    "o Lord, Revive Thy Work"

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 3, 2022
     | 3,977 views

    All over this great country of ours, CHURCHES have revival services each year. Many of these churches schedule them in the FALL and in the SPRING of the year.

    While it is good that churches schedule these services frequently, it is equally good that they recognize that before a church can experience a HOLY GHOST REVIVAL MEETING, they must know WHAT A REAL HOLY GHOST REVIVAL IS. A Holy Ghost Revival consist of at least three things, such as: 1. It is a ...read more

    Fear Of Almighty God

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 4, 2022
     | 2,345 views

    In this sermon, I want to talk to you about something that is missing in almost every church.

    WHAT IS THAT? I am talking about the FEAR OF GOD. We live in a world today that seems to have lost all fear of God. (1) THE SINNERS DO NOT FEAR GOD You will find among the young and the old, that sinners do not fear God. This is why: • The SCHOOLS of this nation are in the mess they are in • ...read more

    Provoking Thoughts From 1 John (5 Of 16)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 10, 2022
     | 1,484 views

    In a previous sermon we dealt with what John had to say about how we can KNOW that WE KNOW THE LORD.

    We discovered that anyone can say that they know the Lord...anyone! All one has to say is, “I know the Lord.” John used the word, “saith,” numerous times. He referred to it in: • 1 John 2:4. He said, “HE THAT SAITH, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not ...read more

    Acts Of The Apostles # 28 - 39

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022
     | 1,460 views

    Few, if any of us have experienced revival as the apostle Paul experienced in Ephesus.

    These new converts, that had been raised up worshipping the goddess Diana with all the magic formulas and superstitions, had truly been converted. They revealed this by the fact that they turned from all this false worship and burned the items that had anything to do with it, in a public place ...read more

    Acts Of The Apostles (11 Of 39)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022
     | 1,469 views

    Chapters 6 and 7, told us how God used the great deacon, Stephen, and how he gave his life for the gospel.

    Now we are going to study about how that affected the church. When some people who belong to church die, it does not have much of an impact on God's work, because they did not love the Lord, or His church. But when a man like Stephen dies, it leaves a vacuum for some time. Look at verse ...read more

    Staying Upbeat When You Are Being Beaten Up!

    Everyone has troubles. Some are better than others at covering their troubles up, but I can assure you that everyone has troubles.

    The Armor Of God 6 Of 8

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 24, 2022
     | 2,362 views

    So often when preachers preach on the armor of God they will deal with one certain piece of the armor, but not the whole armor of God. This kind of preaching needs to be done with caution.

    Why? Because anytime we preach on the armor of God, we need to stress what this passage of Scripture is stressing, that is, we need to put on the WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD, not just a particular piece. The fact is, if we do not put on the whole armor of God, we might as well not put any on. Why? Because ...read more

    Keep Me From Hell Series

     | 3,028 views

    Jesus saw all of you and still wanted you. He experienced hell on the cross. He didn’t even let hell keep Him from you.

    This morning we start a short two-week sermon series devoted to the Bible’s picture of the afterlife. Christianity places a powerful emphasis on the world to come. I want to encourage all of you to think deeply about your eternity. Find Romans 2 and John 3 in your Bibles. I want to examine five ...read more

    How to love.

    “It’s that Simple. It’s that Complicated” John 13:1-5, 12-15, 34-35 Have you ever taken a moment to think about how totally profound this encounter is between Jesus and His disciples on the night that Jesus was betrayed?

    The mercy of God is needed by all to be successful in life. It can not be earned, but given to men according to the will of God. There are things can position us in the direction of the mercy of God.

    THE WONDERS OF GOD’S MERCY Study Text: Romans 9: 9 - 16 Introduction: - Naturally, the journey of life is too cumbersome and very difficult to predict.

    Judgment According To Truth

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Jul 10, 2021

    God will judge mankind. There will be no need for lawyers; God does not need to listen to crooked defense strategies. There will be no need for remembering what actually happened; God is omniscient and omnipresent.

    Alba 7-11-2021 JUDGMENT ACCORDING TO TRUTH Romans 2:1-11 Someone once quipped that the definition of a jury is: “Twelve people chosen to decide who has the best lawyer.” With the current state of litigation in America, it’s no wonder that people are openly skeptical about truth and justice in our ...read more

    Joseph: An Example Of Salvation Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jul 17, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,764 views

    Joseph, serving as Jesus’ earthly father figure, was an exemplary father. He was not only an excellent role model for his son, but within Joseph lies a certain character trait, which just happens to be Jesus’ strongest attribute.

    The Christian singer Michael Card wrote a piece entitled Joseph’s Song. To begin this morning, I am going to read a few lines from this song. Listen closely, and from what you know about Joseph from the Bible, think about whether these words could have come from Joseph’s own heart: Lord I know ...read more

    Be Ready To Receive Help Series

    Jesus received people according to how they were convicted to serve Him. However, we as human beings often miss the bigger picture, and forfeit opportunities to assist people in being used by God to further the kingdom.

    I want to begin by sharing something from the apostle Paul. Paul, in speaking about what a person should give to the church in the way of monetary offerings; he once stated, “For if there is first a willing mind, it is accepted according to what one has, and not according to what he does not have” ...read more
