    Waiting is one of the hardest things we are called to do. And sometimes our expectations get skewed in the meantime.

    Passage: Matthew 11:1-6 Intro: There are few things in the human experience as intense as waiting for something. 1. It seems like we spend our whole lives waiting to grow up, for our birthdays, our graduation, our marriage, our kids and our grandkids. 2. and of course, we wait in incredible ...read more

    My grandchildren sometimes play with a Jack-in-a-box. Sometimes we want a JESUS-IN-A-BOX too. We want Him to fit into our pre-conceived ideas of who He should be and how He should act.

    Part 1 - Matthew 11:2-6 - JESUS-IN-A-BOX! I get the privilege and opportunity to speak to many old people in the course of my day. Being a chaplain and Pastor in an aged care facility (fancy name for old people’s nursing home) I am fascinated by the amazing lives that they have led. Last week I ...read more

    A look at John the Baptist's astonishing admission of doubt about who Jesus is and why we often have similar doubts.

    OUR COMPLAINT: “This is not what I signed up for.” - Matthew 11:2a – John in prison. - I cannot read the mind of John, but I can’t help but believe that a prison cell was the last place he expected to end up. - He is the great prophet of God, the forerunner of the ...read more

    Desperation And Transformation

    There are too many people in our churches today who want to follow Jesus and yet they reject the Bible. We need to be desperate for more of God.

    Back in the 1990’s a friend of mine pioneered church in Liberty, Missouri called Desperation Church. In 1995 Marie Barnett wrote the song Breathe, the chorus says, “I’m desperate for you.” Searching the music libraries of CCLI, there are at least 50 songs with the word “desperate” in the title. ...read more

    We go there some times in times of desperation, sometimes just because we do, maybe the ememy whispers doubts into our ear, but we go there, believe see and hear what the Lord is doing, and be blessed as you remain in him!

    The Beatitudes wrap up, the Baptist doubts! Blessings, what a wonderful thing it is to receive a blessing! Over the last couple of months we have looked through the beatitudes those blessings that Jesus talked about, we looked at the whole way in which he talked about these beatitudes, which are ...read more

    IN MATTHEW 11:1-6 JOHN THE BAPTIST SEEMED TO BE DISCOURAGED. THIS SAME GREAT MAN OF GOD IS THE ONE WHO SAID: THIS IS THE LAMB OF GOD WHO TAKES AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD. YET WHEN HE WAS UNFAIRLY PUT IN JAIL HE SEEMS TO DOUBT THE LAMB'S IDENTITY. ALL OF US GO THROUGH MOMENTS OF DISCOURAGEMENT. WHEN ...read more

    God have mercy on those who persecute, deny, blast our Lord Jesus and put some dead god's word in the mind of children. Why do most deny Jesus? Why do some look for other gods? I have said many times when you put the truth in the face of a heathen , th

    Jesus didn't fit John's idea of what the Messiah would be like. Jesus stressed love rather than judgment. Jesus moves in surprising ways and communicates God's grace in unexpected situations.

    Matthew 11:2-11 “Different Expectations” INTRODUCTION The family gathers around the newborn’s bassinette. They marvel at this squirming gift of life, and give thanks for health and wholeness. As they gaze upon the baby’s features they wonder what the child will ...read more

    Encouragement for those times when, like John the Baptist, we have become frustrated and disappointed when God didn't work in the way we hoped or prayed about.

    BELOVED PASTOR, D. L. MOODY, ONCE REMARKED THAT, “THE BEST WAY TO SHOW THAT A STICK IS CROOKED IS NOT TO ARGUE ABOUT IT OR TO SPEND TIME DENOUNCING IT, BUT TO LAY A STRAIGHT STICK ALONGSIDE IT.” IT IS HUMAN NATURE TO QUESTION AND TO BE SKEPTICAL OF FACTS, FIGURES OR ANY TYPE OF ...read more

    John’s Question

    Contributed by Dan Finch on Dec 25, 2010
     | 7,905 views

    Everybody wants to be a winner and be on the winning team. John the baptizer was afraid that he was mistaken about Jesus because he saw him headed toward a cross. We are still a lot like John. Following Jesus is often not about winning.

    It’s hard to be sure when you are in pain It’s easy to be confident when things are going well – when you are young, strong – LeBron James for instance, went on TV and had a whole show just to say that he was going to the Miami Heat.
