     | 955 views

    4 of 6. Titus was exhorted by the apostle Paul, to expose God’s people to the expectations for godly living. All God’s people are answerable to His expectations for godly living. But, What are some expectations for godly living by God’s people?

    EXPECTATIONS For GODLY LIVING-IV—Titus 2:1-15 Attention: God has ‘Expectations’ of those who commit themselves to Him thru Jesus Christ! Need: There is an ultimate ‘fulfillment & satisfaction’ that CAN come to your life! BUT that ‘fulfillment & satisfaction’ can ONLY come to you thru ...read more

    Things are not what they seem to. It's not what I expected.

    As we look at our story, we see that John had been in the desert disciplining himself waiting for this special moment. And when the Word of God came to him, he came out of the desert preaching up a storm. And let me drop something in your spirit early this morning and that is whenever those who are ...read more

    What Jesus Expects From Us

     | 996 views

    If we really know the Biblical Jesus and have faith in Him, what are some of the positive reactions He expects from us?

    "The Jews answered him, 'Are we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?' Jesus answered, 'I do not have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me. Yet I do not seek my own glory; there is One who seeks it, and he is the judge. Truly, truly, I say to ...read more

    Sermon: Expect A Prophet’s Reward

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Oct 21, 2024
     | 889 views

    Jesus talks about the rewards one can expect for receiving prophets, righteous men, and giving cups of cold water to little ones in the name of a disciple. How can we be sure that we will receive the prophet’s reward?

    Sermon: Expect A Prophet’s Reward Scripture Lessons: Matthew 10:1, 16, 40-42 “And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease” 16 “Behold, I send you forth as sheep in ...read more

    This sermon explores the concept of Jesus's unexpected return as taught in the Bible, encouraging believers to live in hopeful anticipation of God's presence in their daily lives.

    Have you ever struggled with doubts about faith? I want to introduce you to a guy named John Wesley who lived in England from 1703-1791. He was the 15th of 19 kids, and his mom homeschooled them all. His father was a pastor in the Anglican Church, and John himself became a pastor in that same ...read more

    When You Least Expect Him Youth Sermon

    Contributed by Youth Sermons on Sep 5, 2023
    based on 4 ratings
     | 913 views

    Jesus taught that the Son of Man would return when we least expect him. This has implications for future, end-time theology as well as present-day, right-now living. Our Father wants us to live with expectant hope because He can show up in any situation at any moment.

    Today, I want to talk about surprises. You know, those moments when something unexpected happens, and it catches you off guard. I have this little gift box here, and there's a surprise inside. I'm not going to tell you what it is just yet, but I want you to keep it in mind as we go through our ...read more

    Learning how to look at the part of the glass that is full rather than on the portion that is empty energizes believers

    How Paul Focused Not on What He Lacked But On What He Had in Christ (Acts 27:1-26) 1. Why do you suppose that many people become depressed, discouraged or frustrated by circumstances? Maybe they are focusing more attention on what they do not have rather than on what they possess in Christ Jesus. ...read more

    The marriage feast at Cana would have been identified by lack. Except a handful of servants obeyed Christ, which changed empty to abundance.

    Eleven Precious Verses open the story. John 2:9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, 10 And saith unto him, Every man at the ...read more

    It is a word that reveals lack. It holds no element of promise. The need is apparent...the solution is not. Nothing. How do you live through the nothings?

    Living Thru The Nothings Pt. 3 - Running Man It is one of my least favorite words. Nothing. It is a word that reveals lack. It holds no element of promise. It contains no ounce of hope.

    The True, (But Maybe Hidden) Meaning Of The Feeding Of The 5000.

    Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Jul 29, 2024
     | 745 views

    The true meaning of the feeding of the 5000 is rarely stated less acted on. We need to learn what this is, and how we can apply it to our lives. It takes a whole new mindset.

    This sermon was delivered to Holy Trinity Church in Ayr, Ayrshire, Scotland on the 28th July 2024 (a Scottish Episcopal Church in the Dioceses of Glasgow and Dumfries). “Please join me in my prayer.” Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of our hearts, be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, ...read more
