The Storm Of Fear Series

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Feb 8, 2023

Why does God allow storms in our lives? To teach us that we need Him every day and every hour of our lives. Storms don't just gradually, progressively come. "Thus saith God, 'a storm is coming to you'". Storms happen just like that, like lightning out of a blue sky.

Who Are You When You Are By Yourself?

Contributed by Rick Gillespie- Mobley on Mar 19, 2023

This sermon deals with Peter’s three denials of Jesus and how easy it can become for us to deny Christ by wanting to fit in with the crowd around us. More than ever believers need to refuse to compromise their faith.

The Empty Vessel Series

Contributed by Perry Fowler on Mar 27, 2023

The Emptiness of Jesus was not only good; it was necessary.

A bright glowing light and bell goes off alerting me that I’d better stop ...read more

Judas The Coin Collector

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 30, 2022

Sometimes we take life much too seriously. Life is to be taken seriously, but some folks are so serious they can not enjoy life.

If we are going to enjoy life, we have to have a sense of humor. God has a sense of humor. I know some folks have the idea that God sits up in heaven and never cracks a smile. But I do not believe that, I sincerely believe God looks down upon what He has created and has the same kind of joy ...read more

The Book Of Mark # 12

Preaching From Philippians (1 Of 8)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 31, 2022

In Paul’s writings, his greetings varied from church to church. He made the greetings fit the church he was addressing and the things he wanted to talk about.

For example, when he wrote to the Corinthians he stated that he was an Apostle in his greetings. Look at 1 Cor. 1:1 “Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother.” He did not mention that he was an Apostle in his address to the Philippians! He ...read more

Are You Fit To Be Tied? Part Iv

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 1, 2022

These days we often hear the question, "Why are there so many divorces?" The answer to that question is found in the Word of God. It is because of sin.

All across this nation we have lost our fear of sin. Fear will cause us to protect ourselves and avoid what is harmful to us. Illus: Most of us have a real healthy fear of snakes. This is a healthy fear because it keeps us from being harmed. If we were not afraid of snakes we might carry them ...read more
