    The Joy Of The Lord

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 25, 2022
     | 6,424 views

    In these verses, God’s Word talks about the “JOY of The Lord” that we can enjoy, and what it can do for us.

    The Lord gives us His JOY each day, but the devil tries to rob us of it each day. For example, he will make sure each day people will enter our life that take great delight in stripping every ounce of joy that they can extract from our life. They spare no effort: • They will drive across town if ...read more

    Grace From Galatians (7 0f 19)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 7, 2022
     | 1,387 views

    The false religions of the world have one thing in common. They all desire to put people under bondage. Why do they want to put people under bondage? This is their way of keeping their members under their control.

    For example to understand that, we have to consider a dictator like Saddam Hussein. Why did he use intimidation, torture and death as a means to control the people of Iraq? The people in Iraq were afraid to say anything bad about him for fear that he would have them killed. Illus: Let me give you ...read more

    God Is A God Of Wrath Attributes Of God (10 Od 10 Sermons)

     | 1,318 views

    As we continue to learn what kind of God the God of the Bible is we will preach about one last attribute.

    So far, we have preached about God's being holy, immutable, love, jealous, orderly, omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent. The Bible reveals all these attributes to us because God wants us to come to know Him. He knows we cannot WORSHIP and SERVE Him if we do not KNOW Him. Now, if I was a ...read more

    Fix Your Eyes On Jesus

     | 6,819 views

    In this account, Jesus’ disciples neither totally believed nor totally disbelieved His power to rescue them. We can’t ride the fence. We must keep our eyes fixed only on Jesus before we can expect to see Him work in our life.

    Os Guinness tells us in his book In Two Minds, “To believe is to be ‘in one mind’ about accepting something as true; to disbelieve is to be ‘in one mind’ about rejecting it. To doubt is to waver between the two, to believe and disbelieve at once and so be ‘in two minds’.”(1) This morning we are ...read more

    What Do You Preach?

    Folks have different ideas about men and women in the ministry. They are referred to as “People of the Cloth.”

    Illus: The phrase, “People of the Cloth”, reminds me of the pastor of a conservative small-town congregation. He received the gift of a white suit from a friend, but he was a bit reluctant to wear it. Since it was so attractive and a perfect fit, he decided to put it on one warm Sunday. As he was ...read more

    Jeremiah 29:10, “This is what the Lord says: “You will be in Babylon for seventy years. But then I will come and do for you all the good things I have promised, and I will bring you home again.”

    Last week we talked about how Israel was taken into captivity in Babylon. And during that time God continued to be with his people, even after they had failed him so completely. He worked through people like Daniel and Shadrach, Meshach and Abendigo. Daniel saw many dreams and visions, and even saw ...read more

    This message views the symbol of baptism and looks at it piece by piece, in order to understand what it represents; which, in the end, will provide a fuller picture of how we’re supposed to live our life for Jesus Christ.

    This morning I’m going to be preaching on baptism and have us look at its symbolism; and I want to begin with an illustration. If you have a wedding ring on right now, then take a look at it. “Baptism is like a wedding ring. Both symbolize transactions. A wedding ring symbolizes marriage, just ...read more

    This is the time for us to take stock of the decisions that we are making every day. Those that can be changed that are not in line with God’s will, need to be set aside immediately.

    Psalm 91 - Specially Protected We read in Psalm 91:11-12, “He will command his angels to protect you wherever you go. Their hands will catch you so that you will not hit your foot on a rock.” (ERV) Those who trust in the Lord are guaranteed an extraordinary protection over their lives. The Lord ...read more
