  • Jacob-His "Mizpah” Moment Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Mar 19, 2022
     | 4,074 views

    Ever seen a "Mizpah" necklace? It may not mean what you think it does!

    Introduction: Have you seen anyone wearing a “Mizpah” necklace recently? These items come and go in popularity and I frankly haven’t seen any of these in quite a while. But some time ago, these items were popular. They came as a pair of necklaces, and on each necklace there was a piece of a coin or ...read more

  • Sunday Morning Religion

     | 3,761 views

    You can ride by most churches and they have a church sign outside telling the public what time their church services start.

    But I have a problem with some churches posting on their church signs they worship God between 11 to 12 . According to the Word of God this is somewhat misleading! HOW IS IT MISLEADING? It implies we worship the Lord one hour a week and this is not what the Bible teaches we christians should be ...read more

  • Trust And Obey (2 Of 2)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 22, 2022
     | 1,975 views

    This morning we looked at something we talk, teach, preach and sing about, that is, “TRUST AND OBEY!”

    We dealt with the TRUST this morning, but this evening we would like to deal with the OBEY part of that song. Something that Peter and the early disciples understood that today’s church does not understand, is that WE CHRISTIANS ARE TO OBEY GOD. They understood that you obeyed God: • When it was ...read more

  • Consider Your Ways

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 25, 2022
     | 2,813 views

    I would like us to focus in on verse 7. We read, "Thus saith the lord of hosts; CONSIDER YOUR WAYS."

    The prophet Haggai had a message from God that he was to give unto the people of God. Notice, he wanted them to know how important this message was by introducing the message by saying, “Thus saith the Lord of hosts…” before he gave the message. In other words, he wanted them to know what he was ...read more

  • One Accord

     | 7,280 views

    As a pastor I find this verse of scripture amazing. Why? Because this verse tells us two amazing things: the New Testament church was in ONE ACCORD in ONE PLACE.

    Accomplishing either one of these would be marvelous, but to accomplish both is astounding. Illus: Occasionally, many churches have a “NO EXCUSE SUNDAY,” trying to get everyone to attend. Before this Sunday arrives, they send out newsletters from the church, stating: • Cots will be placed in the ...read more

  • Who Let The Dogs Out?

    Perhaps you are familiar with NBC’s television show called, “Deal or No Deal!” Howie Mandel is the host.

    He puts before the contestants many brief cases that contain certain amounts of money, and many times throughout the program he asks the contestant, “Deal or no Deal?” What this show so often reveals is that many are willing to deal with the host of the program, but they do not always get what ...read more

  • The Book Of Mark #57

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 30, 2022
     | 1,396 views

    In 1858, the Illinois legislature, using an obscure statute, sent Stephen A. Douglas to the U.S. Senate instead of Abraham Lincoln, although Lincoln had won the popular vote.

    When a sympathetic friend asked Lincoln how he felt, he said he felt, “Like the boy who stubbed his toe: I am too big to cry and too badly hurt to laugh.” (Source unknown) All of us know that feeling. Life is filled with disappointments. Most of us will do anything to keep from having ...read more

  • He That Winneth Souls Is Wise No. 15

     | 1,312 views

    Years ago the Hallmark Card Company used to advertise extensively on television.

    They would show samples of the beautiful cards they produce and close each commercial with these words for potential buyers to consider, "When you CARE enough to send the VERY BEST!" The message was clear, even to children, that if you really CARED for someone you would be willing to ...read more

  • Fruit Of The Spirit # 2a

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 1, 2022
     | 1,301 views

    When you look at churches, you will see that there is a vast difference between them.

    One thing you will find common in most churches it that there is one basic thing missing. WHAT IS MISSING? Illus: Let me explain what is missing by telling you a story of a young boy who went to spend the week with his grandfather on the farm. • While walking around he noticed the chickens. They ...read more

    We want to look again at the position of the church today.

    God has called THE CHURCH TO REACH THE LOST. • There is no shortage of Church buildings today • There is a tremendous shortage of CHRISTIANS WHO ARE TRYING TO REACH THE LOST The Word of God says, in Matthew 9:37, “… The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few.” Illus: Several years ...read more

  • Leaving A Place

     | 2,142 views

    In Genesis 12 and 13 we learn two valuable lessons.

    • In Genesis 12:10-20, Abraham is seen leaving Canaan (The Promised Land) during A TIME OF FAMINE to go to Egypt (a picture of the world). • In Genesis 13 we see Abraham recognizing his mistake of going to Egypt, and returning back to Canaan land. It was a big mistake for Abraham to leave Canaan ...read more

  • Dealing With Division Series

     | 4,272 views

    When people are bound together with a common goal and purpose they are able to get along and work with one another; however, when intentions are unclear and people are lacking direction, they will often begin fighting each other.

    The Israelites, in conquest of Canaan, were united in purging the land. They had a purpose that brought them together. However, when they started settling down, then disagreements began erupting. When people are bound together with a common goal in mind and fighting for the same thing, they are ...read more
