    Funeral Service #1

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 1, 2022
     | 5,569 views

    This Funeral Message is suitable for a man/woman who got saved late in life. Perhaps a man or woman who was saved by the grace of God, but didn’t have a lot of time to grow in the grace of God and mature.

    Many of us can remember a time in our life, when on a dark night, we stood outside and looked up into the sky, and saw literally millions of stars. They were beautiful; they looked like diamonds on black velvet. But today, many of us live in the city, and because of the many bright lights we are ...read more

    Where Should We As A Nation Put Our Trust?

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 2, 2022
     | 1,556 views

    When a man is lost in the desert, he may experience a mirage. That is, he may look out over the sands, and in the distance see what appears to be a lake, shimmering in the sun.

    His goal is to get to the lake and obtain water to satisfy his thirst. As he travels toward the “lake”, the lake seems to maintain it’s distance, or at some point just disappears. IT WAS A MIRAGE! Such an experience only brings disappointment and tragedy to the individual who believes the mirage is ...read more

    Sermon: How To Support Leadership

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Mar 3, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,299 views

    Since success comes from partnership, collaboration, and cooperation, why should support be a one-way street? Maybe it’s time to start thinking about how you can support your pastors, your apostles, or your leaders to maximize their success.

    Sermon: How To Support Leadership Text: 1Ch 12:32, 38 And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment. 38 “All these men of war, that could keep ...read more

    Building The Lord’s House

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 6, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,654 views

    If the church is going to promote abundant life and begin attracting people, it must become more than just a physical structure. It must be seen as a house, or rather, a home. It must become a place where people feel safe and secure.

    There was once a story in the Oregonian, Portland’s morning newspaper, of a man who had helped construct a Roman Catholic Church in Mexico. He used inferior materials in order to make more money. At the dedication of the building, the roof collapsed, killing many of the worshipers including the ...read more

    The Depths Of Despair

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 6, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,070 views

    This message looks at some Bible passages on the cave of despair. How do people tend to act when they find themselves in such a dark place? What do we need to do, in order for God to deliver us into a place of hope and life?

    I want to get us started with our message this morning by sharing an illustration that I’ve used on numerous occasions: Back when I was in college, I used to go cave exploring with a friend as often as possible. Sometimes we went about twice a week. Well, one evening we followed a lead for a new ...read more

    Preach The Word -- Which One? 2 Of 2

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 7, 2022
     | 2,012 views

    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

    Complete In Jesus

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 9, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,477 views

    Have you ever questioned your salvation? As long as we keep our trust totally in Christ, we stand assured of God’s promise of eternal life. But as soon as we rest any weight on the thin ice of our own efforts, we topple into insecurity.

    Have you ever wondered about your salvation; about whether or not you are going to heaven when you die? Some questions we might have are, “What am I supposed to do in order to gain God’s acceptance and love?” “Do I have to read the Bible all the way through?” “Do I have to knock on a million ...read more

    Fix Your Eyes On Jesus

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 9, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 6,824 views

    In this account, Jesus’ disciples neither totally believed nor totally disbelieved His power to rescue them. We can’t ride the fence. We must keep our eyes fixed only on Jesus before we can expect to see Him work in our life.

    Os Guinness tells us in his book In Two Minds, “To believe is to be ‘in one mind’ about accepting something as true; to disbelieve is to be ‘in one mind’ about rejecting it. To doubt is to waver between the two, to believe and disbelieve at once and so be ‘in two minds’.”(1) This morning we are ...read more

    Get Onboard (February 6, 2022)

    In this story, we see excuses, and an invitation that brought forth an alt[a]ration.

    Acts Of The Apostles 34 Of 39

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022
     | 1,587 views

    In previous studies, we find all that had been prophesied about the apostle Paul had come to pass. He was taken by a mob that almost killed him, but was rescued by the chief captain who took him away from that crowd.

    He was brought before a council that did not care a thing about justice. When he observed that the council was composed of both Pharisees and Sadducees, he divided the group by stating he was a Pharisee, and a firm believer in miracles and the resurrection. Since the Sadducees did not believe ...read more

    Does God Ever Withdraw His Favor?

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Mar 15, 2022
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,862 views

    There is a belief in the church that when a Born-Again Christian sins or walks in disobedience, God withdraws His favor and blessings to punish them.

    This belief is rooted in the Old Testament, where a relationship with God was conditionally based upon behavior. The Hebrew words translated as ‘favor’ are ‘ratson’ and ‘ratsah.’ The word ‘ratson’ is translated as favor, goodwill, acceptance, desire, pleasure. It most often represents God ...read more

    The Unsearchable Riches Of Christ Series

    Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Mar 22, 2022
     | 2,170 views

    What Paul was doing in the early church we are to continue to do the same today. The caveat is that we must always be careful not to bend the message of the gospel to fit the preference or desires of those to whom we are sharing the gospel.

    Life Is One Big Test

    Someone said, “Life is a test”. Life is one big university that is in session 365 days a year.

    I do not know about you, but I have never enjoyed taking a test. Now I can remember when I was in college. It seemed as if some of my classmates enjoyed taking a test because it gave them a chance to show off how smart they were. But I never had a lot to show off, so I never enjoyed taking a ...read more

    In this life, we have people that we consider to be our enemies.

    That is, they do not like us, and every time they get a chance to do us some harm they do it solicitously. That is a fact of life, it is something we mortals live with every day of our lives. There are many reasons that people hate us, such as: (1) Some people are just evil to the core, and ...read more
