Are We Released From The Law? Series

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Sep 29, 2021

Some Christians totally disregard the law, saying we have been released from it, and it is not even to be obeyed in the spirit. Where do people get that idea from?

Heading Home From Jerusalem Series

Contributed by Roberta Karchner on Apr 19, 2024

The concept (Bright Sunday) is that Jesus was having fun showing up for the disciples, here as they headed home, he walked with them, and they recognized him in the breaking of the bread.

Today is Bright Sunday. Easter is a Holy Day, a day when everyone comes to church. Today is the day when the Christian believers come back to celebrate, because we are now in Easter Tide – the time between the Resurrection and when Jesus Ascended into heaven. After the Ascension, we have ...read more

Preaching From Philippians #8

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 31, 2022

Paul’s life was like ours in that he had two kinds of friends.

(1) HE HAD HIS SUNSHINE FRIENDS One of the sunshine friends was Demas. When things were going great, Demas was there, but when things got rough, Demas got going! Look at 2 Timothy 4:3, we read, “For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; ...read more

Preaching From Philippians #6

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 31, 2022

In this passage of scripture, Paul talks to the Philippian Christians about salvation. That may seem strange because these people said they were Believers.

A good pastor deals with the subject of salvation for two reasons: (1) He knows it is a possibility that many are deceived about their salvation. The Lord Himself dealt with this deception in Matthew 7:22-23, we read, “Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy ...read more

Preaching From Philippians #4

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 31, 2022

In Chapter one, Paul let these Christians in Philippi know that he wanted to come to them, but couldn’t because he was in jail.

He also wanted them to know that his being in jail might bring about his death, but if it did, they were not to let it shake their faith in the Lord Jesus. He did not want them to feel sorry for him or for themselves, because Paul let it be known that for him “TO LIVE IS CHRIST AND TO DIE IS ...read more

Preaching From Philippians #2

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 31, 2022

One of the reasons that it is a sin for Christians to take drugs or drink alcoholic beverages is because these are substances that control our behavior.

These are things that will ruin our lives and cause us to make fools out of ourselves. There is no way that a Christian can be controlled by the Holy Spirit if they are controlled by these substances. But these are not the only things that control Christians. For example, there are many ...read more

Lessons From The Life Of Judas

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jun 13, 2024

If you don’t change, you could be headed in the wrong direction, just like Judas. Your future is in the fold, and where you go from here is up to you. Sometimes we have the best intentions with the wrong motives.

From Delay To Divine Fulfilment

Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jul 17, 2025
