Encourage believers to stand firm in their faith, regardless of worldly pressures, drawing strength from the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.

Good morning, family! Today we’re diving into an incredible story from the Book of Daniel, Chapter 3.

Scripture For the past few weeks we have been studying Romans 12:1-2. In Romans 12 the Apostle Paul begins applying the doctrine that he has been teaching for the previous 11 chapters.

How We Should Draw Close To The Lord

For example, many think the Bible condemns people for having money. The Bible does not! HOWEVER, ...read more

Contending For The Faith

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 10, 2025

I told the Lord when I was preparing this sermon that he was going to get me in trouble because I am going to be stepping on some toes in this sermon.

But I also told Him I love Him, and I am willing to preach whatever will please Him. Today I will be preaching on BIBLICAL SEPARATION.

Making Jehosophat Jump

Contributed by David Wilson on Oct 2, 2008
