    Elijah: The Unpredictable Will Of God Series

    We never get what we expect or deserve, we get what we need for spiritual growth, and we recieve grace and mercy.

    Wouldn’t it have been easier if God just would’ve have simply killed Ahab and Jezebel and replaced them with a Godly king and queen? If I was advising Elijah on these matters that’s what I would have advised him to pray for. I mean a drought is a painful thing, no rain for 3 ½ years is bad. ...read more

    King Herod's Early Release Program Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,458 views

    No one, not a single person in this story expects Peter to be released. Not Herod, not the guards, not the people of the church, not even Peter himself. Still, God answers the prayer.

    Sometimes we misinterpret the purpose of prayer. The response we expect isn’t necessarily the response we get. Anyone else experience that?

    Immature and legalistic believers can be very nitpicky, so how far does God expect us to bend when we encounter these situations?

    Romans 14:11-23 Introduction: A. Where do we draw the line in being sensitive to other’s interpretations of the Bible or to their traditions when they conflict with our own? How do we handle those things the Bible is silent on? B. Do we have to change our lifestyle or beliefs on some matter ...read more

    Palm Sunday text that teaches that we must expect to encounter the risen Christ this day and even find Him in the most unlikely of places and faces.

    “Welcoming the King” – Matthew 21:1-11 There is a lot of buzz surrounding the upcoming Royal Wedding. I realized that there are many people only a few years younger than myself who have no memory of the wedding of Prince Charles and Princess Diana. We Americans have always had an ...read more

     | 2,965 views

    Why do you pray if you don’t expect God to hear and answer? Faith is the key to approaching God in a way that pleases Him.

    March 8, 2009 Morning Worship Text: Hebrews 11:6 Subject: Faith Title: Exploring the Possibilities We were over at church praying on Friday morning at our normal prayer time, Alice, Frances, Melanie and I were there, and even though it was our normal prayer time it was far from being a normal ...read more

    How we as adults reflect on our past sin influences the children in our lives, to expect censure or approval when they sin in similar ways.

    What my dad should not have taught me Genesis 26:1-12 My father has told me many stories. Most of them took place before he became a Christian, because I can remember his life since then. Some of these stories have elements of sin in them. My father and all fathers must ask this question: Does ...read more

    A sermon based on the Pentecost story. God grabs our attention, gives us tools to get something done, then expects us to do it.

    The Tools of Pentecost Acts 2:1-4 Introduction The popular Christian author, J.S. Baxter, once said “What God chooses, He cleanses. What God cleanses, He molds. What God molds, He fills.

    based on 16 ratings
     | 6,145 views

    Do we get used to the things that God does for us? I think so. It is easy just to expect everything as if we earnd it somehow.

    So, what have you done for me lately? John 6:25-6:35 The story is told of two old friends bumped into one another on the street one day. One of them looked forlorn, almost on the verge of tears. His friend asked, "What has the world done to you, my old friend?" The sad fellow said, "Let me tell ...read more
