God's Power Toward Us Who Believe

Contributed by Mike Bryant on Mar 3, 2021

Love Is A Choice Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 17, 2021

Every choice in life can be evaluated by asking, is this a loving choice? If it is not, it is a bad choice. All sin is a bad choice, for it is a violation of love for God or others. Everything that is right is so, because it is loving.

Missionaries often get into complicated cross-cultural issues. Such was the case of the missionary to Africa who had the chief of a tribe all ready for church membership. Only one barrier blocked the way. The chief had 50 wives, and the church would not admit him to membership until he dismissed ...read more

The Curtain In The Temple

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Apr 27, 2019

Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears ...read more

Here Comes Trouble Again! # 3

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 6, 2022

I am not one who keeps up with the various rock group singers. In fact, I do not believe I could name one rock group that exists today.

What is interesting about these rock groups is how they decide who is going to be the lead singer. Illus: Someone suggested they did it this way. Someone starts off as a guitar player but he can not play. The group then gives him some sticks, puts him in the back, and calls him a drummer. When ...read more

American Idols July 4 Sermon

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 6, 2022

America has become the land of idolatry. But before I make that claim, I need to make sure that I have the right definition of idolatry.

Illus: Dr. Billy Graham says, "We usually think of an idol as a religious figure carved of wood or stone, perhaps in some primitive tribe far removed from civilization. But we have our "idols" today, because an idol is anything that you worship in place of the living God. Some ...read more

They Know Not What They Do

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 29, 2022

We go through life laughing because it helps us through the hard times.

Someone has said, “Laughter is like changing a baby’s diaper--it doesn’t permanently solve any problems, but it makes things more acceptable for a while.” We find ourselves today laughing at many things in life, such as: - WE LAUGH AT JOKES. We all love a good joke and some people just live ...read more

Mary, David, Paul and Margaret teach us to value One Thing above everything else. Indeed that One Thing is the only thing that's essential.

How important is Jesus in your life? QUITE important? VERY important? One of several things that are essential? Or, the ONE THING that is truly essential?

How To Overcome Fear

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 2, 2022

Most Christians enjoy reading passages of scripture that bring comfort to our hearts during difficult times.

A very favorite passage of scripture of mine is Isaiah 41:10. We read, “Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” These are comforting words.
