     | 2,234 views

    Message 12 in a series through James that helps us explore the relationship between faith and works in our lives. James was the half-brother of Jesus and the leader of the church in Jerusalem.

    There is a phrase we often use in our culture – we saved the best for last. I don’t know if the last part of James 5 is the BEST section because it is hard to measure that quantifiably. But one I can say for certain is that it is no doubt one of the most debated sections of the book of James and ...read more

    This Could Be The Year (2026) Of The Lord’s Coming

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 31, 2025
     | 844 views

    I title this sermon “This Could Be the Year of The Lord’s Coming.” Please notice, I did not foolishly say “This would be the year the Lord is coming back for His church.” But I did say, This Could Be the Year of The Lord’s coming back for His Church.

    Text: The Bible tells us in Matthew 24:36, “But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.” But it is obvious today that the lost world is not looking for Christ to return anytime soon. HOW DO WE KNOW THAT? Because they would not be living like ...read more

    When things are going right for us, generally we all react basically the same way. We smile and enjoy the GOOD TIMES.

    When someone asks us how things are going, we smile and say, “GREAT!” How we are different from one another is often revealed not during our GOOD TIMES, but during the HARD TIMES! One thing we all seem to do during HARD TIMES is turn to our friends for some sound advice. Often what we get ...read more
