Be Your Own Boss!

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 23, 2022

Most Americans work and much of their life is controlled by someone else. There certainly is nothing wrong with that. This country could not operate unless people were willing to fill the jobs that are needed.

Some jobs require a lot from folks who apply for them. It is essential to find qualified people to fill these jobs. Illus: A few months ago, there was an opening with the CIA for an assassin. Two men and a woman applied for this job. The day came for the final test to see which person would get ...read more

Therefore: Do Good Series

Contributed by Denn Guptill on Oct 7, 2023

This is the first in the series where we look at the old adage, whenever you see a Therefore, you need to go back and see what it's there for.

It’s one of those things that preachers say. It is kind of like, “After the but comes the truth,” or “I’m almost finished.” I’m pretty sure if you’ve been in church for any length of time that you’ve heard this particular phrase, perhaps you’ve even said it yourself from time to time, and it is ...read more

While We Wait Series

Contributed by Pat Damiani on Sep 19, 2006

First in a series on the early church from Acts 1-4. This message deals with how to wait on God.

Note: Although my outline is very similar to a great sermon by Medford Foskey on this same passage, I only read his sermon after completing most of the work on mine. However I did "steal" his opening story. “It is a sin to be good if God has called us to be great.” That is the first line from ...read more

The Sins Of Omission And The Sins Of Commission…which Are The Worse?

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Oct 19, 2022

In the title of this sermon I asked a question: Which sin is worse, the SINS of COMMISSION or the SINS of OMISSION?

Before I get through with this sermon I think you will be able to answer that question. Many are not aware the Bible talks about two kinds of sins. (1) THE SINS OF COMMISSION. Illus: Can you remember as a child you did something bad and your dad or mom said, “Wait till I get you home!!!” And ...read more

In order for each of us to move toward becoming the person God created us to be and fulfill the purpose He created us to fulfill, we must pull some stakes and refuse to let limitations define us.

Four Things God Cannot Do

Contributed by Kenneth Trent on Nov 15, 2002

The only limits to the power of Almighty God are those that He has placed on Himself. This sermon deals with four areas where He has defined the boundaries.

FOUR THINGS GOD CANNOT DO! "But Jesus looked at them and said: ’With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." Matthew 19:26. Does the sermon title and the scripture text contradict each other? No, for only God can limit or impose a restriction upon Himself. I. ...read more
