Sermons on Love Vs Failure:

A Blessing In Disguise

Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Feb 19, 2024

I wonder if a person truly understands what it means when they respond, “I’m blessed.” There are two types of blessings: worldly blessings and spiritual blessings.

TITLE: A BLESSING IN DISGUISE SCRIPTURE: II CHRONICLES 20:24-30 Oftentimes when we greet one another and ask - ‘how are you’ the response we receive is ‘I’m Blessed.’ Very often we think having a blessed week means that things went well with us, no one got sick in the family - bills were paid ...read more

What Wilt Thou Have Me To Do?

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 7, 2022

After his conversion, the Apostle Paul did something every child of God should do after their conversion.

Look at Acts 9:6, we read, “And he trembling and astonished said, LORD, WHAT WILT THOU HAVE ME TO DO? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.” Paul asked WHAT GOD WOULD HAVE HIM TO DO, and the Lord told him, “…Arise, and go into the ...read more

Glorify God In Your Body

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 7, 2022

We preachers are always telling Christians they are to glorify God.

Many times we do not make it clear how they are to glorify God in their bodies, because we assume they know some things they do not know. Illus: This reminds us of the story of the Air Traffic Controller who was directing some pilots in to land. • One of the pilots called this air traffic ...read more

Excusing Excuses

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 7, 2022

We meet some strange people in the world in which we live. I guess what is really strange about life is that we think everyone is strange but us.

Illus: There was a young Scottish boy called Angus, who decided to try life in Australia. He found an apartment in a small block and settled in. After a week or two, his mother called from Aberdeen to see how her son was doing in his new life. Angus said, “I'm fine! But there are some ...read more

"Be Ye Angry…”

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 8, 2022

In this sermon we will consider something we SHOULD HAVE and SHOULD NOT HAVE! We will consider ANGER!

There are many things in life that someone can say to us to make us angry. Illus: I think about the teacher who became very angry at something her student had said. The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying to persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture. She ...read more

He Taught Them Many Parables… (The Doctor And The Sick) # 23

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022

At times, we all feel like we are misunderstood. And many times it is not a feeling, it is a reality.

For example, sometimes our dogs misunderstand some things about us. Someone suggested these are some of the misunderstandings our pet dogs have... • Getting up does NOT mean we are going for a walk • Just because I'm eating, doesn't mean you can But not only do we have misunderstandings ...read more

He Taught Them Many Parables… (The Closed Door) # 17

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022

Notice, the Bible says in verse 22, “And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem.”

In this verse of Scripture we find the Lord had two goals as He was traveling to Jerusalem. (1) His ultimate goal was to go to Jerusalem where He would die for the sins of mankind. Luke told us that in Luke 9:51. We read, “And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, ...read more

Don’t Assume To Assume

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 26, 2022

One of the biggest ways to get ourselves in trouble in this life is to live a life of assumption.

I must confess as I preach this sermon to you that I am guilty of doing just that often. Illus: I am like the man who says: • People say I make too many assumptions. • I mean, they don't say it, but I know they're thinking it... But this is not something I am guilty alone, I think we ...read more

The Gospel Of Might Series

Contributed by Jim Butcher on May 4, 2022

The arrest of Jesus puts a spotlight on the "Gospel of Might" versus the "Gospel of Jesus." What are the differences? And how does the backward stumbling that's described there sum it all up?

THE GOSPEL OF MIGHT: By all outward indications, Jesus is in a losing situation. - John 18:1-11. - Pieces of this outward situation: a. Jesus has a betrayer with inside information. - John 18:2. b. Jesus is in an enclosed area. - John 18:1. - It’s an olive grove and they went “into it,” so ...read more
