    Individual Responsibility

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 15, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,620 views

    This message looks at an excuse that the Israelites used for not serving the Lord. It was an excuse, which they hoped would exempt them from their own sins and their own individual responsibility; and the excuse was very shallow.

    To begin our message this evening I wish to share a story. “A farmer once asked his neighbor if he might borrow a rope. ‘Sorry,’ said the neighbor. ‘I’m using my rope to tie up my milk.’ ‘Rope can’t tie up milk,’ said the farmer. ‘I know,’ replied the neighbor, ‘but when a man doesn’t want to ...read more

    God’s Perfect Instructions

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 17, 2022
     | 2,283 views

    Most of us have had to stop and ask for directions as we traveled from one place to another.

    And have you noticed some people are better at giving directions than others? Illus: A helicopter was in a storm flying around above Seattle, when an electrical malfunction disabled all of the aircraft's electronic navigation and communications equipment. Due to the clouds and haze, the pilot ...read more

    Finding The Lord’s Will

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 17, 2022
     | 1,240 views

    Some would have us believe that one of the hardest things in this life to find, is the will of God for our lives.

    Illus: Some think that finding the will of God for our life is like playing the game where you put a marble on the table, turn three cups upside down with one of the cups covering the marble. And then someone very quickly switches them around, then you try to guess which cup the marble is under. ...read more

    Where Is Your Tent Pitched?

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 18, 2022
     | 2,747 views

    Life is made up of many decisions. Some BIG and some SMALL and sometimes very unpopular.

    For example: (1) SOMETIMES WE HAVE TO MAKE PROFESSIONAL DECISIONS Consider the many decisions an umpire has to make calling “balls” or “strikes” in a baseball game. He can almost rest assured that by the time the game is over he does not have a friend in the stadium. These fellows have a hard ...read more

    Message - Psalm 44 Sons Of Korah - Two Sides Of Life Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 18, 2022
     | 1,432 views

    The message examines faith and trust in operation. The Psalmist recognised the care of Almighty God in Israel’s affairs, even in the midst of doubt. Our faith should be strong but often it is fickle. The Psalmist went through time of trust and bouts of doubt.

    TWO SIDES OF LIFE MESSAGE PSALM 44 SONS OF KORAH Ron Ferguson ronaldf@aapt.net.au Psa. 44 For the choir director. A Maskil of the sons of Korah.

    "Another Spirit”

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 23, 2022
     | 1,758 views

    One of the intriguing things about people is their differences.

    Illus: For example, have you noticed the difference between the employer and the employee, such as: • When you take a long time, you're slow. • When your boss takes a long time, he's thorough. • When you don't do it, you're lazy. • When your boss doesn't do it, he's too ...read more

    Who And What Matters In Life

     | 2,708 views

    I want to preach on something today that applies to everyone here, and I hope you will give me your undivided attention.

    Illus: This sermon reminds me of a new pastor that came to his first church. Being new in the ministry he did not know what to expect. For four weeks he was very busy. He had eight funerals and five weddings plus his other duties. He did not have time to write his regular Sunday sermon so he used ...read more

    The Book Of Joshua 2 Of 9

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 26, 2022
     | 2,283 views

    The Book of Joshua teaches us many valuable lessons. One of the lessons we learn in the book of Joshua is that God is a GOD OF GRACE.

    When I say God is a God of Grace, I am saying that God does what He does for us, not because of our goodness, but because of His goodness! Illus: When we think about the God of Grace, we think of the man who owned the city's newspaper who had 3 sons. He offered ownership of the paper to the ...read more

    Easter, Mary Magdalene And Red Eggs

    Contributed by Ernie Arnold on Mar 29, 2022
     | 5,067 views

    This is a sermon dedicated on centering our message on Jesus. At the same time it shows how some symbols that have attached themselves to Easter have in fact an important message to share with us - the Easter Egg.

    Scripture: John 20:1-18 Theme: Easter, Mary Magdalene and Red Eggs Proposition: Do we boycott all the things that have attached themselves to Easter? Instead all allowing the bunny, the egg hunts and all that stuff side track us - let's listen as the Ancient Church tells us about how the ...read more

     | 5,575 views

    People make mistakes because we can’t see ahead.

    Illus: On July 4, 1952, Florence Chadwich, aged 34, waded into the water off Catalina Island and began her 21-mile swim toward California. If she completed her journey, she would be the first woman ever to accomplish this feat. The water was ice cold, and the fog was so heavy, that Florence could ...read more

    He That Winneth Souls Is Wise No. 8

     | 1,070 views

    An article in The Reader's Digest stated that a man who had throat cancer was cured by his doctor's treating him with strong doses of vitamin C.

    This was interesting because the man only received help when he received the strong dosages. In these sermons on soul winning we hope you are getting a "strong dosage” effect. It is the prayer of this pastor that by giving these "strong dosages" week after week that many of you ...read more

     | 945 views

    In our text, Paul explains some of the things that motivated him.

    If we are going to be the SPIRITUAL INDIVIDUALS God wants us to be, we are going to have to have the same motives he had. WHAT IS A MOTIVE? The dictionary describes it as “A conscious or unconscious need or drive that incites a person to some action or behavior.” Illus: Someone has said, “The ...read more

     | 6,891 views

    Today we celebrate Mother’s Day and all of us have come to honor our mothers.

    We honor our mothers in two ways: (1) SOME ARE HERE TO HONOR THE MEMORY OF THEIR MOTHER who has gone to be with the Lord. Some of you are wearing a white rose or carnation to show that she has gone to be with the Lord. Today, you remember all the GOOD THINGS your loving mother taught you as a ...read more

    Eschatology 2 Of 16 Our Glorified Bodies (1 Of 2)

     | 2,134 views

    I hope you brought your Bible to church with you. You will need it as we are going to be talking about something from the Word of God that should interest every one here.

    • In the first message in this series, we talked about THE RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH. • Tonight we want to talk about the GLORIFIED BODIES that we will receive at the RAPTURE. Look at these verses in 1 Cor. 15:51-52, “Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, ...read more

    He Taught Them Many Parables… (The Thief And The Servants) # 19

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022
     | 2,073 views

    As we look at the coming of the Lord as a thief in the night, the emphasis is on the element of surprise.

    For example, a thief does not call the home that he plans to enter and say, “About one O’clock this evening I plan to arrive.” When he enters a home, he wants the element of surprise to be on his side.And the Bible tells us in Matthew 24:36, “But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the ...read more
