Preaching From Philippians #3

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 31, 2022

In the last sermon, we dealt with Paul stating that whether he lived or died, his purpose for living was for the Lord Jesus.

When he wrote to the Philippian church, he was in prison. In prison he knew that he faced a capital crime and that he might be executed. If you were in prison and you thought that you might die, what kind of letter would you write? We do not have to guess at what kind of letter the Apostle Paul ...read more

How To Be A Do-Gooder

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 8, 2022

Ted Bundy is well known for one thing; he was a serial killer. He was a nice looking young man and he favored killing pretty, dark-haired cheerleader type girls.

He was a clean-cut serial killer that confessed to 28 killings, but other estimates indicate that he brutally killed as many as 33 to 100 female victims during the 1970's. After numerous appeals, ...read more

Restrained Power Series

Contributed by Fred Sigle on May 20, 2024

A study of the Beatitudes. Jesus begins His sermon on the mount answering the question: "What will it take to make you happy?" His answer, however, is far different from the way most people will answer. In fact, his answers appear to bring sorrow, not happiness.

PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS: RESTRAINED POWER A. Walk up to a group of BOYS playing basketball or baseball and ask what quality each of them would like to possess, and you’ll get answers like: “To run fast.” “To jump high.” “To be strong.” 1. Not a single one of them would answer, “I’d like ...read more

30. Romans Chapter 7 Verses 7-14 - Messages In Romans – Gentiles Are Not Part Of Chapter 7 – Not The Battle Of The Two Natures - Message 30 Part 2 Of 3 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 15, 2025

The Law is examined here – the Law is holy and it is spiritual. Romans 7 is about a man under the Law trying to meet the standards of the Law but is defeated by his own sinfulness. Our verses bring this out. It has nothing to do with the Christian and his new nature fighting the old nature.
