    John the Baptist is not sure that Jesus is the anointed 'Messiah'

    Matthew 11:2-11 In the past two weeks, our Advent lessons have taught us to prepare to celebrate both the past and the future - to celebrate both the birth of Jesus 2,020 years ago and to heighten our anticipation of his coming anew at a date and time no one knows for sure. The lessons have ...read more

    "Expect The Unexpected This Christmas”

     | 1,938 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

     | 779 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

    Rejoicing When You Want Fiery Justice Instead!! Series

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Dec 16, 2023
     | 1,255 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

    Transition And Testimony (Matthew 11:1-30)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 14, 2025
     | 464 views

    Our commentary on Matthew continues with Jesus' testimony about the ministry of John the Baptist and the promise of judgment upon the unbelieving cities who witnessed HIs work yet did not repent.

    Matthew 11 begins with what is referred to as a "transitional" passage (v.1). While the disciples were going around the countryside doing the work that Jesus had commissioned, He continued to preach in the cities in Galilee. Verses 2-3 describe how John the Baptist had been thrown into ...read more

    As followers of Christ, we have a greater experience of the kingdom of heaven than those who lived before Jesus, because we have the forgiveness of sin, Christian community, an indwelling Holy Spirit, and the mind-blowing beauty of the gospel story.

    Hey everyone! Today, we're going to talk about how we, as followers of Jesus, have an even greater experience than John the Baptist. Yeah, you heard that right! We have some amazing advantages that people before Jesus could only dream about. So, let's dive in and see what this is all about. But ...read more

     | 1,240 views

    Those of us alive today in the kingdom of God have a greater experience than John the Baptist because we have advantages that were once only dreamed about: the forgiveness of sin, Christian community, an indwelling Holy Spirit, and the mind-blowing beauty of the gospel story. These elements make the kingdom of heaven a greater reality for present-day followers of Christ.

    From Doubting To Faith

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jul 19, 2025

     | 980 views

    The best thing we can do during difficulties and trials is to bring all our griefs, troubles, and discouragements to Jesus. This is what John the Baptist did when he was in prison, and it helped him move from doubting to faith.

    All me to begin with an illustration: “Joe Scriven was a missionary from Ireland to Canada, working among the Iroquois Indians. He was joined by his fiancé, who was also from Ireland. Just before the wedding, she was killed in an accident. Joe buried her with his own hands and a broken ...read more

    Church, I want to talk to you this morning about doubt. Not the kind of doubt that destroys faith, but the kind of doubt that deepens it. The kind of doubt that sends you searching for answers instead of running away from questions..

    Introduction Church, I want to talk to you this morning about doubt. Not the kind of doubt that destroys faith, but the kind of doubt that deepens it.

    And it was through the faith of the virgin Mary of Nazareth and the birth of Her Son that the promises of Isaiah came to life in the Church Jesus left after His resurrection and ascension.

    Third Sunday of Advent 2025 Today we sing psalm 146, the first of the five alleluia psalms which act as a final movement to the whole book of psalms.

    When God’s plans confuse us, as they did John the Baptist, Jesus reminds us that His kingdom begins with mercy before judgment—and blessed is the one who trusts Him even in the waiting.

    Good MORNING. Advent, Christmas and the New Year invite us to look at expectations, not only expectations for our own lives, but also the expectations we can make about God.
