    Contributed by Stephen Colaw on Sep 1, 2003
    based on 74 ratings
     | 13,239 views

    The church must allow God to break our hearts and prepare us spiritually if we are to expect him to pour out revival upon us.

    Crime, Correction and Covenant Texts: Hosea 4:1, 5:14-6:1, 6:3, 10:11-12 Introduction: Your Honor, the jury finds the defendant, the church of the 20th century, guilty on all counts and recommends corrective action be taken.

    based on 16 ratings
     | 6,256 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

    Are you ready to drop everything and follow Jesus? That’s exactly what He’s expecting when He asks "Follow Me?"

    Let’s Go Fishing 18 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. 19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and ...read more

    Pretenders

    Contributed by Craig Benner on Feb 15, 2014
     | 4,732 views

    Without dissimulation. That simply means open, transparent, and honest. Whether is be in love or business, that is what God expects from us in all of our dealings.

    PRETENDERS Gibeonites --Joshua 9 motivated by fear pretension cannot be equated with love. The deceit was used to make a league with Israel. The vow was unwise, but it was considered official and had to be honored. A wrong relationship now has become obligatory and thus, will have its ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,450 views

    A look at the personal resentments that we hold onto as well as how God expects us to change to see those people the way He does.

    WHAT GOD BELIEVES: We want God’s actions to line up with our pre-existing beliefs. - We want God to work within the confines of our pre-existing beliefs and values. We don’t want to have to go through the hard work of changing what we think and believe. - We want to love God and be a ...read more

    Priority Of Concern Series

    Contributed by Wayne Mock on Feb 4, 2011
     | 5,789 views

    People can have many priorities. Jesus expects His followers to have priorities based on His value system, not the value system of the world.

    There are many things in life about which we can be concerned. We can be concerned about the weather – when will it be warmer? We can be concerned about the economy – especially if we are being directly affected by the recession. One’s health is also a matter of concern to many people. This ...read more

    As we approach the New Year, are there things that you are willing to change? You cannot do the same things, the same way, and expect things to change.

    Looking to 2011 Matthew 14:22-14:32 Wow! Where did this Christmas go? Most people are done opening presents and most will get back to normal routine. Unless… you are like the ...read more

    based on 4 ratings

    Jesus' entry into Jerusalem while seated on a donkey demonstrates that he is not the Messiah that the people expect. Jesus is a Messiah who comes in love and rules by love.

    Mark 11:1-11 “Palm Sunday—Two Parades” INTRODUCTION We are back to where we started—at the beginning of the final week of Jesus’ life on earth. We have watched and listened as the conflict between Jesus and the Jewish religious leaders escalated. We have ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,547 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.

     | 3,733 views

    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
