Acts Of The Apostles 34 Of 39

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022

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

Acts Of The Apostles # 27 - 39

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022

In this portion of Scripture, we have the opportunity to travel with Paul while he is at Ephesus.

Some of the places that Paul visited would not have impressed us, but we can see from these verses that God used Paul in a great way. This is the place Paul wanted to visit on his second missionary journey, and God forbid him to come, but now, God not only allowed him to come, but God gave Paul an ...read more

Does God Ever Withdraw His Favor?

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Mar 15, 2022

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

What Is Our Purpose? Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 5, 2021

If we do not know the Lord’s purpose as a church, then we can’t plan for success; and thus, we will see no results in reaching the world for Jesus Christ. This passage shows the five purposes (five E-words) designed for every church.

This morning, I want us to think about our purpose. The word “purpose” is defined as, “the reason for which something exists or is done,” and “an intended or desired result.”(1) Based on the definition of the word “purpose,” we can see how we need to consider the reason why we do certain things, ...read more

We Believe In The Cross Series

Did God Really Say? Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Mar 14, 2025

Satan's strategy is to get us to doubt God's words, and to trust his. How does he do that, and how can we be prepared to protect ourselves from his deception?

You know the story - way back in the days of Adam and Eve, Satan slithered up to Eve and he asked a very simple question: “DID GOD REALLY SAY?” The question seemed innocent enough - BUT it was intended to plant a doubt in Eve’s mind. “DID GOD REALLY SAY?”, Satan said … and it worked. If Satan ...read more
