    Waiting On God

    Waiting on God is one of the most difficult things to do. Apparently the whole life secret lies in it. What does waiting on the Lord include? Let me put it in three brief exhortations. Keep near Him; keep still; expect.

    Illustration: Themistocles, who led the Greeks in the famous naval battle of Salamis, for some reason unknown to his troops, delayed the engagement. It was expected that he would avail himself of the early morning hours; and when what seemed the golden opportunity had gone in inactivity, there were ...read more

    How we respond to the true meaning and significance of Christmas is – as we'll see this morning – a choice between choosing the blessings of a Holy and Loving God committed to honor His rules and expectations; OR choosing instead a life under the auspices

    “WHY CHRISTMAS IS A GIFT WE CAN'T REFUSE” 2nd In Series: “Why Christmas Is Not Optional” Rev. Todd G. Leupold, Perth Bible Church, 12/20/2009 AM INTRODUCTION: This Christmas season we are taking a closer look at why “Christmas” - in it's truest and purest ...read more

    Israel could not expect communion with God, unless they first sought peace with him. Where there is not friendship, there can be no fellowship. God and man cannot walk together, except they are agreed. Unless we seek his glory, we cannot walk with him.

    Agreement! Text: Amos 3:1-3 1 Hear this word that the LORD has spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying:2 “ You only have I known of all the families of the earth; Therefore I will punish you for all your ...read more

    As Christians are we expected to exercise dominion over the winds? .When Jesus rebuked the winds they obeyed. How come a boisterous wind blew when Peter step out of the boat and why is the bible specific about the names of each wind? Is there something

    By Bode Ayodele There are various winds in the earth. Each wind serves a specific purpose. Going through the bible you will notice that each type of wind is called by its specific name. We also discover from the scriptures that different winds play different roles. The bible mentions four major ...read more

    Jesus’ parables are both works of art and the weapons he used in the conflict with his opponents. They were the teaching method he chose most frequently to explain the kingdom of God and to show the character of God and the expectations God has for people. Klyne Snodgrass

    QUESTIONS: ➢ What should we expect for this New Year? ➢ I am convinced that our church family has a lot of potential, but what should we do differently this year? ➢ Or do we keep doing what worked for us in 2015?

    THE SPIRIT FILLED CHURCH IN 2016 Sville – 01.03.16 I am curious to know what your personal thoughts are for our church, NEW LIFE in the year of 2015. What will you remember about last year?

    As we approach the coming Day of the Lord can we expect to hear audible sounds from the heavens? From the pages of Scripture we find some remarkable (even if overlooked) accounts of sounds from the heavens that surround decisive historical events.

    The apostle Paul's comments about the coming man of sin jive perfectly with Daniel's, Jesus', and John's. One would expect this in a Book that proclaims itself to be the Word of God. One author in Heaven speaking His truths through many authors on earth.

    7. PAUL: II THESSALONIANS 2 Did Paul ever deal with the question of the antichrist? Most assuredly. And as one might expect, this passage, II Thessalonians 2, has been abused quite a bit through the years. Let’s look at the first 12 verses. In the first place, Paul meant in no way to ...read more

    Explains the words of John the Baptist: "One greater than I is coming...but I baptize in water, He will baptize you in the Holy Ghost." Sermon shows that every believer needs to be sanctified, and the expectation of Mark’s Gospel is that our discipleship

    “He Will Baptize You with the Holy Spirit” (Mark 1:8) Last week we looked at Christ’s calling of his disciples. He said, “Follow me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.” And they left their nets, they left their boats and followed him… Others left their tax-collector’s booth or ...read more

    God doesn’t expect us to be perfect--God knows us better than that. God does encourage us, though, to acknowledge our sin, seek to turn away from our rebelliousness, and received God’s forgiveness.

    Psalm 51:1-19 “A Merciful God” INTRODUCTION For decades, the church has focused on sin. Preachers appear to have taken delight in telling the members of their congregation how bad and sinful they were. The theme seemed to be, “If it felt good, then it had to be bad.” Congregational members ...read more

    Here, in the New Jerusalem, we have something totally unique: a sinless, pure, community of righteousness, a holy city. Problems arise when believers expect this kind of community now, or fail to realize that it only comes down out of heaven. T

    God expects us to come up higher in every area of our lives. He told the children of Israel to take a long and lasting look at the Egyptians (who oppressed them), because they were about to embark on a journey of no return to the past bondage.

    While many poeple may feel uncertain of what will happen to them when their life comes to an end, God wants us to know exactly what to expect. These words from 1 Thessalonians bring confidence and comfort to the Christian in the face of death.

    “I don’t know.” Those can be some of the most difficult words for us to say. To say, “I don’t know” is to admit that we don’t have all the answers. And we like to have answers because it makes us feel more in control, more secure, more prepared. That’s probably one of the reasons that doctors ...read more
