Commit Your Plans Series

Since things have come from the Lord, men cannot overrule their responsibility in planning, and involving in their daily activities. No one could simply sit at ease and tell himself that God would plan for me and execute everything for me. Commit your plans.

There’s More With Us, Than With Them

Contributed by John Gaston on Jun 24, 2021

God people often look weak and vulnerable when compared to the great powers and institutions of the world, but that's not true! The greatest power lies with the Church! God has an invisible army around us.

THERE’S MORE WITH US, THAN WITH THEM 2 Kgs. 6:16 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: DOING A GOOD DEED 1. A young pastor (trying to live a holy life) was sitting in a restaurant eating lunch.

Positive Escapism Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 27, 2021

Jesus makes it clear that there is a time to take your stand, and there is also a time to retreat from your enemy so that you can be in control, and not at the mercy of the enemies choices.

Some of history's greatest battles have been won by means of retreat. The 13 colonies won the first day of battle with England in the Revolutionary War because of a wise retreat. When Captain John Parker saw several hundred British Redcoats marching on the double toward his 70 or so ...read more

Christ In The Midst Of The Church Series

Christ is to be the reason and the center of the church. Christ is the center of the church and it's mission.

CHRIST IN THE MIDST Illustrations Years ago a tornado destroyed a little church on the coast of England. The congregation was too poor to replace it.

"...he Shall Receive A Reward"

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 13, 2021

In chapters one and two, the apostle Paul laid the foundation for us to build our Christian lives on. WHAT A FOUNDATION HE LAID! That foundation is Christ.

Paul is not bashful in the slightest about telling us about the Lord. Look at Colossians 2:10. We read, “And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power.” These false teachers had been trying to tell people that Christ is not sufficient within Himself, but Paul says ...read more

The Purpose Of Living

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 15, 2021

Every one of us has a purpose for living – EVERY ONE!

Illus: Even the hobo on skid row has a purpose for living. WHAT IS HIS PURPOSE FOR LIVING? Everyday his purpose for living is to DRINK ALL THE BOOZE HE CAN GET FOR THAT DAY! And when he wakes up the next day the process starts all over again. Illus: One man had a goal in life. He was going to ...read more

The Law Written On Hearts

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Jul 19, 2021

I don't think any of us can say we’ve kept the ten commandments without fail and attained spiritual and moral perfection.

Alba 7-18-2021 THE LAW WRITTEN ON HEARTS Romans 2:12-16 There is a story about a little boy who had been attending Sunday school and had the same teacher for many years.

Five Ways God Speaks To Us (John 1:1-18) Series

Contributed by Bob Marcaurelle on Aug 19, 2021

We have no idea "who" or even "what" God is. We cannot get to Him but He comes to us through creation; conscience; chosen people and their Bible; Christ and Conversion. Until we are converted we know ABOUT God but we don't know God personally.

GOD’S BEST WORD TO US John 1:1-18 Bob Marcaurelle bmarcaurelle@charter.net (Writing in the AD 90’s to counteract the teachings that Jesus could not be both God and man. John shows us how God reveals Himself to us through creation, conscience, contacts with individuals and the chosen people and ...read more

The Hunchback

Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 19, 2022

Many people are emotionally crippled and don't even realize it. Jesus saw a woman's suffering and showed the compassion of God by healing her. He called her to Himself. God is still the healer today! Ends with a modern healing story.

THE HUNCHBACK Luke 13:10-17 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. While taking a law class in personal injury litigation, I got into a car accident and had to wear a cervical collar. Two weeks later, I tripped over a wire and ended up on crutches. 2. When I hobbled into class shortly after these mishaps, ...read more

The Armor Of God 7 Of 8

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 24, 2022

The reason many of us like to study on the Armor of God is because Paul does not just tell us to run for the hills. He also tells us what we are to do once we get to the hills.

He tells us in this passage of scripture how we can DEFEND OURSELVES and how we can DEFEAT SATAN. One of the obvious problems it seems among Christians today is that they are not aware they are at war with Satan. Illus: A lady was talking with another lady on her job about attending church with ...read more

Why Christians Do Not Continue In Sin (2of 3)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 24, 2022

A man who had been sick was recently asked how he was feeling.

He responded by saying that he was not feeling good. He went on to say, “In fact. I felt so bad this morning, that I looked in the obituary column to see if my name was there.” He said this as a joke, but the fact is, many Christians have not yet come to understand that their name is in the ...read more

He’s All Around Me 3 Of 3

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 25, 2022

We have been looking at some of the things the Bible teaches about the wonderful God we serve.

There are some folks who speak of Him as the “Man upstairs”. Any time you hear someone refer to Almighty God like this, it is safe to assume they do not know the first thing about God. God is not a MAN and he does not have human attributes like mankind with limitations. WHAT KIND OF GOD IS HE? ...read more

He’s All Around Me 2 Of 3

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 25, 2022

In a previous sermon, as we examined the God of this Bible, we discovered God’s Omniscience.

God knows all things. His knowledge is infinite (unlimited) where ours is very limited. Speaking of having limited knowledge, sometimes it is more noticeable in some folks. Illus: For example, a man says to God: • "God, why did you make a woman so beautiful?" God says: "So you ...read more

The Book Of Joshua 8 Of 9

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 26, 2022

As we come to Chapter 10, Joshua has been in the leadership position for some time.

Since that time, they have crossed Jordan and they had only two setbacks. 1. THE PEOPLE OF AI They had a tremendous victory at Jericho, but because God had told them not to partake of any of their possessions, and Achan disobeyed that command, they suffered a major setback at Ai. But we need to ...read more

Breaking Down The Barriers Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Aug 28, 2020

We see how God orchestrated a divine appointment between Cornelius and Peter through separate visions, to accomplish His purpose of reaching the Gentiles.
