Elijah's Crisis

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Dec 1, 2020

The pandemic seems to go on forever. Instead of getting better, Covid is getting worse. Many are becoming discouraged and depressed because of lockdowns and other guidelines that give us limited mobility.

Note: I developed a simple set of homemade PowerPoint slides that I used in presenting this sermon. They're not fancy or professional quality, and for this sermon there were only as small number of slides (most of which are maps), but if you're interested in having the PowerPoint file I ...read more

Do You Know The God Of The Bible (God Is Omnipresent) 2 Of 3

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jul 24, 2024

A lot of times if you are like me, you may assume things that we should not assume until we get all the facts.

That is, we do not know all the facts about a certain situation and so we assume something that later proves to be an inaccurate assumption. Let me illustrate… Illus: This was an actual news story from a San Diego newspaper! (The actual AP headline was WANTED FOR ATTEMPTED MURDER) The story goes ...read more

Spiritual Milk Or A Thanksgiving Feast Series

Contributed by Perry Fowler on Nov 16, 2023

On Thanksgiving day which do you prefer? Milk or a Thanksgiving feast? The writer of Hebrews has a candid conversation with those who were spiritually missing out on the best instead of Spiritual meat- they were on Spiritual milk. How do we do the opposite?

When we think of Thanksgiving we often think of food. While we all know that Turkey is the top food for the Thanksgiving meal in America; the favorite side dishes vary. Yet, this week I did a little study to see which side dishes are America’s favorite. Are you ready for this? 1. Stuffing; of ...read more

The Laws Of Almighty God (2 Of 5)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Sep 5, 2024

This is the second message in this series on The Laws of Almighty God. The one thing we learned in the first sermon in this series is that a law is a proven fact, which works EVERY TIME for EVERY ONE!

Such is the case with the scientific LAW OF GRAVITY. For the law of gravity says, “What goes up must come down.” It does not matter who throws something up in the air, the law of gravity says the results will be the same every time for everyone. If this was not true, then the law of gravity ...read more
