Looking Back Or Looking Forward

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jan 2, 2024

This is a New Year message concerning looking forward to what God has in store for us in the New Year.

The first word, EBENEZER, means ‘Hitherto hath the Lord helped us’ and the second JEHOVAH JIREH, ‘The Lord will see to it or provide.’ One ...read more

Sermon # 1 - A People Set Apart For God Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 11, 2024

We as a church are the ‘Ekklesia’ set apart for the Lord. Let us understand how we can be those called apart people who can take a stand for the Lord and not compromise with the world.

We read in Matthew 16:18, “And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”(ESV) Jesus Christ said that He will build His church on the rock. Often people perceive that church is a building, and hence the first picture ...read more

Who Let The Dogs Out?

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 29, 2022

Perhaps you are familiar with NBC’s television show called, “Deal or No Deal!” Howie Mandel is the host.

He puts before the contestants many brief cases that contain certain amounts of money, and many times throughout the program he asks the contestant, “Deal or no Deal?” What this show so often reveals is that many are willing to deal with the host of the program, but they do not always get what ...read more

The Book Of Mark #57

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 30, 2022

In 1858, the Illinois legislature, using an obscure statute, sent Stephen A. Douglas to the U.S. Senate instead of Abraham Lincoln, although Lincoln had won the popular vote.

When a sympathetic friend asked Lincoln how he felt, he said he felt, “Like the boy who stubbed his toe: I am too big to cry and too badly hurt to laugh.” (Source unknown) All of us know that feeling. Life is filled with disappointments. Most of us will do anything to keep from having ...read more

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 31, 2022

Years ago the Hallmark Card Company used to advertise extensively on television.

He That Winneth Souls Is Wise No. 10

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 31, 2022

Every parent knows the frustrations of working with children that cannot seem to recognize the need for some obvious guidance.

For example, it seems sensible enough to us adults that we should sit down with a child and explain to that child that if he associates with bad company he is going to get into trouble, and that child should avoid bad company like the plague. But, it does not always work that way. You can tell ...read more

He That Winneth Souls Is Wise No. 3

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 31, 2022

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 ...read more

Pilate's Wife

Contributed by Claude Alexander on Apr 2, 2022

It is surprising, and sad, that the only testimony (in effect) on Jesus’ behalf during the trial was made, not by any of Jesus’ disciples, nor apostles, nor followers, but by Pilate’s wife.

Pilate's Wife Matt. 27:11-26 The chief priests with the elders and scribes and the whole council of the Sanhedrin had decided to put Jesus to death. They had Jesus brought before Pilate the governor to pronounce the death sentence. (Mark 15:1; Luke 22:66; 23:1) Pontius Pilate was the fifth ...read more
