    Disappointed But Not Discouraged

    Contributed by J Bernard Taylor on Dec 15, 2019
     | 9,969 views

    Disappointment refers to sadness or displeasure from failure to fulfill ones hopes or expectations. Discouragement means loss of hope or enthusiasm as a result. It is possible to be disappointed without being discouraged.

    DISAPPOINTED BUT NOT DISCOURAGED Introduction Frequently, employers will ask prospective employees what their biggest disappointment in life has been. The question probably gives employers a hint about how these prospective employees handle times of stress and hardships in life. We ...read more

    John the Baptist lost his certainty of who Jesus was. We can suffer from the "doldrums," too.

    December 15, 2019 Hope Lutheran Church Rev. Mary Erickson Isaiah 35:1-10; Matthew 11:2-11 Christmas Doldrums Friends, may grace and peace be yours in abundance in the knowledge of God and Christ Jesus our Lord. “Are you the one who is to come, or are we to wait for another?” The John the ...read more

    Our current circumstances do not set the parameters for God’s faithfulness. His Word, as He engages our ears with His exceeding great and precious promises, is the measure of His faithfulness.

    Jesus, John, And Joy: Listening To The Right Prophet

     | 4,113 views

    Sermon for Advent 3, year C. John the Baptist sent his disciples to Jesus wanting to know why Jesus allowed him to remain in jail. Jesus quoted the prophet Isaiah back to him, and said, "rejoice."

    Preparing for 2020 John, Jesus, and Joy: Listening to the right prophet. I do not wear pink very often (unless I lose a bet, like today…). But, there is one service in the church year where the priest can wear pink vestments. Rose Sunday, or the Sunday of Joy… Today. I didn’t want to wear ...read more

    As John the Baptist sat in prison, staring at the end of his life, he started to wonder if Jesus was everything that he expected Jesus to be. See how Jesus answers that question and continues to answer our questions when we might doubt if God is really all that we hoped him to be.

    Was it everything that you had expected? You ripped open the rapping paper on Christmas morning to unveil the toy that you had seen advertised so many times on TV. You had been sure to put it at the top of your Christmas list in great detail taking away any of the possible guess work as to which ...read more

    John the Baptist's followers struggle with changing their allegiance to Jesus.

    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

    The true Wisdom is revealed to - and in - the children of God.

    THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS ABOUT JOHN. Matthew 11:1-19. MATTHEW 11:1. In this verse we discover the whole purpose of Christian witness and mission. The places to which - and more importantly the people to whom - the Lord was sending His disciples were the very same places and people that Jesus had ...read more

    The Wicked Generation

    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”

    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

    Transition And Testimony (Matthew 11:1-30)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 14, 2025
     | 290 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

    When things don't go as expected, we often begin to question and doubt. By reflecting and trusting the facts, and remaining firm in the Promises fulfilled and yet to come, we can find peace in trusting HIM. The invitation has been given, "Come unto Me and find peace."

    2025.04.27. Sermon Notes. THE COMING ONE, REST ON JESUS, MATTHEW 11 William Akehurst, HSWC INTRO: When things don't go as expected we often begin to question our thinking.

    From Doubting To Faith

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jul 19, 2025

     | 444 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

    "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

    Doubt: The Devil’s Most Lethal Weapon

     | 720 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.
