Com Out, Come Out, Wherever You Are!

Contributed by David Nolte on Mar 27, 2022

We will learn that one cannot hide from God but that one can run to Him.

I suppose we all have played hide and seek. Some of you – or us – still look for a hiding place when our wives make a list of some major tasks – for us – like vacuuming the carpet, or emptying the dishwasher, or taking out the trash, or picking up socks or putting our clean things in the ...read more

It’s Mine… You Can’t Have It

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 29, 2022

Most adults enjoy being around children because they simply tell it like it is.

He That Winneth Souls Is Wise No. 5

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 31, 2022

In recent weeks we have been preaching about one of the most important things that the Bible teaches from cover to cover, that is, soul winning.

God said, "He that winneth souls is wise." Illus: Below are just a few of the “wise” soul winners of past years. A. Torrey was won to Christ through his mother. George Mueller was won to Christ by a friend. George Whitfield was won to Christ while reading a book. Sam Jones was won ...read more

What Is Spirituality? (5 Of 7)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 1, 2022

We want to look again at this passage of scripture that tells us we should ADD certain things TO OUR FAITH.

In this sermon, we want to see that we should ADD TO OUR FAITH PATIENCE! Illus: Patience gives us a fit in this life! A man noticed a woman in the grocery store with a very hyper three year old girl in her cart. As the mother and her child passed the cookie section, the little girl asked for ...read more

Are You Fit To Be Tied Part Vi

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 1, 2022

In the last five sermons, we have been preaching about marriage, and today we want to focus on a very important subject that God is very concerned about.

We want to preach about children in our marriage. Children can be a blessing, or they can cause much pain. Usually the outcome is directly affected by how much the parents obey God's Word in raising them. Illus: One lady that had three teenagers was asked, "If you had it to do all over ...read more

Rolling Stones

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Apr 2, 2022

One of major problems most people face today are blocked entrances or exits. You see, we’re caught in tombs with stones covering them, and these stones keep us from entering the light of an abundant life Jesus came to give, which is what the resurrection of Jesus is all about.

Rolling Stones Mark 16:1-8 Now, I knew the danger of naming today’s study, “Rolling Stones,” because many of you immediately thought of the English rock band by the same name with Mick Jagger and the crew. Or maybe you also thought about the monthly magazine from the 60’s whose focus was ...read more

The Thessalonians 1 0f 15b (2 Of 2)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 6, 2022

Again, I would like to remind you this is the last chapter in II Thessalonians.

You can sense the love and admiration Paul had for these young Christians in this last chapter. Like a spiritual father that is concerned for his children, he has one more important thing he needs to bring to their attention before he closes his letter. In this text we see... II. HIS ...read more

The Thessalonians # 7

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 6, 2022

A train was full of people on its way to Nashville, TN. Most of the passengers in the train were newspaper reporters as it had been chartered by a large newspaper company in Nashville.

The conductor asked one of the passengers for his ticket. The man did not have his ticket, so he immediately told the conductor he was with the newspaper company. The conductor told him he would have to check with the editor who was riding in the rear of the train. If the editor would verify ...read more

The Blessing

Contributed by Je Layugan on Apr 11, 2022

When something good happened to us or to someone we know, we associate it to blessing, and we feel like blessing others too. So, what blessing really is? What does it mean to be blessed by God?

#Blessed, #IAmBlessed, #GratefultobeBlessed, these are just few of the most popular hashtags on the internet related to blessing. • A guy was promoted in his job and received a bonus amid recession. He is blessed. • A lady received a gift she did not ask. She is blessed. • A family just moved into ...read more

The Birth Of A Church Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021

I don’t know what you think of when you think of evangelism, but evangelism is reason powered by the Holy Spirit. Paul would consistently use the persuasive powers of reason as he talked to people about becoming a follower of Jesus Christ.

We begin a new series today. Our church celebrates its 125th year anniversary. We have some things planned for later this year. We also begin a new book: 1 Corinthians. Many of you may think it odd to begin journey of a book of the Bible and then focus on Acts. Yet, Luke tells us the beginnings of ...read more

Sex And The Christian

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021

The pleasure found in sex is not embarrassing. While the movies portray marital sex as routine and ordinary, the Bible considers the lifetime sexual union between one man and one woman as both sacred and profoundly pleasurable.

Strategy Of Temptation: Undermine God's Authority

Contributed by Michael Mays on Jun 8, 2021

From the very beginning, Satan has been a master at distracting us from pursuing the One whose image we bear.
