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

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 9, 2022
     | 1,289 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

    Get Onboard (February 6, 2022)

     | 3,132 views

    In this story, we see excuses, and an invitation that brought forth an alt[a]ration.

    GET ONBOARD Text: Luke 5:1-11 Luke 5:1-11  Once while Jesus was standing beside the lake of Gennesaret, and the crowd was pressing in on him to hear the word of God,  (2)  he saw two boats there at the shore of the lake; the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their ...read more

    The Body Of Christ

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 12, 2022

     | 6,061 views

    If we desire to impact our community for Jesus Christ, then we need to be unified. Using the illustration of the church as a human body, Paul shared how a church that is divided will fail to function properly; or perhaps, even fail to survive.

    “A father asked his young son to break a bundle of sticks. He returned a little later to find the boy frustrated in the task. He had raised the bundle high and smashed it on his knee, but he only bruised his knee. He had set the bundle against a wall and stomped real hard with his foot, but the ...read more

    The Refiner’s Fire

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 13, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,989 views

    In this passage, Ezekiel described the Babylonian exile as being the crucible in which Israel was melted down, and the godly (the silver) were separated from the unrighteous (the dross). The purpose of the refiner's fire is spiritual purification.

    I wish to begin our message with an illustration: There was a dedicated Christian woman who once visited a tourist attraction, which happened to be a working replica of a pioneer village; and one of the manned displays she observed was a silversmith shop. The woman watched the silversmith as he ...read more

    Acts Of The Apostles (15 Of 39)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022
     | 2,106 views

    After the young Christian church had been through much persecution, it was called upon to do two unusual things:

    • Accept Saul, who had been one of the worst enemies it had. • Accept the Gentiles as part of the Christian church. We must remember, the young Christian church was composed of Jews who, although saved, had been raised from childhood to consider that anyone who was a gentile, was on the ...read more

    Does God Ever Withdraw His Favor?

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Mar 15, 2022
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,649 views

    There is a belief in the church that when a Born-Again Christian sins or walks in disobedience, God withdraws His favor and blessings to punish them.

    This belief is rooted in the Old Testament, where a relationship with God was conditionally based upon behavior. The Hebrew words translated as ‘favor’ are ‘ratson’ and ‘ratsah.’ The word ‘ratson’ is translated as favor, goodwill, acceptance, desire, pleasure. It most often represents God ...read more

    Repairing The Altar Of The Lord

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,992 views

    As you read through the sacred Scriptures, time and time again you read of altars.

    Why? These people in the Scriptures understood the significance of altars. For example, after the flood, when Noah came out of the ark, he had a lot of things he had to do, such as: • Build a house for his family to live in • Plant a garden so his family could have food to eat But the Bible ...read more

    Christianity cures our self-focus by giving us something greater to focus on in our lives. What I mean is that dying to your self and living for Christ completes and renews your entire life.

    Victory Over Fear

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 23, 2022
     | 2,362 views

    We are all thankful for every precious verse of scripture in the Word of God, but there are some verses we favor above others. One such verse is Psalm 56:3, we read, “What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.”

    WHY IS THIS SUCH A FAVORITE VERSE OF SCRIPTURE FOR SO MANY? Because there are times in ALL OF OUR LIVES when we are AFRAID! Illus: In one movie, John Wayne, who is known for his toughness, was leading a bunch of young marines landing on the island of Iwo Jima. They were under heavy fire as they ...read more

    "Where Art Thou?”

     | 5,486 views

    God asked Adam a simple question, “Where art Thou?”

    Have you noticed that many times we are asked questions, and we wonder why we are being asked such a question because the answer seems so obvious. Illus: Listen to these foolish questions and their answers - Q. A lawyer said to a man on the witness stand, “What happened then?” A. “He told me, ‘I ...read more

    Who Can And Cannot Be Saved

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 25, 2022
     | 2,154 views

    The scripture says, "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."

    This verse of scripture sounds simple enough, but often even a familiar text needs some explanation. Something needing an explanation makes me think of the following little story: Illus: There was a criminal who was put in prison. The prison life had many new and different aspects. One of the ...read more

    Defeating Discouragement

     | 5,021 views

    A nationally known preacher told a group of men at a preacher’s conference that HE HAD NEVER BEEN DISCOURAGED A DAY OF HIS LIFE!

    Listen, he lost all credibility with many of the preachers there, because that just sounded like it could not be true. Everyone has to battle some degree of discouragement at some time in life; I MEAN EVERYONE! The Bible tells us that there was none greater born among women than John the Baptist, ...read more

    The Thessalonians # 9

     | 1,475 views

    Since Paul now is switching from the relationship between himself and the Thessalonian Christians to giving instruction on conduct, “walk,” the word “ethics” comes up since this has to do with conduct.

    The word “ethics” is one of the most important words in the English language. Of the ten most IMPORTANT WORDS in the English language, “ethics” should be ranked toward the top of the list! It is a word that every SCHOOL TEACHER should DRILL into the minds of students. It is a word every SUNDAY ...read more

    What It Takes To Be A Soldier (Veterans Day)

     | 7,552 views

    Many folks are ignorant about the national holidays this country has set aside for us to observe. Veterans day is one of them.

    If you ask some why we observe this day as a national holiday, they know it has something to do with the military, but they do not understand the significance of it. Illus: They remind me of a young man that took his girl friend to her first football game. They arrived at the game when the two ...read more
