Our Christian Wardrobe

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 13, 2021

There is something that most of the public schools no longer do. They no longer teach children how to dress properly for job interviews.

For example, there was a time that the public school taught students, that when you applied for a job, you should dress up in your best clothes for the job interviews. Today, it is not unusual to see young people go to a job interview in clothes that look like they wore them to bed last night, and ...read more

Tombs And Chains

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 6, 2022

Introduction: This passage of scripture that I will be preaching from is surrounded by situations that seem to be impossible to deal with.

And they are impossible as for as man is concerned. For example, in Mark chapters 4 and 5, we read of situations that only the Lord Jesus could deal with. • In Mark 4:38, Jesus and His disciples were sailing on the Sea of Galilee when a tremendous storm overwhelmed their boat.

Gifts For The Common Good Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 29, 2021

The reason the church has survived the changes of the centuries, and will continue to do so till the end of history is because it is designed to be adaptable to all of the cultures of the world.

Back in the mid 1800's a light-colored moth was very common in the industrial city of Manchester, England. When these moths landed on the bark of the trees they blended in so well that the moth eating birds could not see them, and the result was that they multiplied rapidly.

Revolutionary Resolutions Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 7, 2021

Paul wrote to the Thessalonians and suggested some vital areas for spiritual progress that are as relevant today as they were then. In fact, if we resolved to carry them out, they would revolutionize our Christian witness in the world.

No one doubts that man has made a great deal of progress in the physical realm. In 1903 when the Wright Brothers flew their heavier than air machine, the whole distance of their first flight was less than the wing spread of a modern B 36. Progress has been obvious. The progress in medicine has ...read more

Now Is The Time Series

Contributed by Lonnie Erwin on Jan 2, 2021

“Now is the Time” to come back to what is important to all who love God. God’s sent Jesus, His Son that we would no longer be separated from Him by the sin in our lives. What is keeping you from worshiping God?

One of my favorite songs is entitled “Heart of Worship.” The Lyrics of the song imply that we have gotten away from worshiping God and let other things replace our worship with things that are less important. Many of God’s people have let the pandemic dampen their desire to Worship God. With the ...read more

Faith And Prayer

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Jul 20, 2021

Why are some prayers answered while others are not? It has to do with materialism vs. spirituality.
