    Understanding Job’s Redeemer

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 24, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,257 views

    Because we live in a fallen world, there will be times in our life when we will have to endure trials and difficulty. Job went through such a time; however, he had Someone to stand in his defense. Job called Him his Redeemer.

    I want to share with you this evening a message from the book of Job. It is a message that gives hope to each of us who are struggling with sin, whether it be the consequences of sin in this life, or the consequences of sin that we must face in the Day of Judgment. In this life we suffer from sin ...read more

    Follow Me 2 Of 2

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 25, 2022
     | 1,138 views

    In a previous sermon I preached on the importance of following the right people.

    When Jesus was here on earth He stated on one occasion, "...FOLLOW ME, and I will make you fishers of men." It is interesting that the Bible not only records that He told these men to follow Him, but also it records that they were smart enough to obey. Look at Matt. 4:20, it states, ...read more

    A Legacy Through Mentoring

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 27, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,710 views

    It is difficult to cross generational lines; and yet, we are supposed to share the love of Christ with the next generation (Psalm 71:17-18). One way to minister to the succeeding generation effectively is through mentoring.

    When we become older we start pondering our spiritual heritage and faith in Jesus Christ, and we begin to wonder whether or not the succeeding generations will carry on what we have learned. So, we try to provide young people with exposure to our worship services, hoping that our values and ...read more

    What Ever Happened To Hell?

    Sometimes we hear about the “Endangered species” list. That is, there are certain kinds of birds, fish, animals, and insects that die and become few in numbers because of hunting or natural disasters.

    When this happens, they are placed on the “Endangered Species” list so that they will not become extinct. Once they are placed on this list, everything that is imaginable is done to preserve them. This is good, because if they were not placed on this list, soon these birds, fish, insects and ...read more

    Never Too Old To Serve

     | 9,653 views

    Maybe you happen to be reaching the age of retirement. You need to realize that accepting your age can lead to losing the best years of your life. Do not become inactive and resigned, but continue to serve the Lord's kingdom.

    Tyron Edwards stated, “Age does not depend upon years, but upon temperament and health. Some men are born old, and some never grow old.”(1) Sophia Loren said, “There is a fountain of youth: it is in your mind, your talents, and the creativity that you bring to your life and to the lives of the ...read more

    Show Me Your Glory

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,746 views

    When God chooses to open up the flood gates and rain down His showers of blessing, we usually don’t realize it until after we are completely drenched. This message brings encouragement to those who are facing trials and difficulties.

    This morning’s message is entitled, “Show Me Your Glory,” and I want us to look at God’s blessings today. I want to open by having us consider how the Lord’s blessings are similar to a jet aircraft flying at supersonic or near-sonic speeds. Did you ever hear a jet fly overhead and you looked ...read more

    Grace From Galatians (5-19)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 7, 2022
     | 2,141 views

    This far into the book of Galatians, I hope you have developed a fondness for this wonderful book.

    Those who have come from churches that taught legalism all their life have a greater appreciation for the book of Galatians than those who have been taught salvation by grace all their life. • Those who have been raised in the church all their life and came to know the Lord at an a age, do not ...read more

    Solitude Is Delicious

    There are moments when loneliness thankfully becomes solitude and solitude deliciously transforms into creativity. This was the divine purpose of God for my solitude!

    WILDERNESS – DAY 3 Matthew 3: “Now in those days John the Baptist *came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, saying, 2 "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."

    A Conversation With A Centurion

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 15, 2022
     | 2,252 views

    The Lord Jesus had many wonderful things about Him that we can’t help but admire.

    The Bible tells us that every day Jesus went about doing good. He did that in several ways, for example: • He healed the sick • He fed the hungry But he did something else that we overlook when we consider all the good things He did. HE TALKED WITH PEOPLE. But He not only talked to people, He ...read more

    What Kind Of Fool Are You?

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 18, 2022
     | 1,573 views

    Many of us have watched movies of wild animals on television. I enjoy watching them until they become vicious and start attacking and devouring each other.

    I guess when they get like this, it reminds me of many church members that I know. There are many mean people in the world, and at times we find some of them within the church. That is, they are unkind and vicious in the way they treat others! Illus: They remind me of the story of President ...read more

    What Kind Of Church Does God Want This Church To Be?

    I want to talk to you about God’s church. Folks have some strange ideas about the church.

    Illus: Did you hear about Cowboy Joe, who went to church for the first time? Cowboy Joe was telling his friend Charlie about his first visit to the big-city church. • He said, "When I got there, they had me park my old truck in the corral," Charlie said, "You mean the parking ...read more

    Ever seen a "Mizpah" necklace? It may not mean what you think it does!

    Introduction: Have you seen anyone wearing a “Mizpah” necklace recently? These items come and go in popularity and I frankly haven’t seen any of these in quite a while. But some time ago, these items were popular. They came as a pair of necklaces, and on each necklace there was a piece of a coin or ...read more

    Eclipse Of The Heart (March 27, 2022)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 23, 2022
     | 2,381 views

    This morning let us strive to look at this story from a different angle as we give weight to the bitterness and indifference of the elder brother. Today we will focus on the hungry heart and the alienated heart.

    ECLIPSE OF THE HEART Text: Luke 15:1 - 3, 11-32 Luke 15: 1 -3, 11- 32  Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming near to listen to him.  (2)  And the Pharisees and the scribes were grumbling and saying, "This fellow welcomes sinners and eats with them." ...read more

    Truth - A Bargain At Twice The Price Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 14, 2023
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,786 views

    Proverbs 23 says we should "buy truth." But you'd think "truth" was highly valued enough in society that you wouldn't have to be told to pay for it. Why would God advise us buy it?

    (I spent a couple years as a student at Purdue University, and this is one of the jokes I heard there) There were a couple of students - one from IU and one from Notre Dame - standing beside a flagpole discussing something. About that time, a student from Purdue walked over and asked “What ya ...read more

    There's only two options open to us...the narrow way which leads to eternal life, or the wide way which leads to eternal death. Heaven or hell. Which will it be?

    Mat 7:13-14 Do you know what any good preacher does when he begins to wind down his sermon? He tries to pull together everything he has already said and guide his audience to his ultimate goal of bringing them to a decision.
