     | 1,872 views

    The story of Zacchaeus' meeting the Lord is one that we all love to hear.

    It has many intriguing things about it. For example, when Jesus was going through Jericho and He met Zacchaeus there, what kind of man did He meet? 1. Zacchaeus was wealthy. We read in verse 2, "And behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he ...read more

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 1, 2022
     | 1,066 views

    We have discovered from Peter that to become like Christ, there are some things we need to add to our faith

    We have seen that we need to add to our faith : • VIRTUE - We need virtue because virtue is what sets the boundaries of what WE DO and DO NOT DO! • KNOWLEDGE - We need knowledge of WHO HE IS and WHAT HE IS LIKE if we are going to become like Him. After he tells us to add virtue and knowledge, he ...read more

    God Is Calling, Will You Answer?

    There are times when we know something is important.

    For example: - YOU KNOW WHEN the telephone rings at three in the morning, more than likely someone has an emergency. - YOU KNOW WHEN the sheriff’s department calls, it is important because more than likely your wife was caught speeding again! - YOU KNOW WHEN the boss calls, more than likely it ...read more

     | 1,921 views

    This is the last chapter of Paul’s letter to the Christians that he loved and respected at Thessalonica.

    As far as we know, this was the last time Paul communicated with them. You can sense the love he had for them as you read this last chapter he wrote to them. There are many things that take place in a church that are not obvious, but one thing should be obvious to all, and that is the love God’s ...read more

    The Thessalonians # 1 (1 Of 2)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 6, 2022
     | 1,207 views

    On of the things that hurts the Lord’s work is that sometimes people join the church who are not sincere in their relationship with the Lord.

    These join for wrong reasons. For example, if you ask people what kind of church they are looking for, some answers will be: • “Well, I do not really like that church, but I probably will join the one down the street because it is convenient.” • “I am looking for a church with a good youth ...read more

     | 3,146 views

    America has become the land of idolatry. But before I make that claim, I need to make sure that I have the right definition of idolatry.

    Illus: Dr. Billy Graham says, "We usually think of an idol as a religious figure carved of wood or stone, perhaps in some primitive tribe far removed from civilization. But we have our "idols" today, because an idol is anything that you worship in place of the living God. Some ...read more

It was a year when: • Some suffered a divorce • Some suffered a financial setback • Some suffered some serious health problems So a New Year is a time when people can put all these bad things behind ...read more

    God’s Comfort In Captivity Series

    Contributed by Phillip Smith on Jan 30, 2023
     | 1,431 views

    In faith and trust of God, the righteous will find comfort in captivity. Wisdom will be given for those who seek to find it.

    God never forsakes his own. Today we will begin to see comfort given to His righteous captives by some prophecies foretold of a physical literal nature of their future; perhaps way into the future until the dispersing of Christians in AD 70, or beyond. Daniel’s comfort lieth in understanding God’s ...read more
