Three Ways To Deal With God

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 30, 2022

In this sermon, I want to deal with a STATEMENT we find in the scriptures that says, “There is no God!”

But we definitely need to put this statement into context. The whole verse says, “The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.” Since God can not be seen, some foolishly say there is no God. Now if He could be seen they would not be able to state that. But just because we can not see Him ...read more

Trust And Obey God

Contributed by Christian Cheong on May 5, 2024

Jesus tells parables to warn the religious leaders not to remain in their unbelief and disobedience. We are called to believe and obey God. We obey Him because He loves us.

Life To The Full - A Funeral Sermon

Remember Your Leaders Series

Contributed by John Newton on Nov 16, 2022

It seems to me that this concluding chapter is something of a catch-all. I can imagine that the author’s hand might be aching after all this writing. So now he is packing as much as he can into his concluding words.

Wow! We’ve been reading and making our way through Hebrews for a long time. It was way back in January that we started. Now it seems almost as though that is shrouded in the mists of history. And I want to express my gratitude to Pastor Marvin, who has steadfastly and faithfully been leading us ...read more

The Triumphant Entry Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Aug 25, 2023

The Roman authorities paid little attention to Jesus riding in on a donkey, but in the scheme of all eternity it was the most significant event.

This passage that we know as Jesus triumphant entry is also well known to all Christians because it is the focus of Palm Sunday the week before Easter. It is an annual tradition of the church to make this an emphasis at the beginning of holy week. Almost every Sunday School child has carried a palm ...read more
