    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

     | 726 views

    Biblical obedience. Daily surrender. Sacrificial love. Passionate evangelism. Unashamed holiness. These are not lofty, elite-level Christian goals—they are the standard Jesus set. The normal Christian life, in Jesus’ eyes, is anything but lukewarm.

    Go! And Live What Jesus Expected Revelation 3:15-16 (NLT): "I know all the things you do, that you are neither hot nor cold. I wish that you were one or the other! But since you are like lukewarm water, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth!" Introduction: Setting the ...read more

    I remember as a kid watching the TV series called "KUNG FU" staring David Caradine. The blind Master Po (Keye Luke) calls his young student "GRASSHOPPER" to "EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED". We are not grasshoppers but we are called to BEWARE.

    Part 14 - Matthew 10:18-19 - GRASSHOPPER, EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED! A friend of mine works as a boilermaker in Bowen, Queensland Australia. He is a big man with muscles like an Olympic weight lifter, a voice that booms and a laugh that is full and infectious. PATRICK PATTERSON loves the Lord and if ...read more

    1. Jesus equated the ministry of the His kingdom with farming in Mark 4:1-20 where He said, "The farmer sows the seed along the path, where the word is sown.

    As John the Baptist sat in prison, staring at the end of his life, he started to wonder if Jesus was everything that he expected Jesus to be. See how Jesus answers that question and continues to answer our questions when we might doubt if God is really all that we hoped him to be.

    When a man comes before the Lord and bows down before Him, there is an expectation from God. Your coming before God should be that which pleases God.

    Micah 6: 6 - 8 6 With what shall I come before the Lord and bow myself before God on high? Shall I come before Him with burnt Offerings, with calves a year old?

    An Easter Sermon

    Contributed by Martin Ellgar on Dec 12, 2014
     | 6,688 views

    A perspective on Easter. When one is spiritually exhausted and even physically exhausted from wrestling with God in prayer, then there is only one way to go. That is, to surrender to the will of God and say, “Not my will, but your will be done”.
