    Weary Of Waiting On The Lord?

    Contributed by Bruce Hadley on May 13, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,126 views

    Have you ever asked or trusted the Lord for something; and you fully expected He would give it to you. But instead, what response you receive from the Lord is to be patient?

    Have you ever asked or trusted the Lord for something; and you fully expected He would give it to you. But instead, what response you receive from the Lord is to be patient? Truth is, you don’t want to patient for the Lord to bless or deliver you, or at least not patient for long duration of ...read more

    What Are We Waiting For?

    Are we waiting in eager expectation for the gift of the Spirit? A heavy re-work of a much earlier sermon from many years ago, which is looking to provoke a change in peoples perspectives.

    In the Name of the living God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen. Very, very occasionally I will head off somewhere on a train, and as I look around the platform, it doesn’t take too long to see that there is a difference between how adults and children wait for its arrival.

    "A Simple Matter”

    Contributed by Larry Grant on Jan 15, 2023

     | 2,068 views

    As God gives freely to the unworthy, so he gives richly, like himself, more than we are able to ask or think. His gifts outdo our requests and expectations.

    2 Kings 3:9-18 “A Simple Matter” January 15, 2023 The Division King Jehoram of Israel was not an honorable man. “He did evil in the sight of the Lord” Though he was not like his father Ahab or his mother Jezebel because he put away the sacred things of the false god Baal, we are told that he still ...read more

    Joy Of Palm Sunday

    Contributed by Rev. Duraimony Dickson on Apr 22, 2022
     | 1,898 views

    Don’t allow your way of thinking or your expectations to distance you from God. Lift your heart to Him right now and surrender your life to Him.

    As we all know, today is Palm Sunday. Today is the day that Jesus Christ made His triumphal entrance into Jerusalem. And today marks the beginning of the last week our Lord was on the earth. At this point in time, Jesus was very well known. Many people spoke of His popularity and fame. In other ...read more

    In this message, we will see how the birth announcement of the King of Kings wasn’t delivered to the rich or royal, but it was instead delivered in the least expected place. It was delivered to some lowly shepherds.

    When people send out baby shower invitations, they primarily mail them to family and friends. I once saw a really funny movie, a comedy, where a couple sent out fake shower announcements when they weren’t really going to have a baby. They were in debt and needed some money to pay off their bills, ...read more

    When God Crosses His Hands

    Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Jan 17, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,733 views

    One commentator writes about God’s crossed hands of blessing -- sometimes God chooses to bless that which we don’t expect Him to bless in our lives.

    TITLE: WHEN GOD CROSSES HIS HANDS SCRIPTURE: GENESIS 48:14 As we look at our text we read here where Joseph is presenting his two sons Ephraim and Manessah before his father JACOB/ISRAEL who by now can hardly see because of his advanced age. He is presented these two boys in whom he is going to ...read more

    Envision: The Great Commission

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 25, 2024
     | 1,175 views

    Jesus doesn’t send us into this world, lost world without any resources. He doesn’t expect us to accomplish this Great Commission in our own power.

    Opening illustration: When Jesus spoke these words directly to His disciples, and indirectly to us, He was giving the church her marching orders. He was telling exactly what He expected us to do in His physical absence. The disciples took the Lord’s command seriously. They went into the world and ...read more

    No Greater Reward

    Contributed by Efren V. Narido on Apr 14, 2024
     | 1,146 views

    Even during our time here on earth, we can already expect a reward from the Great Rewarder. So, what kind of reward can He give now?

    “After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision: ‘Fear not, Abram, I am your shield; your reward shall be very great.’ But Abram said, ‘O Lord GOD, what will you give me, for I continue childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?’ And Abram said, ...read more

    No One Will Take My Place

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Feb 28, 2025
     | 449 views

    God has a divine assignment for each of us, and He expects us to fulfil it. However, when people fail in their calling, God can replace them with someone else.

    NO ONE WILL TAKE MY PLACE By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 1 Samuel 16:1 "And the Lord said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite: for I have provided ...read more

    The Gospel. Part 4: What Happens If We Reject Jesus?

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Nov 24, 2020
     | 2,519 views

    Without Jesus in our lives, sin takes hold; weeds start to grow up in the garden of our lives. But the consequences for eternity are much more serious. However, does scripture really lead us to expect the 'pains of hell for ever'?

    Please note. The passage for this talk is Matthew 25:31-46, however the main focus of the talk is v.46. Part 4: What happens if we reject Jesus? Today we have the fourth and last talk in my series on the gospel. We’re thinking about the question, ‘What happens if we reject Jesus?’ Quite a ...read more

    Unexpected Events (Part 1) Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 7, 2021
     | 5,858 views

    Pivotal events can happen unexpectedly in our lives. If we are able to accept that fact and (at the same time) trust God with the changes that accompany those events, we will manage life better. This message explores unexpected events in Moses's life.

    Today I want to talk about two unexpected events in Moses’s life. One was a glorious encounter with God that set him on the course for the last 40 years of his life. The other was a painful experience that equipped him to fulfill the mission given to him in the first encounter. In both cases the ...read more

    God is thoroughly and completely committed to you, so commit yourself to Him, commit yourself to justice, and commit yourself to compassion.

    Several years ago, a national magazine assigned a photographer to take pictures of a forest fire. They told him a small plane would be waiting at the airport to fly him over the fire. The photographer arrived at the airstrip just an hour before sundown. Sure enough, a small Cessna airplane stood ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 25, 2023
     | 1,028 views

    More pointers are given that help in times of injustice and stress and tribulation. We look at God in retribution and the handling of wicked people who become our enemies. We also look at how hymns can be helpful. God recompenses, not us, so don’t try!

    Beyond salvation, we must be serving. Christians don’t know when He will return, but we know WHAT He expects! We know what to BE, and what to DO.....

    A newspaper (Houston Chronicle, 11/3/92, p.11a), printed an article some years ago about the church known as Mission for the Coming Days. That “church” disbanded on Nov 2, 1992. The pastor had been put in jail...(for a very good reason)! It seems that his central message was the return of Christ ...read more
