Sermons on Ways Of God:

God’s Deliverance

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 24, 2022

Often when we face the difficulties of life, we try to make sense out of what we are facing. But what frustrates us at times like this is that IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE!

For example, when the terrorists struck the Trade Towers in New York City, and the Pentagon, on Sept. 11, 2001, the pundits put their heads together and tried to make sense of why anyone would want to kill thousands of innocent people. They could only reach the conclusion that Osama Bin Laden and ...read more

Do You Know Where You Are? Series

Contributed by Doug Fannon on Jun 4, 2018

With GPS we can know within 1 foot of where we are on planet Earth. But do we know where we are with God? Sin blinds us to our location and prevents us from know the way, but it is God who seeks us and asks us "where are you?"

How many of you know what this is? (hold up a paper/fold out road map). We use to navigate all of the country with these. Now we have our smart phones with GPS (Global Positioning System) GPS systems have become very cost efficient and everyone , it seems, has access to one. The satellite system ...read more

Live Like The Child God Would Be Proud Of

Seek God’s Will Series

Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Oct 7, 2019

Seeking God's will begins with our learning to think as God wants us to think. From Epaphras' prayer for the Colossians we learn how we need to go about renewing our minds in order to stand firm in all the will of God.

Paul shares with the Colossians that their brother in Christ, who was sent to minister to Paul in prison, Epaphras, was “wrestling in prayer” for them that they might “stand firm in all the will of God.” What did Paul mean by “all the will of God?” He was saying we should seek to be in God’s will ...read more

God Is Not A God Of Confusion

Contributed by Michael Stark on Sep 7, 2023

We must not imagine that the confusion roiling western culture is because of God. Having rejected the Lord, civilization is confused, and without hope of being set right without God's merciful intervention.

“God is not a God of confusion but of peace.” [1] We live in a world that is increasingly confused—confused about society, confused about the role of government, confused about the sexes, confused about God. And I could undoubtedly go on about the confusion that reigns in our world. Confusion ...read more

God Is A God Of Goodness

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 30, 2022

Any time people are special in our lives, we want to tell others about them.

This is why we Christians tell others about the GOD OF THE BIBLE AND HIS LOVE AND GOODNESS. The reason some do not talk more about the God of the Bible than they do is because they really do not know Him well enough to talk about Him!
