Only You Can Prevent It! Series

Contributed by Steve Ely on Jun 8, 2021

Offended? Disagree? Go on the offensive and cancel the material or the person. It is culture cancel and it has gone wild. However, maybe we should participate!

Cancel Culture Pt. 2 - Only You Can Prevent It! I. Introduction Cancel culture is a modern form of ostracism in which someone is thrust out of social or professional circles – whether it be online, on social media, or in person.

From House To House

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 17, 2022

Based on a New Testament understanding of a church, and based on the ministry of the early apostles, we learn that believers did not always assemble in a public place of worship. Much of the time they met in one another’s homes.

This morning I want to address the topic of “doing church.” and I’m going to begin by asking the question, “Where are Christians supposed to assemble together for worship and fellowship?” In Acts 17:24, Paul declared, “God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and ...read more

Have You Got Milk?

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 3, 2022

The words of the Bible are likened to milk, and they are as essential to our spiritual growth as milk is to the growth of the human body. If you desire physical life then drink cow’s milk. If you desire spiritual life then drink the milk of God’s Word.

I am sure the majority of you have watched the television commercials advertising milk with the catchy little slogan that says, “Got milk?” Maybe you recall the commercials of years gone by that said, “Milk, it does the body good.” What you can pick up from these slogans is that milk is good for ...read more

Having No Fear

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 3, 2022

Fear is a part of the human condition; however, our fears would cease if we would place our hope in Jesus Christ, instead of the false securities that we’ve built up through our occupations, activities, or the many masks we wear.

Our sermon this evening is entitled, “Having No Fear.” I recall how back in the 1990’s there was a popular brand of clothing with the brand name No Fear. I read an Internet article from that same time period, which says the No Fear slogan “has come to symbolize a ‘cutting edge’ lifestyle” and has ...read more

Grace From Galatians (10 Of 19)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 7, 2022

We are looking at the five different appeals that Paul used in dealing with these Galatians.

In the first appeal, he dealt with them about three things: • He appealed to their PAST • He appealed to their PRESENT • He appealed to their PREDICAMENT In this second appeal, he appeals to their love for him and how he should be treated by them. • Being a Minister of the Gospel is considered by ...read more

Grace From Galatians (12 Of 19)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 8, 2022

This is Paul’s fourth appeal to try to get them to come to their senses.

As we have seen, Paul does not understand why these backsliding Galatian Christians wanted to return to the bondage of the law. In this appeal, he seems to appeal to their common sense, something that many in this country seem to have lost. Illus: I saw this sad announcement and thought about ...read more

"Peter, Feed My Sheep” (13 Of 21)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 11, 2022

Now I am not a chef, but I would imagine that if you were going to feed a group of chefs, you had better know something about cooking.

Our Lord told Peter to, "feed My sheep.” In this particular passage of scripture, he is feeding the “Spiritual Chefs”, the ministers of the gospel. Notice that he speaks of: I. THE ELDER Verse 1. "The elders which are among you...” From this verse we see who he is addressing and ...read more

Confidence During Uncertainty

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Mar 21, 2022

Just like Abram, all we need to do is simply believe and trust in God. Yes, we can be confident in the times of uncertainty.

We have been talking about having confidence during certain times in our lives--confidence when fear surrounds us, and confidence during conflicting times. Today I want to look at being confident in times of uncertainty. If anyone knows about uncertainty, it's our world today. You all know ...read more

God Knows How To Deliver The Saints And Sinners

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 7, 2025

Many ministers do not like to prepare sermons that deal with only one verse of scripture.

Why? There are several reasons. (1) Often when preachers select one verse it is easy to take it out of context. Did you know you can twist the scriptures to make it sound like anything you want it to sound? Let me give you an example… You can quote from scripture the Bible says, THERE IS NO ...read more

God Answers Prayers

Contributed by Tesh Njokanma on May 13, 2023

God has an avalanche; so many different kinds of answers to prayers in His hand. Even though there are uncountable number of people knocking at His door for answers, God never runs out of answers or gets tired of giving answers.

An Avalanche of Answers One of the benefits of coming to God is that you can’t come to God and go back empty handed. When we come to God, we receive answers to our prayers. Psalm 65:2 says, “O You who hear prayer, to You all flesh will come.” Some other versions say “You who answer, to You all ...read more

A lady was walking down the street on her way to work & saw a parrot in a pet store. She went in to admire the bird, and suddenly the parrot spoke to her, “Hey lady.
