    Expectations & Evidence

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Apr 16, 2023
     | 842 views

    Yeshua was saying, “Don’t be upset because I’m not what you expected. You’ve got my credentials. Now trust me for the rest of it.”

    Zach was tired. He had been coming down to Tiberias every week for almost two months, bringing news and food to John in prison, and it looked like he’d probably be doing it for the rest of the year. Nothing had changed. After Herod arrested John for publicly accusing him of incest and adultery, ...read more

    It's A Wonderful Life Ii

    I wonder how many people have been touched by this simple film. People who have seen it have testified that it gave them hope. Hope is what Christmas is all about. The Scripture passages we read this morning are all about hope.

    Every year about this time television stations bring out of their vaults an old black and white film that is still popular today. They have already shown it this year. The film is It’s a Wonderful Life. In the film, George Bailey never felt like he amounted to much in life. He had dreams of ...read more

    Rejoice! The Kingdom Is Coming!

    Beloved in Christ, today we find ourselves in the third week of Advent, often called *Gaudete Sunday*. Gaudete means “rejoice,” and that is our call today—to rejoice in the Lord, for the Kingdom is near!

    Showing John The Baptist The Gospel

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Dec 14, 2024
     | 425 views

    For the Third Sunday in Advent, we look at John the Baptist in Jail, stuck in depression and questioning God. His search for who the Messiah is supposed to be helps us to see clearly who God is, and how He works in our lives.

    Showing John the Baptist the Gospel Good Morning. We live by expectations, and that’s not necessarily bad. When we go to bed at night, we expect the alarm to work. We expect others to stop at stop signs. In fact, we have a lot of expectations about how others should act. Our days are full of ...read more

    Is This A Curve Ball? (Advent 2009)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Dec 1, 2023
     | 630 views

    This sermon is about being surprised by tbd unexpected things much like Jesus seems to have surprised John the Baptist.

    IS THIS A CURVE BALL? Text: Matthew 11:2-11 I read about someone’s recollection of a performance that he (Tom Wright) had been rehearsing for on stage at an earlier time in his life. He mentions that all had been going according to plan most of the time. “We had all rehearsed ...read more

    Doubt: The Devil’s Most Lethal Weapon

    Contributed by Rakesh Sharma on Oct 25, 2024
     | 796 views

    Doubt can be one of the most destructive forces in our spiritual lives, often leading us away from God's promises and plans. In this sermon, we will explore how the enemy uses doubt as a weapon against us and discover the truth that sets us free from its grasp.

    >> Opening Bible Verse: James 1:5-8 (NIV) "If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and ...read more

    Rejoicing When You Want Fiery Justice Instead!! Series

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Dec 16, 2023
     | 1,016 views

    John the Baptist sits in jail, waiting for Justice to rain down upon Herod. Meanwhile Christ preaches Good News, rather than wrath. How can we rejoice when there is no justice in this world?

    Good Morning! As someone who grew up in a liturgical church, I realize that Lent and Advent can be easy to confuse. I say the wrong name quite a bit and might accidentally say the wrong name this morning. That’s one of those pastor cliches. My pastor, from our parish down in Baltimore, kept putting ...read more

    "Blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in Me" (Matthew 11:6).

    JESUS AND JOHN THE BAPTIST. Matthew 11:2-10. MATTHEW 11:2-3. We do not know for sure why John the Baptist sent two of his disciples to speak with Jesus. Perhaps prison had knocked the wind out of his sails, and he wanted some reassurance that it had not all been in vain. Or perhaps it was for ...read more

    Grab Hold Of The Authority And Power Of God

    Contributed by James May on Aug 31, 2022
     | 5,380 views

    We must have God's authority and power with us if we are to fight the spiritual warfare in these last hours. We need faith to reach out and take hold of God's promises like the Woman with the issue of blood who took hold of the hem of his garment.

    Grab Hold of the Authority and Power of God We live in a time when so many in the church have taken on the attitude of the people who lived in the Land of the Gadarenes in Luke chapter 8. I won’t go into the history of the land of the Gadarenes except to say that many of those who lived there ...read more

    The Wicked Generation

     | 1,822 views

    John the Baptizer wasted no time in telling Herod that it was wrong for him to have his brother Phillip’s wife saying that it was not lawful. John went to prison for being the prophet God called him to be and not the puppet that Herod wanted him to be.

    THE WICKED GENERATION Text: Matthew 11:1 – 19, 25- 30 N. T. Wright once said that “… wicked people don’t like a message of judgment because they think the message is aimed at them, (and rightly so) while good people don’t like a message of mercy because they think (wrongly) that ...read more

    "Expect The Unexpected This Christmas”

    Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Jan 2, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,483 views

    As some of said, “If we expect to hear the Christmas gospel without the Advent call to repentance, we will find ourselves surprised by John and unprepared for Jesus.” So, we ask the Holy Spirit to open our hearts to the message and ministry of both John and Jesus.

    “It wasn’t what I expected.” Whether you are young or old, a man or woman, a girl or a boy, you have probably experienced something that caused you to have that reaction. Perhaps it was connected to some food that you tried. You were feeling a little adventurous and you ordered something at a ...read more

    Life is filled with moments of doubt. John the Baptist, a man who boldly proclaimed the coming of the Messiah finds himself in a dark prison cell, questioning whether Jesus truly is the One he had been waiting for. Even the strongest among us may question what we once knew to be true.
