    Preaching From Philippians #2

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 28, 2021
     | 1,470 views

    One of the reasons that it is a sin for Christians to take drugs or drink alcoholic beverages is because these are substances that control our behavior.

    These are things that will ruin our lives and cause us to make fools out of ourselves. There is no way that a Christian can be controlled by the Holy Spirit if they are controlled by these substances. But these are not the only things that control Christians. For example, there are many ...read more

    In this second message on the weakest link we find out that there are diseases of the tongue that must be healed in order to have a strong faith walk.

We saw that their failure to mix faith with the promises of God kept them ...read more

    Somebody said, I wish I could have lived in the days of the apostles. Well, we are living in apostolic days right now. Now, the question is... will we live like the apostles lived?

    Have you ever thought to yourself, I wish we were living in the days of the apostles? And then you think to yourself.

    based on 5 ratings
     | 21,746 views

    The sermon seeks to challenge believers to break out of their shells by becoming more Christ-centred and focus on the Kingdom. It is an attempt to try to correct the imbalance in seeking God's kingdom benefits only without wanting to do the right things.

    When there is a need for expansion (enlargement, explosion, increment, prosperity, moving to the next level, promotion, advancement, progress, uplifting, success, magnification, addition, augmentation, amplification, elevation and excellence) but constriction is a challenge, then its time to break ...read more

    Once we cast a vision and begin laying hold of the Promised Land, we need to watch out for deceptive people; those who creep into the fold to snatch away our vision, and plunder our hard-earned spoils in an act of spiritual piracy.

    Once we cast a vision and begin laying hold of the Promised Land, we need to watch out for dream catchers! Now, when I speak of dream catchers, I am not referring to the round wooden frame resembling a spider’s web, which was handcrafted by the Ojibwa tribe of Native Americans for the purpose of ...read more

    Preaching From Philippians #6

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 28, 2021
     | 1,310 views

    In this passage of scripture, Paul talks to the Philippian Christians about salvation. That may seem strange because these people said they were Believers.

    A good pastor deals with the subject of salvation for two reasons: (1) He knows it is a possibility that many are deceived about their salvation. The Lord Himself dealt with this deception in Matthew 7:22-23, we read, “Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy ...read more
