    "Here is a trustworthy saying: If anyone sets his heart on being an overseer, he desires a noble task."

    Paul used a very interesting phrase five times in his letters to pastors: "Here is a trustworthy saying". Keep in mind that all of God’s Word is trustworthy but Paul is using this phrase to highlight some especially significant teachings. He wants the pastors to emphasize these trusthworthy ...read more

    Throughout His earthly ministry, Jesus consistently defied expectations. Whether it was the religious leaders of the day, the multitudes, or even His own disciples, Jesus was always more than people anticipated.

    The Unexpected Jesus (Sermon 2) Defying Expectations Introduction Today, I want to take you on a journey to explore a profound and often surprising aspect of our Saviour—what I like to call "The Unexpected Jesus." Throughout His earthly ministry, Jesus consistently defied expectations. ...read more

    2 Kings 5:1-8 Now Naaman was commander of the army of the king of Aram. He was a great man in the sight of his master and highly regarded, because through him the LORD had given victory to Aram.

    Palm Sunday- What Do We Expect?

    Contributed by Simon Harrison on Apr 5, 2001
    based on 115 ratings
     | 5,055 views

    A simple exploration of what Jesus’ arrival in Jerusalem might have been like without the benefit of hindsight- and what this teaches us today.

    I remember as a small child really enjoying palm Sunday. At a small church in the middle of nowhere, I have this memory of being given a palm cross and being told to wave it about. Waving things about was what I was normally told NOT to do, so perhaps this is why it stuck in my mind. The other ...read more

    "God Make Us Good Again"

     | 6,267 views

    The message helps us understand God doesn't expect us to be great, but he does expect us to be good by doing justly, loving mercy, and walking humbly.

    Four thousand years ago, barrenness was the ultimate disgrace; it was seen as a sign of divine disfavor. If you don’t have children, it’s because God’s got something against you. Period. A woman who couldn’t conceive suffered not only lack of approval, but also the threat of divorce. And barrenness ...read more

    The Move Of God

    Contributed by J. Yeargin on Mar 9, 2017
     | 33,736 views

    Question: • What do I expect from the Lord today? • Are my personal needs more important that my willingness to praise and bless the name of the Lord?

    THE MOVE OF GOD Text: II Kings 4:8 thru 17 (NIV) Review of this morning: 1. Elisha was a man of God who represents for us the Move of God, or the Presence of God that passes by in our daily lives. If you look closely, you can often see God coming from the distance. But you need to be ...read more

     | 79 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

    When God takes us off of the trash heap and makes something new, he has promises and expectations.

    Christmas is one time of the year when many people get creative. Some people make new things. Others take old things and make them like new. I remember reading about prisoners who took on the project of refurbishing old toys so some kids could have something special for Christmas. And Kay has ...read more

    We dream and we dream big, then God does not do the way we expected Him to, when we expected Him to, but God is still moving, His not sudden move comes all of a sudden.

    You don't have to be a theological scholar to figure out what God expects of those who follow Jesus. He made it really clear. Take care of those who are in need in Jesus Name because you love God and you love people.

    What followers of Jesus call the providence of God the world calls coincidence. I have so many stories about how God's providence showed up in our life just when we needed it to. I'm sure you have some, too. Kristi and I marvel at how God has provided for us in various ways through the years; an ...read more

    In Jonah 3:1-4:11, we learn that God's forgiveness extends to all, even to those we expect would reject God.

    Introduction I am currently preaching a series of sermons that I am calling, “Glory: The Character of God.” In this five-week-long series, I am exploring God’s self-revelation of himself to Moses in Exodus 34:6-7.

    Remembering God’s past faithfulness fuels our present hope and prayer, empowering us to trust Him and expect His power in today’s challenges.

    Some nights feel noisier than others. The worries keep whispering, the clock keeps ticking, and our hearts keep wondering if morning will ever come. Have you been there? You grab your phone, scroll a few old photos, and a smile slips in where sighs used to sit. Memory does that. Memory can be a ...read more

    A Christmas sermon looking at Simeon and Anna and how they waited for the promise of God with great anticipation and expectation.

    Waiting For Christmas Luke 2:21-38 Last week we looked at four major players in the birth of Jesus. Today I’d like to look at two more who, while they were not present at Jesus’ birth, waited with great anticipation and expectation for the day to arrive. None of us are very good at waiting.

     | 1,754 views

    But if we choose to run to God and rely on His strength to help us, we can not only defeat our opposition, because God has been making us better, stronger and wiser through the process of life. Believers are built for this.

    Sermon: Built for This. Scripture Lesson: Numbers 13:26-33 “to Moses, Aaron, and the whole community of Israel at Kadesh in the wilderness of Paran.
