  • A Fruitful Spirit Series

    Contributed by Bart Leger on Jul 27, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,182 views

    When you see a Christian you expect them to be bearing fruit don’t you? You expect each believer to be winning souls for Christ and training others to serve Him right? Not so sure about that one, huh? The apostle Paul, as he is writing to the Roman Chr

    A Fruitful Spirit “Where’s the beef?” Those of you old enough, do you remember that Wendy’s commercial with the little old lady asking “Where’s the beef?” barely tall enough to see over the counter? That commercial is a commentary on expectations. You go to a fast-food restaurant and they serve ...read more

  • Answer To Prayer Series

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Feb 19, 2008
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,250 views

    God is not some kind of celestial slot machine. You don’t pop in a quarter or two’s worth of prayer, hit a button, and expect to receive exactly what you want. God is not a genie in a bottle. You don’t rub the bottle with your prayer, and expect God to

    Introduction: A fifth grade boy who had heard a sermon on persistence in prayer was praying by himself in his room one night. As his dad passed his door, he heard the boy praying over and over again, "Tokyo, Tokyo, Tokyo." The next day, the dad asked his son what we were doing. The boy replied that ...read more

  • Master Of Every Situation

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on May 20, 2001
    based on 71 ratings
     | 6,950 views

    Paul counters the false expectation of ’prosperity theology’ by giving his readers A Strategy for Living and The Antidote to Self-pity to enable them to be Master of Every Situation.

    MASTER OF EVERY SITUATION I wonder if you’re like me always looking at the barometer - it doesn’t stay in one place very long. Life is very much like that. If I were to draw a graph of my life in terms of feelings and experiences it wouldn’t be a straight line and I suspect many of you would ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 9,056 views

    Jesus displayed the cost of Discipleship in His own Life and Death and followers of Him can expect nothing less than total commitment to God's Kingdom.

    “Foxholes and Followers” Matthew 8:18-23, Luke 14: 25-33 Although we are looking at Matthew 8 today, the context is actually from Isaiah 53: “Surely our griefs, He ...read more

    What do we do when God works differently than we expect or understand? Find out in this sermon from the book of Daniel.

    Intro: What do we do when God works differently than we expect or understand? Everything that we see in the book of Daniel is Daniel trusting God when life doesn’t make sense.

    The Unrelenting Love Of God #LoveIs HEY – anybody out there excited, pumped, grateful for the ‘Reckless Love Of God?’ I would like to begin today by reading some words that God breathed and the Apostle Paul put to paper 2000 years ago to the church in Corinth.

  • Now Therefore Arise

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jan 3, 2023
     | 5,446 views

    Too many in the Church are content with not fulfilling what God has called them to do. This message is about God’s expectations of us.

    Turn with me to Joshua chapter one. Tonight we’re going to look at a chapter that’s very familiar to us. But I want to bring out some things in that chapter for a very specific reason because of what the Lord expects of us. Let’s begin with verse one. (1) Now after the death of Moses the ...read more

  • Is It Really Legalism?

    Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Mar 31, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,722 views

    In many modern churches, legalism is no more than acknowledging that the Lord has given to His Church a body of legislation that He expects to be taught and obeyed.

    During my decades of Christian ministry, the terms “legalism” and “legalist” have progressively been bandied-about within modern churches and their preachers/pastors. These terms have, primarily, been used to describe and condemn those Christians and churches that believe that there is more to ...read more

  • God Of Wonders PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Sep 26, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 103 views

    God’s power and presence remain active today, inviting us to trust Him in hardship, pray boldly, and expect miracles even in ordinary moments.

    Some days faith feels thin as fog. You stand at the kitchen sink with a coffee cup and a knot in your stomach. You sit in the waiting room and study the floor tile as if it could talk back. You lie awake and watch the red glow of the clock turn minutes into miles. In moments like these, we need ...read more

  • The Surrendered Life

    Contributed by Jimmy Giffin on May 4, 2004
    based on 97 ratings
     | 21,018 views

    The Surrendered Life is what God requires. Anything else falls short. If we expect victory we must surrender.

    THE SURRENDERED LIFE Text: Galatians 2 : 20 The word surrender conjures up many pictures. We think of Japan’s surrender at the end of WW II. Maybe we picture the celebrations in Times Square. To some it may be the image of Saddam Hussein and his spider-hole. And to others just a simple wrestling ...read more

  • The Harvest

    Contributed by Carl Allen on Dec 12, 2006
    based on 5 ratings
     | 16,868 views

    The fields are white for harvest. We cannot expect the statistics of saved vs. lost to improve if we do not sow and reap.

    THE HARVEST John 4:35-38 Introduction: We are living in a day when there are more lost souls in the world then there are saved. Statistically, there are 95-100 million unchurched people in the U.S. alone. There are 180-190 million lost souls in the U.S., which do not attend church at all. If ...read more
