    Provoking Thoughts From 1 John (15 Of 16)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 10, 2022
     | 1,802 views

    One of the difficulties the Lord Jesus had in dealing with mankind was getting people to accept Him for Who He was.

    He could have solved that problem by making us all robots. All He would have to do then is push a button and make us believe on Him as our Savior. Illus: That would be a bit like a young man pulling a gun on a beautiful young lady, pointing it in her face, and saying, “Tell me that you love ...read more

     | 1,245 views

    In a previous message we looked at GOD’S PURPOSE IN THE BAD that comes our way.

    When the bad comes our way, we need to remember Romans 8:28. “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” Some folks feel that this scripture is teaching that whatever comes your way, you should scream and shout ...read more

    "I Will Make You Fishers Of Men”

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 2, 2022
     | 2,177 views

    There are some things in the Bible that people sometimes feel they can be justified in saying, “I do not understand what that passage means.”

    In those cases, we feel that God is not going to hold them responsible. However, some passages even the new convert can understand and obey. We know God does hold us responsible, and we will give account for those things we do understand. For example, the Bible clearly teaches that every ...read more

    Counting The Cost

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Jun 23, 2022
     | 2,620 views

    Jesus did not sugarcoat it when He was pointing out that following Him would not be a bed of roses! Being a disciple could not be and cannot be taken lightly because being a disciple is to be totally committed!

    COUNTING THE COST Text: Luke 9:57 -62 Luke 9:57  As they were going along the road, someone said to him, "I will follow you wherever you go." 58  And Jesus said to him, "Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his ...read more

    We live in a land of “creature worshippers”.

    For example... Illus: A seventeen-year-old girl made Elvis Presley not just an entertainer, or a mortal. She made him an idol and she literally worshipped him. It is a matter of record that she has seen his movie: • “LOVE ME TENDER” 107 times. • “LOVING YOU” 110 times. • “KING CREOLE” 91 ...read more

    7. Joseph - Let Down And Lifted Up Series

    Contributed by Bob Marcaurelle on Aug 14, 2023
     | 2,008 views

    Joseph was let down by his family, by a woman he would not be tempted by and by a man he helped. He may have been tempted to see all this as being let down by God, but he didn't. He remained faithful and God raised him up and raised the nation that gave Jesus to you and me.

    From Adam to Malachi Sermon 7 7. JOSEPH- LET DOWN AND LIFTED UP For two long days and nights the eyes and prayers of America turned toward Midland, Texas, where little Jessica McClure lay deep in a well. More than 2,500 years ago, around 1700 B.C., another person found himself deep in a well. ...read more

    There is a book on the market called the Shoot-em up Society by Harry Hollis, Jr. The purpose of the book is to revealed on the cover of the book. We read, “An appeal for Christian alternatives to the insanity of violence.”

    But we do not have to read a book to discover that we live in a violent society. Every day we hear news reports of all kinds of violence around the world. Illus: Death is always sad, but it seems we are troubled the most when a murder has gone on a rampage and shot down innocent people that they ...read more

     | 3,327 views

    Gratitude is not just a simple "Thank You." It's a character trait that should be a vital part of our everyday life.

    We have just finished up with our Easter season. During Holy Week, we reflected on all that Jesus did for us. And we can’t help but to go away with gratitude, being thankful for Jesus doing so much for us. So, I thought I would look into the book of 1 Thessalonians and see what the Bible and the ...read more

    clay pots were used to store treasures, oil, wheat, wine, important documents, what is hidden in your clay pot.

    CLAY POT…YOUR HIDDEN TREASURE You cannot tell the value of something by the package it comes in. Like the treasure of salvation buried in the dirt in the parable that Jesus told, the treasure was so precious that the man sold everything to buy it and a pearl is found in an ugly oyster shell.

    God uses many ways to preach to us: Noah's Dove, Balaam's Donkey, Elijah's Ravens, Simon Peter's Rooster, the Disembodied Hand, Abraham's Ram, and the Angel of No More Time. See what they say to us!
