Preach The Word -- Which One? 1 Of 2

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 7, 2022

Paul’s exhortation to Timothy was, “Preach the Word...” This same exhortation is given to pastors today.

However, if they are going to preach the Word of God today, they have to make a judgment as to which one of the many Bibles available is actually God’s Word. If all the translations, versions, revisions, and paraphrases taught the same thing, there would be no controversy, BUT THEY DO NOT! ...read more

Preach The Word -- Which One? 2 Of 2

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 7, 2022

Again, let me say, without apology, that I believe this King James Bible that I hold in my hands is the inspired, inerrant Word of God for English-speaking people.

I do not believe translators are “inspired.” I do believe the “holy men” that God used, who wrote the original text, were inspired to write those precious truths God breathed through them. • It is hard for me to conceive that God would command a man to PREACH THE WORD, when there was no Word He ...read more

A Sermon I’ve Never Wanted To Preach

Contributed by John Newton on Aug 8, 2022

There are few (if any!) passages in the Bible more challenging than Hebrews 10:26-31...

Aside from Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, I wonder if anyone here this morning can tell me what may have been the most famous sermon ever preached… I don’t have any statistics to back me up, but I am certain that one of the top contenders has to be a sermon delivered to a congregation in Enfield, ...read more

Preach The Word Of God (2 Timothy 4)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on May 13, 2024

What do we want to hear preached, stories, empty headed fluff, or the Word of God? Let's examine this in 2 Timothy 4.

What should a preacher preach, topics, stories, human traditions, philosophy, reasons for people to doubt, or the word of God? Will people tolerate sound teaching?

The Nugget Of Truth Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Nov 13, 2005

What are some modern day ways that we can fall into the same error as the Hebrews? Also - carving down to the nugget of God’s truth - and - letting the Spirit live out the Law of God in our lives.

How do you sum up a letter like Hebrews? I see two ways that the author takes this chapter to make his final points to a people who were afraid to leave Judaism behind and fully plant their feet in Jesus. His first point is that they are not really leaving all they knew behind - but they will see ...read more
