    In the hodge-podge world in which anything goes, God expects us to choose. You determine which type of man or woman you will be. Paul urges you to be a spiritual person focused on God and His will in your life.

    Jesus said, if the world hated Me, keep in mind it hate Me first! While not everyone faces physical violence, born again believers, who are not part of this world, can expect to be persecuted for Christ's name sake.

    If the World Hates You John 15:18-25 Online Sermon: http://www.mckeesfamily.com/?page_id=3567 Over 2,000 years ago the world received one of the best gifts ever given to humanity, a Babe lying in a manger!

    Christ has all the power in heaven and on earth, portions of this power has been given to everyone that believes in His name and that is living a new life by the works of His redemption. Such people are expected to walk in dominion in every area.

    Walking in Dominion Study Text: Ephesians 1: 19 - 23 Ephesians 1:19-23, "may you have the spirit of understanding and your eyes be enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness ...read more

     | 4,075 views

    The disciples were expecting Jesus to be an earthly king who would destroy his enemies and rule in the tradition of King David. But what did Jesus do? He took a towel and a wash basin and started washing the feet of the disciples.

    Jesus Washing the Disciples Feet. John 13:1-17 We have in this passage the account of Jesus washing the feet of his disciples the night before he was crucified. John is the only gospel writer that records this foot washing. As you read the life of Christ in the Gospels, you cannot help but ...read more

    We have been given grace by God. But now what? Did you know He expects us to pass that grace onto others? Learn how to be a better grace-giver.

    INTRODUCTION Al Masters lives in the eastern part of Pennsylvania. He is married and he had a little boy and a small business. He considered himself very blessed.

    Mixing Politics And Religion

    based on 39 ratings
     | 6,621 views

    Election sermons were common, even expected, in early America. This is a 21st century election sermon. Here we explore, not party politics, but principles of politics from the word of God.

    Mixing Politics and Religion Politics is the process by which we establish government. The word "politics" is derived from two words. The first, "poly", is a Latin word meaning many. The second, "tics", describes blood-sucking creatures. I’m kidding, of course, but - In my many years of ...read more

    The Christmas Story is about the Emmanuel Factor – the presence of Jesus – Heaven Invading Earth. And because Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever, we can expect miracles in our lives today!

    THE EMMANUEL FACTOR: WHEN HEAVEN INVADES EARTH HEALING AND MIRACLE SERVICE OPENING TEXT: "Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel," which is translated, "God with us.” (Matthew 1:23).

     | 5,956 views

    We all have expectations of who Jesus is and what He is about. Are yours correct? Jesus’ family, friends, and even His enemies had misconceptions about His real purpose.

    What is Jesus to you? It’s an honest question. A recent online poll found that 37% said Jesus may or may not have even existed and that there is no way to know for sure, 23% said that the gospels are a bunch of fictional tales, 16% say that he may have existed but so many myths have grown up around ...read more

    Jesus tells us that we’re expected to "bear fruit." What does that mean and how can we do it so that we honor His desire in our lives on this matter?

    OPEN: Back in the 70’s, a man and his wife were driving to thru Cape Cod, when they spotted a field loaded with blueberries. They stopped and proceeded to eat their fill.

    Beyond salvation, we must be serving. Christians don’t know when He will return, but we know WHAT He expects! We know what to BE, and what to DO.....

    A newspaper (Houston Chronicle, 11/3/92, p.11a), printed an article some years ago about the church known as Mission for the Coming Days. That “church” disbanded on Nov 2, 1992. The pastor had been put in jail...(for a very good reason)! It seems that his central message was the return of Christ ...read more

     | 17,349 views

     Whereas the English word “hope’ may have an element of uncertainty in it, the Greek words in the New Testament always speak of a sure expectation of some good outcome or positive result.

    THE GOD OF HOPE INTRO ----- ILLUSTRATION - "I had something to look forward to." The story is told of a muti-millionaire businessman who greatly changed the lives of a sixth-grade class in a poor downtrodden township. This was an area where most of the students would not finish formal schooling. ...read more

    Consequences Of Disobedience

    based on 228 ratings
     | 36,893 views

    Based on Saul’s partial obedience in destroying the Amalekites we look at the causes and consequences of disobedience in our own lives. God expects total obedience. Partial obedience is equivalent to disobedience.

    Introduction: The first King of Israel faced disastrous consequences because he failed to obey God. The hardening of his heart and his casual attitude to the sin of partial obedience caused him to be rejected as King. He lost his kingdom and eventually lost his life. As we analyze the reasons ...read more

    Thanking Hard

    Contributed by Craig Benner on Nov 27, 2013
     | 3,125 views

    Sometimes it does not make sense to be thankful. But it is always the will of God. If we can thank God in the hard times, and keep a right attitude, He will reward us with blessings that we never expected.

    Thanking Hard Mark 6:34-44----Central Text Hard times---the disciples treasury only had 200 pennies (possibly the value of $32 in today's economy) and only one boy out of 20,000 people had any food on their person. It would have been a miracle to have bought food for 20,000 people for that ...read more

     | 15,582 views

    Sermon on Following up with our life, after Easter is over. Acts 2 gives us the road map on what to do and when to expect those signs and miracles from God.

    Here we are, two weeks after Easter, the crucifixion is over, the resurrection is over, sort of. At least all the celebration is over, too bad for that. We have studied about the Road to Emmaus and the two men who met Christ there. Those two men that were quiet, and heartbroken and thought that ...read more
