Contributed by Derek Geldart on Jul 31, 2021

Construction Site Or Warzone?

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Aug 25, 2021

God is calling the church to rebuild after the Corona Virus pandemic lock-downs. Any church that rebuilds becomes a construction site, which is a warzone for spiritual battle. This message can be re-worked for a building program.

Last week I mentioned how I believe that God is calling us to rebuild our fellowship after a series of setbacks. This means that our church is currently sitting smack dab in the middle of a spiritual construction site. I remember how I once pastored a church where we built a multipurpose ...read more

The Gentle Encourager Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 16, 2021

Jesus intended to conquer, but not like any other conqueror who had ever lived. His method was sheer folly to the world and still is today, but Jesus goes on reigning while the mighty mock him and then disappear into the dust of oblivion.

Bushman was a small time actor in Chicago, but Reichenback was able to get his salary raised to a commanding figure. He took Bushman to New York and carried 2000 pennies in ...read more

Felix Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Mar 11, 2022

Felix represents many people intrigued by the gospel but recognizes that surrendering to it means losing status, power, or control of their own lives. Mere exposure to truth does not necessarily enlighten the heart, and Felix is an excellent example of that.

Felix Felix was Festus' predecessor. He imprisoned Paul but allowed him to speak in his defense. He hoped Paul would offer him a bribe, but he never did. Festus thought Paul was delusional, but he did not think that was cause for putting him to death or locking him up, so he let him ...read more

Acts Of The Apostles (20 Of 39)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022

Today we enjoy the freedom we have in America, and think very little about the men and women who bought and paid for it!

Illus: It is easy for me to understand why some of the old soldiers who faced death itself, some even lost legs, eyes, arms, etc., become angry when they see people who have done nothing to win, or keep, their freedom, wanting to burn the symbol of that freedom, the flag. Well, that is not the ...read more

Acts Of The Apostles (6 Of 39)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022

At the beginning of the third chapter of Acts, the story of the glorious healing of the man who had been lame from birth is recorded.

This man was a picture of the sinner, who is born spiritually lame. God did an undeniable work in his life, but the ungodly, though religious, would not accept it. It is still the same today. God does great things, and still ungodly men will not accept what He does, and can do, for mankind. ...read more

Eagle Christians

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 18, 2022

In 1 Samuel we have the very exciting story of David and Goliath. From the human viewpoint, this was the biggest mismatch that has ever occurred.

Illus: If any of you watch professional boxing, you know that the weight of the boxers has to be within a few pounds, or they are not allowed to fight each other. They would not think of putting a "feather" weight, weighing just a little more than a hundred pounds, in the ring with a ...read more

The Christians Constant Battle With The Devil

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 4, 2022

The story is told of a boxer who was in the fight of his life. From the very first round, he was getting hit from every direction you can imagine.

• After the first round, he returned to his corner with his nose bleeding. But his manager wanted to encourage him so he said, “Good fight champ, he never laid a glove on you!” • After the second round he returned to his corner with his nose still bleeding and now he had a black eye. But again, his ...read more

He That Winneth Souls Is Wise No. 15

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 31, 2022

Years ago the Hallmark Card Company used to advertise extensively on television.

They would show samples of the beautiful cards they produce and close each commercial with these words for potential buyers to consider, "When you CARE enough to send the VERY BEST!" The message was clear, even to children, that if you really CARED for someone you would be willing to ...read more

No Cross… No Crown

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 5, 2023

In our text today this is a conditional promise.

Notice the condition on which this promise is made. The Lord said, if we are faithful unto death, He would give us a CROWN OF LIFE. He did NOT say, “If you are faithful a few short weeks, months or years I will give thee a Crown of Life”. The promise is made to those who are faithful unto ...read more

Message 16 - 1 Thessalonians Chapter 5:21 – Examine Carefully And Hold Fast To What Is Good – No Excuses! Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jan 7, 2023

We live in a world today where all the boundaries have been blurred and are increasingly, becoming blurred. We have no fixed point for marriage, no correct lines for morality, no division of good or bad in gender or behaviour or attitudes. We examine what GOOD is. Do good to all.
