    John the Baptist wasn’t sure if Jesus was the one he was to be expecting. Sometimes, our expectations don’t come true either, especially at Christmas.

    Matthew 11:1-11: GREAT EXPECTATIONS, AND RECOGNIZING THE MIRACULOUS “Why do I feel depressed right now, when I’m supposed to feel happy?” “Why do I feel frustrated right now, when I’m supposed to feel joyful?” “This isn’t the way it was supposed to be.

    Should Christians ever doubt - and what should we do if we do?

    Doubt: Mt 11:1-15 This morning’s Gospel reading shows how doubt comes to that great man of God, John the Baptist. How come you might ask? Last week’s reading showed John the Baptist being very sure that Jesus was the Messiah. He had heard the words of God the Father announcing that Jesus was ...read more

    Contributed by Spencer Homan on Dec 7, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,016 views

    This is a sermon that focuses on the true identify of Jesus.

    “Are you he who is to come?” “Are you he who is to come, or should we look for another?” The question itself seems harmless enough. A simple yes or no answer would seem quite sufficient for such a straightforward question. And yet, it was not… that simple of a question, and Jesus did not ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 5,593 views

    Jesus didn't fit John's idea of what the Messiah would be like. Jesus stressed love rather than judgment. Jesus moves in surprising ways and communicates God's grace in unexpected situations.

    Matthew 11:2-11 “Different Expectations” INTRODUCTION The family gathers around the newborn’s bassinette. They marvel at this squirming gift of life, and give thanks for health and wholeness. As they gaze upon the baby’s features they wonder what the child will ...read more

    Encouragement for those times when, like John the Baptist, we have become frustrated and disappointed when God didn't work in the way we hoped or prayed about.

    BELOVED PASTOR, D. L. MOODY, ONCE REMARKED THAT, “THE BEST WAY TO SHOW THAT A STICK IS CROOKED IS NOT TO ARGUE ABOUT IT OR TO SPEND TIME DENOUNCING IT, BUT TO LAY A STRAIGHT STICK ALONGSIDE IT.” IT IS HUMAN NATURE TO QUESTION AND TO BE SKEPTICAL OF FACTS, FIGURES OR ANY TYPE OF ...read more

  • John’s Question

    Contributed by Dan Finch on Dec 25, 2010
     | 10,121 views

    Everybody wants to be a winner and be on the winning team. John the baptizer was afraid that he was mistaken about Jesus because he saw him headed toward a cross. We are still a lot like John. Following Jesus is often not about winning.

    It’s hard to be sure when you are in pain It’s easy to be confident when things are going well – when you are young, strong – LeBron James for instance, went on TV and had a whole show just to say that he was going to the Miami Heat. Look at me, look how confident I am. This is going to be great. ...read more
