    Why I Do Not Obey The Lord

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 28, 2022
     | 2,294 views

    Every pastor hears excuses. But some of the excuses he hears are better than the others.

    Illus: One lady gave her excuse for why she does not attend church. She said, "I don't go to church, and this is my reason: • If I go some of the time, it makes me want to go all the time. • And since I can't go all the time, it makes me feel guilty when I miss some of the time. • ...read more

    Do You Desire Healing?

     | 4,403 views

    Jesus confronted a man who had been ill for thirty-eighty years, and asked him if he desired to be healed. Jesus revealed that some people are not healed because they don’t want to be healed, or they lack the faith to be healed.

    A Kansas man by the last name of Florence told a story about his daughter who was suffering from an illness. Mr. Florence said, “My daughter, suffering from anorexia and bulimia, was undergoing treatment at Baptist Medical Center in Kansas City.

    Funeral Service #1

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 1, 2022
     | 5,573 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?

    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
     | 5,304 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

     | 5,662 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

     | 4,074 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
     | 2,020 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

     | 4,482 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
     | 6,840 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

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

    GET ONBOARD Text: Luke 5:1-11 Luke 5:1-11  Once while Jesus was standing beside the lake of Gennesaret, and the crowd was pressing in on him to hear the word of God,  (2)  he saw two boats there at the shore of the lake; the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their ...read more

    Acts Of The Apostles 34 Of 39

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022
     | 1,590 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

    Many people don't believe in Angels, God or the Devil but I would like to share my testimony with you on how I became a believer when I was running from the God I never knew.

    My name is Vernon House - I am the pastor of the First Pentecostal Church of Red Bud Many times ministers are thought to be out of touch with the world around them. That we are just religious, self-righteous, judgmental, or even condescending. I would like to change your opinion about that and ...read more
