The Cross Has Enemies Series

Contributed by Mike Lewis on Dec 27, 2022

Sergio’s enemy of the priest that turned him away became his inspiration to help others. Even the ones we see as representing Jesus can (at times) be an enemy. And today, our lesson is that The Cross Has Enemies.

WELCOME & INTRODUCTION FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT Sergio Gutierrez Benitez was a kid growing up in a tough neighborhood of Mexico City in the 1950s. By age ten he’d already joined a gang, committed petty crimes, and started using drugs—marijuana at first, then harder drugs. Finally, after years ...read more

The Age Of Discouragement

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 17, 2022

Legend has it that Satan once had an auction. He auctioned off all the weapons he possessed except one, it was the tool of discouragement.

He was asked why he refused to auction off the tool of discouragement. His answer we are told was simple. He said, “With this one tool I can accomplish everything I want to accomplish.” This is the most powerful weapon that Satan has, and he is a master at knowing how to use it skillfully! • ...read more

Israel had some serious problems, and the Lord wanted to take them to the Potter’s house to teach them a lesson.

The Armor Of God 3 Of 8

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 24, 2022

In this life, we have people that we consider to be our enemies.

That is, they do not like us, and every time they get a chance to do us some harm they do it solicitously. That is a fact of life, it is something we mortals live with every day of our lives. There are many reasons that people hate us, such as: (1) Some people are just evil to the core, and ...read more

Faith Cometh By…

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 24, 2022

Look especially at verse 6, we read, “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”

Also, let us look at Romans 10:13-17 All churches that are Bible preaching churches, preach regularly on the doctrines of the Bible. Many of the doctrines of the Bible are both SIMPLE and COMPLEX. Faith is one of those doctrines. For example: • It is so simple a child can understand it • It is ...read more

The Law Of Moses Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 18, 2020

Was the Mosaic law good or bad? Why did God give it to Israel, and what part did it play for His people?

OPEN: Why do laws exist? Why do we have them? I thought about that a lot this week…and this was my conclusion: “Laws exist to modify behavior and to help us know what is acceptable and what isn’t.” Now, if that’s true, why were these laws written?

The Refiner’s Fire

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 13, 2022

In this passage, Ezekiel described the Babylonian exile as being the crucible in which Israel was melted down, and the godly (the silver) were separated from the unrighteous (the dross). The purpose of the refiner's fire is spiritual purification.

I wish to begin our message with an illustration: There was a dedicated Christian woman who once visited a tourist attraction, which happened to be a working replica of a pioneer village; and one of the manned displays she observed was a silversmith shop. The woman watched the silversmith as he ...read more

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 15, 2022

A Conversation With A Woman At The Well

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 15, 2022

Today we want to look at a conversation between the Lord Jesus and a woman at the well. We find this conversation recorded in the gospel of John.

The Lord’s earthly ministry was around 3 1/2 years. • The synoptic gospels, Matthew, Mark, and Luke deal with the last year of His ministry. They dealt with a lot of things in His ministry, but not in much detail. • The ...read more

The Easy Button

Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Sep 1, 2019
