This will be our third sermon on the Book of Ruth. We have been talking about Naomi, and how she and her husband made a bad decision to leave the Land of Israel and move to Moab due to a famine that came to Israel.

We always have to be careful about making decisions, BUT IT IS ESPECIALLY EASY TO MAKE A BAD DECISION DURING DIFFICULT TIMES. Illus: Many people make bad decisions: • In the midst of a MARITAL CRISIS. People get a divorce, but later they live to regret it • In the midst of a CHURCH CRISIS. People ...read more

The first sermon from the Book of Ruth showed us the effects of sin on a family that did not trust God for their DIRECTIONS or PROVISIONS.

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022

In this scripture passage, I want to show you a family that lived among God’s people, and then due to some hard times, they packed up and moved to Moab.

You might be saying, “So what!” people move from one city to another all the time! That is correct, but anytime we find something in the Word of God, it is there for a reason.

The Book Of Revelation (Revelation 16)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 20, 2022

John now describes the vial judgments that come from God on a world that is worshiping Satan as God.

As strange as the judgments appear, these are actual events that happen on the earth just prior to the return of Jesus to set up the Kingdom of God on earth. It is believed these vial judgments probably begin about 6 months before His coming. I believe the judgments span the last 6 months or so ...read more

That announcement is made when this seventh vial is poured out on the inhabitants of the earth and the Lord says, IT IS DONE!
