    The Hedge Of Protection

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 17, 2022
     | 3,337 views

    Solomon is considered to be one of, if not the smartest man who ever walked on this earth. When a man like this gives advice, it might be smart for us to listen to him. In this verse of scripture he reveals two things:

    (1) He talks about how traps that people set for each other often trap those who set them. Illus: Have you ever set a rat trap and had it snap and catch your finger? Illus: A good example of setting a trap and getting caught in it is found in the Book of Esther, where wicked Haman was hanged on ...read more

    Easter: Jesus’ death and resurrection gave us the gift of salvation and eternal life. But what else did it accomplish? It gave us the promise of renewal and transformation in our everyday lives and over our trials and troubles.

    Easter is upon – the day when we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ – and at Easter time we wish to hear why the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus is significant to us. We want to hear of the hope that we no longer have to be condemned to an eternal spiritual death, ...read more

    Life is made up of many decisions. Some BIG and some SMALL and sometimes very unpopular.

    For example: (1) SOMETIMES WE HAVE TO MAKE PROFESSIONAL DECISIONS Consider the many decisions an umpire has to make calling “balls” or “strikes” in a baseball game. He can almost rest assured that by the time the game is over he does not have a friend in the stadium. These fellows have a hard ...read more

    Bible Friendship (Friend’s Day)

     | 3,482 views

    Look at Prov. 27:5, we read, “Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.”

    Also look at Prov. 27:9-10 “Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel. Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbour that is near ...read more

    The Little Man With A Big Need

     | 3,089 views

    This is a popular text with preachers, and I have heard several intriguing titles for it besides the one I am using today.

    Here are some of them that I recall: • A man who went out on a limb for Jesus • The Salvation of Shorty the Racketeer • The Short Scoundrel that Seriously Sought The Saviour • Seeking the True Vine By Sitting In A Tall tree Any of these titles would be appropriate for this sermon, but I have ...read more

    This message looks at how our heart is like soil into which the gospel is planted, and we must be certain that our soil is fertile and ready to receive the Word. Otherwise, we will wither in our relationship with God; or worse, we will perish.

    I have entitled our message, “Where Do You Stand?” This morning, as we look at what’s called the “Parable of the Sower,” we’re going to see how Jesus talks about four different soils, or four different types of spiritual ground, on which people may stand in relation to God. Something challenging ...read more

    The Danger Of Spiritual Highs

     | 2,694 views

    The life of Elijah teaches us many valuable lessons. One of the lessons it teaches us is that some of our most trying times come after a SPIRITUAL HIGH in our life.

    For example, Elijah had just had two of his greatest victories: • All alone, he has just confronted a cult, and had 450 of their prophets on Mount Carmel killed. • God had just used him through prayer, to bring rain after three years of drought. He was on a SPIRITUAL HIGH, he was on a roll, and ...read more
