    Preaching From Philippians #1

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 28, 2021
     | 2,150 views

    In Paul’s writings, his greetings varied from church to church. He made the greetings fit the church he was addressing and the things he wanted to talk about.

    For example, when he wrote to the Corinthians he stated that he was an Apostle in his greetings. Look at 1 Cor. 1:1 “Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother.” He did not mention that he was an Apostle in his address to the Philippians! He ...read more

    Spiritual Amnesia Leads To Apostasy

     | 3,066 views

    The title of this sermon may not make a bit of sense…but it is my sincere prayer before I complete this sermon it will make sense and you will understand the seriousness of SPIRITUAL AMNESIA THAT LEADS TO APOSTASY.

    I want to show you two things about AMNESIA AND APOSTASY. First, let us look at… I. AMNESIA WHAT IS AMNESIA? When a person has amnesia they forget some very important things in their life, such as… • They forget who their loved ones are...ISN’T THAT SAD! • Where they live… ISN’T THAT SAD! ...read more

    Kairos – Hearing From God Through Our Desires And People Series

    Are you willing to identify the desires of your heart and bring them to a trusted mature spiritual mentor/guide to help you hear the voice of God?

    Did you ever play that game where you asked the question, “What would you do if you won $1 million?" What would you do? I asked my dad that question when I was about 10 years old. He looked at me very seriously and said “Martin, if I won a million dollars I would go to work, stand in my chair ...read more

    Let God Do The Finger Pointing

    Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Aug 7, 2023
     | 2,122 views

    If finger pointing is impolite and it is so often connected to self-centered, sinful behavior why does God do it? God does this so that when sinners see their lost condition he can point them to the cross of his Son. There forgiveness is found. There salvation and eternal life are offered.

    “Finger pointing.” What thoughts do those two words bring to your mind? For the most part they are probably negative thoughts. At a very early age we are taught not to point at people. It’s considered impolite. As we get older we experience finger pointing in many different ways. If we had ...read more

    I give permission for this sermon to be used in its fullest for the glory of God. One of the most awesome things about eternity is that Jesus promises to reward everyone who overcomes with great rewards.

    Sermon # 7 - Obedience To Spiritual Authority Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Apr 19, 2024
     | 1,270 views

    Submission to God ordained authority and obedience to God are important principles we should follow in order to experience God’s amazing provision in our lives. Here are some great examples from the bible who will help us put this principle into practice in our own lives.

    Let us read 2 Corinthians 9:8, “Besides, God is able to make every blessing of yours overflow for you, so that in every situation you will always have all you need for any good work.” (ISV) As we continue to study the word ‘overflowing’ we realize that the scripture does not talk about this ...read more

    1 Timothy 1:6-11 teaches us how to use the law of God.

    Scripture About fifteen years after Paul planted the church in Ephesus, some elders, who wanted to style themselves after teachers of the law in Jewish synagogues, were teaching “myths and endless genealogies” (1 Timothy 1:4). This led to speculations and was causing misunderstanding and confusion ...read more

    During the betrayal and arrest of Jesus is the odd story of a man who was in a linen cloth whose garment was torn from him and he ran into the night naked. What’s THAT all about? This sermon tells us the story of a failure turned success named John Mark.

    It is an exciting time when a married couple decides to build a house for their family.

    Generally, before they take on a project like this, they study the proposed plans carefully because they want to make sure that every little detail is considered so that they will have a wonderful place to live the rest of their lives on this earth.

    Message 11 - 1 Thessalonians Chapter 5:15-17 – Vengeance, Rejoicing Always, And Praying Without Ceasing Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Dec 31, 2022
     | 2,478 views

    Do not seek vengeance on others or render evil to anyone. Injustice is everywhere but leave it in the Lord’s hands. Then we have the words “Pray without ceasing” and we look at a lot of references for that. We will consider joy and rejoicing as well.

    MESSAGE 11 - 1 THESSALONIANS CHAPTER 5:15-17 – VENGEANCE, REJOICING ALWAYS, AND PRAYING WITHOUT CEASING There is a fair bit of scripture in this message. It deals with vengeance, injustice, persecution and rejoicing and we look at a lot of verses dealing with those matters. PART 1 ...read more

    See Jesus Defeat The Devil

    Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Mar 7, 2022
     | 2,221 views

    Because Christ fought the battle against Satan as one of us, he won that battle for all of us. Jesus is our perfect substitute. Even as the devil rages against us, we can face him and his temptations unafraid, confident that our champion, Jesus, has already won the victory over him.

    David versus Goliath. Thousands of years after their brief battle it is still used to describe conflicts. You have probably heard the comparison several times in recent days following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Clearly Russia is Goliath and Ukraine David. But don’t we also regularly hear the ...read more
