    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 29, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,212 views

    This message looks at how people run from God when He is only trying to rescue them. What are some of the ways in which the Lord pursues the lost? And what happens when He actually catches the person who’s running?

    This morning we are going to look at some words of revelation from the Lord spoken by the prophet Elihu to Job. In Elihu’s words of wisdom, we find a message that can be applied to those who are lost without salvation in Jesus Christ; and I wish to begin this sermon with an illustration: One ...read more

     | 2,106 views

    Guardrails are partial walls designed to keep vehicles from straying off the road into dangerous areas. God wants us to erect guardrails for our finances, behavior, morals, dating, ethics, etc.

    GUARDRAILS FOR YOUR LIFE Eph. 5:3-5 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: Tomorrow is Tax Day. Here’s 7 thoughts: 1. Moms and Dads never appreciate their kids more than at tax time. 2.

    Isaiah tells the Israelites to forget the Exodus, looking forward to the new thing - Jesus.

    4.3.22 Isaiah 43:16-21 16 This is what the LORD says, who makes a road through the sea and a path through mighty waters, 17 who brings out the chariot and the horses, the army and the strong warrior.

    "Glorify God In Your Body”

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 2, 2022
     | 2,096 views

    After a person becomes a child of God, his purpose in life is forever settled.

    Paul states very clearly how it should be. Look at Phil 1:21. We read, “For to me to live is Christ...” That is so simple, it makes one wonder why some Christians can not comprehend it. There are at least two reasons why they can not. (1) There is some kind of mental problem. For example, ...read more

    Most mothers have known the pain of having to place their babies in a day-care facility for the first time and knowing they would have to be away from them for eight or nine hours while they went to work.

    Illus: Recently one mother, who had to do this with her first baby, explained that she began to cry as she wrapped that little eight-pound boy up in his warm blanket to get him ready for the day-care. She said that throughout the day she was constantly wondering what he was doing. Jesus knows ...read more

     | 1,542 views

    Life is filled with all kinds of trouble, but the God of love has a special reason for allowing trouble in our lives.

    Illus: Have you ever been riding down a smooth super highway and found yourself going faster and faster as you followed the crowd? Before you realized it, you were going 20 or 30 miles over the speed limit. Illus: A man was speeding down a highway, feeling secure in a string of other cars all ...read more

     | 3,306 views

    We live in a society that knows a great deal about the PHYSICAL BIRTH, but very little about the SPIRITUAL BIRTH!

    Illus: A mother was watching a PBS special showing the birth of a baby. The mom thought it would be a good starting point for answering questions about the facts of life. • As her five-year-old studied the baby coming out of the birth canal, he asked, "Mom, does that hurt?" • Recalling ...read more

    There are all kinds of sermons preachers can bring from God’s Word, but some seem more important than others.

    I would certainly classify this as one of those that are REALLY IMPORTANT! Because it is one of those important sermons, I have asked the Lord all week to help me to preach it in a way that would be pleasing to him. Illus: There was a preacher that was shaking hands with the members of his ...read more

    Battling With A Bad Attitude

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 8, 2022
     | 4,567 views

    Today I want to preach about people that none of us like to be around. I’m talking about people with a BAD ATTITUDE.

    The reason we do not want to be around such people is because they are miserable and they make everyone around them miserable. Illus: A guy named Matt received a parrot for his birthday. The parrot was fully-grown, with a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary. Every other word was an ...read more

    The Antidote To Progressive Revisionism In The Church

    based on 4 ratings
     | 1,829 views

    God gave laws known as the Ten Commandments for every human being to adhere to.

    Religious leaders are always very good at legalism so they added 603 moral and legal codes (365 thou shalt not's and 248 thou shalt). Jesus accentuated the 10 Commandments because they are the key to knowledge about salvation (see Isaiah 42:21; Luke 11:52). The Bible says that "Only in ...read more

     | 1,636 views

    We have heard it said many times, in many places, by many people, “DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU.”

    This would be a great place to live if everyone lived by this Bible principle. The fact is, many among us would be irate, to say the least, if others treated us the way we treat others. Illus: Have you ever been on the side of the road trying to get someone to allow you to enter the traffic ...read more

     | 3,180 views

    I’m really glad God came up with the idea of Christmas. But what did God have in mind when He created Christmas? What motivated Him to bring Christmas to us?

    Christmas is really enjoyable on so many levels. But a widow names Stella has an unusual experience on Christmas. Stella’s first Christmas as a widow brought incredible loneliness. One day her doorbell rang and she was greeted by a messenger holding a box. “What’s in the box?” she asked. The ...read more

    “It’s that Simple. It’s that Complicated” John 13:1-5, 12-15, 34-35 Have you ever taken a moment to think about how totally profound this encounter is between Jesus and His disciples on the night that Jesus was betrayed?
