    Acts Of The Apostles (7 Of 39)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022
     | 1,293 views

    Luke wrote to Theophilus, telling him of some of the great events of the early church.

    As he tells of these events, it is like an unwinding story in which one event leads into the next. For example, after Pentecost, he leads into chapter 3, and tells of Peter and John going into the temple. He tells of the man who had been crippled from birth, asking them for alms. Luke related ...read more

    Do Not Say, "I Am A Youth!”

    This message looks at a teenager who was called by God. Jeremiah was like any other youth; no different than teenagers today. But the Lord was able to use him in an amazing way! God wants even those who are young to serve Him.

    I would like to begin our message with a short account concerning a great evangelist in recent church history. “Dwight L. Moody was once asked, ‘How many converts did you have last night?’ Moody answered, ‘Two and one half.’ The other person said, ‘Two adults and a child?’ ‘No,’ Moody replied. ...read more

    Spiritual Ingredients

     | 1,749 views

    We all have had the similar experience of having our taste buds seduced by a delicious meal.

    But the moment we took one bite of that delicious food, we immediately knew that one of the main components that would have made this dish taste so good, such as salt or pepper, was missing. There are some ingredients that can be left out of a dish or a drink, and no harm is done, but then there ...read more

    The Choices God Makes

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Mar 17, 2022
     | 2,144 views

    Scripture uses the term “the elect” to describe Christians. That word (eklogç) has the meaning of picking or choosing. Christians are the chosen ones of God. He made the choice, and He set the standard for the choice.

    Alba 3-13-2022 THE CHOICES GOD MAKES Romans 9:6-33 It's not fair! That is a cry from many people about situations that don’t go their way! Today in our society there are many who have taken this to a new level! Someone will say, “It’s not fair that little Johnny’s team has to lose, so let’s ...read more

    Is Your Best Offense Really A Good Defense?

    Contributed by Darian Catron on Mar 17, 2022
     | 2,282 views

    Why are so many so offended by everything today, and are we exempt from this problem? What is the best response (the Christlike one) when things are offensive to us?

    INTRODUCTION: Illustration- There’s an old saying – “The best defense is a good offense.” It’s been used in sports, in business, and in war. It’s also known as the strategic offensive principle of war. The theory is that being proactive with a strong offensive action will make your opponent so ...read more

    The Hunchback

    Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 19, 2022
     | 5,273 views

    Many people are emotionally crippled and don't even realize it. Jesus saw a woman's suffering and showed the compassion of God by healing her. He called her to Himself. God is still the healer today! Ends with a modern healing story.

    THE HUNCHBACK Luke 13:10-17 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. While taking a law class in personal injury litigation, I got into a car accident and had to wear a cervical collar. Two weeks later, I tripped over a wire and ended up on crutches. 2. When I hobbled into class shortly after these mishaps, ...read more

    Qualifications For Deacons Series

    Contributed by Freddy Fritz on Mar 24, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,215 views

    1 Timothy 3:8-13 shows us the qualifications for deacons.

    Scripture Paul wrote his First Letter to Timothy to give him directions about how Christians were “to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, a pillar and buttress of the truth” (1 Timothy 3:15). In chapter 3, Paul set down the qualifications for church officers. He ...read more

    He’s All Around Me 1 Of 3

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 25, 2022
     | 2,195 views

    A lot of folks think the Christian life is like the game children like to play, called “Hide and Seek”.

    Even older teens sometimes enjoy playing this game. But in all fairness, sometimes they cheat when they play it. Illus: For example, did you hear about the teenage girl that said to her boy friend, “Let’s play Hide and Seek.” • He said, “How do you play it?” • She said “It is simple. I will ...read more

     | 2,979 views

    In our scripture reading, we see the death of Moses has taken place

    Moses goes down in the pages of history as one of the greatest men who ever walked on this earth. Once the death of this great man of God took place, many probably felt like everything was coming to an end. But I am convinced that one of the reasons that God removes great men from the earth, such ...read more

    The Pastor And The Flock

     | 4,618 views

    Have you ever received one of those chain letters that tells you to send a copy of the letter to several other people, add your name to the list, and so on?

    We call these letters chain letters and most of the time included in the letter is a curse of some kind if you break the chain. Illus: There’s a story about a church that decided to include in their newsletter something similar. It had some tongue-in-cheek suggestions for church members that ...read more

    Don’t Worry… Be Happy! 2 Of 2

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 30, 2022
     | 1,627 views

    In the first message, I preached on having a Happy Church. We saw that the first thing we have to do is recognize the purpose of the church.

    WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE CHURCH? Many folks have many different ideas about what the purpose of the church is. For example: (1) Some seem to think the purpose of the church is for us to come together and see if we can build a more beautiful church building than the church down the ...read more

    The Book Of Mark #62

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,746 views

    This can be a difficult chapter to understand! It becomes difficult because some of the things the Lord talks about in this passage are BEFORE and some are AFTER the tribulation period.

    You can not take Matthew 24, 25, or Mark 13 and say this is how things are going to happen chronologically. Everything that the Lord said would happen, will happen, but not in the sequence He gives them. Notice, as the disciples were walking with Jesus past the Temple, they commented on the ...read more

    Being Tested

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Mar 30, 2022
     | 5,380 views

    Life will always test us. We can't escape it. But in all of our tests in life we have to include the testing of our faith. In order for our faith to be strengthened it has to be stretched.

    When I was a teenager, I used to deer hunt on a lease in Leakey, Texas. These are not mountains by any chance. But even in the Hill Country of Texas it can be challenging to get to a hunting spot on the side of one of those hills. I got the notion one time to climb to the top of the hill. What ...read more

    Jesus & The Traditions Of The Elders

    Contributed by John Gaston on Aug 25, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,512 views

    Jesus regularly received criticism from the religious authorities who were seeking to discredit Him. He turned it around as an opportunity to teach us that we need a new heart.

    JESUS & THE TRADITIONS OF THE ELDERS Mark 7:1-23 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: GETTING IT WRONG 1. Back in the cowboy days, a westbound wagon train was lost and low on food. At last they saw an old Jewish Rabbi, sitting beneath a tree. 2. The leader rushed to him and said, "We're lost ...read more

    Tweets From God (Part 1: Obadiah) Series

    Contributed by Scott Bayles on Aug 27, 2021
     | 5,395 views

    “If God had a Twitter account, what would he tweet?” The Bible contains five short one-chapter books. The first, Obadiah, is a tweet about one nation's downfall and another's deliverance.

    Tweets from God: Obadiah Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove Christian Church: 5/15/2016 I want to encourage you to log into Facebook, Twitter or whatever social media you prefer and “check in” here at the Grove.
