Sermons on No More Sorrow:

…the Good Hand Of His God Upon Him

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 9, 2021

Today in this sermon, we want to turn our attention to a very special man. His name is Ezra. He is one of those fellows you do not hear a great deal about, but yet he was a giant among men in the spiritual world.

Ezra was a priest, but he was not able to serve in the temple because the temple had been destroyed. This could be why we do not hear a lot about Ezra. He was not a temple priest. Ezra is noted for other things, such as: • He studied the Word of God. In Ezra 7:6, we read that he was, “A ready ...read more

The Gift Of The Sanctifying Savior Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Dec 12, 2021

Jesus was sent to "sanctify" us. What does that mean and what difference can it make in your life?

In Luke we’re told that the Shepherds went to Bethlehem to see the baby Jesus. But back in 1999, someone not only went to see the baby Jesus… they took him home.

Honored By God Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 15, 2021

All of us like to claim the promises of God for our lives, but oftentimes we fail to do all that God expects of us. There are two groups of people in this world, one group who honor God by giving Him the topmost priority in their lives and the other group who go to Him only when in trouble.

Psalm 91 - Study 38 - Honored by God We read in Psalm 91:15,“When he calls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him.” (ESV) In this message we will study the last part of the above verse which talks about the fact that God not only rescues us, but ...read more

Lost Sheep And Lost Coin

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 21, 2021

This parable is special, because it tells us a great deal about God the Father’s great love for mankind.

Now we mortals love certain people, but if there are things in their life that we do not like, we generally brush them aside. We all can be thankful indeed that God the Father loves everyone, He even loves the most ungodly sinner on the face of the earth. He does not love their evil deeds, but He ...read more

He That Winneth Souls Is Wise

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 21, 2021

One of the things the devil has been very successful at, is getting the church completely sidetracked from the mission God intended the church to do.

To see that this is the case, all you have to do is observe what people seem to want from the church. For example, some see the church as: • A drug center to reach an emotional high. They get depressed and they want to come to church for a “Fix” • A social club where they can socialize with ...read more

The Paradox Of Pride Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 19, 2021

Man is in a strange predicament, caught between his own dignity and depravity; his own worth, and his wickedness. The result is another great paradox of life. Man's self-love is both an evil and a good.

Some people, probably most people, and maybe all people have to learn how to be humble the hard way, and that is the humpty dumpty way of having a great fall. This was the case with Max Eastman.

Fatalism Or Faith Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 20, 2021

America is Christian in its thinking in that we are a nation that says folly does not need to be repeated. We can learn from our mistakes and go on to change the future for the better and prevent tragedies that otherwise would be inevitable.

When Something Is Nothing Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 23, 2021

Man's self-love is both an evil and a good. It is both an essential for a happy life in God's will, and the main cause for most evil that is out of God's will.

Fear Or Faith Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 27, 2021

The unknown can stimulate either fear or faith, courage or cowardice. By the authority of Jesus the Christian is to choose faith, even in the face of negative evidence.

The Golden Gate Bridge in California got way behind schedule when it was being built. There were so many casualties, and the men were afraid of falling off.

That is actually the message we need to hear today: - is we need to believe - not that a coin is real and valuable - but that God is real, powerful and loves us

God's Word Is Perfect Series

Contributed by Paul Robinson on Oct 4, 2022

Everything in life has flaws, that is, everything except the Bible! God's Word is perfect for three distinct reasons, and these reasons will change the way you look at your Bible.

God’s Word is perfect because its author is perfect. Deut. 32:4-- “He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.” Like a rock, God is firm and immovable. His work has always been perfect, from the very beginning of ...read more
