    Be Careful What You Pray For

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 30, 2022
     | 3,254 views

    We have to remind many people to pray because the devil will see to it that our lives are filled with people and things so we do not have time to even think about praying.

    But some of us do not have to be reminded because there are all kinds of emergencies that come up each day that remind us to pray. Illus: A mother and her five year old son were headed to McDonald's. On the way they passed a car accident. Whenever the mother saw something terrible like that, ...read more

    The book of Acts is one of the most exciting books of the Bible.

    For example, in Acts 16 we see Paul and Barnabas placed in prison. Notice, in verses 20b - 21, what they were charged with - "...These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city, and teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romans." Paul and ...read more

    Are You Fit To Be Tied Part V

     | 1,241 views

    In the 1992 presidential election, family values became one of the main issues when the candidates began campaigning.

    Immediately the liberals made such mockery of bringing it up that the subject was dropped and barely mentioned any more, because the anti-family people made it seem that they were in the majority. The politicians who were for family values, realized that if they were going to stand a chance of ...read more

    Are You Fit To Be Tied? Part I

     | 1,385 views

    In the 1992 presidential race FAMILY VALUES were mentioned time and time again.

    Liberals across the land stated repeatedly that family values would not play any part in choosing their candidate. Such a statement is incomprehensible. When we hear liberals, across the land, state that family values are not important in a presidential election, we want to say, “Will you please ...read more

    What A Friend We Have In Jesus

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 6, 2022
     | 3,285 views

    There are a number of things that a preacher might hear after he preaches a sermon. Some of these things are pleasant and some of them are not.

    Some will say: • "I am going to be late for lunch because you preached so long." • "You must not have had much time to prepare that sermon." • "My former pastor preached a much better sermon from that text." • "You acted like you weren't feeling well while you ...read more

    Eschatology 1 Of 16 The Rapture Of The Church

     | 6,606 views

    I want you to pay very close attention today as we examine this scriptural passage that we will be reading from.

    We hope these exciting things we are going to be reading about will take place during our life time, but if not during our life time, we know they will take place in the life of some Believers who will be living on the earth. Beloved, I am talking about the RAPTURE OF THE BELIEVERS! IS THE ...read more

    The Suffering Servant Of The Lord Series

    You can’t really appreciate the cross if you don’t know how bad you are every day, how guilty. The cross doesn’t mean anything if you’re a good person, comfortable and at ease with yourself. Do you know how much you need the work of Christ?

    Imagine what it was like for the Ethiopian man in Acts 8. He’s traveling south through the countryside, having just been to Jerusalem to worship. He’s a foreigner, but he’s devoted to the Israelite faith—for he knows it is God’s truth! Now on his way home, the LORD is still very much on his mind. ...read more

    What Did You Get For Christmas?

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 23, 2021
     | 2,761 views

    The secularists today are doing everything they can do to wipe out the meaning of Christmas. They would like to make it so that the name of Christ can not be mentioned at ANYTIME at ANYPLACE.

    The secularist will not be happy until they: • Remove every nativity scene from public properties • Remove God’s name from the pledge of allegiance • Remove God’s name from every coin • Remove every Christmas carol that talks about God from the schools • Remove all the Christian drama from ...read more

    Armageddon has been misunderstood by most christians, simply because we haven't understand the theme of the whole conflict that began in heaven. A simple look into this will reveal the clear meaning of the Armageddon.

    “The Battle of Armageddon” By Ernesto Illingworth The Context and background Assumptions in regards to biblical matters are very frequent. Armageddon is not the exception. Armageddon has been regarded as a battle that soon will take place at middle East, others think about this as a nuclear ...read more

    In this message we begin (this is part one) unpacking Philippians 4:1 (and some of the verses around it) which teach us us how to stand firm in the Lord.

    Jesus is no mirage, and His resurrection proves it. Jesus gives us the living water of life. He is the oasis that replaces the mirages of this world. Therefore, let's quit falling for the fake, and start living the truth of God through Christ Jesus our Lord.

    Christ is No Mirage Isaiah 35:7 Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQefljIpico If I could put a subtitle to today’s message, it would be, “The World’s Mirage verses The Reality of Christ.” As this new year began, the Lord pointed me to present a two-part message revealing how the Cities of ...read more

    Reversing The Curse . . . And Then Some! Series

     | 2,727 views

    Did you know that all men die for Adam's sin? It's a biblical concept taught clearly in Romans 5:12-21. In the same way, all men who receive Christ's gift live by Christ's one act of righteousness.

    Well, as we all well know, we have reached 2022. And we’ve had a couple tough years as a human race. I remember well in 2020 how many were claiming that was the worst year in recent memory—the worldwide pandemic had shut down much of the world, there was tremendous social unrest in the U.S. and ...read more

    What can Peter teach us about how to live the Christian life when the government persecutes us?

    The Christian and Governmental Authority 1 Peter 2:13-17 Introduction In the USA, where I live, there is no more odious word in the English language than “submission.” No one here wants to submit.

    The Secret Of Contentment

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,742 views

    For many people, Philippians 4:13 is their favourite message, but they never look at the verses preceding that verse of following it. This message looks at what true contentment is.

    It’s a favourite verse for many people. It’s a verse that gets claimed when we are in difficult situations. When we are trying new things. A verse for those times when we are attempting the difficult, the improbable, and the impossible. But for too many people, it is more a motivational statement ...read more

    We need to get rid of the ill-fitting fashion, or armor, that we’ve tried to squeeze into that’s strangling the life out of us. We need to be who we are in Christ, and utilize our own special equipping. This is what David decided was best.

    Have you ever felt as though you don’t quite know where God wants to use you, and you often feel awkward where you’re presently serving? Perhaps it’s because you’ve been pushed into an area of service that doesn’t suit how the Lord has made you and equipped you, and who you really are inside. ...read more
