Silent Solitude

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jan 3, 2021

Job 3:26, "I have no peace, no quietness; I have no rest, but only turmoil.” Do you share Job's sentiment? To say this past year has been stressful is an understatement. As we begin our new year, maybe it's time to incorporate some silent solitude into our daily regimen.

SILENT SOLITUDE Peace and quiet. How many times have you wished for that? How many times have you tried to get it but were unsuccessful? Maybe you share Job's sentiment. Job 3:26, "I have no peace, no quietness; I have no rest, but only turmoil.” We can understand why Job would say this. ...read more

Lesson Of The Loaves

Contributed by Grant Adams on Jan 24, 2021

Jesus often uses the common things of our life to teach us some of the most valuable lessons. John 10; I am the door; John 15; I am the vine and ye are the branches. In this passage of scriptures, Jesus is giving a lesson and then proctoring an exam

Let’s read verses 34-52. In some ways this is a mystery. What connection should the loaves have with the ship? When they were in the ship, the wind was blowing contrary to the way they were trying to go. I wonder if you have ever been in that spot. 1. You have your goals set, a place where you feel ...read more

"What Time I Am Afraid, I Will Trust In Thee.”

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 26, 2022

This is one of my favorite scriptures in the Bible, “What time I am afraid I will trust in thee.”

I looked back into my archives and saw where I preached from this same verse in 2013. We do not like to talk about our fears because they make us look weak, but everyone live with fear. However, it is not just the weak that live in fear, some great men live in fear. Illus: God said of Job’s ...read more

A Lesson In Faith By Way Of The Sea

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Jun 1, 2021

They were scared about what was about to happen to them. In the narrative, they did not call out to the LORD or to ...read more

Facing The Storm Of Fear

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 9, 2021

In 1999, Hurricane Floyd appeared on the radar screen as it approached the shores of Florida. Governor Jeb Bush described it as a “Monster of a storm”, that was coming in their direction, and they really did not know how to deal with it.

One of the things that made this such a dreadful storm was that it had strong winds, and it was over three hundred miles wide. Florida was blessed, because it came up to the coast line and made a turn. When South Carolina was told to “Watch out”, because the storm was heading in their direction, ...read more
