     | 1,629 views

    It isn’t Jesus’ job to calm our storms, but to calm our hearts so that we can face the storms with confidence and courage.

    I just came back from attending my first General Assembly. It is sort of a cross between a political convention and a session of Congress. Commissioners are called together every year from all over the country to do the business of the church, and their decisions are expected to embody the ...read more

    Peter had never seen a catch of fish like that before! If we have Jesus in our boat, we're going to need to get a bigger Faith for harvest, a bigger Grace for trials, a bigger Vision & a bigger Obedience to see God's will done!

    WE’RE GOING TO NEED A BIGGER BOAT! Luke 5:4-7 INTRODUCTION A. OPENER: THE SIZE OF GOD 1.

    If people are to be saved, it is absolutely essential that they hear the Bible, the Word of God.

    LOVE THE WORD, LEARN THE WORD, LIVE THE WORD TEXT: Matthew 22:36-40 Introduction: Jesus answered this question with finality. He was referring back to Deuteronomy 6:4-5, where Moses reminded the Israelites of what God had said – but more than just, “said,” He gave a “Commandment,” that we, His ...read more

    Jesus calls us to hate those we are supposed to love. How? Why? Find out.

    9.4.22 Luke 14:25–35 25 Large crowds were traveling with Jesus.

    Thy Word I Have Hidden In My Heart Series

    Psalm 119 isn’t blasé about God’s commandments. Psalm 119 isn’t neural about God’s precepts. Psalm 119 loves and adores the law of God!

    Psalm 119 is the longest chapter in all of your Bibles. Now, the longest chapter in your Bible is devoted to how important the Bible is to our lives. Even though the Bible is really valuable, the words and wisdom of the Bible are objectionable to so many people. Banning the Bible The Bible is ...read more

    Here we meet a fantastic group of men demonstrating the components of triumphant Christianity. They are uncompromising, unflinching, undaunted, and undefeated. If there was ever a time in history when the Church needs to be obsessively triumphant in Christ and overcome the world, it is today.

     | 2,209 views

    The call of Jeremiah has challenges for us and we look at them. Abortion and the unborn are examined from God's perspective. How many sit down and laboriously draft and redraft some message straining to “polish” some sermon. Just speak what God has given!

    Scripture During this Season of Advent, we have been looking at “Christ’s Advent in the Psalms.” Today I want to conclude our study by looking at Psalm 147.

    Preaching From Philippians #1

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 28, 2021
     | 2,166 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
