     | 5,278 views

    Are we waiting in eager expectation for the gift of the Spirit? A heavy re-work of a much earlier sermon from many years ago, which is looking to provoke a change in peoples perspectives.

    In the Name of the living God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen. Very, very occasionally I will head off somewhere on a train, and as I look around the platform, it doesn’t take too long to see that there is a difference between how adults and children wait for its arrival.

    Living While Waiting

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 5, 2025
     | 127 views

    Because the Day of the Lord will come suddenly, our anticipation of that Day must shape this day—so we strive to be holy, think rightly, watch carefully, and grow steadily.

    Introduction This morning we’re reading the final words of Peter’s final letter to the church. His burden is simple and weighty: that we live holy lives that honor the Lord Jesus and are not swept away by the immorality, false teaching, and scoffing around us. How do we do that in a world soaked ...read more

    We all talk and sing about the Lord's return and the establishment of the Kingdom. But how do we live this hope out?

    How do We Anticipate the Kingdom? Romans 15:1-13 We live a life of expectation. In the Evangelical churches, we are busily occupied in the task of examining the prophecy of Scripture to determine if this is the season that the Lord will return. We don’t all agree on the particular order of events, ...read more

    As we bid farewell to this year, will we be filled with joy or regret? Will we face the future with anticipation or dread? This sermon encourages us to embrace the New Year with joy and anticipation.

    When this year is over, will we look back with joy or regret? Will we face the future with anticipation or dread? Today, I want to share a passage from Ephesians 5:15-17 that can guide us as we approach the rest of this year. The Apostle Paul offers some important lessons for us to consider. ...read more

    The reality is advent is only distantly related to Christmas. It was celebrated long before Christmas in the church.

    TITLE: THE HOPE THAT TRANSFORMS SCRIPTURE: ROMANS 8:24-25 All eyes in Christendom have turned upon celebrating Christmas. In fact, this is what many Christians make of Advent, if they have even heard of it or think of it at all. The reality is advent is only distantly related to Christmas. It was ...read more

    With Peter in prison, the church prayed continually for his release. When God answered their prayers, they lacked faith to believe. We can overcome in Christ, but we must possess faith to believe the Lord will provide.

    Detained but not Defeated Acts 12: 1-16 Our text deals with an intense time for the early church. God was clearly at work, and the church was growing. Thousands had been saved by the grace of God and the church’s influence was spreading. Such growth created much concern for the religious ...read more

    As Jesus came into the area of Gennesaret, word quickly spread that He had arrived. The entire region sought Him, bringing the sick unto Him by faith. We need to spread the word about Jesus, and point others to Him.

    Blessings in Bethsaida Mark 6: 53-56 Our text today immediately follows the miraculous, and yet frightening night the disciples had spent upon the sea. While we too would likely have responded much the same or worse, we cannot overlook their lack of faith. Jesus had commanded them to get into the ...read more

    Simeon is easily overlooked in the account of Christ’s birth. This should not be, as he was the first person to die in the Faith.

    “There was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was righteous and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ. And he came in ...read more

    Finding peace during a struggle, is like trying to find calm in a hurricane. But just like there is calm in the eye of the hurricane, we can find peace and calm right in the middle of our struggles.

    Illustration by James Chandler It started as a slip up during a prayer before a church softball game. The minister was leading everyone in prayer. As he closed in prayer he accidently said, "In Jesus’ name we play." That phrase caught on and soon others were praying before softball games ...read more
