there is one God in three-person, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

    The highway department hired a new painter to paint the lines on the road. The first day on the job he painted lines on a five mile stretch of road and he was the talk of the department. The next day he did well again, but this time only two and a half miles. Still, it was very good. On the ...read more

    Am I The Innkeeper?

    Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 20, 2019
     | 6,544 views

    We take a candid look at our role as Innkeepers, the major excuses for turning Christ away, and the final journey we will all make to the Heavenly Inn. Will He be forced to turn us away because we wouldn't let Him in?

    AM I THE INNKEEPER? Luke 2:1, 4-7 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: WHEN JOSEPH WENT ROGUE 1.
